The easiest way to verify a pack index is to open it through the
standard parse_pack_index function, permitting the header check
to happen when the file is mapped. However, the dumb HTTP client
needs to verify a pack index before its moved into its proper file
name within the objects/pack directory, to prevent a corrupt index
from being made available. So permit the caller to specify the
exact path of the index file.
For now we're still using the final destination name within the
sole call site in http.c, but eventually we will start to parse
the temporary path instead.

By closing the pack index, a caller can later overwrite the index
with an updated index file, possibly after converting from v1 to
the v2 format. Because p->index_data is NULL after close, on the
next access the index will be opened again and the other members
will be updated with new data.

Until now, this has been part of the commit-tree builtin.
However, it is already used by other builtins (like commit,
merge, and notes), and it would be useful to access it from
library code.
The check_valid helper has to come along, too, but is given
a more library-ish name of "assert_sha1_type".
Otherwise, the code is unchanged. There are still a few
rough edges for a library function, like printing the utf8

We don't want the data being deflated and stored into loose objects
to be different from what we expect. While the deflated data is
protected by a CRC which is good enough for safe data retrieval
operations, we still want to be doubly sure that the source data used
at object creation time is still what we expected once that data has
been deflated and its CRC32 computed.
The most plausible data corruption may occur if the source file is
modified while Git is deflating and writing it out in a loose object.
Or Git itself could have a bug causing memory corruption. Or even bad
RAM could cause trouble. So it is best to make sure everything is
coherent and checksum protected from beginning to end.
To do so we compute the SHA1 of the data being deflated _after_ the
deflate operation has consumed that data, and make sure it matches
with the expected SHA1. This way we can rely on the CRC32 checked by
the inflate operation to provide a good indication that the data is still
coherent with its SHA1 hash. One pathological case we ignore is when
the data is modified before (or during) deflate call, but changed back
before it is hashed.
There is some overhead of course. Using 'git add' on a set of large files:
Before:
real 0m25.210s

The loop in get_size_from_delta() feeds a deflated delta data from the
pack stream _until_ we get inflated result of 20 bytes[*] or we reach the
end of stream.
Side note. This magic number 20 does not have anything to do with the
size of the hash we use, but comes from 1a3b55c (reduce delta head
inflated size, 2006-10-18).
The loop reads like this:
do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while ((st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) &&
stream.total_out < sizeof(delta_head));
This git_inflate() can return:
- Z_STREAM_END, if use_pack() fed it enough input and the delta itself
was smaller than 20 bytes;
- Z_OK, when some progress has been made;
- Z_BUF_ERROR, if no progress is possible, because we either ran out of
input (due to corrupt pack), or we ran out of output before we saw the
end of the stream.
The fix b3118bd (sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corrupted,
2009-10-14) attempted was against a corruption that appears to be a valid
stream that produces a result larger than the output buffer, but we are
not even trying to read the stream to the end in this loop. If avail_out
becomes zero, total_out will be the same as sizeof(delta_head) so the loop
will terminate without the "fix". There is no fix from b3118bd needed for
this loop, in other words.
The loop in unpack_compressed_entry() is quite a different story. It
feeds a deflated stream (either delta or base) and allows the stream to
produce output up to what we expect but no more.
do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR)
This _does_ risk falling into an endless interation, as we can exhaust
avail_out if the length we expect is smaller than what the stream wants to
produce (due to pack corruption). In such a case, avail_out will become
zero and inflate() will return Z_BUF_ERROR, while avail_in may (or may
not) be zero.
But this is not a right fix:
do {
in = use_pack();
stream.next_in = in;
st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH);
+ if (st == Z_BUF_ERROR && (stream.avail_in || !stream.avail_out)
+ break; /* wants more input??? */
curpos += stream.next_in - in;
} while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR)
as Z_BUF_ERROR from inflate() may be telling us that avail_in has also run
out before reading the end of stream marker. In such a case, both avail_in
and avail_out would be zero, and the loop should iterate to allow the end
of stream marker to be seen by inflate from the input stream.
The right fix for this loop is likely to be to increment the initial
avail_out by one (we allocate one extra byte to terminate it with NUL
anyway, so there is no risk to overrun the buffer), and break out if we
see that avail_out has become zero, in order to detect that the stream
wants to produce more than what we expect. After the loop, we have a
check that exactly tests this condition:
if ((st != Z_STREAM_END) || stream.total_out != size) {
free(buffer);
return NULL;
}
So here is a patch (without my previous botched attempts) to fix this
issue. The first hunk reverts the corresponding hunk from b3118bd, and
the second hunk is the same fix proposed earlier.

