Work around platforms whose open() is reported to return EINTR (it
shouldn't, as we do our signals with SA_RESTART).
* jk/open-returns-eintr:
config.mak.uname: enable OPEN_RETURNS_EINTR for macOS Big Sur
Makefile: add OPEN_RETURNS_EINTR knob
On some platforms, open() reportedly returns EINTR when opening regular
files and we receive a signal (usually SIGALRM from our progress meter).
This shouldn't happen, as open() should be a restartable syscall, and we
specify SA_RESTART when setting up the alarm handler. So it may actually
be a kernel or libc bug for this to happen. But it has been reported on
at least one version of Linux (on a network filesystem):
https://lore.kernel.org/git/c8061cce-71e4-17bd-a56a-a5fed93804da@neanderfunk.de/
as well as on macOS starting with Big Sur even on a regular filesystem.
We can work around it by retrying open() calls that get EINTR, just as
we do for read(), etc. Since we don't ever _want_ to interrupt an open()
call, we can get away with just redefining open, rather than insisting
all callsites use xopen().
We actually do have an xopen() wrapper already (and it even does this
retry, though there's no indication of it being an observed problem back
then; it seems simply to have been lifted from xread(), etc). But it is
used hardly anywhere, and isn't suitable for general use because it will
die() on error. In theory we could combine the two, but it's awkward to
do so because of the variable-args interface of open().
This patch adds a Makefile knob for enabling the workaround. It's not
enabled by default for any platforms in config.mak.uname yet, as we
don't have enough data to decide how common this is (I have not been
able to reproduce on either Linux or Big Sur myself). It may be worth
enabling preemptively anyway, since the cost is pretty low (if we don't
see an EINTR, it's just an extra conditional).
However, note that we must not enable this on Windows. It doesn't do
anything there, and the macro overrides the existing mingw_open()
redirection. I've added a preemptive #undef here in the mingw header
(which is processed first) to just quietly disable it (we could also
make it an #error, but there is little point in being so aggressive).

Some callers of open() would like to use O_NOFOLLOW, but it is not
available on all platforms. Let's abstract this into a helper function
so we can provide system-specific implementations.
Some light web-searching reveals that we might be able to get something
similar on Windows using FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT. I didn't dig into
this further.
For other systems without O_NOFOLLOW or any equivalent, we have two
options for fallback:
- we can just open anyway, following symlinks; this may have security
implications (e.g., following untrusted in-tree symlinks)
- we can determine whether the path is a symlink with lstat().
This is slower (two syscalls instead of one), but that may be
acceptable for infrequent uses like looking up .gitattributes files
(especially because we can get away with a single syscall for the
common case of ENOENT).
It's also racy, but should be sufficient for our needs (we are
worried about in-tree symlinks that we ourselves would have
previously created). We could make it non-racy at the cost of making
it even slower, by doing an fstat() on the opened descriptor and
comparing the dev/ino fields to the original lstat().
This patch implements the lstat() option in its slightly-faster racy
form.

When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to
compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out
from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths. On macOS, $(pwd) and
readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are
usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch. This
has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the
command line arguments.

checkout: fix bug that makes checkout follow symlinks in leading path
Before checking out a file, we have to confirm that all of its leading
components are real existing directories. And to reduce the number of
lstat() calls in this process, we cache the last leading path known to
contain only directories. However, when a path collision occurs (e.g.
when checking out case-sensitive files in case-insensitive file
systems), a cached path might have its file type changed on disk,
leaving the cache on an invalid state. Normally, this doesn't bring
any bad consequences as we usually check out files in index order, and
therefore, by the time the cached path becomes outdated, we no longer
need it anyway (because all files in that directory would have already
been written).
But, there are some users of the checkout machinery that do not always
follow the index order. In particular: checkout-index writes the paths
in the same order that they appear on the CLI (or stdin); and the
delayed checkout feature -- used when a long-running filter process
replies with "status=delayed" -- postpones the checkout of some entries,
thus modifying the checkout order.
When we have to check out an out-of-order entry and the lstat() cache is
invalid (due to a previous path collision), checkout_entry() may end up
using the invalid data and thrusting that the leading components are
real directories when, in reality, they are not. In the best case
scenario, where the directory was replaced by a regular file, the user
will get an error: "fatal: unable to create file 'foo/bar': Not a
directory". But if the directory was replaced by a symlink, checkout
could actually end up following the symlink and writing the file at a
wrong place, even outside the repository. Since delayed checkout is
affected by this bug, it could be used by an attacker to write
arbitrary files during the clone of a maliciously crafted repository.
Some candidate solutions considered were to disable the lstat() cache
during unordered checkouts or sort the entries before passing them to
the checkout machinery. But both ideas include some performance penalty
and they don't future-proof the code against new unordered use cases.
Instead, we now manually reset the lstat cache whenever we successfully
remove a directory. Note: We are not even checking whether the directory
was the same as the lstat cache points to because we might face a
scenario where the paths refer to the same location but differ due to
case folding, precomposed UTF-8 issues, or the presence of `..`
components in the path. Two regression tests, with case-collisions and
utf8-collisions, are also added for both checkout-index and delayed
checkout.
Note: to make the previously mentioned clone attack unfeasible, it would
be sufficient to reset the lstat cache only after the remove_subtree()
call inside checkout_entry(). This is the place where we would remove a
directory whose path collides with the path of another entry that we are
currently trying to check out (possibly a symlink). However, in the
interest of a thorough fix that does not leave Git open to
similar-but-not-identical attack vectors, we decided to intercept
all `rmdir()` calls in one fell swoop.
This addresses CVE-2021-21300.

Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git-test-restore-p/.git/
BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item
Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat
[snip]
The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo.
Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts:
The path to the repo and "the rest", if any.
"The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code.
As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine
"/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the
configuration file .git/config is found.
The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the
pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later.
If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this),
"dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå".
Git commands need to:
(a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode"
(b) precocompose argv[]
(c) precompose the prefix, if there was any
The first commit,
76759c7dff "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode"
addressed (a) and (b).
The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c,
because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written.
Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs.
The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff`
learned (a) and (b) in
commit 90a78b83e0 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv"
Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points
resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in
commit 8e712ef6fc "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places"
The bug report from above shows 2 things:
- more commands need to handle precomposed unicode
- (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs
Solution:
precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into
precompose_argv_prefix().
Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read
into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before.
This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before.
The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff, placed
precompose_argv() into parse-options.c
Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well. Existing precompose
calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we
audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they
can never be reached without going through the new call added to
run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones.
But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these
precompose callsites as they are. Because precompose() is
idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string
safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully
vetting the callflows.
There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix.
Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should
be done in future commits.

We allow variadic macros in the code base, but only if there is fallback
code for platforms that lack it. This leads to some annoyances:
- the code is more complicated because of the fallbacks (e.g.,
trace_printf(), etc, is implemented twice with a set of parallel
wrappers).
- some constructs are just impossible and we've had to live without
them (e.g., a cross between FLEX_ALLOC and xstrfmt)
Since this feature is present in C99, we may be able to start counting
on it being available everywhere. Let's start with a weather balloon
patch to find out.
This patch makes the absolute minimal change by always setting
HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS. If somebody runs into a platform where it's a
problem, they can undo it by commenting out the define. Likewise, if we
have to revert this, it would be quite unlikely to cause conflicts.
Once we feel comfortable that this is the right direction, then we can
start ripping out all the spots that actually look at the flag, and
removing the dead code.

When 15b52a44 (compat-util: type-check parameters of no-op
replacement functions, 2020-08-06) turned a handful of no-op
C-preprocessor macros into static inline functions to give the
callers a better type checking for their parameters, it forgot
to return anything from the stubbed out setitimer() function,
even though the function was defined to return an int just like the
real thing.
Since the original C-preprocessor macro implementation was to just
turn the call to the function an empty statement, we know that the
existing callers do not check the return value from it, and it does
not matter what value we return. But it is safer to pretend that
the call succeeded by returning 0 than making it fail by returning -1
and clobbering errno with some value.

The usage, die, warning, and error routines all work with a function
pointer that takes the message to be reported. We usually just mention
the function's full type inline. But this makes the use of these
pointers hard to read, especially because C's syntax for returning a
function pointer is so awful:
void (*get_error_routine(void))(const char *err, va_list params);
Unless you read it very carefully, this looks like a function pointer
declaration. Let's instead use a single typedef to define a reporting
function, which is the same for all four types.
Note that this also removes the "extern" from these declarations to
match the surrounding functions. They were missed in 554544276a (*.[ch]:

presumably because of the unusual syntax.

