The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the
requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write
before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial
value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really
write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11).
So checking anything except "was the return value negative"
is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do
so:
1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your
"len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will
promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant.
This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were
trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a
bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed
recently in config.c).
We should avoid promoting the mental model that you
need to check the length at all, so that new sites are
not tempted to copy us.
2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type,
especially when the length is an expression.
3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full()
users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full()
semantics were changed, he wrote:
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just
check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and
stupid ones.
Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that
writing it this way does not have an intentional
benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never
bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly
cargo-culted into new sites).
So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this
includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for
write_in_full()).
[1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that
write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask
write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is
_larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But
besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken
version of write(), it would already invoke undefined
behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned
size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will
wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly
begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write
gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

Simplify the code for moving members inside of an array and make it more
robust by using the helper macro MOVE_ARRAY. It calculates the size
based on the specified number of elements for us and supports NULL
pointers when that number is zero. Raw memmove(3) calls with NULL can
cause the compiler to (over-eagerly) optimize out later NULL checks.

read-cache: use shared perms when writing shared index
Since f6ecc62dbf (write_shared_index(): use tempfile module, 2015-08-10)
write_shared_index() has been using mks_tempfile() to create the
temporary file that will become the shared index.
But even before that, it looks like the functions used to create this
file didn't call adjust_shared_perm(), which means that the shared
index file has always been created with 600 permissions regardless
of the shared permission settings.
Because of that, on repositories created with `git init --shared=all`
and using the split index feature, one gets an error like:
fatal: .git/sharedindex.a52f910b489bc462f187ab572ba0086f7b5157de: index file open failed: Permission denied
when another user performs any operation that reads the shared index.
Call adjust_shared_perm() on the temporary file created by
mks_tempfile() ourselves to adjust the permission bits.

When "git checkout", "git merge", etc. manipulates the in-core

discarded from the original state, as it is usually not the case
that they are kept up-to-date and in-sync with the operation on the
main index. The untracked cache extension is copied across these
operations now, which would speed up "git status" (as long as the

Make git checkout (and other unpack_tree operations) preserve the
untracked cache. This is valuable for two reasons:
1. Often, an unpack_tree operation will not touch large parts of the
working tree, and thus most of the untracked cache will continue to be
valid.
2. Even if the untracked cache were entirely invalidated by such an
operation, the user has signaled their intention to have such a cache,
and we don't want to throw it away.

cache-tree: reject entries with null sha1
When split-index is being used, we have two cache_entry arrays in
index_state->cache[] and index_state->split_index->base->cache[].
index_state->cache[] may share the same entries with base->cache[] so
we can quickly determine what entries are shared. This makes memory
management tricky, we can't free base->cache[] until we know
index_state->cache[] does not point to any of those entries.
unshare_split_index() is added for this purpose, to find shared
entries and either duplicate them in index_state->cache[], or discard
them. Either way it should be safe to free base->cache[] after
unshare_split_index().

We generally disallow null sha1s from entering the index,
due to 4337b5856 (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index,
2012-07-28). However, we loosened that in 83bd7437c
(write_index: optionally allow broken null sha1s,
2013-08-27) so that tools like filter-branch could be used
to repair broken history.
However, we should make sure that these broken entries do
not get propagated into new trees. For most entries, we'd
catch them with the missing-object check (since presumably
the null sha1 does not exist in our object database). But
gitlink entries do not need reachability, so we may blindly
copy the entry into a bogus tree.
This patch rejects all null sha1s (with the same "invalid
entry" message that missing objects get) when building trees
from the index. It does so even for non-gitlinks, and even
when "write-tree" is given the --missing-ok flag. The null
sha1 is a special sentinel value that is already rejected in
trees by fsck; whether the object exists or not, it is an
error to put it in a tree.
Note that for this to work, we must also avoid reusing an
existing cache-tree that contains the null sha1. This patch
does so by just refusing to write out any cache tree when
the index contains a null sha1. This is blunter than we need
to be; we could just reject the subtree that contains the
offending entry. But it's not worth the complexity. The
behavior is unchanged unless you have a broken index entry,
and even then we'd refuse the whole index write unless the
emergency GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 is in use. And even then the
end result is only a performance drop (any write-tree will
have to generate the whole cache-tree from scratch).
The tests bear some explanation.
The existing test in t7009 doesn't catch this problem,
because our index-filter runs "git rm --cached", which will
try to rewrite the updated index and barf on the bogus
entry. So we never even make it to write-tree. The new test
there adds a noop index-filter, which does show the problem.
The new tests in t1601 are slightly redundant with what
filter-branch is doing under the hood in t7009. But as
they're much more direct, they're easier to reason about.
And should filter-branch ever change or go away, we'd want
to make sure that these plumbing commands behave sanely.