Some types of corruption to a pack may confuse the deflate stream
which stores an object. In Andy's reported case a 36 byte region
of the pack was overwritten, leading to what appeared to be a valid
deflate stream that was trying to produce a result larger than our
allocated output buffer could accept.
Z_BUF_ERROR is returned from inflate() if either the input buffer
needs more input bytes, or the output buffer has run out of space.
Previously we only considered the former case, as it meant we needed
to move the stream's input buffer to the next window in the pack.
We now abort the loop if inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR without
consuming the entire input buffer it was given, or has filled
the entire output buffer but has not yet returned Z_STREAM_END.
Either state is a clear indicator that this loop is not working
as expected, and should not continue.
This problem cannot occur with loose objects as we open the entire
loose object as a single buffer and treat Z_BUF_ERROR as an error.

Shifting 'unsigned char' or 'unsigned short' left can result in sign
extension errors, since the C integer promotion rules means that the
unsigned char/short will get implicitly promoted to a signed 'int' due to
the shift (or due to other operations).
This normally doesn't matter, but if you shift things up sufficiently, it
will now set the sign bit in 'int', and a subsequent cast to a bigger type
(eg 'long' or 'unsigned long') will now sign-extend the value despite the
original expression being unsigned.
One example of this would be something like
unsigned long size;
unsigned char c;
size += c << 24;
where despite all the variables being unsigned, 'c << 24' ends up being a
signed entity, and will get sign-extended when then doing the addition in
an 'unsigned long' type.
Since git uses 'unsigned char' pointers extensively, we actually have this
bug in a couple of places.
I may have missed some, but this is the result of looking at
git grep '[^0-9 ][ ]*<<[ ][a-z]' -- '*.c' '*.h'
git grep '<<[ ]*24'
which catches at least the common byte cases (shifting variables by a
variable amount, and shifting by 24 bits).
I also grepped for just 'unsigned char' variables in general, and
converted the ones that most obviously ended up getting implicitly cast
immediately anyway (eg hash_name(), encode_85()).
In addition to just avoiding 'unsigned char', this patch also tries to use
a common idiom for the delta header size thing. We had three different
variations on it: "& 0x7fUL" in one place (getting the sign extension
right), and "& ~0x80" and "& 0x7f" in two other places (not getting it
right). Apart from making them all just avoid using "unsigned char" at
all, I also unified them to then use a simple "& 0x7f".
I considered making a sparse extension which warns about doing implicit
casts from unsigned types to signed types, but it gets rather complex very
quickly, so this is just a hack.

This fixes the behaviour of octal notation to how it is defined in the
documentation, while keeping the traditional "loosen only" semantics
intact for "group" and "everybody".
Three main points of this patch are:
- For an explicit octal notation, the internal shared_repository variable
is set to a negative value, so that we can tell "group" (which is to
"OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660);
- git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect
the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the
configuration. We set it very early when a command-line option
specifies a custom value.
- Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all
involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to
its final destination. We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for
the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths
because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it
makes a difference.

R. Tyler Ballance reported a mysterious transient repository corruption;
after much digging, it turns out that we were not catching and reporting
memory allocation errors from some calls we make to zlib.
This one _just_ wraps things; it doesn't do the "retry on low memory
error" part, at least not yet. It is an independent issue from the
reporting. Some of the errors are expected and passed back to the caller,
but we die when zlib reports it failed to allocate memory for now.