When there is no need to run a specific function on certain platforms,
we often #define an empty function to swallow its parameters and
make it into a no-op, e.g.
#define precompose_argv(c,v) /* no-op */
While this guarantees that no unneeded code is generated, it also
discards type and other checks on these parameters, e.g. a new code
written with the argv-array API (diff_args is of type "struct
argv_array" that has .argc and .argv members):
precompose_argv(diff_args.argc, diff_args.argv);
must be updated to use "struct strvec diff_args" with .nr and .v
members, like so:
precompose_argv(diff_args.nr, diff_args.v);
after the argv-array API has been updated to the strvec API.
However, the "no oop" C preprocessor macro is too aggressive to
discard what is unused, and did not catch such a call that was left
unconverted.
Using a "static inline" function whose body is a no-op should still
result in the same binary with decent compilers yet catch such a
reference to a missing field or passing a value of a wrong type.
While at it, I notice that precompute_str() has never been used
anywhere in the code, since it was introduced at 76759c7d (git on
Mac OS and precomposed unicode, 2012-07-08). Instead of turning it
into a static inline, just remove it.

When parsing capabilities for the pack protocol, there are times we'll
want to compare the value of a capability to a NUL-terminated string.
Since the data we're reading will be space-terminated, not
NUL-terminated, we need a function that compares the two strings, but
also checks that they're the same length. Otherwise, if we used strncmp
to compare these strings, we might accidentally accept a parameter that
was a prefix of the expected value.
Add a function, xstrncmpz, that takes a NUL-terminated string and a
non-NUL-terminated string, plus a length, and compares them, ensuring
that they are the same length.

Further work might be needed to ensure 32bit time_t systems (like FreeBSD

On Cygwin, the codepath for POSIX-like systems is taken in
run-command.c::start_command(). The prepare_cmd() helper
function is called to decide if the command needs to be looked
up in the PATH. The logic there is to do the PATH-lookup if
and only if it does not have any slash '/' in it. If this test
passes we end up attempting to run the command by appending the
string after each colon-separated component of PATH.
The Cygwin environment supports both Windows and POSIX style
paths, so both forwardslahes '/' and back slashes '\' can be
used as directory separators for any external program the user
supplies.
Examples for path strings which are being incorrectly searched
for in the PATH instead of being executed as is:
- "C:\Program Files\some-program.exe"
- "a\b\c.exe"
To handle these, the PATH lookup detection logic in prepare_cmd()
is taught to know about this Cygwin quirk, by introducing
has_dir_sep(path) helper function to abstract away the difference
between true POSIX and Cygwin systems.

When creating a directory on Windows whose path ends in a space or a
period (or chains thereof), the Win32 API "helpfully" trims those. For
example, `mkdir("abc ");` will return success, but actually create a
directory called `abc` instead.
This stems back to the DOS days, when all file names had exactly 8
characters plus exactly 3 characters for the file extension, and the
only way to have shorter names was by padding with spaces.
Sadly, this "helpful" behavior is a bit inconsistent: after a successful
`mkdir("abc ");`, a `mkdir("abc /def")` will actually _fail_ (because
the directory `abc ` does not actually exist).
Even if it would work, we now have a serious problem because a Git
repository could contain directories `abc` and `abc `, and on Windows,
they would be "merged" unintentionally.
As these paths are illegal on Windows, anyway, let's disallow any
accesses to such paths on that Operating System.
For practical reasons, this behavior is still guarded by the
config setting `core.protectNTFS`: it is possible (and at least two
regression tests make use of it) to create commits without involving the
worktree. In such a scenario, it is of course possible -- even on
Windows -- to create such file names.
Among other consequences, this patch disallows submodules' paths to end
in spaces on Windows (which would formerly have confused Git enough to
try to write into incorrect paths, anyway).
While this patch does not fix a vulnerability on its own, it prevents an
attack vector that was exploited in demonstrations of a number of
recently-fixed security bugs.
The regression test added to `t/t7417-submodule-path-url.sh` reflects
that attack vector.
Note that we have to adjust the test case "prevent git~1 squatting on
Windows" in `t/t7415-submodule-names.sh` because of a very subtle issue.
It tries to clone two submodules whose names differ only in a trailing
period character, and as a consequence their git directories differ in
the same way. Previously, when Git tried to clone the second submodule,
it thought that the git directory already existed (because on Windows,
when you create a directory with the name `b.` it actually creates `b`),
but with this patch, the first submodule's clone will fail because of
the illegal name of the git directory. Therefore, when cloning the
second submodule, Git will take a different code path: a fresh clone
(without an existing git directory). Both code paths fail to clone the
second submodule, both because the the corresponding worktree directory
exists and is not empty, but the error messages are worded differently.

