d84eefaeea meson: wire up benchmarks
Wire up benchmarks in Meson. The setup is mostly the same as how we wire
up our tests. The only difference is that benchmarks get wired up via
the `benchmark()` option instead of via `test()`, which gives them a bit
of special treatment:

  - Benchmarks never run in parallel.

  - Benchmarks aren't run by default when tests are executed.

  - Meson does not inject the `MALLOC_PERTURB` environment variable.

Using benchmarks is quite simple:

    ```
    $ meson setup build
    # Run all benchmarks.
    $ meson test -C build --benchmark
    # Run a specific benchmark.
    $ meson test -C build --benchmark p0000-*
    ```

Other than that the usual command line arguments accepted when running
tests are also accepted when running benchmarks.

Note that the benchmarking target is somewhat limited because it will
only run benchmarks for the current build. Other use cases, like running
benchmarks against multiple different versions of Git, are not currently
supported. Users should continue to use "t/perf/run" for those use
cases. The script should get extended at one point in time to support
Meson, but this is outside of the scope of this series.

5756ccd181 t/perf: fix benchmarks with out-of-tree builds
The "perf-lib.sh" script is sourced by all of our benchmarking suites to
make available common infrastructure. The script assumes that build and
source directory are the same, which works for our Makefile. But the
assumption breaks with both CMake and Meson, where the build directory
can be located in an arbitrary place.

Adapt the script so that it works with out-of-tree builds. Most
importantly, this requires us to figure out the location of the build
directory:

  - When running benchmarks via our Makefile the build directory is the
    same as the source directory. We already know to derive the test
    directory ("t/") via `$(pwd)/..`, which works because we chdir into
    "t/perf" before executing benchmarks. We can thus derive the build
    directory by appending another "/.." to that path.

  - When running benchmarks via Meson the build directory is located at
    an arbitrary location. The build system thus has to make the path
    known by exporting the `GIT_BUILD_DIR` environment variable.

This change prepares us for wiring up benchmarks in Meson.

d84b990883 t/perf: use configured PERL_PATH
Our benchmarks use a couple of Perl scripts to compute results. These
Perl scripts get executed directly, and as the shebang is hardcoded to
"/usr/bin/perl" this will fail on any system where the Perl interpreter
is located in a different path.

Our build infrastructure already lets users configure the location of
Perl, which ultimately gets written into the GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file.
This file is being sourced by "test-lib.sh", and consequently we already
have the "PERL_PATH" variable available that contains its configured
location.

Use "PERL_PATH" to execute Perl scripts, which makes them work on more
esoteric systems like NixOS. Furthermore, adapt the shebang to use
env(1) to execute Perl so that users who have Perl in PATH, but in a
non-standard location can execute the script directly.

5a6b9c8155 t/perf: fix benchmarks with alternate repo formats
Many of our benchmarks operate on a user-defined repository that we copy
over before running the benchmarked logic. To keep unintentional side
effects caused by on-disk state at bay we skip copying some files. This
includes for example hooks, but also the repo's configuration.

It is quite sensible to not copy over the configuration, as it is quite
easy to inadvertently carry over configuration that may significantly
impact the performance measurements. But we cannot fully ignore the
configuration either, as it may contain information about the repository
format. This will cause failures when for example using a repository
with SHA256 object format or the reftable ref format.

Fix the issue by parsing the reference and object formats from the
source repository and passing them to git-init(1).

c858c6442b bundle-uri: copy all bundle references ino the refs/bundle space
When downloading bundles via the bundle-uri functionality, we only copy the
references from refs/heads into the refs/bundle space. I'm not sure why this
refspec is hardcoded to be so limited, but it makes the ref negotiation on
the subsequent fetch suboptimal, since it won't use objects that are
referenced outside of the current heads of the bundled repository.

This change to copy everything in refs/ in the bundle to refs/bundles/
significantly helps the subsequent fetch, since nearly all the references
are now included in the negotiation.