Abstract
--------
With index v2 we have a per object CRC to allow quick and safe reuse of
pack data when repacking. This, however, doesn't currently prevent a
stealth corruption from being propagated into a new pack when _not_
reusing pack data as demonstrated by the modification to t5302 included
here.
The Context
-----------
The Git database is all checksummed with SHA1 hashes. Any kind of
corruption can be confirmed by verifying this per object hash against
corresponding data. However this can be costly to perform systematically
and therefore this check is often not performed at run time when
accessing the object database.
First, the loose object format is entirely compressed with zlib which
already provide a CRC verification of its own when inflating data. Any
disk corruption would be caught already in this case.
Then, packed objects are also compressed with zlib but only for their
actual payload. The object headers and delta base references are not
deflated for obvious performance reasons, however this leave them
vulnerable to potentially undetected disk corruptions. Object types
are often validated against the expected type when they're requested,
and deflated size must always match the size recorded in the object header,
so those cases are pretty much covered as well.
Where corruptions could go unnoticed is in the delta base reference.
Of course, in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the odds for a SHA1 reference to
get corrupted so it actually matches the SHA1 of another object with the
same size (the delta header stores the expected size of the base object
to apply against) are virtually zero. In the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case, the
reference is a pack offset which would have to match the start boundary
of a different base object but still with the same size, and although this
is relatively much more "probable" than in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the
probability is also about zero in absolute terms. Still, the possibility
exists as demonstrated in t5302 and is certainly greater than a SHA1
collision, especially in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case which is now the default
when repacking.
Again, repacking by reusing existing pack data is OK since the per object
CRC provided by index v2 guards against any such corruptions. What t5302
failed to test is a full repack in such case.
The Solution
------------
As unlikely as this kind of stealth corruption can be in practice, it
certainly isn't acceptable to propagate it into a freshly created pack.
But, because this is so unlikely, we don't want to pay the run time cost
associated with extra validation checks all the time either. Furthermore,
consequences of such corruption in anything but repacking should be rather
visible, and even if it could be quite unpleasant, it still has far less
severe consequences than actively creating bad packs.
So the best compromize is to check packed object CRC when unpacking
objects, and only during the compression/writing phase of a repack, and
only when not streaming the result. The cost of this is minimal (less
than 1% CPU time), and visible only with a full repack.
Someone with a stats background could provide an objective evaluation of
this, but I suspect that it's bad RAM that has more potential for data
corruptions at this point, even in those cases where this extra check
is not performed. Still, it is best to prevent a known hole for
corruption when recreating object data into a new pack.
What about the streamed pack case? Well, any client receiving a pack
must always consider that pack as untrusty and perform full validation
anyway, hence no such stealth corruption could be propagated to remote
repositoryes already. It is therefore worthless doing local validation
in that case.

This is because openssl header files are always included in
git-compat-util.h since commit 684ec6c63c whenever NO_OPENSSL is not
set, which somehow brings in <openssl/sha1.h> clashing with the custom
ARM version. Compilation of git is probably broken on PPC too for the
same reason.
Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h
is imap-send.c. But only moving those problematic includes there
doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the
conflicting local SHA1 header file.
As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references
to SHA1 functions and structure to something git specific, and define those
according to the implementation used.

Earlier, when pushing into a repository that borrows from alternate object
stores, we followed the longstanding design decision not to trust refs in
the alternate repository that houses the object store we are borrowing
from. If your public repository is borrowing from Linus's public
repository, you pushed into it long time ago, and now when you try to push
your updated history that is in sync with more recent history from Linus,
you will end up sending not just your own development, but also the
changes you acquired through Linus's tree, even though the objects needed
for the latter already exists at the receiving end. This is because the
receiving end does not advertise that the objects only reachable from the
borrowed repository (i.e. Linus's) are already available there.
This solves the issue by making the receiving end advertise refs from
borrowed repositories. They are not sent with their true names but with a
phoney name ".have" to make sure that the old senders will safely ignore
them (otherwise, the old senders will misbehave, trying to push matching
refs, and mirror push that deletes refs that only exist at the receiving
end).

When recursing to unpack a delta base we must unuse_pack() so that
the pack window for the current object does not remain pinned in
memory while the delta base is itself being unpacked and materialized
for our use.
On a long delta chain of 50 objects we may need to access 6 different
windows from a very large (>3G) pack file in order to obtain all
of the delta base content. If the process ulimit permits us to
map/allocate only 1.5G we must release windows during this recursion
to ensure we stay within the ulimit and transition memory from pack
cache to standard malloc, or other mmap needs.
Inserting an unuse_pack() call prior to the recursion allows us to
avoid pinning the current window, making it available for garbage
collection if memory runs low.
This has been broken since at least before 1.5.1-rc1, and very
likely earlier than that. Its fixed now. :)