Git's code base already seems to be using `PRIdMAX` without any such
fallback definition for quite a while (75459410ed (json_writer: new
routines to create JSON data, 2018-07-13), to be precise, and the
first Git version to include that commit was v2.19.0). Having a
fallback definition only for `PRIuMAX` is a bit inconsistent.
We do sometimes get portability reports more than a year after the
problem was introduced. This one should be fairly safe. PRIuMAX is
in C99 (for that matter, SCNuMAX, PRIu32 and others also are), and
we've been picking up other C99-isms without complaint.
The PRIuMAX fallback definition was originally added in 3efb1f343a
(Check for PRIuMAX rather than NO_C99_FORMAT in fast-import.c.,
2007-02-20). But it was replacing a construct that was introduced in
an even earlier commit, 579d1fbfaf (Add NO_C99_FORMAT to support
older compilers., 2006-07-30), which talks about gcc 2.95.
That's pretty ancient at this point.

While we cannot rely on a `__typeof__' operator being portable

is already given.
In the future, list iterator macros (e.g. list_for_each_entry)

This macro is popular within the Linux kernel for supporting
intrusive data structures such as linked lists, red-black trees,

Later patches will use container_of() to remove the limitation
of "hashmap_entry" being location-dependent. This will complete
the transition to compile-time type checking for the hashmap API.
This macro already exists in our source as "list_entry" in

The `qsort()` function is not guaranteed to be stable, i.e. it does not
promise to maintain the order of items it is told to consider equal. In
contrast, the `git_sort()` function we carry in `compat/qsort.c` _is_
stable, by virtue of implementing a merge sort algorithm.
In preparation for using a stable sort in Git's rename detection, move
the stable sort into `libgit.a` so that it is compiled in
unconditionally, and rename it to `git_stable_qsort()`.
Note: this also makes the hack obsolete that was introduced in
fe21c6b285 (mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16

When 'git name-rev' is invoked with commit-ish parameters, it tries to
save some work, and doesn't visit commits older than the committer
date of the oldest given commit minus a one day worth of slop. Since
our 'timestamp_t' is an unsigned type, this leads to a timestamp
underflow when the committer date of the oldest given commit is within
a day of the UNIX epoch. As a result the cutoff timestamp ends up
far-far in the future, and 'git name-rev' doesn't visit any commits,
and names each given commit as 'undefined'.
Check whether subtracting the slop from the oldest committer date
would lead to an underflow, and use no cutoff in that case. We don't
have a TIME_MIN constant, dddbad728c (timestamp_t: a new data type for
timestamps, 2017-04-26) didn't add one, so do it now.
Note that the type of the cutoff timestamp variable used to be signed
before 5589e87fd8 (name-rev: change a "long" variable to timestamp_t,
2017-05-20). The behavior was still the same even back then, but the
underflow didn't happen when substracting the slop from the oldest
committer date, but when comparing the signed cutoff timestamp with
unsigned committer dates in name_rev(). IOW, this underflow bug is as
old as 'git name-rev' itself.

Long ago, in 97bfeb34df (Release pack windows before reporting out of
memory., 2006-12-24), we taught xmalloc() and friends to try unmapping
pack windows when malloc() failed. It's unlikely that his helps a lot in
practice, and it has some downsides. First, the downsides:
1. It makes xmalloc() not thread-safe. We've worked around this in
pack-objects.c, which installs its own locking version of the
try_to_free_routine(). But other threaded code doesn't.
2. It makes the system as a whole harder to reason about. Functions
which allocate heap memory under the hood may have farther-reaching
effects than expected.
That might be worth the tradeoff if there's a benefit. But in practice,
it seems unlikely. We're generally dealing with mmap'd files, so the OS
is going to do a much better job at responding to memory pressure by
dropping individual pages (the exception is systems with NO_MMAP, but
even there the OS can probably respond just as well with swapping).
So the only thing we're really freeing is address space. On 64-bit
systems, we have plenty of that to go around. On 32-bit systems, it
could possibly help. But around the same time we made two other changes:
77ccc5bbd1 (Introduce new config option for mmap limit., 2006-12-23) and
60bb8b1453 (Fully activate the sliding window pack access., 2006-12-23).
Together that means that a 32-bit system should have no more than 256MB
total of packed-git mmaps at one time, split between a few 32MB windows.
It's unlikely we have any address space problems since then, but we
don't have any data since the features were all added at the same time.
Likewise, xmmap() will try to free memory. At first glance, it seems
like we'd need this (when we try to mmap a new window, we might need to
close an old one to save address space on a 32-bit system). But we're
saved again by core.packedGitLimit: if we're going to exceed our 256MB
limit, we'll close an existing window before we even call mmap().
So it seems unlikely that this feature is actually doing anything
useful. And while we don't have reports of it harming anything (probably
because it rarely if ever kicks in), it would be nice to simplify the
system overall. This patch drops the whole try_to_free system from
xmalloc(), as well as the manual pack memory release in xmmap().

