Prior to this fix, the wait command used waitpid() directly. Switch it to
calling process_mark_finished_children() along with the rest of the job
machinery. This centralizes the waitpid call to a single location.
In fish we play fast and loose with status codes as set directly (e.g. on
failed redirections), vs status codes returned from waitpid(), versus the
value $status. Introduce a new value type proc_status_t to encapsulate
this logic.
This introduces "internal processes" which are backed by a pthread instead
of a normal process. Internal processes are reaped using the topic
machinery, plugging in neatly alongside the sigchld topic; this means that
process_mark_finished_children() can wait for internal and external
processes simultaneously.
Initially internal processes replace the forked process that fish uses to
write out the output of blocks and functions.
The sigchld generation expresses the idea that, if we receive a sigchld
signal, the generation will be different than when we last recorded it. A
process cannot exit before it has launched, so check the generation count
before process launch. This is an optimization that reduces failing
waitpid calls.
This is a big change to how process reaping works, reimplenting it using
topics. The idea is to simplify the logic in
process_mark_finished_children around blocking, and also prepare for
"internal processes" which do not correspond to real processes.
Before this change, fish would use waitpid() to wait for a process group,
OR would individually poll processes if the process group leader was
unreapable.
After this change, fish no longer ever calls blocking waitpid(). Instead
fish uses the topic mechanism. For each reapable process, fish checks if
it has received a SIGCHLD since last poll; if not it waits until the next
SIGCHLD, and then polls them all.
This reverts commit 54050bd4c5.
Type job_list_t was changed from a list to a deque in
commit 54050bd4c5.
In process_clean_after_marking(), we remove jobs while iterating.
dequeues do not support that. Make it a list again.
Now jobs are aware of their parent jobs, and can interrogate those jobs,
to determine if every job in the chain is fully constructed.
Remove flags and the static stacks that manipulated them.
The parent of a job is the parent pipeline that executed the function or
block corresponding to this job. This will help simplify
process_mark_finished_children().
select_try() returned IO_ERROR to indicate that there's no file descriptors
from which to read. Name this return value properly.
Also migrate this type into proc.cpp since it's not used outside of the
header.
This was introduced in 1b1bc28c0a but did
not cause any problems until the job control refactor, which caused it
to attempt to signal the calling `exec` builtin's own (invalid) pgrp
with SIGHUP.
Also improved debugging for `j->signal()` failures by printing the
signal we tried sending in case of error, rename the function to
`hup_background_jobs`, and move it from `reader.h`/`reader.cpp` to
`proc.h`/`proc.cpp`.
When a function is encountered by exec_job, a new context is created for
its execution from the ground up, with a new job and all, ultimately
resulting in a recursive call to exec_job from the same (main) thread.
Since each time exec_job encounters a new job with external commands
that needs terminal control it creates a new pgrp and gives it control
of the terminal (tcsetpgrp & co), this effectively takes control away
from the previously spawned external commands which may be (and likely
are) expecting to still have terminal access.
This commit attempts to detect when such a situation arises by handling
recursive calls to exec_job (which can only happen if the pipeline
included a function) by borrowing the pgrp from the (necessarily still
active) parent job and spawning new external commands into it.
When a parent job spawns new jobs due to the evaluation of a new
function (which shouldn't be the case in the first place), we end up
with two distinct jobs sharing one pgrp (to fix#3952). This can lead to
early termination of a pgrp if finished parent job children are reaped
before future processes in either the parent or future child jobs can
join it.
While the parent job is under construction, require that waitpid(2)
calls for the child job be done by process id and not job pgrp.
Closes#3952.
Convert `select_try()` to return a well-defined enum describing its
state, and handle each of the three possible cases with clear reasons
why we are blocking or not blocking in each subsequent call to
`process_mark_finished_children()`.
* Use the newly-introduced signal_block_t RAII wrapper
* Remove EINTR loops as all signals are blocked
* Clean up control flow thanks to RAII wrappers
* Rename parameter to clarify what it does and update docs accordingly
* Update outdated comments referencing SIGSTOP code that was removed a
long time ago.
* Remove no-op CHECK_BLOCK() call
* Convert JOB_* enums to scoped enums
* Convert standalone job_is_* functions to member functions
* Convert standalone job_{promote, signal, continue} to member functions
* Convert standolen job_get{,_from_pid} to `job_t` static functions
* Reduce usage of JOB_* enums outside of proc.cpp by using new
`job_t::is_foo()` const helper methods instead.
This patch is only a refactor and should not change any functionality or
behavior (both observed and unobserved).
* Debug level 3: describe all commands being executed (this is, after all,
a shell and one can argue that this is the most important debug
information avaliable)
* Debug level 4: details of execution, mainly fork vs no-fork and io
handling
Also introduced j->preview() to print a short descriptor of the job
based on the head of the first process so we don't overwhelm with
needless repitition, but also so that we don't have to rely on
distinguishing between repeated, non-unique/non-monotonic job ids that
are often recycled within a single "execution cycle" (pressing enter
once).
We never insert elements into the middle of a job list, only move
elements to the top. While that can be done "efficiently" with a list, it
can be done faster with a deque, which also won't thrash the cache when
enumerating over jobs.
This speeds up enumeration in the critical path in
`process_mark_finished_children()`.
Fix#5133 changed builtins to acquire the terminal, but this regressed
caused fish to be stopped when running in background via `sudo fish`.
Fix this by only acquiring the terminal if the terminal was owned by the
builtin's pgroup.
Fixes#5147
When running a builtin, if we are an interactive shell and stdin is a tty,
then acquire ownership of the terminal via tcgetpgrp() before running the
builtin, and set it back after.
Fixes#4540
This switches function execution from the function's source code to
its stored node and pstree. This means we no longer have to re-parse
the function every time we execute it.
This concerns block nodes with redirections, like
begin ... end | grep ...
Prior to this fix, we passed in a pointer to the node. Switch to passing
in the tnode and parsed source ref. This improves type safety and better
aligns with the function-node plans.
There is no more race condition between parent and child with
regards to setting the process groups. Each child sets it for themselves
and then blocks indefinitely until the parent does what it needs to for
them (having waited for them to set their process groups). They are not
SIGCONT'd until the next process in the chain (if any) starts so that
that process can join their process group and open the pipes.
This implements `status is-breakpoint` that returns true if the current
shell prompt is displayed in the context of a `breakpoint` command.
This also fixes several bugs. Most notably making `breakpoint` a no-op if
the shell isn't interactive. Also, typing `breakpoint` at an interactive
prompt should be an error rather than creating a new nested debugging
context.
Partial fix for #1310