The update to the bundle-uri unbundling refspec puts all the heads from a
bundle file into refs/bundle/heads instead of directly into refs/bundle/ so
the tests also need to be updated to look in the new heirarchy.

d235c468a5 send-email: retrieve Message-ID from outlook SMTP server
The script generates a Message-ID alongwith the other headers when
gen_header is called, and is sent alongwith the email. For most email
providers, including gmail, the Message-ID goes unchanged to the
recipient.

But, this does not seem to be a case with Outlook. In Outlook, when we
send our own Message-ID as a part of the headers, it discards it. Then
it generates a new random Message-ID and that is what the recipient
gets.

This is a problem because the Message-ID is crucial when we are sending
multiple emails in a thread. The current implementation for threads in
the script replies to the Message-ID it generated, but due to Outlook's
behavior, it is not the same as the one that the recipient got, thus
breaking threads. So a need arises to retrieve the Message-ID from the
server response and set it in the In-Reply-To and References email
headers instead of using the self generated one for the purpose of
replies.

The $smtp->message variable in this script for outlook is something like
this:

2.0.0 OK <Message-ID> [Hostname=Some-hostname]

The Message-ID here is the one the recipient gets, rather than the one
the script generated.

This patch uses the fact above and retrieves the Message-ID from the
server response. It then changes the value of the $message_id variable
to the one received from the server. This value will be used when next
and subsequent messages are sent as replies to the message, thus
preserving the threading of the messages.

4cba20fbdc meson: prefer shell at "/bin/sh"
Meson detects the path of the target shell via `find_program("sh")`,
which essentially does a lookup via `PATH`. This may easily lead to a
subtly-broken Git distribution when the build host has its shell in a
location that the target host doesn't know about.

Fix the issue by appending "/bin" to the custom program path, which
causes us to prefer "/bin/sh" over a `PATH`-based lookup. While
"/bin/sh" isn't standardized, this path tends to work alright on Linux
and BSD distributions. Furthermore, "/bin/sh" is also the path we pick
in our Makefile by default, which further demonstrates that this shell
fulfills our needs.

Note that we intentionally append, not prepend, to the custom program
path. This is because the program path can be configured by the user via
the `-Dsane_tool_path=` build option, which should take precedence over
any defaults we pick for the user.

2cfe0541e7 meson: report detected runtime executable paths
Git needs to know about a couple of executable paths to pick at runtime.
This includes the system shell, but may also optionally include the Perl
and Python interpreters. Meson detects the location of these paths
automatically via `find_program()`, which does a lookup via the `PATH`
environment variable. As such, it may not be immediately obvious to the
developer which paths have been autodetected.

Improve this by exposing runtime executable paths at setup time.

d380dfeed7 meson: only check for missing networking syms on non-Windows; add compat impls
These are added in the Makefile, but not in meson. They probably won't
work well on systems without them.

CMake adds them, but only on non-Windows. Actually, it only performs
compiler checks for hstrerror, but excludes that check on Windows with
the note that it is "incompatible with the Windows build". This seems to
be misleading -- it is not incompatible, it simply doesn't exist. Still,
the compat version should not be used.

I interpret this cmake logic to mean we shouldn't even be checking for
symbol availability on Windows. In addition to making it simple to add
compat definitions, this also probably shaves off a second or two of
configure time on Windows as no compiler check needs to be performed.

f5e3c6c57d meson: do a full usage-based compile check for sysinfo
On Solaris, sys/sysinfo.h is a completely different file and doesn't
resemble the linux file at all. There is also a sysinfo() function, but
it takes a totally different call signature, which asks for:

- the field you wish to receive
- a `char *buf` to copy the data to

and is very useful IFF you want to know, say, the hardware provider. Or,
get *specific* fields from uname(2).

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E86824_01/html/E54765/sysinfo-2.html

It is surely possible to do this manually via `sysconf(3)` without the
nice API. I can't find anything more direct. Either way, I'm not very
attached to Solaris, so someone who cares can add it. Either way, it's
wrong to assume that sysinfo.h contains what we are looking for.

Check that sysinfo.h defines the struct we actually utilize in
builtins/gc.c, which will correctly fail on systems that don't have it.