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Finish the job by removing all instances of "extern" for function

This was done by running the following on my system with sed 4.2.2:
$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
grep -v ^compat/ |
xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/'
Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.
Then, leftover instances of extern were found by running
$ git grep -w -C3 extern \*.{c,h}
and manually checking the output. No other instances were found.
Note that the regex used specifically excludes function variables which
_should_ be left as extern.
Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been
replaced by a string operation.

but the new string operation does not.
"git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo" fails like this:
fatal: Invalid path '/home/USER/repo/C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo'

is_dir_sep(), offset_1st_component() and convert_slashes() for cygwin
in the same way as it is done in 'Git for Windows' in compat/mingw.[ch]

A few issues in the implementation of "delta-islands" feature has
been corrected.
* cc/delta-islands:
pack-objects: fix off-by-one in delta-island tree-depth computation
pack-objects: zero-initialize tree_depth/layer arrays
pack-objects: fix tree_depth and layer invariants
Commit 108f530385 (pack-objects: move tree_depth into 'struct
packing_data', 2018-08-16) started maintaining a tree_depth array that
matches the "objects" array. We extend the array when:
1. The objects array is extended, in which case we use realloc to
extend the tree_depth array.
2. A caller asks to store a tree_depth for object N, and this is the
first such request; we create the array from scratch and store the
value for N.
In the latter case, though, we use regular xmalloc(), and the depth
values for any objects besides N is undefined. This happens to not
trigger a bug with the current code, but the reasons are quite subtle:
- we never ask about the depth for any object with index i < N. This is
because we store the depth immediately for all trees and blobs. So
any such "i" must be a non-tree, and therefore we will never need to
care about its depth (in fact, we really only care about the depth of
trees).
- there are no objects at this point with index i > N, because we
always fill in the depth for a tree immediately after its object
entry is created (we may still allocate uninitialized depth entries,
but they'll be initialized by packlist_alloc() when it initializes
the entry in the "objects" array).
So it works, but only by chance. To be defensive, let's zero the array,
which matches the "unset" values which would be handed out by
oe_tree_depth() already.