We should be able to fall back to loose objects or alternative packs when
a pack becomes corrupted. This is especially true when an object exists
in one pack only as a delta but its base object is corrupted. Currently
there is no way to retrieve the former object even if the later is
available in another pack or loose.
This patch allows for a delta to be resolved (with a performance cost)
using a base object from a source other than the pack where that delta
is located. Same thing for non-delta objects: rather than failing
outright, a search is made in other packs or used loose when the
currently active pack has it but corrupted.
Of course git will become extremely noisy with error messages when that
happens. However, if the operation succeeds nevertheless, a simple
'git repack -a -f -d' will "fix" the corrupted repository given that all
corrupted objects have a good duplicate somewhere in the object store,
possibly manually copied from another source.

whether a loose object file exists at all.
As such, the whole 'return stat information' part of it was just
pointless (nobody cares any more), and the naming of the function is not
really all that relevant either.
So simplify it to not do a 'stat()', but just an existence check (which
is what the callers want), and rename it to 'has_loose_object()' which
matches the use.

We used to do 'stat()+open()+mmap()+close()' to read the loose object
file data, which does work fine, but has a couple of problems:
- it unnecessarily walks the filename twice (at 'stat()' time and then
again to open it)
- NFS generally has open-close consistency guarantees, which means that
the initial 'stat()' was technically done outside of the normal
consistency rules.
So change it to do 'open()+fstat()+mmap()+close()' instead, which avoids
both these issues.

Instead of creating new temporary objects in the top-level git object
directory, create them in the same directory they will finally end up in
anyway. This avoids making the final atomic "rename to stable name"
operation be a cross-directory event, which makes it a lot easier for
various filesystems.
Several filesystems do things like change the inode number when moving
files across directories (or refuse to do it entirely).
In particular, it can also cause problems for NFS implementations that
change the filehandle of a file when it moves to a different directory,
like the old user-space NFS server did, and like the Linux knfsd still
does if you don't export your filesystems with 'no_subtree_check' or if
you export a filesystem that doesn't have stable inode numbers across
renames).
This change also obviously implies creating the object fan-out
subdirectory at tempfile creation time, rather than at the final
move_temp_to_file() time. Which actually accounts for most of the size
of the patch.

This consolidates the common operations for closing the new temporary file
that we have written, before we move it into place with the final name.
There's some common code there (make it read-only and check for errors on
close), but more importantly, this also gives a single place to add an
fsync_or_die() call if we want to add a safe mode.
This was triggered due to Denis Bueno apparently twice being able to

Currently, when looking for a packed object from the pack idx, a
simple binary search is used.
A conventional binary search loop looks like this:
unsigned lo, hi;
do {
unsigned mi = (lo + hi) / 2;
int cmp = "entry pointed at by mi" minus "target";
if (!cmp)
return mi; "mi is the wanted one"
if (cmp > 0)
hi = mi; "mi is larger than target"
else
lo = mi+1; "mi is smaller than target"
} while (lo < hi);
"did not find what we wanted"
The invariants are:
- When entering the loop, 'lo' points at a slot that is never
above the target (it could be at the target), 'hi' points at
a slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can
never be at the target).
- We find a point 'mi' between 'lo' and 'hi' ('mi' could be
the same as 'lo', but never can be as high as 'hi'), and
check if 'mi' hits the target. There are three cases:
- if it is a hit, we have found what we are looking for;
- if it is strictly higher than the target, we set it to
'hi', and repeat the search.
- if it is strictly lower than the target, we update 'lo'
to one slot after it, because we allow 'lo' to be at the
target and 'mi' is known to be below the target.
If the loop exits, there is no matching entry.
When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
anywhere in between 'lo' and 'hi', as long as lo <= mi < hi is
satisfied. When we somehow know that the distance between the
target and 'lo' is much shorter than the target and 'hi', we
could pick 'mi' that is much closer to 'lo' than (hi+lo)/2,
which a conventional binary search would pick.
This patch takes advantage of the fact that the SHA-1 is a good
hash function, and as long as there are enough entries in the
table, we can expect uniform distribution. An entry that begins
with for example "deadbeef..." is much likely to appear much
later than in the midway of a reasonably populated table. In
fact, it can be expected to be near 87% (222/256) from the top
of the table.
This is a work-in-progress and has switches to allow easier
experiments and debugging. Exporting GIT_USE_LOOKUP environment
variable enables this code.
On my admittedly memory starved machine, with a partial KDE
repository (3.0G pack with 95M idx):

CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:
- false: disable safecrlf mechanism
- warn: warn about irreversible conversions
- true: refuse irreversible conversions
The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.
The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:
- we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
original file.
- for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
we do not not print annoying warnings.
There are exceptions. Even though...
- "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
next checkout would, so the safety triggers;
- "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
safety does not trigger;
- "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To
catch potential problems early, safety triggers.
The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

fast-import was relying on the fact that on most systems mmap() and
write() are synchronized by the filesystem's buffer cache. We were
relying on the ability to mmap() 20 bytes beyond the current end
of the file, then later fill in those bytes with a future write()
call, then read them through the previously obtained mmap() address.
This isn't always true with some implementations of NFS, but it is
especially not true with our NO_MMAP=YesPlease build time option used
on some platforms. If fast-import was built with NO_MMAP=YesPlease
we used the malloc()+pread() emulation and the subsequent write()
call does not update the trailing 20 bytes of a previously obtained
"mmap()" (aka malloc'd) address.
Under NO_MMAP that behavior causes unpack_entry() in sha1_file.c to
be unable to read an object header (or data) that has been unlucky
enough to be written to the packfile at a location such that it
is in the trailing 20 bytes of a window previously opened on that
same packfile.
This bug has gone unnoticed for a very long time as it is highly data
dependent. Not only does the object have to be placed at the right
position, but it also needs to be positioned behind some other object
that has been accessed due to a branch cache invalidation. In other
words the stars had to align just right, and if you did run into
this bug you probably should also have purchased a lottery ticket.
Fortunately the workaround is a lot easier than the bug explanation.
Before we allow unpack_entry() to read data from a pack window
that has also (possibly) been modified through write() we force
all existing windows on that packfile to be closed. By closing
the windows we ensure that any new access via the emulated mmap()
will reread the packfile, updating to the current file content.
This comes at a slight performance degredation as we cannot reuse
previously cached windows when we update the packfile. But it
is a fairly minor difference as the window closes happen at only
two points:
- When the packfile is finalized and its .idx is generated:
At this stage we are getting ready to update the refs and any
data access into the packfile is going to be random, and is
going after only the branch tips (to ensure they are valid).
Our existing windows (if any) are not likely to be positioned
at useful locations to access those final tip commits so we
probably were closing them before anyway.
- When the branch cache missed and we need to reload:
At this point fast-import is getting change commands for the next
commit and it needs to go re-read a tree object it previously
had written out to the packfile. What windows we had (if any)
are not likely to cover the tree in question so we probably were
closing them before anyway.
We do try to avoid unnecessarily closing windows in the second case
by checking to see if the packfile size has increased since the
last time we called unpack_entry() on that packfile. If the size
has not changed then we have not written additional data, and any
existing window is still vaild. This nicely handles the cases where
fast-import is going through a branch cache reload and needs to read
many trees at once. During such an event we are not likely to be
updating the packfile so we do not cycle the windows between reads.
With this change in place t9301-fast-export.sh (which was broken
by c3b0dec509) finally works again.

Under some types of packfile corruption the zlib stream holding the
data for a delta within a packfile may fail to inflate, due to say
a CRC failure within the compressed data itself. When this occurs
the unpack_compressed_entry function will return NULL as a signal to
the caller that the data is not available. Unfortunately we then
tried to use that NULL as though it referenced a memory location
where a delta was stored and tried to apply it to the delta base.
Loading a byte from the NULL address typically causes a SIGSEGV.
cate on #git noticed this failure in `git fsck --full` where the
call to verify_pack() first noticed that the packfile was corrupt
by finding that the packfile's SHA-1 did not match the raw data of
the file. After finding this fsck went ahead and tried to verify
every object within the packfile, even though the packfile was
already known to be bad. If we are going to shovel bad data at

The new name is closer to the purpose of the function.
A NUL-terminated buffer makes things easier when callers need that.
Since the function returns only the memory written with data,
almost always allocating more space than needed because final
size is unknown, an extra NUL terminating the buffer is harmless.
It is not included in the returned size, so the function
remains working as before.
Also, now the function allows the buffer passed to be NULL at first,
and alloc_nr is now used for growing the buffer, instead size=*2.

Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too long
There is no restriction on the length of the name returned by
get_object_directory, other than the fact that it must be a stat'able
git object directory. That means its name may have length up to
PATH_MAX-1 (i.e., often 4095) not counting the trailing NUL.
Combine that with the assumption that the concatenation of that name and
suffixes like "/info/alternates" and "/pack/---long-name---.idx" will fit
in a buffer of length PATH_MAX, and you see the problem. Here's a fix:
sha1_file.c (prepare_packed_git_one): Lengthen "path" buffer
so we are guaranteed to be able to append "/pack/" without checking.
Skip any directory entry that is too long to be appended.
(read_info_alternates): Protect against a similar buffer overrun.
Before this change, using the following admittedly contrived environment
setting would cause many git commands to clobber their stack and segfault
on a system with PATH_MAX == 4096:
t=$(perl -e '$s=".git/objects";$n=(4096-6-length($s))/2;print "./"x$n . $s')
export GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=$t

This is indeed a good heuristic so here it is. The search always start
with the pack where the last object lookup succeeded. If the wanted
object is not available there then the search continues with the normal
pack ordering.
To test this I split the Linux repository into 66 packs and performed a
"time git-rev-list --objects --all > /dev/null". Best results are as
follows:
Pack Sort w/o this patch w/ this patch
-------------------------------------------------------------
recent objects last 26.4s 20.9s
recent objects first 24.9s 18.4s
This shows that the pack order based on object age has some influence,
but that the last-used-pack heuristic is even more significant in
reducing object lookup.

Calling getenv() is not that expensive, but its also not free,
and its certainly not cheaper than testing to see if alt_odb_tail
is not null.
Because we are calling prepare_alt_odb() from within find_sha1_file
every time we cannot find an object file locally we want to skip out
of prepare_alt_odb() as early as possible once we have initialized
our alternate list.

In some repository configurations the user may have many packfiles,
but all of the recent commits/trees/tags/blobs are likely to
be in the most recent packfile (the one with the newest mtime).
It is therefore common to be able to complete an entire operation
by accessing only one packfile, even if there are 25 packfiles
available to the repository.
Rather than opening and mmaping the corresponding .idx file for
every pack found, we now only open and map the .idx when we suspect
there might be an object of interest in there.
Of course we cannot known in advance which packfile contains an
object, so we still need to scan the entire packed_git list to
locate anything. But odds are users want to access objects in the
most recently created packfiles first, and that may be all they
ever need for the current operation.
Junio observed in b867092f that placing recent packfiles before
older ones can slightly improve access times for recent objects,
without degrading it for historical object access.
This change improves upon Junio's observations by trying even harder
to avoid the .idx files that we won't need.

Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.
Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.
This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

Tim Ansell discovered his Debian server didn't permit git-daemon to
use as much memory as it needed to handle cloning a project with
a 128 MiB packfile. Filtering the strace provided by Tim of the
rev-list child showed this gem of a sequence:
open("./objects/pack/pack-*.pack", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE <unfinished ...>
<... open resumed> ) = 5
OK, so the packfile is fd 5...
mmap2(NULL, 33554432, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = 0xb5e2d000
and we mapped one 32 MiB window from it at position 0...
mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
And we asked for another window further into the file. But got
denied. In Tim's case this was due to a resource limit on the
git-daemon process, and its children.
Now where are we in the code? We're down inside use_pack(),
after we have called unuse_one_window() enough times to make sure
we stay within our allowed maximum window size. However since we
didn't unmap the prior window at 0xb5e2d000 we aren't exceeding
the current limit (which probably was just the defaults).
But we're actually down inside xmmap()...
So we release the window we do have (by calling release_pack_memory),
assuming there is some memory pressure...
munmap(0xb5e2d000, 33554432 <unfinished ...>
<... munmap resumed> ) = 0
close(5 <unfinished ...>
<... close resumed> ) = 0
And that was the last window in this packfile. So we closed it.
Way to go us. Our xmmap did not expect release_pack_memory to
close the fd its about to map...
mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
And so the Linux kernel happily tells us f' off.
write(2, "fatal: ", 7 <unfinished ...>
<... write resumed> ) = 7
write(2, "Out of memory? mmap failed: Bad "..., 47 <unfinished ...>
<... write resumed> ) = 47
And we report the bad file descriptor error, and not the ENOMEM,
and die, claiming we are out of memory. But actually that mmap
should have succeeded, as we had enough memory for that window,
seeing as how we released the prior one.
Originally when I developed the sliding window mmap feature I had
this exact same bug in fast-import, and I dealt with it by handing
in the struct packed_git* we want to open the new window for, as the
caller wasn't prepared to reopen the packfile if unuse_one_window
closed it. The same is true here from xmmap, but the caller doesn't
have the struct packed_git* handy. So I'm using the file descriptor
instead to perform the same test.

