On platforms where `size_t` does not have the same width as `unsigned
long`, passing a pointer to the former when a pointer to the latter is
expected can lead to problems.
Windows and 32-bit Linux are among the affected platforms.
In this instance, we want to store the size of the blob that was read in
that variable. However, `read_blob_data_from_index()` passes that
pointer to `read_object_file()` which expects an `unsigned long *`.
Which means that on affected platforms, the variable is not fully
populated and part of its value is left uninitialized. (On Big-Endian
platforms, this problem would be even worse.)
The consequence is that depending on the uninitialized memory's
contents, we may erroneously reject perfectly fine attributes.
Let's address this by passing a pointer to a variable of the expected
data type.

Similar as with the preceding commit, start ignoring gitattributes files
that are overly large to protect us against out-of-bounds reads and
writes caused by integer overflows. Unfortunately, we cannot just define
"overly large" in terms of any preexisting limits in the codebase.
Instead, we choose a very conservative limit of 100MB. This is plenty of
room for specifying gitattributes, and incidentally it is also the limit
for blob sizes for GitHub. While we don't want GitHub to dictate limits
here, it is still sensible to use this fact for an informed decision
given that it is hosting a huge set of repositories. Furthermore, over
at GitLab we scanned a subset of repositories for their root-level
attribute files. We found that 80% of them have a gitattributes file
smaller than 100kB, 99.99% have one smaller than 1MB, and only a single
repository had one that was almost 3MB in size. So enforcing a limit of
100MB seems to give us ample of headroom.
With this limit in place we can be reasonably sure that there is no easy
way to exploit the gitattributes file via integer overflows anymore.
Furthermore, it protects us against resource exhaustion caused by
allocating the in-memory data structures required to represent the
parsed attributes.

There are two different code paths to read gitattributes: once via a
file, and once via the index. These two paths used to behave differently
because when reading attributes from a file, we used fgets(3P) with a
buffer size of 2kB. Consequentially, we silently truncate line lengths
when lines are longer than that and will then parse the remainder of the
line as a new pattern. It goes without saying that this is entirely
unexpected, but it's even worse that the behaviour depends on how the
gitattributes are parsed.
While this is simply wrong, the silent truncation saves us with the
recently discovered vulnerabilities that can cause out-of-bound writes
or reads with unreasonably long lines due to integer overflows. As the
common path is to read gitattributes via the worktree file instead of
via the index, we can assume that any gitattributes file that had lines
longer than that is already broken anyway. So instead of lifting the
limit here, we can double down on it to fix the vulnerabilities.
Introduce an explicit line length limit of 2kB that is shared across all
paths that read attributes and ignore any line that hits this limit
while printing a warning.

When reading attributes from a file we use fgets(3P) with a buffer size
of 2048 bytes. This means that as soon as a line exceeds the buffer size
we split it up into multiple parts and parse each of them as a separate
pattern line. This is of course not what the user intended, and even
worse the behaviour is inconsistent with how we read attributes from the
index.
Fix this bug by converting the code to use `strbuf_getline()` instead.
This will indeed read in the whole line, which may theoretically lead to
an out-of-memory situation when the gitattributes file is huge. We're
about to reject any gitattributes files larger than 100MB in the next
commit though, which makes this less of a concern.

When parsing an attributes line, we need to allocate an array that holds
all attributes specified for the given file pattern. The calculation to
determine the number of bytes that need to be allocated was prone to an
overflow though when there was an unreasonable amount of attributes.
Harden the allocation by instead using the `st_` helper functions that
cause us to die when we hit an integer overflow.

Attributes have a field that tracks the position in the `all_attrs`
array they're stored inside. This field gets set via `hashmap_get_size`
when adding the attribute to the global map of attributes. But while the
field is of type `int`, the value returned by `hashmap_get_size` is an
`unsigned int`. It can thus happen that the value overflows, where we
would now dereference teh `all_attrs` array at an out-of-bounds value.
We do have a sanity check for this overflow via an assert that verifies
the index matches the new hashmap's size. But asserts are not a proper
mechanism to detect against any such overflows as they may not in fact
be compiled into production code.
Fix this by using an `unsigned int` to track the index and convert the
assert to a call `die()`.