There are a few standard C functions (like strcpy) which are
easy to misuse. E.g.:
char path[PATH_MAX];
strcpy(path, arg);
may overflow the "path" buffer. Sometimes there's an earlier
constraint on the size of "arg", but even in such a case
it's hard to verify that the code is correct. If the size
really is unbounded, you're better off using a dynamic
helper like strbuf:
struct strbuf path = STRBUF_INIT;
strbuf_addstr(path, arg);
or if it really is bounded, then use xsnprintf to show your
expectation (and get a run-time assertion):
char path[PATH_MAX];
xsnprintf(path, sizeof(path), "%s", arg);
which makes further auditing easier.
We'd usually catch undesirable code like this in a review,
but there's no automated enforcement. Adding that
enforcement can help us be more consistent and save effort
(and a round-trip) during review.
This patch teaches the compiler to report an error when it
sees strcpy (and will become a model for banning a few other
functions). This has a few advantages over a separate
linting tool:
1. We know it's run as part of a build cycle, so it's
hard to ignore. Whereas an external linter is an extra
step the developer needs to remember to do.
2. Likewise, it's basically free since the compiler is
parsing the code anyway.
3. We know it's robust against false positives (unlike a
grep-based linter).
The two big disadvantages are:
1. We'll only check code that is actually compiled, so it
may miss code that isn't triggered on your particular
system. But since presumably people don't add new code
without compiling it (and if they do, the banned
function list is the least of their worries), we really
only care about failing to clean up old code when
adding new functions to the list. And that's easy
enough to address with a manual audit when adding a new
function (which is what I did for the functions here).
2. If this ends up generating false positives, it's going
to be harder to disable (as opposed to a separate
linter, which may have mechanisms for overriding a
particular case).
But the intent is to only ban functions which are
obviously bad, and for which we accept using an
alternative even when this particular use isn't buggy
(e.g., the xsnprintf alternative above).
The implementation here is simple: we'll define a macro for
the banned function which replaces it with a reference to a
descriptively named but undeclared identifier. Replacing it
with any invalid code would work (since we just want to
break compilation). But ideally we'd meet these goals:
- it should be portable; ideally this would trigger
everywhere, and does not need to be part of a DEVELOPER=1
setup (because unlike warnings which may depend on the
compiler or system, this is a clear indicator of
something wrong in the code).
- it should generate a readable error that gives the
developer a clue what happened
- it should avoid generating too much other cruft that
makes it hard to see the actual error
- it should mention the original callsite in the error
The output with this patch looks like this (using gcc 7, on
a checkout with 022d2ac1f3 reverted, which removed the final
strcpy from blame.c):
CC builtin/blame.o
In file included from ./git-compat-util.h:1246,
from ./cache.h:4,
from builtin/blame.c:8:
builtin/blame.c: In function ‘cmd_blame’:
./banned.h:11:22: error: ‘sorry_strcpy_is_a_banned_function’ undeclared (first use in this function)
#define BANNED(func) sorry_##func##_is_a_banned_function
^~~~~~
./banned.h:14:21: note: in expansion of macro ‘BANNED’

#define strcpy(x,y) BANNED(strcpy)
^~~~~~
builtin/blame.c:1074:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘strcpy’
strcpy(repeated_meta_color, GIT_COLOR_CYAN);
^~~~~~
This prominently shows the phrase "strcpy is a banned
function", along with the original callsite in blame.c and
the location of the ban code in banned.h. Which should be
enough to get even a developer seeing this for the first
time pointed in the right direction.
This doesn't match our ideals perfectly, but it's a pretty
good balance. A few alternatives I tried:
1. Instead of using an undeclared variable, using an
undeclared function. This shortens the message, because
the "each undeclared identifier" message is not needed
(and as you can see above, it triggers a separate
mention of each of the expansion points).
But it doesn't actually stop compilation unless you use
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration in your CFLAGS.
This is the case for DEVELOPER=1, but not for a default
build (on the other hand, we'd eventually produce a
link error pointing to the correct source line with the
descriptive name).
2. The linux kernel uses a similar mechanism in its
BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(), where they actually declare the
function but do so with gcc's error attribute. But
that's not portable to other compilers (and it also
runs afoul of our error() macro).
We could make a gcc-specific technique and fallback on
other compilers, but it's probably not worth the
complexity. It also isn't significantly shorter than
the error message shown above.
3. We could drop the BANNED() macro, which would shorten
the number of lines in the error. But curiously,
removing it (and just expanding strcpy directly to the
bogus identifier) causes gcc _not_ to report the
original line of code.
So this strategy seems to be an acceptable mix of
information, portability, simplicity, and robustness,
without _too_ much extra clutter. I also tested it with
clang, and it looks as good (actually, slightly less
cluttered than with gcc).

pack-objects could be a big memory hog especially on large repos,
everybody knows that. The suggestion to stick a .keep file on the
giant base pack to avoid this problem is also known for a long time.
Recent patches add an option to do just this, but it has to be either
configured or activated manually. This patch lets `git gc --auto`
activate this mode automatically when it thinks `repack -ad` will use
a lot of memory and start affecting the system due to swapping or
flushing OS cache.
gc --auto decides to do this based on an estimation of pack-objects
memory usage, which is quite accurate at least for the heap part, and
whether that fits in half of system memory (the assumption here is for
desktop environment where there are many other applications running).
This mechanism only kicks in if gc.bigBasePackThreshold is not configured.
If it is, it is assumed that the user already knows what they want.

