grep: stop using a custom JIT stack with PCRE v1
Simplify the PCRE v1 code for the same reasons as for the PCRE v2 code
in the last commit. Unlike with v2 we actually used the custom stack
in v1, but let's use PCRE's built-in 32 KB one instead, since
experience with v2 shows that's enough. Most distros are already using
v2 as a default, and the underlying sljit code is the same.
Unfortunately we can't just pass a NULL to pcre_jit_exec() as with
pcre2_jit_match(). Unlike the v2 function it doesn't support
that. Instead we need to use the fatter pcre_exec() if we'd like the
same behavior.
This will make things slightly slower than on the fast-path function,
but it's OK since we care less about v1 performance these days since
we have and recommend v2. Running a similar performance test as what I
ran in fbaceaac47 ("grep: add support for the PCRE v1 JIT API",
2017-05-25) via:
GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=30 GIT_PERF_LARGE_REPO=~/g/linux GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS='-j8 USE_LIBPCRE1=Y CFLAGS=-O3 LIBPCREDIR=/home/avar/g/pcre/inst' ./run HEAD~ HEAD p7820-grep-engines.sh
Gives us this, just the /perl/ results:
Test HEAD~ HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7820.3: perl grep 'how.to' 0.19(0.67+0.52) 0.19(0.65+0.52) +0.0%
7820.7: perl grep '^how to' 0.19(0.78+0.44) 0.19(0.72+0.49) +0.0%
7820.11: perl grep '[how] to' 0.39(2.13+0.43) 0.40(2.10+0.46) +2.6%
7820.15: perl grep '(e.t[^ ]*|v.ry) rare' 0.44(2.55+0.37) 0.45(2.47+0.41) +2.3%
7820.19: perl grep 'm(ú|u)lt.b(æ|y)te' 0.23(1.06+0.42) 0.22(1.03+0.43) -4.3%
It will also implicitly re-enable UTF-8 validation for PCRE v1. As
noted in [1] we now have cases as a result where PCRE v1 is more eager
to error out. Subsequent patches will fix that for v2, and I think
it's fair to tell v1 users "just upgrade" and not worry about that
edge case for v1.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
