We perform unchecked additions when computing the size of a
"struct ondisk_untracked_cache". This is unlikely to have an
integer overflow in practice, but we'd like to avoid this
dangerous pattern to make further audits easier.
Note that there's one subtlety here, though. We protect
ourselves against a NULL exclude_per_dir entry in our
source, and avoid calling strlen() on it, keeping "len" at
0. But later, we unconditionally memcpy "len + 1" bytes to
get the trailing NUL byte. If we did have a NULL
exclude_per_dir, we would read from bogus memory.
As it turns out, though, we always create this field
pointing to a string literal, so there's no bug. We can just
get rid of the pointless extra conditional.

We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where
the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more
simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer
overflow.
There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n)
is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no
guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some
cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the
allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that
the contents will always fill the buffer.
In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined
the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

It is not a good idea to compare kernel versions and disable
the untracked cache if it changes, as people may upgrade and
still want the untracked cache to work. So let's just
compare work tree locations and kernel name to decide if we
should disable it.
Also storing many locations in the ident field and comparing
to any of them can be dangerous if GIT_WORK_TREE is used with
different values. So let's just store one location, the
location of the current work tree.
The downside is that untracked cache can only be used by one
type of OS for now. Exporting a git repo to different clients
via a network to e.g. Linux and Windows means that only one
can use the untracked cache.
If the location changed in the ident field and we still want
an untracked cache, let's delete the cache and recreate it.
Note that if an untracked cache has been created by a
previous Git version, then the kernel version is stored in
the ident field. As we now compare with just the kernel
name the comparison will fail and the untracked cache will
be disabled until it's recreated.

When working with paths in strbufs, we frequently want to
ensure that a directory contains a trailing slash before
appending to it. We can shorten this code (and make the
intent more obvious) by calling strbuf_complete.
Most of these cases are trivially identical conversions, but
there are two things to note:
- in a few cases we did not check that the strbuf is
non-empty (which would lead to an out-of-bounds memory
access). These were generally not triggerable in
practice, either from earlier assertions, or typically
because we would have just fed the strbuf to opendir(),
which would choke on an empty path.
- in a few cases we indexed the buffer with "original_len"
or similar, rather than the current sb->len, and it is
not immediately obvious from the diff that they are the
same. In all of these cases, I manually verified that
the strbuf does not change between the assignment and
the strbuf_complete call.
This does not convert cases which look like:
if (sb->len && !is_dir_sep(sb->buf[sb->len - 1]))
strbuf_addch(sb, '/');
as those are obviously semantically different. Some of these
cases arguably should be doing that, but that is out of
scope for this change, which aims purely for cleanup with no
behavior change (and at least it will make such sites easier
to find and examine in the future, as we can grep for

In order for it to detect that the directory under examination should
not be excluded right away, in other words it is a parent directory of a
negative pattern, the "directory path" of the negative pattern must be
literal. Patterns like "!f?o/bar" can't stop "foo" from being excluded.
Basename matching (i.e. "no slashes in the pattern") or must-be-dir
matching (i.e. "trailing slash in the pattern") does not work well with
this. For example, if we descend in "foo" and are examining "foo/abc",
current code for "foo/" pattern will check if path "foo/abc", not "foo",
is a directory. The same problem with basename matching. These may need

First, the current code in untracked_cache_invalidate_path() is wrong
because it can only handle paths "a" or "a/b", not "a/b/c" because

directory "a" instead. This means if you delete or add an entry in a
subdirectory, untracked cache may become out of date because it does not
invalidate properly. This is noticed by David Turner.

Previously, some calls lookup_untracked would pass a full path. But
lookup_untracked assumes that the portion of the path up to and
including to the untracked_cache_dir has been removed. So
lookup_untracked would be looking in the untracked_cache for 'foo' for
'foo/bar' (instead of just looking for 'bar'). This would cause
untracked cache corruption.
Instead, treat_directory learns to track the base length of the parent
directory, so that only the last path component is passed to
lookup_untracked.

One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a
constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two
drawbacks:
1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime
is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc.
2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This
is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it
correctly at least once), but many of these constant
strings appear throughout the code.
This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize"
these strings, which are essentially globals for the
lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take
ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for
subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for
defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few
common ones for global use.
Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely
document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch
them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the
git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of
the stored values), it will be much easier to have the
complete list.
Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual
declarations. We could do something clever with the macros
(e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a
declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't
that many, and it's probably better to stay away from
too-magical macros.
Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of
generating these with a script, we could get much fancier.
E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz".
But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth
the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the
function's definition.