When creating a new object, we use "deflate(stream, Z_FINISH)" in a loop
until it no longer returns Z_OK, and then we do "deflateEnd()" to finish
up business.
That should all work, but the fact is, it's not how you're _supposed_ to
use the zlib return values properly:
- deflate() should never return Z_OK in the first place, except if we
need to increase the output buffer size (which we're not doing, and
should never need to do, since we pre-allocated a buffer that is
supposed to be able to hold the output in full). So the "while()" loop
was incorrect: Z_OK doesn't actually mean "ok, continue", it means "ok,
allocate more memory for me and continue"!
- if we got an error return, we would consider it to be end-of-stream,
but it could be some internal zlib error. In short, we should check
for Z_STREAM_END explicitly, since that's the only valid return value
anyway for the Z_FINISH case.
- we never checked deflateEnd() return codes at all.
Now, admittedly, none of these issues should ever happen, unless there is
some internal bug in zlib. So this patch should make zero difference, but
it seems to be the right thing to do.
We should probablybe anal and check the return value of "deflateInit()"
too!

The thing is, if the output buffer is empty, we should *still* actually

So we wouldn't use up all the zlib stream, because we felt that we didn't

The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.
We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.
On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.
We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

When accessing objects, we first look for them in packs that
are linked together in the reverse order of discovery.
Since younger packs tend to contain more recent objects, which
are more likely to be accessed often, and local packs tend to
contain objects more relevant to our specific projects, sort the
list of packs before starting to access them. In addition,
favoring local packs over the ones borrowed from alternates can
be a win when alternates are mounted on network file systems.

Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.
On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().
In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms

It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its
conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git
philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do
the file attributes to turn it off on demand.
Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a
[core]
AutoCRLF = true
in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for
Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc).
But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause:
- "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF
- "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF
- "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF
and things work fine.
Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself:
git clone -n git test-crlf
cd test-crlf
git config core.autocrlf true
git checkout
git diff
shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have
actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is
true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index,
because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF.
Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the
filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could
certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename
heuristics into account).
I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case
(git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this
actually works fine.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours
truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat
emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by
default.

three places that read/write working tree files for git
update-index, checkout and diff respectively. That should cover
a lot of it [jc: git-apply uses an entirely different codepath
both for reading and writing].
Some day we can actually implement it. In the meantime, this
points out a place for people to start. We *can* even start with
a really simple "we do CRLF conversion automatically, regardless
of filename" kind of approach, that just look at the data (all
three cases have the _full_ file data already in memory) and
says "ok, this is text, so let's convert to/from DOS format
directly".
THAT somebody can write in ten minutes, and it would already
make git much nicer on a DOS/Windows platform, I suspect.
And it would be totally zero-cost if you just make it a config

did not pass. In this case open_packed_git left pack_fd filled
in, as the file descriptor is valid. We don't want to leak the
file descriptor, nor do we want to allow someone in the future
to use this packed_git.

Matthias Lederhofer identified a race condition where a Git reader
process was able to locate an object in a packed_git index, but
was then preempted while a `git repack -a -d` ran and completed.
By the time the reader was able to seek in the packfile to get the
object data, the packfile no longer existed on disk.
In this particular case the reader process did not attempt to
open the packfile before it was deleted, so it did not already
have the pack_fd field popuplated. With the packfile itself gone,
there was no way for the reader to open it and fetch the data.
I'm fixing the race condition by teaching find_pack_entry to ignore
a packed_git whose packfile is not currently open and which cannot
be opened. If none of the currently known packs can supply the
object, we will return 0 and the caller will decide the object is
not available. If this is the first attempt at finding an object,
the caller will reprepare_packed_git and try again. If it was
the second attempt, the caller will typically return NULL back,
and an error message about a missing object will be reported.
This patch does not address the situation of a reader which is
being starved out by a tight sequence of `git repack -a -d` runs.
In this particular case the reader will try twice, probably fail
both times, and declare the object in question cannot be found.
As it is highly unlikely that a real world `git repack -a -d` can
complete faster than a reader can open a packfile, so I don't think
this is a huge concern.

Because I want to reuse open_packed_git in a context where I don't
want the process to die if the packfile in question is bogus, I'm
changing its behavior to return error("...") rather than die("...")
when it detects something is wrong with the packfile it was given.
Right now we still must die out of use_pack should open_packed_git
fail, as none of use_pack's callers are prepared to handle a failure
from that function.

