If you are using autoconf and change the configure.ac, the
Makefile will notice that config.status is older than
configure.ac, and will attempt to rebuild and re-run the
configure script to pick up your changes. The first step in
doing so is to run "make configure". Unfortunately, this
tries to include config.mak.autogen, which depends on
config.status, which depends on configure.ac; so we must
rebuild config.status. Which leads to us running "make
configure", and so on.
It's easy to demonstrate with:
make configure
./configure
touch configure.ac
make
We can break this cycle by not re-invoking make to build
"configure", and instead just putting its rules inline into
our config.status rebuild procedure. We can avoid a copy by
factoring the rules into a make variable.

Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a
static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary
binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine
in practice, because:
1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref
name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000
characters.
2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself
to 1000 byte packets.
However, the only limit given in the protocol specification
in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is
LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in
pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write,
not as a specific limit for readers.
This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to
LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a
packet where this makes a difference, there are two good
reasons to do this:
1. Other git implementations may have followed
protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We
don't bump into it in practice because it would involve
very long ref names.
2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day.
Since packets are transferred before any capabilities,
it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible
way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can
handle, eventually older versions of git will be
obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the
writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this
anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the
clock ticking now.
Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX
would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read
into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single
static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap
this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just
use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the
static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the
remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX
buffers.

The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated
by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is
short, we end up doing it in a lot of places.
This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the
trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline
chomping code.
As a result, some call-sites which are not reading
line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles
alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to
the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all
of the existing callsites.
Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not
change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of
new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently
introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later
patch in this series will change the signature, such a
commit would have to be merged directly into this commit,
not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the
issue.
This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of
behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner
case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been
able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000")
and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line
to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically,
even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says
we must not; it also says that implementations should not
send an empty pkt-line.
By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the
caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n")
the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like
a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither
empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols
(at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who
are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling
packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to
care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this
patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating
empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not
make doing so any harder.

Originally we had a single function for reading packetized
data: packet_read_line. Commit 46284dd grew a more "gentle"
form, packet_read, that returns an error instead of dying
upon reading a truncated input stream. However, it is not
clear from the names which should be called, or what the
difference is.
Let's instead make packet_read be a generic public interface
that can take option flags, and update the single callsite
that uses it. This is less code, more clear, and paves the
way for introducing more options into the generic interface
later. The function signature is changed, so there should be
no hidden conflicts with topics in flight.
While we're at it, we'll document how error conditions are
handled based on the options, and rename the confusing
"return_line_fail" option to "gentle_on_eof". While we are
cleaning up the names, we can drop the "return_line_fail"
checks in packet_read_internal entirely. They look like
this:
ret = safe_read(..., return_line_fail);
if (return_line_fail && ret < 0)
...
The check for return_line_fail is a no-op; safe_read will
only ever return an error value if return_line_fail was true
in the first place.

The write_or_die function will always die on an error,
including EPIPE. However, it currently treats EPIPE
specially by suppressing any error message, and by exiting
with exit code 0.
Suppressing the error message makes some sense; a pipe death
may just be a sign that the other side is not interested in
what we have to say. However, exiting with a successful
error code is not a good idea, as write_or_die is frequently
used in cases where we want to be careful about having
written all of the output, and we may need to signal to our
caller that we have done so (e.g., you would not want a push
whose other end has hung up to report success).
This distinction doesn't typically matter in git, because we
do not ignore SIGPIPE in the first place. Which means that
we will not get EPIPE, but instead will just die when we get
a SIGPIPE. But it's possible for a default handler to be set
by a parent process, or for us to add a callsite inside one
of our few SIGPIPE-ignoring blocks of code.
This patch converts write_or_die to actually raise SIGPIPE
when we see EPIPE, rather than exiting with zero. This
brings the behavior in line with the "normal" case that we
die from SIGPIPE (and any callers who want to check why we
died will see the same thing). We also give the same
treatment to other related functions, including
write_or_whine_pipe and maybe_flush_or_die.

The current parsing scheme for upload-archive is to pack
arguments into a fixed-size buffer, separated by NULs, and
put a pointer to each argument in the buffer into a
fixed-size argv array.
This works fine, and the limits are high enough that nobody
reasonable is going to hit them, but it makes the code hard
to follow. Instead, let's just stuff the arguments into an
argv_array, which is much simpler. That lifts the "all
arguments must fit inside 4K together" limit.
We could also trivially lift the MAX_ARGS limitation (in
fact, we have to keep extra code to enforce it). But that
would mean a client could force us to allocate an arbitrary
amount of memory simply by sending us "argument" lines. By
limiting the MAX_ARGS, we limit an attacker to about 4
megabytes (64 times a maximum 64K packet buffer). That may
sound like a lot compared to the 4K limit, but it's not a
big deal compared to what git-archive will actually allocate
while working (e.g., to load blobs into memory). The
important thing is that it is bounded.