If we redo this thing in a functional style, we would have one struct
untracked_dir as input tree and another as output. The input is used
for verification. The output is a brand new tree, reflecting current
worktree.
But that means recreate a lot of dir nodes even if a lot could be
shared between input and output trees in good cases. So we go with the
messy but efficient way, combining both input and output trees into
one. We need a way to know which node in this combined tree belongs to
the output. This is the purpose of this "recurse" flag.
"valid" bit can't be used for this because it's about data of the node
except the subdirs. When we invalidate a directory, we want to keep
cached data of the subdirs intact even though we don't really know
what subdir still exists (yet). Then we check worktree to see what
actual subdir remains on disk. Those will have 'recurse' bit set
again. If cached data for those are still valid, we may be able to
avoid computing exclude files for them. Those subdirs that are deleted
will have 'recurse' remained clear and their 'valid' bits do not
matter.

The main readdir loop in read_directory_recursive() is replaced with a
new one that checks if cached results of a directory is still valid.
If a file is added or removed from the index, the containing directory
is invalidated (but not its subdirs). If directory's mtime is changed,
the same happens. If a .gitignore is updated, the containing directory
and all subdirs are invalidated recursively. If dir_struct#flags or
other conditions change, the cache is ignored.
If a directory is invalidated, we opendir/readdir/closedir and run the
exclude machinery on that directory listing as usual. If untracked
cache is also enabled, we'll update the cache along the way. If a
directory is validated, we simply pull the untracked listing out from
the cache. The cache also records the list of direct subdirs that we
have to recurse in. Fully excluded directories are seen as "untracked
files".
In the best case when no dirs are invalidated, read_directory()
becomes a series of
stat(dir), open(.gitignore), fstat(), read(), close() and optionally
hash_sha1_file()
For comparison, standard read_directory() is a sequence of
opendir(), readdir(), open(.gitignore), fstat(), read(), close(), the
expensive last_exclude_matching() and closedir().
We already try not to open(.gitignore) if we know it does not exist,
so open/fstat/read/close sequence does not apply to every
directory. The sequence could be reduced further, as noted in
prep_exclude() in another patch. So in theory, the entire best-case
read_directory sequence could be reduced to a series of stat() and
nothing else.
This is not a silver bullet approach. When you compile a C file, for
example, the old .o file is removed and a new one with the same name
created, effectively invalidating the containing directory's cache
(but not its subdirectories). If your build process touches every
directory, this cache adds extra overhead for nothing, so it's a good
idea to separate generated files from tracked files.. Editors may use
the same strategy for saving files. And of course you're out of luck
running your repo on an unsupported filesystem and/or operating system.

The idea is if we can capture all input and (non-rescursive) output of
read_directory_recursive(), and can verify later that all the input is
the same, then the second r_d_r() should produce the same output as in
the first run.
The requirement for this to work is stat info of a directory MUST
change if an entry is added to or removed from that directory (and
should not change often otherwise). If your OS and filesystem do not
meet this requirement, untracked cache is not for you. Most file
systems on *nix should be fine. On Windows, NTFS is fine while FAT may
not be [1] even though FAT on Linux seems to be fine.
The list of input of r_d_r() is in the big comment block in dir.h. In
short, the output of a directory (not counting subdirs) mainly depends
on stat info of the directory in question, all .gitignore leading to
it and the check_only flag when r_d_r() is called recursively. This
patch records all this info (and the output) as r_d_r() runs.
Two hash_sha1_file() are required for $GIT_DIR/info/exclude and
core.excludesfile unless their stat data matches. hash_sha1_file() is
only needed when .gitignore files in the worktree are modified,
otherwise their SHA-1 in index is used (see the previous patch).
We could store stat data for .gitignore files so we don't have to
rehash them if their content is different from index, but I think
.gitignore files are rarely modified, so not worth extra cache data
(and hashing penalty read-cache.c:verify_hdr(), as we will be storing
this as an index extension).
The implication is, if you change .gitignore, you better add it to the
index soon or you lose all the benefit of untracked cache because a
modified .gitignore invalidates all subdirs recursively. This is
especially bad for .gitignore at root.
This cached output is about untracked files only, not ignored files
because the number of tracked files is usually small, so small cache
overhead, while the number of ignored files could go really high
(e.g. *.o files mixing with source code).