We often accept both a "--key" option and a "--key=<val>" option.
These options currently are parsed using something like:
if (!strcmp(arg, "--key")) {
/* do something */
} else if (skip_prefix(arg, "--key=", &arg)) {
/* do something with arg */
}
which is a bit cumbersome compared to just:
if (skip_to_optional_arg(arg, "--key", &arg)) {
/* do something with arg */
}
This also introduces skip_to_optional_arg_default() for the few
cases where something different should be done when the first
argument is exactly "--key" than when it is exactly "--key=".
In general it is better for UI consistency and simplicity if
"--key" and "--key=" do the same thing though, so that using
skip_to_optional_arg() should be encouraged compared to
skip_to_optional_arg_default().
Note that these functions can be used to parse any "key=value"
string where "key" is also considered as valid, not just
command line options.

It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some
memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and
then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it
away.
This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste
time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the
program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak
checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory
was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know
_when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was
early in the program, then it's probably a real and
important leak. But if it was used right up until program
exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress
it so that we can see the real leaks.
This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so.
To understand its design, let's first look at some of the
alternatives.
Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by
leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A
leak-checker basically knows two things:
1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the
callstack during the allocation.
2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the
program (and which are unreachable, but more on that
later).
Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or
callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK
to leak. So imagine you have code like this:
int cmd_foo(...)
{
/* this allocates some memory */
char *p = some_function();
printf("%s", p);
return 0;
}
You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(),
they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may
be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to
know about those leaks.
So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls
some_function". That works, but your annotations are
brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can
imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of
the intermediate code changes, you have to update the
suppression.
What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to
p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But
leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about
"p" in the first place.
However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make
some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They
generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would
report even globals which are still accessible when the
leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory
(like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they
scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a
pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block
reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on,
transitively marking anything reachable from a global as
"not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category).
So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it
into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is
to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the
run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you
aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*()
functions are called from other commands).
Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value
into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global
linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That
list is reachable even at program exit, which confers
recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak.
In other words, you can do:
int cmd_foo(...)
{
char *p = some_function();
printf("%s", p);
UNLEAK(p);
return 0;
}
to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report.
But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy
example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has
several advantages over actually freeing the memory:
1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p"
is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose
fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And
in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a
function which knows how to free all of the struct
members.
By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers
reachability on any pointers it contains (including those
found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking
heap blocks recursively.
2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is
allocated or not. For example:
char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function();
It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not
freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to
argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore
our bytes.
3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_
been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If
the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip
over those bytes as uninteresting.
4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can
UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable.
This is helpful in cases like this:
char *p = some_function();
return another_function(p);
Writing this with free() requires:
int ret;
char *p = some_function();
ret = another_function(p);
free(p);
return ret;
But with unleak we can just write:
char *p = some_function();
UNLEAK(p);
return another_function(p);
This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it
automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In
normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost.
It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the
feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are
enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with
LSAN.
Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a
strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already
non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since
we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that
non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is
minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a
crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it
here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would
have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them
both into strbuf_release() calls).

On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"

As cygwin handles an UNC path so well, Git can support them better:

Add a FREE_AND_NULL() wrapper marco for the common pattern of freeing
a pointer and assigning NULL to it right afterwards.
The implementation is similar to the (currently unused) XDL_PTRFREE
macro in xdiff/xmacros.h added in commit 3443546f6e ("Use a *real*
built-in diff generator", 2006-03-24). The only difference is that
free() is called unconditionally, see [1].
See [2] for a suggested alternative which does this via a function
instead of a macro. As covered in replies to that message, while it's
a viable approach, it would introduce caveats which this approach
doesn't have, so that potential change is left to a future follow-up
change.
This merely allows us to translate exactly what we're doing now to a
less verbose & idiomatic form using a macro, while guaranteeing that
we don't introduce any functional changes.

In many places, Git warns about an inaccessible file after a fopen()
failed. To discern these cases from other cases where we want to warn
about inaccessible files, introduce a new helper specifically to test
whether fopen() failed because the current user lacks the permission to
open file in question.

If git is built with the FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES build variable set, this
would cause sparse to issue a 'not declared, should it be static?' warning
on Linux. This is a result of the method employed by 'compat/fopen.c' to
suppress the (possible) redefinition of the (system) fopen macro, which
also removes the extern declaration of the git_fopen function.
In order to suppress the warning, introduce a new macro to suppress the
definition (or possibly the re-definition) of the fopen symbol as a macro
override. This new macro (SUPPRESS_FOPEN_REDEFINITION) is only defined in
'compat/fopen.c', just prior to the inclusion of the 'git-compat-util.h'
header file.

Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our
historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot
represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a
separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish
timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good
move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the
timestamp_t.

