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).

When debugging Git, the criss-cross spawning of processes can make
things quite a bit difficult, especially when a Unix shell script is
thrown in the mix that calls a `git.exe` that then segfaults.
To help debugging such things, we introduce the `open_in_gdb()` function
which can be called at a code location where the segfault happens (or as
close as one can get); This will open a new MinTTY window with a GDB
that already attached to the current process.

Forbid pathnames that the platform's filesystem cannot represent on

* js/mingw-reserved-filenames:
mingw: refuse paths containing reserved names
mingw: short-circuit the conversion of `/dev/null` to UTF-16
There are a couple of reserved names that cannot be file names on
Windows, such as `AUX`, `NUL`, etc. For an almost complete list, see
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file
If one would try to create a directory named `NUL`, it would actually
"succeed", i.e. the call would return success, but nothing would be
created.
Worse, even adding a file extension to the reserved name does not make
it a valid file name. To understand the rationale behind that behavior,
see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20031022-00/?p=42073

Over a decade ago, in 25fe217b86 (Windows: Treat Windows style path
names., 2008-03-05), Git was taught to handle absolute Windows paths,
i.e. paths that start with a drive letter and a colon.
Unbeknownst to us, while drive letters of physical drives are limited to
letters of the English alphabet, there is a way to assign virtual drive
letters to arbitrary directories, via the `subst` command, which is
_not_ limited to English letters.
It is therefore possible to have absolute Windows paths of the form
`1:\what\the\hex.txt`. Even "better": pretty much arbitrary Unicode
letters can also be used, e.g. `ä:\tschibät.sch`.
While it can be sensibly argued that users who set up such funny drive
letters really seek adverse consequences, the Windows Operating System
is known to be a platform where many users are at the mercy of
administrators who have their very own idea of what constitutes a
reasonable setup.
Therefore, let's just make sure that such funny paths are still
considered absolute paths by Git, on Windows.
In addition to Unicode characters, pretty much any character is a valid
drive letter, as far as `subst` is concerned, even `:` and `"` or even a
space character. While it is probably the opposite of smart to use them,
let's safeguard `is_dos_drive_prefix()` against all of them.
Note: `[::1]:repo` is a valid URL, but not a valid path on Windows.
As `[` is now considered a valid drive letter, we need to be very
careful to avoid misinterpreting such a string as valid local path in
`url_is_local_not_ssh()`. To do that, we use the just-introduced
function `is_valid_path()` (which will label the string as invalid file
name because of the colon characters).
This fixes CVE-2019-1351.

Certain characters are not admissible in file names on Windows, even if
Cygwin/MSYS2 (and therefore, Git for Windows' Bash) pretend that they
are, e.g. `:`, `<`, `>`, etc
Let's disallow those characters explicitly in Windows builds of Git.
Note: just like trailing spaces or periods, it _is_ possible on Windows
to create commits adding files with such illegal characters, as long as
the operation leaves the worktree untouched. To allow for that, we
continue to guard `is_valid_win32_path()` behind the config setting
`core.protectNTFS`, so that users _can_ continue to do that, as long as
they turn the protections off via that config setting.
Among other problems, this prevents Git from trying to write to an "NTFS
Alternate Data Stream" (which refers to metadata stored alongside a
file, under a special name: "<filename>:<stream-name>"). This fix
therefore also prevents an attack vector that was exploited in
demonstrations of a number of recently-fixed security bugs.

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 for Windows has special code to retrieve the command-line parameters
(and even the environment) in UTF-16 encoding, so that they can be
converted to UTF-8. This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to
use UTF-8 encoded strings throughout its code, and the main() function
does not get the parameters in that encoding.
To do that, we used the __wgetmainargs() function, which is not even a
Win32 API function, but provided by the MINGW "runtime" instead.
Obviously, this method would not work with any compiler other than GCC,
and in preparation for compiling with Visual C++, we would like to avoid
precisely that.
Lucky us, there is a much more elegant way: we can simply implement the
UTF-16 variant of `main()`: `wmain()`.
To make that work, we need to link with -municode. The command-line
parameters are passed to `wmain()` encoded in UTF-16, as desired, and
this method also works with GCC, and also with Visual C++ after
adjusting the MSVC linker flags to force it to use `wmain()`.

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.

A regression for cygwin users was introduced with commit 05b458c,
"real_path: resolve symlinks by hand".
In the the commit message we read:
The current implementation of real_path uses chdir() in order to resolve
symlinks. Unfortunately this isn't thread-safe as chdir() affects a
process as a whole...
The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been
replaced by a string operation.
The cygwin layer "knows" that "C:\cygwin" is an absolute path,
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'
The solution is to implement has_dos_drive_prefix(), skip_dos_drive_prefix()
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]
Extract the needed code into compat/win32/path-utils.[ch] and use it

Since a9b8a09c3c (mingw: replace isatty() hack, 2016-12-22), we handle
isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file descriptors,
caching the return value. However, we missed the case where dup2()
overrides the respective file descriptor.
That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very
early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the
return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently,
`cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should
happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and
consequently stdout should be left alone.
Let's override dup2() to handle this appropriately.