We used to call find_pack_entry() twice from read_sha1_file() in order
to avoid printing an error message, when the object did not exist. This
is fixed by moving the call to error() to the only place it really
could be called.

Way back when Junio developed the 64 bit index topic he came up
with a means of changing the .idx file format so that older Git
clients would recognize that they don't understand the file and
refuse to read it, while newer clients could tell the difference
between the old-style and new-style .idx files. Unfortunately
this wasn't recorded anywhere.
This change documents how we might go about changing the .idx
file format by using a special signature in the first four bytes.
Credit (and possible blame) goes completely to Junio for thinking
up this technique.
The change also modifies the error message of the current Git code
so that users get a recommendation to upgrade their Git software
should this version or later encounter a new-style .idx which it
cannot process. We already do this for the .pack files, but since
we usually process the .idx files first its important that these
files are recognized and encourage an upgrade.

With the new-and-improved write_in_full() semantics, where a partial write
simply always returns a real error (and always sets 'errno' when that
happens, including for the disk full case), a lot of the callers of
write_in_full() were just unnecessarily complex.
In particular, there's no reason to ever check for a zero length or
return: if the length was zero, we'll return zero, otherwise, if a disk
full resulted in the actual write() system call returning zero the
write_in_full() logic would have correctly turned that into a negative
return value, with 'errno' set to ENOSPC.
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0"
now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones.

We have a number of badly checked write() calls. Often we are
expecting write() to write exactly the size we requested or fail,
this fails to handle interrupts or short writes. Switch to using
the new write_in_full(). Otherwise we at a minimum need to check
for EINTR and EAGAIN, where this is appropriate use xwrite().
Note, the changes to config handling are much larger and handled
in the next patch in the sequence.

In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of
mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are
out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we
would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any
real error output to the user.
We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all
MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call
fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows
to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot
mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our
callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap.

If we are about to fail because this process has run out of memory we
should first try to automatically control our appetite for address
space by releasing enough least-recently-used pack windows to gain
back enough memory such that we might actually be able to meet the
current allocation request.
This should help users who have fairly large repositories but are
working on systems with relatively small virtual address space.
Many times we see reports on the mailing list of these users running
out of memory during various Git operations. Dynamically decreasing
the amount of pack memory used when the demand for heap memory is
increasing is an intelligent solution to this problem.

If a command opens a packfile for only temporary access and does not
install the struct packed_git* into the global packed_git list then
we are unable to unmap any inactive windows within that packed_git,
causing the overall process to exceed core.packedGitLimit.
We cannot force the callers to install their temporary packfile
into the packed_git chain as doing so would allow that (possibly
corrupt but currently being verified) temporary packfile to become
part of the local ODB, which may allow it to be considered for
object resolution when it may not actually be a valid packfile.
So to support unmapping the windows of these temporary packfiles we
also scan the windows of the struct packed_git which was supplied
to use_pack(). Since commands only work with one temporary packfile
at a time scanning the one supplied to use_pack() and all packs
installed into packed_git should cover everything available in
memory.
We also have to be careful to not close the file descriptor of
the packed_git which was handed to use_pack() when all of that
packfile's windows have been unmapped, as we are already past the
open call that would open the packfile and need the file descriptor
to be ready for mmap() after unuse_one_window returns.

This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.
We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset. This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.
In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window. This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.
I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary
buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte
during header parsing. We may decide to revisit this decision in
the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not
actually been proven out by experimental testing.

To support multiple windows per packfile we need to unmap only one
window at a time from that packfile, leaving any other windows in
place and available for reference.
We treat all windows from all packfiles equally; the least recently
used, not-in-use window across all packfiles will always be closed
first.
If we have unmapped all windows in a packfile then we can also close
the packfile's file descriptor as its possible we won't need to map
any window from that file in the near future. This decision about
when to close the pack file descriptor may need to be revisited in
the future after additional testing on several different platforms
can be performed.

When we parse the object header or the delta base reference we
don't bother to loop over use_pack() calls. The reason we don't
need to bother with calling use_pack for each byte accessed is that
use_pack will always promise us at least 20 bytes (really the hash
size) after the offset. This promise from use_pack simplifies a
lot of code in the header parsing logic, as well as helps out the
zlib library by ensuring there's always some data for it to consume
during an inflate call.
