13f8336b2b fsmonitor: optimize processing of directory events
Teach Git to perform binary search over the cache-entries for a directory
notification and then linearly scan forward to find the immediate children.

Previously, when the FSMonitor reported a modified directory Git would
perform a linear search on the entire cache-entry array for all
entries matching that directory prefix and invalidate them.  Since the
cache-entry array is already sorted, we can use a binary search to
find the first matching entry and then only linearly walk forward and
invalidate entries until the prefix changes.

Also, the original code would invalidate anything having the same
directory prefix.  Since a directory event should only be received for
items that are immediately within the directory (and not within
sub-directories of it), only invalidate those entries and not the
whole subtree.

0398d35ff7 fsmonitor--daemon: stub in health thread
Create another thread to watch over the daemon process and
automatically shut it down if necessary.

This commit creates the basic framework for a "health" thread
to monitor the daemon and/or the file system.  Later commits
will add platform-specific code to do the actual work.

The "health" thread is intended to monitor conditions that
would be difficult to track inside the IPC thread pool and/or
the file system listener threads.  For example, when there are
file system events outside of the watched worktree root or if
we want to have an idle-timeout auto-shutdown feature.

ee3be16449 t7527: test FS event reporing on MacOS WRT case and Unicode
Confirm that MacOS FS events are reported with a normalized spelling.

APFS (and/or HFS+) is case-insensitive.  This means that case-independent
lookups ( [ -d .git ] and [ -d .GIT ] ) should both succeed.  But that
doesn't tell us how FS events are reported if we try "rm -rf .git" versus
"rm -rf .GIT".  Are the events reported using the on-disk spelling of the
pathname or in the spelling used by the command.

NEEDSWORK: I was only able to test case.  It would be nice to add tests
that use different Unicode spellings/normalizations and understand the
differences between APFS and HFS+ in this area.  We should confirm that
the spelling of the workdir paths that the daemon sends to clients are
always properly normalized.

4597bc9a8a compat/fsmonitor/fsm-listen-win32: handle shortnames
Teach FSMonitor daemon on Windows to recognize shortname paths as
aliases of normal longname paths.  FSMonitor clients, such as `git
status`, should receive the longname spelling of changed files (when
possible).

Sometimes we receive FS events using the shortname, such as when a CMD
shell runs "RENAME GIT~1 FOO" or "RMDIR GIT~1".  The FS notification
arrives using whatever combination of long and shortnames were used by
the other process.  (Shortnames do seem to be case normalized,
however.)

Use Windows GetLongPathNameW() to try to map the pathname spelling in
the notification event into the normalized longname spelling.  (This
can fail if the file/directory is deleted, moved, or renamed, because
we are asking the FS for the mapping in response to the event and
after it has already happened, but we try.)

Special case the shortname spelling of ".git" to avoid under-reporting
these events.

67f2c1df79 fsmonitor: force update index after large responses
Set the `FSMONITOR_CHANGED` bit on `istate->cache_changed` when
FSMonitor returns a very large repsonse to ensure that the index is
written to disk.

Normally, when the FSMonitor response includes a tracked file, the
index is always updated.  Similarly, the index might be updated when
the response alters the untracked-cache (when enabled).  However, in
cases where neither of those cause the index to be considered changed,
the FSMonitor response is wasted.  Subsequent Git commands will make
requests with the same token and receive the same response.

If that response is very large, performance may suffer.  It would be
more efficient to force update the index now (and the token in the
index extension) in order to reduce the size of the response received
by future commands.

This was observed on Windows after a large checkout.  On Windows, the
kernel emits events for the files that are changed as they are
changed.  However, it might delay events for the containing
directories until the system is more idle (or someone scans the
directory (so it seems)).  The first status following a checkout would
get the list of files.  The subsequent status commands would get the
list of directories as the events trickled out.  But they would never
catch up because the token was not advanced because the index wasn't
updated.