945090de2d meson: check for getpagesize before using it
It is deprecated and removed in SUS v3 / POSIX 2001, so various systems
may not include it. Solaris, in particular, carefully refrains from
defining it except inside of a maze of `#ifdef` to make sure you have
kept your nose clean and only used it in code that *targets* SUS v2 or
earlier.

config.mak.uname defines this automatically, though only for QNX.

61fb2262e7 meson: simplify and parameterize various standard function checks
This is repetitive logic. We either want to use some -lc function, or if
it is not available we define it as -DNO_XXX and usually (but not
always) provide some custom compatibility impl instead.

Checking the intent of each block when reading through the file is slow
and not very DRY. Switch to taking an array of checkable functions
instead.

Not all functions are straightforward to move, since different macro
prefixes are used.

cbc1d8e265 ci: update the message for unavailble third-party software
An earlier fix added an extra message immediately after failing to
download a third-party package.  But near the end of the script,
their availability is checked again and given a message.

Remove the new ones added with a recent fix, as they are redundant.
If we were to add more places to download these software (e.g. for
other platforms we currently do not download them on), the existing
warnning near the end of the script will also trigger.

While at it, as Dscho suggests, rewrite the WARNING: label on the
warning message to ::warning::, which presumably should be shown a
bit more prominently in the CI summary.

The ci/install-dependencies.sh script used in a very early phase of
our CI jobs downloads Perforce, Git-LFS, and JGit, used for running

the tests that depend on these external software, but the CI script
is unnecessarily strict (due to its use of "set -e" in ci/lib.sh)
and fails the entire CI run before even starting to test the rest of
the system.

Notice a failure to download to any of these external software, but
keep going.  We need to be careful about cleaning after a failed
wget, as a later part of the script that does:

        if type jgit >/dev/null 2>&1
        then
                echo "$(tput setaf 6)JGit Version$(tput sgr0)"

        else
                echo >&2 "WARNING: JGit wasn't installed, see above for clues why"

will (surprise!) succeed running "type jgit", and then fail with
"jgit version", taking the whole thing down due to "set -e".

eb2d7beb0e maintenance: fix launchctl calendar intervals
When using the launchctl scheduler, the weekly job runs daily, and the
daily job runs on the first six days of each month. This appears to be
due to specifying "Day" in the calendar intervals, which according to
launchd.plist(5) is for specifying days of the month rather than days of
the week. The behaviour of running a job on the 0th day is undocumented,
but in my testing appears to be the same as not specifying "Day" in the
calendar interval, in which case the job will run daily.

Use "Weekday" in the calendar intervals, which is the correct way to
schedule jobs to run on specific days of the week.

02a132616a meson: add support for 'hdr-check'
The Makefile supports a target called 'hdr-check', which checks if
individual header files can be independently compiled. Let's port this
functionality to Meson, our new build system too. The implementation
resembles that of the Makefile and provides the same check.

Since meson builds are out-of-tree, header dependencies are not
automatically met. So unlike the Makefile version, we also need to add
the required dependencies.

Also add the 'xdiff/' dir to the list of 'third_party_sources' as those
headers must be skipped from the checks too. This also skips the folder
from the 'coccinelle' checks, this is okay, since this code is an
external dependency.

7e873eb390 meson: rename 'third_party_sources' to 'third_party_excludes'
The 'third_party_sources' variable was moved to the root 'meson.build'
file in the previous commit. The variable is actually used to exclude
third party sources, so rename it accordingly to 'third_party_excludes'
to avoid confusion. While here, remove a duplicate from the list.

1597b6e86e meson: move headers definition from 'contrib/coccinelle'
The Meson build for coccinelle static analysis lists all headers to
analyse. Due to the way Meson exports variables between subdirs, this
variable is also available in the root Meson build.

An upcoming commit, will add a new check complimenting 'hdr-check' in
the Makefile. This would require the list of headers. So move the
'coccinelle_headers' to the root Meson build and rename it to 'headers',
remove the root path being appended to each header and retain that in
the coccinelle Meson build since it is specific to the coccinelle build.