The `struct attr_stack` tracks the stack of all patterns together with
their attributes. When parsing a gitattributes file that has more than
2^31 such patterns though we may trigger multiple out-of-bounds reads on
64 bit platforms. This is because while the `num_matches` variable is an
unsigned integer, we always use a signed integer to iterate over them.
I have not been able to reproduce this issue due to memory constraints
on my systems. But despite the out-of-bounds reads, the worst thing that
can seemingly happen is to call free(3P) with a garbage pointer when
calling `attr_stack_free()`.
Fix this bug by using unsigned integers to iterate over the array. While
this makes the iteration somewhat awkward when iterating in reverse, it
is at least better than knowingly running into an out-of-bounds read.
While at it, convert the call to `ALLOC_GROW` to use `ALLOC_GROW_BY`
instead.

It is possible to trigger an integer overflow when parsing attribute
names that are longer than 2^31 bytes because we assign the result of
strlen(3P) to an `int` instead of to a `size_t`. This can lead to an
abort in vsnprintf(3P) with the following reproducer:
blob=$(perl -e 'print "A " . "B"x2147483648 . "\n"' | git hash-object -w --stdin)
git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$blob,.gitattributes
git check-attr --all path
BUG: strbuf.c:400: your vsnprintf is broken (returned -1)
But furthermore, assuming that the attribute name is even longer than
that, it can cause us to silently truncate the attribute and thus lead
to wrong results.
Fix this integer overflow by using a `size_t` instead. This fixes the
silent truncation of attribute names, but it only partially fixes the
BUG we hit: even though the initial BUG is fixed, we can still hit a BUG
when parsing invalid attribute lines via `report_invalid_attr()`.
This is due to an underlying design issue in vsnprintf(3P) which only
knows to return an `int`, and thus it may always overflow with large
inputs. This issue is benign though: the worst that can happen is that
the error message is misreported to be either truncated or too long, but
due to the buffer being NUL terminated we wouldn't ever do an
out-of-bounds read here.

The function `git_attr_internal()` is called to upsert attributes into
the global map. And while all callers pass a `size_t`, the function
itself accepts an `int` as the attribute name's length. This can lead to
an integer overflow in case the attribute name is longer than `INT_MAX`.
Now this overflow seems harmless as the first thing we do is to call
`attr_name_valid()`, and that function only succeeds in case all chars
in the range of `namelen` match a certain small set of chars. We thus
can't do an out-of-bounds read as NUL is not part of that set and all
strings passed to this function are NUL-terminated. And furthermore, we
wouldn't ever read past the current attribute name anyway due to the
same reason. And if validation fails we will return early.
On the other hand it feels fragile to rely on this behaviour, even more
so given that we pass `namelen` to `FLEX_ALLOC_MEM()`. So let's instead
just do the correct thing here and accept a `size_t` as line length.

Since its inception in d0bfd026a8 (Add basic infrastructure to assign
attributes to paths, 2007-04-12), the attribute code carries a little
bit of debug code that is conditionally compiled only when DEBUG_ATTR is
set. But since you have to know about it and make a special build of Git
to use it, it's not clear that it's helping anyone (and there are very
few mentions of it on the list over the years).
Meanwhile, it causes slight headaches. Since it's not built as part of a
regular compile, it's subject to bitrot. E.g., this was dealt with in
712efb1a42 (attr: make it build with DEBUG_ATTR again, 2013-01-15), and
it currently fails to build with DEVELOPER=1 since e810e06357 (attr:
tighten const correctness with git_attr and match_attr, 2017-01-27).
And it causes confusion with -Wunused-parameter; the "what" parameter of
fill_one() is unused in a normal build, but needed in a debug build.
Let's just get rid of this code (and the now-useless parameter).

git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro
As reported in [1] the "UNUSED(var)" macro introduced in
2174b8c75de (Merge branch 'jk/unused-annotation' into next,
2022-08-24) breaks coccinelle's parsing of our sources in files where
it occurs.
Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of
making this not take an argument. As noted in [1] "coccinelle" will
ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and
it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters.
This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is
actually use" part of 9b24034754 (git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro,
2022-08-19), a subsequent commit will further tweak the macro to
implement a replacement for that functionality.

Hashmap comparison functions must conform to a particular callback
interface, but many don't use all of their parameters. Especially the
void cmp_data pointer, but some do not use keydata either (because they
can easily form a full struct to pass when doing lookups). Let's mark
these to make -Wunused-parameter happy.

