Bring together all of the OpenSSL initialization to
git_threads_init() so it's together and doesn't need locks.
Moving it here also gives us libssh2 thread safety (when built against
openssl).
The OpenSSL init functions are not reentrant, which means that running
multiple fetches in parallel can cause us to crash.
Use a mutex to init OpenSSL, and since we're adding this extra checks,
init it only once.
Increasingly there are a number of components that want to do some
cleanup at global shutdown time (at least if there are not going
to be memory leaks). This creates a very simple system of shutdown
hooks that will be invoked by git_threads_shutdown. Right now, the
maximum number of hooks is hardcoded, but since adding a hook is
not a public API, it should be fine and I thought it was better to
start off with really simple code.
This removes the lock from the repository object and changes the
internals to use the new atomic git__compare_and_swap to update
the _odb, _config, _index, and _refdb variables in a threadsafe
manner.
Up to now, the idea was that the user would do all the operations for
one repository in the same thread. Thus we could have the
memory-mapped window information thread-local and avoid any locking.
This is not practical in a few environments, such as Apple's GCD which
allocates threads arbitrarily or the .NET CLR, where the OS-level
thread can change at any moment.
Make the control structure global and protect it with a mutex so we
don't depend on the thread currently executing the code.
See `global.c` for a description of what we're doing.
When libgit2 is built with GIT_THREADS support, the threading system
must be explicitly initialized with `git_threads_init()`.