Also move the 'third_party_sources' variable to the root Meson build
since it is also a dependency for the 'headers' variable. This also
makes it easier to understand as the variable is now propagated from the
top level to the bottom.

While 'headers_to_check' is only computed when we have a repository and
the 'git' executable is present, the variable itself is exposed as an
empty array. This allows dependencies in upcoming commits to simply
check for length of the array and not worry about dependencies required
to actually populate the array.

8e980b7f25 coccinelle: meson: rename variables to be more specific
In Meson, included subdirs export their variables to top level Meson
builds. In 'contrib/coccinelle/meson.build', we define two such
variables `sources` and `headers`. While these variables are specific to
the checks in the 'contrib/coccinelle/' directory, they also pollute the
top level 'meson.build'.

Rename them to be more specific, this ensures that they aren't
mistakenly used in the upper levels and avoid variable name collisions.

While here, change the empty list denotation to be consistent with other
places.

a064b0be55 ci/github: install git before checking out the repository
The GitHub's CI workflow uses 'actions/checkout@v4' to checkout the
repository. This action defaults to using the GitHub REST API to obtain
the repository if the `git` executable isn't available.

The step to build Git in the GitHub workflow can be summarized as:

  ...
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4 #1
  - run: ci/install-dependencies.sh #2
  ...
  - run: sudo --preserve-env --set-home --user=builder ci/run-build-and-tests.sh #3
  ...

Step #1, clones the repository, since the `git` executable isn't present
at this step, it uses GitHub's REST API to obtain a tar of the
repository.

Step #2, installs all dependencies, which includes the `git` executable.

Step #3, sets up the build, which includes setting up meson in the meson
job. At this point the `git` executable is present.

This means while the `git` executable is present, the repository doesn't
contain the '.git' folder. To keep both the CI's (GitLab and GitHub)
behavior consistent and to ensure that the build is performed on a
real-world scenario, install `git` before the repository is checked out.
This ensures that 'actions/checkout@v4' will clone the repository
instead of using a tarball. We also update the package cache while
installing `git`, this is because some distros will fail to locate the
package without updating the cache.

436a42215e max_tree_depth: lower it for clangarm64 on Windows
Just as in b64d78ad02 (max_tree_depth: lower it for MSVC to avoid
stack overflows, 2023-11-01), I encountered the same problem with the
clang builds on Windows/ARM64.

The symptom is an exit code 127 when t6700 tries to verify that `git
archive big` fails.

This exit code is reserved on Unix/Linux to mean "command not found".
Unfortunately in this case, it is the fall-back chosen by
Cygwin's `pinfo::status_exit()` method when encountering
the NSTATUS `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW`, see
https://github.com/cygwin/cygwin/blob/cygwin-3.6.1/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc#L171

I verified manually that the stack overflow always happens somewhere
around tree depth 1403, therefore 1280 should be a safe bound in these
instances.

619950d421 mingw(arm64): do move the /etc/git* location
In fb5e3378f8 (mingw: move Git for Windows' system config where users
expect it, 2021-06-22), I moved the location of Git for Windows' system
config and system Git attributes file to the top-level `/etc/` directory
(because it is a much more obvious location than, say, `/mingw64/etc/`).

The patch relied on a very specific scenario that the newly-supported
Windows/ARM64 builds of `git.exe` fails to fall into. So let's broaden
the condition a bit, so that Windows/ARM64 builds also use that location
(instead of the even more obscure `/clangarm64/etc/` directory).

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5431.

8945fba590 msvc: do handle builds on Windows/ARM64
Git for Windows/ARM64 settled on using `clang` to compile `git.exe`, and
hence needs to run in a system where `MSYSTEM` is set to `CLANGARM64`
and the prefix to use is `/clangarm64`.

We already did that in the `MINGW` arm, i.e. for regular Git for Windows
builds using MINGW GCC (or `clang`'s shim pretending to be GCC), now it
is time to do the same in the MS Visual C part.

It does not compile there, and seeing as nedmalloc has been pretty much
unmaintained since at least November 2017, as per

there is also no hope that any fixes will materialize there.