Builds on top of the sparse-index infrastructure to mark operations

Several methods specify that they take a 'struct index_state' pointer
with the 'const' qualifier because they intend to only query the data,
not change it. However, we will be introducing a step very low in the
method stack that might modify a sparse-index to become a full index in
the case that our queries venture inside a sparse-directory entry.
This change only removes the 'const' qualifiers that are necessary for
the following change which will actually modify the implementation of
index_name_stage_pos().

It does not make sense to make ".gitattributes", ".gitignore" and
".mailmap" symlinks, as they are supposed to be usable from the
object store (think: bare repositories where HEAD:.mailmap etc. are

corrected.

The attributes system may sometimes read in-tree files from the
filesystem, and sometimes from the index. In the latter case, we do not
resolve symbolic links (and are not likely to ever start doing so).
Let's open filesystem links with O_NOFOLLOW so that the two cases behave
consistently.
As a bonus, this means that git will not follow such symlinks to read
and parse out-of-tree paths. In some cases this could have security
implications, as a malicious repository can cause Git to open and read
arbitrary files. It could already feed arbitrary content to the parser,
but in certain setups it might be able to exfiltrate data from those
paths (e.g., if an automated service operating on the malicious repo
reveals its stderr to an attacker).
Note that O_NOFOLLOW only prevents following links for the path itself,
not intermediate directories in the path. At first glance, it seems
like
ln -s /some/path in-repo
might still look at "in-repo/.gitattributes", following the symlink to
"/some/path/.gitattributes". However, if "in-repo" is a symbolic link,
then we know that it has no git paths below it, and will never look at
its .gitattributes file.
We will continue to support out-of-tree symbolic links (e.g., in
$GIT_DIR/info/attributes); this just affects in-tree links. When a
symbolic link is encountered, the contents are ignored and a warning is
printed. POSIX specifies ELOOP in this case, so the user would generally
see something like:
warning: unable to access '.gitattributes': Too many levels of symbolic links

Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-gitattributes.txt
to attr.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage
information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file.
Also documentation/technical/api-gitattributes.txt is removed because the
information it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to

Since these macros already take a `keyvar' pointer of a known type,
we can rely on OFFSETOF_VAR to get the correct offset without
relying on non-portable `__typeof__' and `offsetof'.
Argument order is also rearranged, so `keyvar' and `member' are
sequential as they are used as: `keyvar->member'

While we cannot rely on a `__typeof__' operator being portable
to use with `offsetof'; we can calculate the pointer offset
using an existing pointer and the address of a member using
pointer arithmetic for compilers without `__typeof__'.
This allows us to simplify usage of hashmap iterator macros
by not having to specify a type when a pointer of that type
is already given.
In the future, list iterator macros (e.g. list_for_each_entry)
may also be implemented using OFFSETOF_VAR to save hackers the
trouble of using container_of/list_entry macros and without
relying on non-portable `__typeof__'.

The first consumer of pattern-matching filenames was the
.gitignore feature. In that context, storing a list of patterns
as a 'struct exclude_list' makes sense. However, the
sparse-checkout feature then adopted these structures and methods,
but with the opposite meaning: these patterns match the files
that should be included!
It would be clearer to rename this entire library as a "pattern
matching" library, and the callers apply exclusion/inclusion
logic accordingly based on their needs.
This commit renames several methods defined in dir.h to make
more sense with the renamed 'struct exclude_list' to 'struct
pattern_list' and 'struct exclude' to 'struct path_pattern':
* last_exclude_matching() -> last_matching_pattern()
* parse_exclude() -> parse_path_pattern()
In addition, the word 'exclude' was replaced with 'pattern'
in the methods below:
* add_exclude_list()
* add_excludes_from_file_to_list()
* add_excludes_from_file()
* add_excludes_from_blob_to_list()
* add_exclude()
* clear_exclude_list()
A few methods with the word "exclude" remain. These will
be handled seperately. In particular, the method
"is_excluded()" is concretely about the .gitignore file
relative to a specific directory. This is the important
boundary between library and consumer: is_excluded() cares
about .gitignore, but is_excluded() calls
last_matching_pattern() to make that decision.
