      archive/tar: improve package documentation · bad6b6fa
      Joe Tsai authored
      Many aspects of the package is woefully undocumented.
      With the recent flurry of improvements, the package is now at feature
      parity with the GNU and TAR tools. Thoroughly all of the public API
      and perform some minor stylistic cleanup in some code segments.

      archive/tar: add raw support for global PAX records · 19a99594
      Joe Tsai authored
      The PAX specification says the following:
      <<<
      'g' represents global extended header records for the following files in the archive.
      The format of these extended header records shall be as described in pax Extended Header.
      Each value shall affect all subsequent files that do not override that value
      in their own extended header record and until another global extended header record
      is reached that provides another value for the same field.
      >>>
      
      This CL adds support for parsing and composing global PAX records,
      but intentionally does not provide support for automatically
      persisting the global state across files.
      
      Changes made:
      * When Reader encounters a TypeXGlobalRecord header, it parses the
      PAX records and returns them to the user ad-verbatim. Reader does not
      store them in its state, ensuring it has no effect on future Next calls.
      * When Writer receives a TypeXGlobalRecord header, it writes the
      PAX records to the archive ad-verbatim. It does not store them in
      its state, ensuring it has no effect on future WriteHeader calls.
      * The restriction regarding empty record values is lifted since this
      value is used to represent deletion in global headers.
      
      Why provide raw support only:
      * Some archives in the wild have a global header section (often empty)
      and it is the user's responsibility to manually read and discard it's body.
      The logic added here allows users to more easily skip over these sections.
      * For users that do care about global headers, having access to the raw
      records allows them to implement the functionality of global headers themselves
      and manually persist the global state across files.
      * We can still upgrade to a full implementation in the future.
      
      Why we don't provide full support:
      * Even though the PAX specification describes their operation in detail,
      both the GNU and BSD tar tools (which are the most common implementations)
      do not have a consistent interpretation of many details.
      * Global headers were a controversial feature in PAX, by admission of the
      specification itself:
        <<<
        The concept of a global extended header (typeflag g) was controversial.
      
        The typeflag g global headers should not be used with interchange media that
        could suffer partial data loss in transporting the archive.
        >>>
      * Having state persist from entry-to-entry complicates the implementation
      for a feature that is not widely used and not well supported.

      testing: error if -parallel is given N<1 · 86dde2de
      Daniel Martí authored
      Otherwise, if there are any parallel tests, it will hang and panic with
      "all goroutines are asleep - deadlock!".
      
      Do not use flag.Uint to handle the error for us because we also want to
      error on N==0, and because it would make setting the default to
      GOMAXPROCS(0) more difficult, since it's an int.
      
      Check for it right after flag.Parse, and mimic flag errors by printing
      the usage and returning exit code 2.
      
      Fixes #20542.

      testing: ensure profiles are written upon -timeout panic · 7e455b62
      Meir Fischer authored
      This addresses the case of a -timeout panic, but not the more
      general case of a signal arriving. See CL 48370 and CL 44352
      for recent difficulties in that area.
      
      "-timeout" here means flag usage to distinguish from the
      default timeout termination which uses signals.
      
      Fixes #19394