The set_error_handle() function was introduced by 3b331e926
(vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandles, 2015-08-11) so
that run-command could send post-fork, pre-exec errors to
the parent's original stderr.
That use went away in 79319b194 (run-command: eliminate
calls to error handling functions in child, 2017-04-19),
which pushes all of the error reporting to the parent.
This leaves no callers of set_error_handle(). As we're not
likely to add any new ones, let's drop it.

There's a convention in Git's code base to write assertions
as:
if (...some_bad_thing...)
die("BUG: the terrible thing happened");
with the idea that users should never see a "BUG:" message
(but if they, it at least gives a clue what happened). We
use die() here because it's convenient, but there are a few
draw-backs:
1. Without parsing the messages, it's hard for callers to
distinguish BUG assertions from regular errors.
For instance, it would be nice if the test suite could
check that we don't hit any assertions, but
test_must_fail will pass BUG deaths as OK.
2. It would be useful to add more debugging features to
BUG assertions, like file/line numbers or dumping core.
3. The die() handler can be replaced, and might not
actually exit the whole program (e.g., it may just
pthread_exit()). This is convenient for normal errors,
but for an assertion failure (which is supposed to
never happen), we're probably better off taking down
the whole process as quickly and cleanly as possible.
We could address these by checking in die() whether the
error message starts with "BUG", and behaving appropriately.
But there's little advantage at that point to sharing the
die() code, and only downsides (e.g., we can't change the
BUG() interface independently). Moreover, converting all of
the existing BUG calls reveals that the test suite does
indeed trigger a few of them.
Instead, this patch introduces a new BUG() function, which
prints an error before dying via SIGABRT. This gives us test
suite checking and core dumps. The function is actually a
macro (when supported) so that we can show the file/line
number.
We can convert die("BUG") invocations to BUG() in further
patches, dealing with any test fallouts individually.

Previously, we used `unsigned long` for timestamps. This was only a good
choice on Linux, where we know implicitly that `unsigned long` is what is
used for `time_t`.
However, we want to use a different data type for timestamps for two
reasons:
- there is nothing that says that `unsigned long` should be the same data
type as `time_t`, and indeed, on 64-bit Windows for example, it is not:
`unsigned long` is 32-bit but `time_t` is 64-bit.
- even on 32-bit Linux, where `unsigned long` (and thereby `time_t`) is
32-bit, we *want* to be able to encode timestamps in Git that are
currently absurdly far in the future, *even if* the system library is
not able to format those timestamps into date strings.
So let's just switch to the maximal integer type available, which should
be at least 64-bit for all practical purposes these days. It certainly
cannot be worse than `unsigned long`, so...

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

gethostname(2) may not NUL terminate the buffer if hostname does

Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were
unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them.
There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows,
time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch
away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type.
So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being
defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for
timestamps.

When core.packedGitLimit is exceeded, git will close packs. If there
is a repack operation going on in parallel with a fetch, the fetch
might open a pack, and then be forced to close it due to
packedGitLimit being hit. The repack could then delete the pack
out from under the fetch, causing the fetch to fail.
Increase core.packedGitLimit's default value to prevent
this.
On current 64-bit x86_64 machines, 48 bits of address space are
available. It appears that 64-bit ARM machines have no standard
amount of address space (that is, it varies by manufacturer), and IA64
and POWER machines have the full 64 bits. So 48 bits is the only
limit that we can reasonably care about. We reserve a few bits of the
48-bit address space for the kernel's use (this is not strictly
necessary, but it's better to be safe), and use up to the remaining
45. No git repository will be anywhere near this large any time soon,
so this should prevent the failure.

few safety checks.
Add an implementation based on compat/qsort.c for platforms that lack a
native standards-compliant qsort_s() (i.e. basically everyone). It
doesn't perform the full range of possible checks: It uses size_t
instead of rsize_t and doesn't check nmemb and size against RSIZE_MAX
because we probably don't have the restricted size type defined. For
the same reason it returns int instead of errno_t.

This doesn't have any actual impact on the code, since it's
not incorrect to repeat a function declaration in C. But
it's a bad habit, and makes it more likely for somebody else
to make the same mistake. It also defeats gcc's optimization

then simply refer to the flexible array member by its name instead of
performing pointer arithmetic up front. The resulting code is slightly
shorter, easier to read and doesn't rely on undefined behaviour.
NB: The cast to a (non-const) void pointer is necessary to keep support
