[PATCH v2] fsmonitor: implement filesystem change listener for Linux

["Paul Tarjan via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Paul Tarjan <github@paulisageek.com>

Implement fsmonitor for Linux using the inotify API, bringing it to
feature parity with existing Windows and macOS implementations.

The Linux implementation uses inotify to monitor filesystem events.
Unlike macOS's FSEvents which can watch a single root directory,
inotify requires registering watches on every directory of interest.
The implementation carefully handles directory renames and moves
using inotify's cookie mechanism to track IN_MOVED_FROM/IN_MOVED_TO
event pairs.

Key implementation details:
- Uses inotify_init1(O_NONBLOCK) for non-blocking event monitoring
- Maintains bidirectional hashmaps between watch descriptors and paths
  for efficient event processing
- Handles directory creation, deletion, and renames dynamically
- Detects remote filesystems (NFS, CIFS, SMB, etc.) via statfs()
- Falls back to $HOME/.git-fsmonitor-* for socket when .git is remote
- Creates batches lazily (only for actual file events, not cookies)
  to avoid spurious sequence number increments

Build configuration:
- Enabled via FSMONITOR_DAEMON_BACKEND=linux and FSMONITOR_OS_SETTINGS=linux
- Requires NO_PTHREADS and NO_UNIX_SOCKETS to be unset
- Adds HAVE_LINUX_MAGIC_H for filesystem type detection

Documentation updated to note that fsmonitor.socketDir is now supported
on both Mac OS and Linux, and adds a section about inotify watch limits.

Testing performed:
- Build succeeds with standard flags and SANITIZE=address
- All t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh tests pass on local filesystems
- Remote filesystem detection correctly rejects network mounts

Issues addressed from PR #1352 (git/git) review comments:
- GPLv3 ME_REMOTE macro: Rewrote remote filesystem detection from
  scratch using statfs() and linux/magic.h constants (no GPLv3 code)
- Memory leak on inotify_init1 failure: Added FREE_AND_NULL cleanup
- Unsafe hashmap iteration in dtor: Collect entries first, then modify
- Missing null checks in stop_async: Added proper guard conditions
- dirname() modifying argument: Create copy with xstrdup() first
- Non-portable f_fsid.__val: Use memcmp() for fsid comparison
- Missing worktree null check: Added BUG() for null worktree
- Header updates: Use git-compat-util.h, hash_to_hex_algop()
- Code style: Use xstrdup() not xmemdupz(), proper pointer style

Issues addressed from PR #1667 (git/git) review comments:
- EINTR handling: read() now handles both EAGAIN and EINTR
- Trailing pipe in log_mask_set: Added strbuf_strip_suffix()
- Unchecked add_watch return: Now logs failure in rename_dir()
- String building: Consolidated strbuf operations with strbuf_addf()
- Translation markers: Added _() to all error_errno() messages

Based on work from https://github.com/git/git/pull/1352 by Eric DeCosta,
and https://github.com/git/git/pull/1667 by Marziyeh Esipreh, updated
to work with the current codebase and address all review feedback.

    fsmonitor: implement filesystem change listener for Linux
    
    Implement fsmonitor for Linux using the inotify API, bringing it to
    feature parity with existing Windows and macOS implementations.
    
    The Linux implementation uses inotify to monitor filesystem events.
    Unlike macOS's FSEvents which can watch a single root directory, inotify
    requires registering watches on every directory of interest. The
    implementation carefully handles directory renames and moves using
    inotify's cookie mechanism to track IN_MOVED_FROM/IN_MOVED_TO event
    pairs.
    
    Key implementation details:
    
     * Uses inotify_init1(O_NONBLOCK) for non-blocking event monitoring
     * Maintains bidirectional hashmaps between watch descriptors and paths
       for efficient event processing
     * Handles directory creation, deletion, and renames dynamically
     * Detects remote filesystems (NFS, CIFS, SMB, etc.) via statfs()
     * Falls back to $HOME/.git-fsmonitor-* for socket when .git is remote
    
    Build configuration:
    
     * Enabled via FSMONITOR_DAEMON_BACKEND=linux and
       FSMONITOR_OS_SETTINGS=linux
     * Requires NO_PTHREADS and NO_UNIX_SOCKETS to be unset
     * Adds HAVE_LINUX_MAGIC_H for filesystem type detection
    
    Documentation updated to note that fsmonitor.socketDir is now supported
    on both Mac OS and Linux, and adds a section about inotify watch limits.
    
    Testing performed:
    
     * Build succeeds with standard flags (NO_CURL, NO_GETTEXT, NO_TCLTK)
     * Build succeeds with SANITIZE=address (AddressSanitizer)
     * General tests pass (t0001-init, t3200-branch, etc.)
     * fsmonitor tests require local filesystem (v9fs test environment is
       correctly detected as remote and rejected)
     * Manual testing confirms daemon starts and monitors filesystem when
       configured with fsmonitor.allowremote=true and fsmonitor.socketdir
       pointing to a local filesystem (tmpfs)
    
    Issues addressed from PR #1352 (git/git) review comments:
    
     * GPLv3 ME_REMOTE macro: Rewrote remote filesystem detection from
       scratch using statfs() and linux/magic.h constants (no GPLv3 code)

    Based on work from https://github.com/git/git/pull/1352 by Eric DeCosta,
    and https://github.com/git/git/pull/1667 by Marziyeh Esipreh, updated to
    work with the current codebase and address all review feedback.
    
    Changes since v1:
    
     * Fixed memory leak in builtin/fsmonitor--daemon.c: Added
       hashmap_clear(&state.cookies) in the cleanup section of
       fsmonitor_run_daemon() to free the cookies hashmap that was
       initialized but never released. This fixes the 512-byte leak detected
       by LeakSanitizer.
     * Removed 9p (Plan 9) from remote filesystem list in
       compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-linux.c: Removed V9FS_MAGIC from
       is_remote_fs() because inotify works correctly on 9p filesystems.
       This was incorrectly preventing fsmonitor from running in 9p-based
       container environments where inotify is fully functional.

+LINUX CAVEATS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+On Linux, the fsmonitor daemon uses inotify to monitor filesystem events.
+The inotify system has per-user limits on the number of watches that can
+be created.  The default limit is typically 8192 watches per user.
+
+For large repositories with many directories, you may need to increase
+this limit.  Check the current limit with:
+
+    cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
+
+To temporarily increase the limit:
+
+    sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=65536
+
+To make the change permanent, add to `/etc/sysctl.conf`:
+
+    fs.inotify.max_user_watches=65536
