Commit Message

Masahiro Yamada Feb. 2, 2023, 3:37 a.m. UTC
In short, the motivation of this commit is to build a source package
without cleaning the source tree.

The deb-pkg and (src)rpm-pkg targets first run 'make clean' before
creating a source tarball. Otherwise build artifacts such as *.o,
*.a, etc. would be included in the tarball. Yet, the tarball ends up
containing several garbage files since 'make clean' does not clean
everything.

Cleaning the tree every time is annoying since it makes the incremental
build impossible. It is desirable to create a source tarball without
cleaning the tree.

In fact, there are some ways to archive this.

The easiest way is 'git archive'. Actually, 'make perf-tar*-src-pkg'
does this way, but I do not like it because it works only when the source
tree is managed by git, and all files you want in the tarball must be
committed in advance.

I want to make it work without relying on git. We can do this.

Files that are not tracked by git are generated files. We can list them
out by parsing the .gitignore files. Of course, .gitignore does not cover
all the cases, but it works well enough.

tar(1) claims to support it:

  --exclude-vcs-ignores

    Exclude files that match patterns read from VCS-specific ignore files.
    Supported files are: .cvsignore, .gitignore, .bzrignore, and .hgignore.

The best scenario would be to use 'tar --exclude-vcs-ignores', but this
option does not work. --exclude-vcs-ignore does not understand any of
the negation (!), preceding slash, following slash, etc.. So, this option
is just useless.

Hence, I wrote this gitignore parser. The previous version [1], written
in Python, was so slow. This version is implemented in C, so it works
much faster.

This tool traverses the source tree, parsing the .gitignore files. It
prints the file paths that are not tracked by git. The output can be
used for tar's --exclude-from= option.

[How to test this tool]

  $ git clean -dfx
  $ make -s -j$(nproc) defconfig all                       # or allmodconifg or whatever
  $ git archive -o ../linux1.tar --prefix=./ HEAD
  $ tar tf ../linux1.tar | LANG=C sort > ../file-list1     # files emitted by 'git archive'
  $ make scripts_exclude
    HOSTCC  scripts/gen-exclude
  $ scripts/gen-exclude --prefix=./ -o ../exclude-list
  $ tar cf ../linux2.tar --exclude-from=../exclude-list .
  $ tar tf ../linux2.tar | LANG=C sort > ../file-list2     # files emitted by 'tar'
  $ diff  ../file-list1 ../file-list2 | grep -E '^(<|>)'

The source tarball contains most of files that are tracked by git. You
see some diffs, but it is just because some .gitignore files are wrong.

In v2 you also checked against "(*p + 3) == '\0'".  Is the explicit check
against end-of-string really not needed here?  (pattern = "whatever/**/*.tmp"?)

I struggled across that comment and it took me quite some time to match it to
strcspn_trailers() behaviour.  I expect it to strip all unescaped occurrences
of c at the end of str and return the resulting strlen.  After reading it
several times, I can get a match.  I _think_ main confusion came from my (quite
imperfect) English:

  "one two  "
   ^^^         initial segment of string not containing unquoted c ??

   ^^^^^^^     substr that is considered by strcspn_trailer

But this is just about a comment and I'm sure I understand what is intended.
No action required.

Is this really intended?  Or 'spn = str - s + 1'?

Are escaped slashes allowed in file names in git?  I think use of original
strcspn() would have been enough.

  p = (struct pattern) {

Why don't you check against errno == 2 (ENOENT)?  I assume, no other 
errno value is expected, but for me it feels a bit odd to not check it 
and exit loudly if something (unlikely) like EMFILE causes open() to 
fail.

Not relevant for in-tree use: git does not complain about '\0' in a .gitignore
but also handles the remaining part of the file.

I like the idea of gen-exclude.

Testing with some strange patterns seems to reveal some missing points.  It
should not be problematic, as nobody wants to write such .gitignore patterns,
but for completeness:

  $ mkdir -p test/foo/bar
  $ touch test/foo/bar/baz.tmp
  $ cat <<-eof >test/.gitignore
  **/*.tmp
  **/baz.tmp
  foo/**/*.tmp
  **/bar/baz.tmp
  /**/*.tmp
  eof
  $ cd test
  $ ../scripts/gen-exclude --debug
  [DEBUG]Add pattern: .git/
  [DEBUG]Enter[0]: .
  [DEBUG]  ./test: no match
  [DEBUG]  Enter[1]: ./test
  [DEBUG]    Parse ./test/.gitignore
  [DEBUG]    Add pattern: ./test/**/*.tmp
  [DEBUG]    Add pattern: ./test/**/baz.tmp
  [DEBUG]    Add pattern: ./test/foo/**/*.tmp
  [DEBUG]    Add pattern: ./test/**/bar/baz.tmp
  [DEBUG]    Add pattern: ./test/**/*.tmp
  [DEBUG]    ./test/.gitignore: no match
  [DEBUG]    ./test/foo: no match
  [DEBUG]    Enter[2]: ./test/foo
  [DEBUG]      ./test/foo/bar: no match
  [DEBUG]      Enter[3]: ./test/foo/bar
  [DEBUG]        ./test/foo/bar/baz.tmp: no match
  [DEBUG]      Leave[3]: ./test/foo/bar
  [DEBUG]    Leave[2]: ./test/foo
  [DEBUG]  Leave[1]: ./test
  [DEBUG]Leave[0]: .

Thus, no match.  Everything else I tested, did what I expected.

No reason - I just forgot to run sparse.

This detects a trailing "/**".


See this documentation:
https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.39.1/Documentation/gitignore.txt#L123



"whatever/**/*.tmp" is detected by the previous
     if (!strncmp(p, "**/", 3))


strcmp(p, "/**") only matches the pattern at the end,
while strncmp(p, "**/", 3) matches the pattern anywhere.


Anyway, I will throw away this code in v5.

I am not good at English.

Indeed, this comment is really confusing.

Something like the following would have been clearer.

// This function strips the unescaped sequence of the given char from the end
// of the string, and returns the length of the resulting substring.

I think you meant, 'spn = s - str + 1'

My code works, but I think yours is cleaner
because it does not require 'len'.




BTW, I read the source code of GIT.

GIT's implementation is here:

Perhaps, I had some reason to implement it like this, but
I cannot recall it.



Anyway, GIT's implementation is very simple:

https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.39.1/dir.c#L634

I will follow that.

Good suggestion.

I will fix it.

GIT also checks this:

You are right.

I confirmed it from the source code:
https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.39.1/dir.c#L1141


I will follow that.

You are right.

test/foo/bar/baz.tmp must be ignored.


I read the code because I was curious how GIT does this.

GIT has its own fnmatch() that supports double asterisks too.
https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.39.1/wildmatch.c#L55


I cannot write such clever code, so I will
import the matching code in v5.


V5 is almost ready for submission.
The code grew up to 1000 lines, but I can live with that.



In my local test, v5 worked correctly.

[DEBUG] Enter[0]: .
[DEBUG]   ./test: no match
[DEBUG]   Enter[1]: ./test
