In commit 4057523a40 ("submodule merge: update conflict error message",
2022-08-04), a more detailed message was provided when submodules
conflict, in order to help users know how to resolve those conflicts.
There were a couple situations for which a different message would be
more appropriate, but that commit left handling those for future work.
Unfortunately, that commit would check if any submodules were of the
type that it didn't know how to explain, and, if so, would avoid
providing the more detailed explanation even for the submodules it did
know how to explain.
Change this to have the code print the helpful messages for the subset
of submodules it knows how to explain.

Commit 4057523a40 ("submodule merge: update conflict error message",
2022-08-04) added a sub_flag variable that is used to store a value from
enum conflict_and_info_types, but initializes it with a value of -1 that
does not correspond to any of the conflict_and_info_types. The code may
never set it to a valid value and yet still use it, which can be
surprising when reading over the code at first. Initialize it instead
to the generic CONFLICT_SUBMODULE_FAILED_TO_MERGE value, which is still
distinct from the two values we need to special case.

translating 6 different pieces of the new message and then used
carefully crafted logic to allow stitching it back together with special
formatting. Keep the components of the message together as much as
possible, so that:
* we reduce the number of things translators have to translate
* translators have more control over the format of the output
* the code is much easier for developers to understand too
Also, reformat some comments running beyond the 80th column while at it.

Our pipe_command() helper lets you both write to and read from a child
process on its stdin/stdout. It's supposed to work without deadlocks
because we use poll() to check when descriptors are ready for reading or
writing. But there's a bug: if both the data to be written and the data
to be read back exceed the pipe buffer, we'll deadlock.
The issue is that the code assumes that if you have, say, a 2MB buffer
to write and poll() tells you that the pipe descriptor is ready for
writing, that calling:
write(cmd->in, buf, 2*1024*1024);
will do a partial write, filling the pipe buffer and then returning what
it did write. And that is what it would do on a socket, but not for a
pipe. When writing to a pipe, at least on Linux, it will block waiting
for the child process to read() more. And now we have a potential
deadlock, because the child may be writing back to us, waiting for us to
read() ourselves.
An easy way to trigger this is:
git -c add.interactive.useBuiltin=true \
-c interactive.diffFilter=cat \
checkout -p HEAD~200
The diff against HEAD~200 will be big, and the filter wants to write all
of it back to us (obviously this is a dummy filter, but in the real
world something like diff-highlight would similarly stream back a big
output).
If you set add.interactive.useBuiltin to false, the problem goes away,
because now we're not using pipe_command() anymore (instead, that part
happens in perl). But this isn't a bug in the interactive code at all.
It's the underlying pipe_command() code which is broken, and has been
all along.
We presumably didn't notice because most calls only do input _or_
output, not both. And the few that do both, like gpg calls, may have
large inputs or outputs, but never both at the same time (e.g., consider
signing, which has a large payload but a small signature comes back).
The obvious fix is to put the descriptor into non-blocking mode, and
indeed, that makes the problem go away. Callers shouldn't need to
care, because they never see the descriptor (they hand us a buffer to
feed into it).
The included test fails reliably on Linux without this patch. Curiously,
it doesn't fail in our Windows CI environment, but has been reported to
do so for individual developers. It should pass in any environment after
this patch (courtesy of the compat/ layers added in the last few
commits).

When write() to a non-blocking pipe fails because the buffer is full,
POSIX says we should see EAGAIN. But our mingw_write() compat layer on
Windows actually returns ENOSPC for this case. This is probably
something we want to correct, but given that we don't plan to use
non-blocking descriptors in a lot of places, we can work around it by
just catching ENOSPC alongside EAGAIN. If we ever do fix mingw_write(),
then this patch can be reverted.
We don't actually use a non-blocking pipe yet, so this is still just
preparation.

