25f3af3f9d Correctly report corrupted objects
The errno check added in commit 3ba7a06 "A loose object is not corrupt
if it cannot be read due to EMFILE" only checked for whether errno is
not ENOENT and thus incorrectly treated "no error" as an error
condition.

Because of that, it never reached the code path that would report that
the object is corrupted and instead caused funny errors like:

  fatal: failed to read object 333c4768ce595793fdab1ef3a036413e2a883853: Success

So we have to extend the check to cover the case in which the object
file was successfully read, but its contents are corrupted.

e050029385 Remove pack file handling dependency from wrapper.o
As v1.7.0-rc0~43 (slim down "git show-index", 2010-01-21) explains,
use of xmalloc() brings in a dependency on zlib, the sha1 lib, and the
rest of git's object file access machinery via try_to_free_pack_memory.
That is overkill when xmalloc is just being used as a convenience
wrapper to exit when no memory is available.

So defer setting try_to_free_pack_memory as try_to_free_routine until
the first packfile is opened in add_packed_git().

After this change, a simple program using xmalloc() and no other
functions will not pull in any code from libgit.a aside from wrapper.o
and usage.o.

58ecbd5ede wrapper: move xmmap() to sha1_file.c
wrapper.o depends on sha1_file.o for a number of reasons.  One is
release_pack_memory().

xmmap function calls mmap, discarding unused pack windows when
necessary to relieve memory pressure.  Simple git programs using
wrapper.o as a friendly libc do not need this functionality.
So move xmmap to sha1_file.o, where release_pack_memory() is.

f2e872aa5e Work around EMFILE when there are too many pack files
When opening any files in the object database, release unused pack
windows if the open(2) syscall fails due to EMFILE (too many open
files in this process).  This allows Git to degrade gracefully on
a repository with thousands of pack files, and a commit stored in
a loose object in the middle of the history.

b6c4ceccb3 read_sha1_file(): report correct name of packfile with a corrupt object
Clarify the error reporting logic by moving the normal codepath (i.e. we
read the object we wanted to read correctly) up and return early.

The logic to report the name of the packfile with a corrupt object,
introduced by e8b15e6 (sha1_file: Show the the type and path to corrupt
objects, 2010-06-10), was totally bogus.  The function that knows which
bad object came from what packfile is has_packed_and_bad(); make it report
which packfile the problem was found.

"Corrupt" is already an adjective, e.g. an object is "corrupt"; we do not
have to say "corrupted object".

e8b15e6156 sha1_file: Show the the type and path to corrupt objects
Change the error message that's displayed when we encounter corrupt
objects to be more specific. We now print the type (loose or packed)
of corrupted objects, along with the full path to the file in
question.

Before:

    $ git cat-file blob 909ef997367880aaf2133bafa1f1a71aa28e09df
    fatal: object 909ef997367880aaf2133bafa1f1a71aa28e09df is corrupted

After:

    $ git cat-file blob 909ef997367880aaf2133bafa1f1a71aa28e09df
    fatal: loose object 909ef997367880aaf2133bafa1f1a71aa28e09df (stored in .git/objects/90/9ef997367880aaf2133bafa1f1a71aa28e09df) is corrupted

Knowing the path helps to quickly analyze what's wrong:

    $ file .git/objects/90/9ef997367880aaf2133bafa1f1a71aa28e09df

560fb6a183 remove over-eager caching in sha1_file_name
This function takes a sha1 and produces a loose object
filename. It caches the location of the object directory so
that it can fill the sha1 information directly without
allocating a new buffer (and in its original incarnation,
without calling getenv(), though these days we cache that
with the code in environment.c).

This cached base directory can become stale, however, if in
a single process git changes the location of the object
directory (e.g., by running setup_work_tree, which will
chdir to the new worktree).

In most cases this isn't a problem, because we tend to set
up the git repository location and do any chdir()s before
actually looking up any objects, so the first lookup will
cache the correct location. In the case of reset --hard,
however, we do something like:

  1. look up the commit object

  2. notice we are doing --hard, run setup_work_tree

  3. look up the tree object to reset

Step (3) fails because our cache object directory value is
bogus.

This patch simply removes the caching. We use a static
buffer instead of allocating one each time (the original
version treated the malloc'd buffer as a static, so there is
no change in calling semantics).

7b64469a36 Allow parse_pack_index on temporary files
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.

40d52ff77b make commit_tree a library function
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
warning to stderr, but we can address those if and when they
come up as inappropriate.

748af44c63 sha1_file: be paranoid when creating loose objects
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
	user    0m23.783s
	sys     0m1.408s

After:

	real    0m26.537s
	user    0m25.175s
	sys     0m1.358s

The overhead is around 5% for full data coherency guarantee.

9892bebafe sha1_file: don't malloc the whole compressed result when writing out objects
There is no real advantage to malloc the whole output buffer and
deflate the data in a single pass when writing loose objects. That is
like only 1% faster while using more memory, especially with large
files where memory usage is far more. It is best to deflate and write
the data out in small chunks reusing the same memory instead.

For example, using 'git add' on a few large files averaging 40 MB ...

Before:

39eea7bdd9 Fix incorrect error check while reading deflated pack data
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

b3118bdc91 sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corrupted
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.

48fb7deb5b Fix big left-shifts of unsigned char
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.

The code implementing this mechanism has been copied more-or-less
from the commit graft code.

This mechanism is used in "read_sha1_file". sha1 passed to this
function that match a ref name in "refs/replace/" are replaced by
the sha1 that has been read in the ref.

We "die" if the replacement recursion depth is too high or if we
can't read the replacement object.

You might end up with a situation where you have tons of pack files, e.g.

691f1a28bf replace direct calls to unlink(2) with unlink_or_warn
This helps to notice when something's going wrong, especially on
systems which lock open files.

I used the following criteria when selecting the code for replacement:
- it was already printing a warning for the unlink failures
- it is in a function which already printing something or is
  called from such a function
- it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only
  called from a builtin main function (cmd_)
- it is in a function which handles emergency exit (signal handlers)
- it is in a function which is obvously cleaning up the lockfiles

be66a6c43d Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().