This list of directories caused `wt_status_collect_untracked()` to
unnecessarily spend time actually scanning them during each command.

a511adef6d fsmonitor--daemon: use a cookie file to sync with file system
Teach fsmonitor--daemon client threads to create a cookie file
inside the .git directory and then wait until FS events for the
cookie are observed by the FS listener thread.

This helps address the racy nature of file system events by
blocking the client response until the kernel has drained any
event backlog.

This is especially important on MacOS where kernel events are
only issued with a limited frequency.  See the `latency` argument
of `FSeventStreamCreate()`.  The kernel only signals every `latency`
seconds, but does not guarantee that the kernel queue is completely
drained, so we may have to wait more than one interval.  If we
increase the frequency, the system is more likely to drop events.
We avoid these issues by having each client thread create a unique
cookie file and then wait until it is seen in the event stream.

4c1167f149 fsmonitor--daemon: periodically truncate list of modified files
Teach fsmonitor--daemon to periodically truncate the list of
modified files to save some memory.

Clients will ask for the set of changes relative to a token that they
found in the FSMN index extension in the index.  (This token is like a
point in time, but different).  Clients will then update the index to
contain the response token (so that subsequent commands will be
relative to this new token).

Therefore, the daemon can gradually truncate the in-memory list of
changed paths as they become obsolete (older than the previous token).
Since we may have multiple clients making concurrent requests with a
skew of tokens and clients may be racing to the talk to the daemon,
we lazily truncate the list.

We introduce a 5 minute delay and truncate batches 5 minutes after
they are considered obsolete.

2ba3e3537f t/perf: avoid copying builtin fsmonitor files into test repo
Do not copy any of the various fsmonitor--daemon files from the .git
directory of the (GIT_PREF_REPO or GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO) source repo

When perf tests start, they copy the contents of the source repo into
the test's trash directory.  If fsmonitor is running in the source repo,
there may be control files, such as the IPC socket and/or fsmonitor
cookie files.  These should not be copied into the test repo.

Unix domain sockets cannot be copied in the manner used by the test
setup, so if present, the test setup fails.

Cookie files are harmless, but we should avoid them.

The builtin fsmonitor keeps all such control files/sockets in
.git/fsmonitor--daemon*, so it is simple to exclude them.

currently fails with this error:

           |      ^~~~~

The underlying reason is that GCC (rightfully) objects that an `enum`
value such as `kAuthorizationExternalFormLength` is not a constant
(because it is not, the preprocessor has no knowledge of it, only the
actual C compiler does) and can therefore not be used to define the size
of a C array.

This is a known problem and tracked in GCC's bug tracker:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=93082

In the meantime, let's not block things and go the slightly ugly route
of declaring/defining the FSEvents constants, data structures and
functions that we need, so that we can avoid above-mentioned issue.

Let's do this _only_ for GCC, though, so that the CI/PR builds (which
build both with clang and with GCC) can guarantee that we _are_ using
the correct data types.

f54b4a4d15 fsmonitor--daemon: create token-based changed path cache
Teach fsmonitor--daemon to build a list of changed paths and associate
them with a token-id.  This will be used by the platform-specific
backends to accumulate changed paths in response to filesystem events.

The platform-specific file system listener thread receives file system
events containing one or more changed pathnames (with whatever bucketing
or grouping that is convenient for the file system).  These paths are
accumulated (without locking) by the file system layer into a `fsmonitor_batch`.

When the file system layer has drained the kernel event queue, it will
"publish" them to our token queue and make them visible to concurrent
client worker threads.  The token layer is free to combine and/or de-dup
paths within these batches for efficient presentation to clients.

64971b4d86 fsmonitor--daemon: add pathname classification
Teach fsmonitor--daemon to classify relative and absolute
pathnames and decide how they should be handled.  This will
be used by the platform-specific backend to respond to each
filesystem event.

When we register for filesystem notifications on a directory,
we get events for everything (recursively) in the directory.
We want to report to clients changes to tracked and untracked
paths within the working directory.  We do not want to report
changes within the .git directory, for example.

This classification will be used in a later commit by the
different backends to classify paths as events are received.