On Windows, the authoritative environment is encoded in UTF-16. In Git
for Windows, we convert that to UTF-8 (because UTF-16 is *such* a
foreign idea to Git that its source code is unprepared for it).
Previously, out of performance concerns, we converted the entire
environment to UTF-8 in one fell swoop at the beginning, and upon
putenv() and run_command() converted it back.
Having a private copy of the environment comes with its own perils: when
a library used by Git's source code tries to modify the environment, it
does not really work (in Git for Windows' case, libcurl, see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/bcad1e6d58^...bcad1e6d58^2
for a glimpse of the issues).
Hence, it makes our environment handling substantially more robust if we
switch to on-the-fly-conversion in `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls. Based
on an initial version in the MSVC context by Jeff Hostetler, this patch
makes it so.
Surprisingly, this has a *positive* effect on speed: at the time when
the current code was written, we tested the performance, and there were
*so many* `getenv()` calls that it seemed better to convert everything
in one go. In the meantime, though, Git has obviously been cleaned up a
bit with regards to `getenv()` calls so that the Git processes spawned
by the test suite use an average of only 40 `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls
over the process lifetime.
Speaking of the entire test suite: the total time spent in the
re-encoding in the current code takes about 32.4 seconds (out of 113
minutes runtime), whereas the code introduced in this patch takes only
about 8.2 seconds in total. Not much, but it proves that we need not be
concerned about the performance impact introduced by this patch.

Note: This can cause performance issues when using Git variants with
different file time resolutions, as the timestamps are stored in the Git

On Windows, strftime() does not silently ignore invalid formats, but
warns about them and then returns 0 and sets errno to EINVAL.
Unfortunately, Git does not expect such a behavior, as it disagrees
with strftime()'s semantics on Linux. As a consequence, Git
misinterprets the return value 0 as "I need more space" and grows the
buffer. As the larger buffer does not fix the format, the buffer grows
and grows and grows until we are out of memory and abort.
Ideally, we would switch off the parameter validation just for
strftime(), but we cannot even override the invalid parameter handler
via _set_thread_local_invalid_parameter_handler() using MINGW because
that function is not declared. Even _set_invalid_parameter_handler(),
which *is* declared, does not help, as it simply does... nothing.
So let's just bite the bullet and override strftime() for MINGW and
abort on an invalid format string. While this does not provide the
best user experience, it is the best we can do.

"foo\bar\baz" in "git fetch foo\bar\baz", even though there is no
slashes in it, cannot be a nickname for a remote on Windows, as
that is likely to be a pathname on a local filesystem.
* js/bs-is-a-dir-sep-on-windows:
Windows: do not treat a path with backslashes as a remote's nick name
mingw.h: permit arguments with side effects for is_dir_sep
Taking git-compat-util.h's cue (which uses an inline function to back
is_dir_sep()), let's use an inline function to back also the Windows
version of is_dir_sep(). This avoids problems when calling the function
with arguments that do more than just provide a single character, e.g.
incrementing a pointer. Example:
is_dir_sep(*p++)

When Git's source code calls isatty(), it really asks whether the
respective file descriptor is connected to an interactive terminal.
Windows' _isatty() function, however, determines whether the file
descriptor is associated with a character device. And NUL, Windows'
equivalent of /dev/null, is a character device.
Which means that for years, Git mistakenly detected an associated
interactive terminal when being run through the test suite, which
almost always redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to /dev/null.
This bug only became obvious, and painfully so, when the new
bisect--helper entered the `pu` branch and made the automatic build & test
time out because t6030 was waiting for an answer.

The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open
a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then
finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either
removing or renaming the temporary file. When the process spawns a
subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the
subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is
made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has
the file descriptor still open. Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag
to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT).
* bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile:
mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes
t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles
On Windows, help.browser configuration variable used to be ignored,
which has been corrected.
* js/no-html-bypass-on-windows:
Revert "display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API"
There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
make it harder to make mistakes.
* jk/common-main:
mingw: declare main()'s argv as const
common-main: call git_setup_gettext()
common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default()
common-main: call sanitize_stdfds()
common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path()
add an extra level of indirection to main()
When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to
said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the
child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work
because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them.
The symptom:
Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed.
Should I try again? (y/n)
Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work
because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx
handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr).
Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g.
git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles.
This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the
O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our
purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on
Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and
map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows.
As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where
the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux
kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL.
This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

Since 4804aab (help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using
Windows' shell API, 2008-07-13), Git for Windows used to call
`ShellExecute()` to launch the default Windows handler for `.html`
files.
The idea was to avoid going through a shell script, for performance
reasons.
However, this change ignores the `help.browser` config setting. Together
with browsing help not being a performance-critical operation, let's
just revert that patch.

Recent update to "git daemon" tries to enable the socket-level
KEEPALIVE, but when it is spawned via inetd, the standard input
file descriptor may not necessarily be connected to a socket.
Suppress an ENOTSOCK error from setsockopt().
* ew/daemon-socket-keepalive:
Windows: add missing definition of ENOTSOCK
daemon: ignore ENOTSOCK from setsockopt
The previous commit introduced the first use of ENOTSOCK. This macro is
not available on Windows. Define it as WSAENOTSOCK because that is the
corresponding error value reported by the Windows versions of socket
functions.

In 84d32bf (sparse: Fix mingw_main() argument number/type errors,
2013-04-27), we addressed problems identified by the 'sparse' tool where
argv was declared inconsistently. The way we addressed it was by casting
from the non-const version to the const-version.
This patch is long overdue, fixing compat/mingw.h's declaration to
make the "argv" parameter const. This also allows us to lose the
"const" trickery introduced earlier to common-main.c:main().

explicitly. Let's just fix them.