When writing a new split-index and there is a big number of cache
entries in the split-index compared to the shared index, it is a
good idea to regenerate the shared index.
By default when the ratio reaches 20%, we will push back all
the entries from the split-index into a new shared index file
instead of just creating a new split-index file.
The threshold can be configured using the
"splitIndex.maxPercentChange" config variable.
We need to adjust the existing tests in t1700 by setting
"splitIndex.maxPercentChange" to 100 at the beginning of t1700,

Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0:
- diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an

just before the program exits and nobody should care.
- builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(),
builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(),
sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic
updates and they are OK.
- builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront
but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the
entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to
issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose
and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK.
- wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks
silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with
callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it
is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.
The way we structured the fallback/retry mechanism for opening with
O_NOATIME and O_CLOEXEC meant that if we failed due to lack of
support to open the file with O_NOATIME option (i.e. EINVAL), we
would still try to drop O_CLOEXEC first and retry, and then drop
O_NOATIME. A platform on which O_NOATIME is defined in the header
without support from the kernel wouldn't have a chance to open with
O_CLOEXEC option due to this code structure.
Arguably, O_CLOEXEC is more important than O_NOATIME, as the latter
is mostly about performance, while the former can affect correctness.
Instead use O_CLOEXEC to open the file, and then use fcntl(2) to set
O_NOATIME on the resulting file descriptor. open(2) itself does not
cause atime to be updated according to Linus [*1*].
The helper to do the former can be usable in the codepath in
ce_compare_data() that was recently added to open a file descriptor
with O_CLOEXEC; use it while we are at it.

This fixes "convert: add filter.<driver>.process option" (edcc8581) on
Windows.
Consider the case of a file that requires filtering and is present in
branch A but not in branch B. If A is the current HEAD and we checkout B
then the following happens:
1. ce_compare_data() opens the file
2. index_fd() detects that the file requires to run a clean filter and
calls index_stream_convert_blob()
4. index_stream_convert_blob() calls convert_to_git_filter_fd()
5. convert_to_git_filter_fd() calls apply_filter() which creates a
new long running filter process (in case it is the first file
of this kind to be filtered)
6. The new filter process inherits all file handles. This is the
default on Linux/OSX and is explicitly defined in the
`CreateProcessW` call in `mingw.c` on Windows.
7. ce_compare_data() closes the file
8. Git unlinks the file as it is not present in B
The unlink operation does not work on Windows because the filter process
has still an open handle to the file. On Linux/OSX the unlink operation
succeeds but the file descriptors still leak into the child process.
Fix this problem by opening files in read-cache with the O_CLOEXEC flag
to ensure that the file descriptor does not remain open in a newly
spawned process similar to 05d1ed6148 ("mingw: ensure temporary file
handles are not inherited by child processes", 2016-08-22).

"git add --chmod=+x <pathspec>" added recently only toggled the
executable bit for paths that are either new or modified. This has
been corrected to flip the executable bit for all paths that match
the given pathspec.
* tg/add-chmod+x-fix:
t3700-add: do not check working tree file mode without POSIXPERM
t3700-add: create subdirectory gently
add: modify already added files when --chmod is given
read-cache: introduce chmod_index_entry
update-index: add test for chmod flags
When the chmod option was added to git add, it was hooked up to the diff
machinery, meaning that it only works when the version in the index
differs from the version on disk.
As the option was supposed to mirror the chmod option in update-index,
which always changes the mode in the index, regardless of the status of
the file, make sure the option behaves the same way in git add.

As there are chmod options for both add and update-index, introduce a
new chmod_index_entry function to do the work. Use it in update-index,
while it will be used in add in the next patch.

"git merge" with renormalization did not work well with
merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it
shouldn't.
* jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf:
merge: avoid "safer crlf" during recording of merge results
convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF
When merge_recursive() decides what the correct blob object merge
result for a path should be, it uses update_file_flags() helper
function to write it out to a working tree file and then calls
add_cacheinfo(). The add_cacheinfo() function in turn calls
make_cache_entry() to create a new cache entry to replace the
higher-stage entries for the path that represents the conflict.
The make_cache_entry() function calls refresh_cache_entry() to fill
in the cached stat information. To mark a cache entry as
up-to-date, the data is re-read from the file in the working tree,
and goes through convert_to_git() conversion to be compared with the
blob object name the new cache entry records.
It is important to note that this happens while the higher-stage
entries, which are going to be replaced with the new entry, are
still in the index. Unfortunately, the convert_to_git() conversion
has a misguided "safer crlf" mechanism baked in, and looks at the
existing cache entry for the path to decide how to convert the
contents in the working tree file. If our side (i.e. stage#2)
records a text blob with CRLF in it, even when the system is
configured to record LF in blobs and convert them to CRLF upon
checkout (and back to LF upon checkin), the "safer crlf" mechanism
stops us doing so.
This especially poses a problem during a renormalizing merge, where
the merge result for the path is computed by first "normalizing" the
blobs involved in the merge by using convert_to_working_tree()
followed by convert_to_git() with "safer crlf" disabled. The merge
result that is computed correctly and fed to add_cacheinfo() via
update_file_flags() does _not_ match what refresh_cache_entry() sees
by converting the working tree file via convert_to_git().
We can work this around by not refreshing the new cache entry in
make_cache_entry() called by add_cacheinfo(). After add_cacheinfo()
adds the new entry, we can call refresh_cache_entry() on that,
knowing that addition of this new cache entry would have removed the
stale cache entries that had CRLF in stage #2 that were carried over
before the renormalizing merge started and will not interfere with
the correct recording of the result.
The test update was taken from a series by Torsten Bögershausen
that attempted to fix this with a different approach.

The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be
set) for paths in a repository with `core.filemode` set to false,
though the users may still wish to add files as executable for
compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode`
functionality. For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may
wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on
non-Windows.
Although this can be done with a plumbing command
(`git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add`
command allows users to set a file executable with a command that
they're already familiar with.