If xwrite() sees an EAGAIN response, it will loop forever until the
write succeeds (or encounters a real error). This is due to ef1cf0167a
(xwrite: poll on non-blocking FDs, 2016-06-26), with the idea that we
won't be surprised by a descriptor unexpectedly set as non-blocking.
But that will make things awkward when we do want a non-blocking
descriptor, and a future patch will switch pipe_command() to using one.
In that case, looping on EAGAIN is bad, because the process on the other
end of the pipe may be waiting on us before doing another read() on the
pipe, which would mean we deadlock.
In practice we're not supposed to ever see EAGAIN here, since poll()
will have just told us the descriptor is ready for writing. But our
Windows emulation of poll() will always return "ready" for writing to a
pipe descriptor! This is due to 94f4d01932 (mingw: workaround for hangs
when sending STDIN, 2020-02-17).
Our best bet in that case is to keep handling other descriptors, as any
read() we do may allow the child command to make forward progress (i.e.,
its write() finishes, and then it read()s from its stdin, freeing up
space in the pipe buffer). This means we might busy-loop between poll()
and write() on Windows if the child command is slow to read our input,
but it's much better than the alternative of deadlocking.
In practice, this busy-looping should be rare:
- for small inputs, we'll just write the whole thing in a single
write() anyway, non-blocking or not
- for larger inputs where the child reads input and then processes it
before writing (e.g., gpg verifying a signature), we may make a few
extra write() calls that get EAGAIN during the initial write, but
once it has taken in the whole input, we'll correctly block waiting
to read back the data.
- for larger inputs where the child process is streaming output back
(like a diff filter), we'll likewise see some extra EAGAINs, but
most of them will be followed immediately by a read(), which will
let the child command make forward progress.
Of course it won't happen at all for now, since we don't yet use a
non-blocking pipe. This is just preparation for when we do.

We define MAX_IO_SIZE within wrapper.c, but it's useful for any code
that wants to do a raw write() for whatever reason (say, because they
want different EAGAIN handling). Let's make it available everywhere.
The alternative would be adding xwrite_foo() variants to give callers
more options. But there's really no reason MAX_IO_SIZE needs to be
abstracted away, so this give callers the most flexibility.

We'd like to be able to make some of our pipes nonblocking so that
poll() can be used effectively, but O_NONBLOCK isn't portable. Let's
introduce a compat wrapper so this can be abstracted for each platform.
The interface is as narrow as possible to let platforms do what's
natural there (rather than having to implement fcntl() and a fake
O_NONBLOCK for example, or having to handle other types of descriptors).
The next commit will add Windows support, at which point we should be
covering all platforms in practice. But if we do find some other
platform without O_NONBLOCK, we'll return ENOSYS. Arguably we could just
trigger a build-time #error in this case, which would catch the problem
earlier. But since we're not planning to use this compat wrapper in many
code paths, a seldom-seen runtime error may be friendlier for such a
platform than blocking compilation completely. Our test suite would
still notice it.

Currently, negotiation for V0/V1/V2 fetch have trace2 regions covering
the entire negotiation process. However, we'd like additional data, such
as timing for each round of negotiation or the number of "haves" in each
round. Additionally, "independent negotiation" (AKA push negotiation)
has no tracing at all. Having this data would allow us to compare the
performance of the various negotation implementations, and to debug
unexpectedly slow fetch & push sessions.
Add per-round trace2 regions for all negotiation implementations (V0+V1,
V2, and independent negotiation), as well as an overall region for
independent negotiation. Add trace2 data logging for the number of haves
and "in vain" objects for each round, and for the total number of rounds
once negotiation completes. Finally, add a few checks into various
tests to verify that the number of rounds is logged as expected.

This script is currently used by three test files: t0021-conversion.sh,

t2082-parallel-checkout-attributes.sh. To avoid the need for the PERL
dependency at these tests, let's convert the script to a C test-tool
command. The following commit will take care of actually modifying the
said tests to use the new C helper and removing the Perl script.
The Perl script flushes the log file handler after each write. As
commented in [1], this seems to be an early design decision that was
later reconsidered, but possibly ended up being left in the code by
accident:
>> +$debug->flush();
>
> Isn't $debug flushed automatically?
Maybe, but autoflush is not explicitly enabled. I will
enable it again (I disabled it because of Eric's comment
but I re-read the comment and he is only talking about
pipes).
Anyways, this behavior is not really needed for the tests and the
flush() calls make the code slightly larger, so let's avoid them
altogether in the new C version.

commits we are going to replace the script with a C test-tool helper,
but the test currently expects the error message in a Perl-specific

Perl-specific part and only grep for <msg> itself.