This code predates prefixcmp, so it used memcmp along with
static sizes. Replacing these memcmps with prefixcmp makes
the code much more readable, and the lack of static sizes
will make refactoring it in future patches simpler.
Note that we used to be unnecessarily liberal in parsing the
"unpack" status line, and would accept "unpack ok\njunk". No
version of git has ever produced that, and it violates the
BNF in Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt. Let's take
this opportunity to tighten the check by converting the
prefix comparison into a strcmp.

When we read acks from the remote, we expect either:
ACK <sha1>
or
ACK <sha1> <multi-ack-flag>
We parse the "ACK <sha1>" bit from the line, and then start
looking for the flag strings at "line+45"; if we don't have
them, we assume it's of the first type. But if we do have
the first type, then line+45 is not necessarily inside our
string at all!
It turns out that this works most of the time due to the way
we parse the packets. They should come in with a newline,
and packet_read puts an extra NUL into the buffer, so we end
up with:
ACK <sha1>\n\0
with the newline at offset 44 and the NUL at offset 45. We
then strip the newline, putting a NUL at offset 44. So
when we look at "line+45", we are looking past the end of
our string; but it's OK, because we hit the terminator from
the original string.
This breaks down, however, if the other side does not
terminate their packets with a newline. In that case, our
packet is one character shorter, and we start looking
through uninitialized memory for the flag. No known
implementation sends such a packet, so it has never come up
in practice.
This patch tightens the check by looking for a short,
flagless ACK before trying to parse the flag.

When the client tells us it has a shallow object via
"shallow <sha1>", we make sure we have the object, mark it
with a flag, then add it to a dynamic array of shallow
objects. This means that a client can get us to allocate
arbitrary amounts of memory just by flooding us with shallow
lines (whether they have the objects or not). You can
demonstrate it easily with:
yes '0035shallow e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290' |
git-upload-pack git.git
We already protect against duplicates in want lines by
checking if our flag is already set; let's do the same thing
here. Note that a client can still get us to allocate some
amount of memory by marking every object in the repo as
"shallow" (or "want"). But this at least bounds it with the
number of objects in the repository, which is not under the
control of an upload-pack client.

When we receive a line like "shallow <sha1>" from the
client, we feed the <sha1> part to get_sha1. This is a
mistake, as the argument on a shallow line is defined by
Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt to contain an
"obj-id". This is never defined in the BNF, but it is clear
from the text and from the other uses that it is meant to be
a hex sha1, not an arbitrary identifier (and that is what
fetch-pack has always sent).
We should be using get_sha1_hex instead, which doesn't allow
the client to request arbitrary junk like "HEAD@{yesterday}".
Because this is just marking shallow objects, the client
couldn't actually do anything interesting (like fetching
objects from unreachable reflog entries), but we should keep
our parsing tight to be on the safe side.
Because get_sha1 is for the most part a superset of
get_sha1_hex, in theory the only behavior change should be
disallowing non-hex object references. However, there is
one interesting exception: get_sha1 will only parse
a 40-character hex sha1 if the string has exactly 40
characters, whereas get_sha1_hex will just eat the first 40
characters, leaving the rest. That means that current
versions of git-upload-pack will not accept a "shallow"
packet that has a trailing newline, even though the protocol
documentation is clear that newlines are allowed (even
encouraged) in non-binary parts of the protocol.
This never mattered in practice, though, because fetch-pack,
contrary to the protocol documentation, does not include a
newline in its shallow lines. JGit follows its lead (though
it correctly is strict on the parsing end about wanting a
hex object id).
We do not adjust fetch-pack to send newlines here, as it
would break communication with older versions of git (and
there is no actual benefit to doing so, except for
consistency with other parts of the protocol).

no, if only because there is currently no way to specify such an

This test attempts to verify that a commit message supplied to 'git

commit when --cleanup=verbatim was used.
But, this test has been broken since it was introduced. Since the
commit message containing trailing newlines was supplied to 'git commit'
using a command substitution, the trailing newlines were removed by the
shell. This means that a string without any trailing newlines was
actually supplied to 'git commit'.
The test was able to complete successfully since internally, git appends
two newlines to each string supplied via the -m switch. So, the two
newlines removed by the shell were then re-added by git, and the
resulting commit matched what was expected.
So, let's move the initial creation of the commit message string out
from within a previous test so that it stands alone. Assign the desired
commit message to a variable using literal newlines. Then populate the
expect file from the contents of the commit message variable. This way
the shell variable becomes the authoritative source of the commit
message and can be supplied via the -m switch with the trailing newlines
intact.
Mark this test as failing, since it is not handled correctly by git.
