push: the beginning of "git push --signed" While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my 'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so the signature on the object alone is insufficient. The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later. Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate" (for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an orthogonal axis. The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this: 1. You push out your work with "git push --signed". 2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual, together with what protocol extension the receiving end supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails. Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is prepared in core: certificate version 0.1 pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700 7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master 3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable, falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows, followed by a copy of the protocol message lines. Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It is expected that new command packet types other than the old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in unsigned pushes. The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG, formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed, and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack). In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in turn comes before it sends the pack data. 3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable, which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be a good place to log all the received certificates for later audits. Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead. This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to review (in other words, the series at this step should never be released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one). As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of this step. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static buffer Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine in practice, because: 1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000 characters. 2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself to 1000 byte packets. However, the only limit given in the protocol specification in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write, not as a specific limit for readers. This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a packet where this makes a difference, there are two good reasons to do this: 1. Other git implementations may have followed protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We don't bump into it in practice because it would involve very long ref names. 2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day. Since packets are transferred before any capabilities, it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can handle, eventually older versions of git will be obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the clock ticking now. Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX buffers. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlines The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is short, we end up doing it in a lot of places. This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline chomping code. As a result, some call-sites which are not reading line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all of the existing callsites. Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later patch in this series will change the signature, such a commit would have to be merged directly into this commit, not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the issue. This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000") and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically, even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says we must not; it also says that implementations should not send an empty pkt-line. By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n") the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols (at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not make doing so any harder.

It is expected that new command packet types other than the old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in unsigned pushes. The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG, formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed, and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack).

send-pack: close demux pipe before finishing async process This fixes a deadlock on the client side when pushing a large number of refs from a corrupted repo. There's a reproduction script below, but let's start with a human-readable explanation. The client side of a push goes something like this: 1. Start an async process to demux sideband coming from the server. 2. Run pack-objects to send the actual pack, and wait for its status via finish_command(). 3. If pack-objects failed, abort immediately. 4. If pack-objects succeeded, read the per-ref status from the server, which is actually coming over a pipe from the demux process started in step 1. We run finish_async() to wait for and clean up the demux process in two places. In step 3, if we see an error, we want it to end early. And after step 4, it should be done writing any data and we are just cleaning it up. Let's focus on the error case first. We hand the output descriptor to the server over to pack-objects. So by the time it has returned an error to us, it has closed the descriptor and the server has gotten EOF. The server will mark all refs as failed with "unpacker error" and send us back the status for each (followed by EOF). This status goes to the demuxer thread, which relays it over a pipe to the main thread. But the main thread never even tries reading the status. It's trying to bail because of the pack-objects error, and is waiting for the demuxer thread to finish. If there are a small number of refs, that's OK; the demuxer thread writes into the pipe buffer, sees EOF from the server, and quits. But if there are a large number of refs, it may block on write() back to the main thread, leading to a deadlock (the main thread is waiting for the demuxer to finish, the demuxer is waiting for the main thread to read). We can break this deadlock by closing the pipe between the demuxer and the main thread before calling finish_async(). Then the demuxer gets a write() error and exits. The non-error case usually just works, because we will have read all of the data from the other side. We do close demux.out already, but we only do so _after_ calling finish_async(). This is OK because there shouldn't be any more data coming from the server. But technically we've only read to a flush packet, and a broken or malicious server could be sending more cruft. In such a case, we would hit the same deadlock. Closing the pipe first doesn't affect the normal case, and means that for a cruft-sending server, we'll notice a write() error rather than deadlocking. Note that when write() sees this error, we'll actually deliver SIGPIPE to the thread, which will take down the whole process (unless we're compiled with NO_PTHREADS).

send-pack: close demux pipe before finishing async process This fixes a deadlock on the client side when pushing a large number of refs from a corrupted repo. There's a reproduction script below, but let's start with a human-readable explanation. The client side of a push goes something like this: 1. Start an async process to demux sideband coming from the server. 2. Run pack-objects to send the actual pack, and wait for its status via finish_command(). 3. If pack-objects failed, abort immediately. 4. If pack-objects succeeded, read the per-ref status from the server, which is actually coming over a pipe from the demux process started in step 1. We run finish_async() to wait for and clean up the demux process in two places. In step 3, if we see an error, we want it to end early. And after step 4, it should be done writing any data and we are just cleaning it up. Let's focus on the error case first. We hand the output descriptor to the server over to pack-objects. So by the time it has returned an error to us, it has closed the descriptor and the server has gotten EOF. The server will mark all refs as failed with "unpacker error" and send us back the status for each (followed by EOF). This status goes to the demuxer thread, which relays it over a pipe to the main thread. But the main thread never even tries reading the status. It's trying to bail because of the pack-objects error, and is waiting for the demuxer thread to finish. If there are a small number of refs, that's OK; the demuxer thread writes into the pipe buffer, sees EOF from the server, and quits. But if there are a large number of refs, it may block on write() back to the main thread, leading to a deadlock (the main thread is waiting for the demuxer to finish, the demuxer is waiting for the main thread to read). We can break this deadlock by closing the pipe between the demuxer and the main thread before calling finish_async(). Then the demuxer gets a write() error and exits. The non-error case usually just works, because we will have read all of the data from the other side. We do close demux.out already, but we only do so _after_ calling finish_async(). This is OK because there shouldn't be any more data coming from the server. But technically we've only read to a flush packet, and a broken or malicious server could be sending more cruft. In such a case, we would hit the same deadlock. Closing the pipe first doesn't affect the normal case, and means that for a cruft-sending server, we'll notice a write() error rather than deadlocking. Note that when write() sees this error, we'll actually deliver SIGPIPE to the thread, which will take down the whole process (unless we're compiled with NO_PTHREADS). This isn't ideal, but it's an improvement over the status quo, which is deadlocking. And SIGPIPE handling in async threads is a bigger problem that we can deal with separately. A simple reproduction for the error case is below. It's technically racy (we could exit the main process and take down the async thread with us before it even reads the status), though in practice it seems to fail pretty consistently. git init repo && cd repo && # make some commits; we need two so we can simulate corruption # in the history later. git commit --allow-empty -m one && one=$(git rev-parse HEAD) && git commit --allow-empty -m two && two=$(git rev-parse HEAD) && # now make a ton of refs; our goal here is to overflow the pipe buffer # when reporting the ref status, which will cause the demuxer to block # on write() for i in $(seq 20000); do echo "create refs/heads/this-is-a-really-long-branch-name-$i $two" done | git update-ref --stdin && # now make a corruption in the history such that pack-objects will fail rm -vf .git/objects/$(echo $one | sed 's}..}&/}') && # and then push the result git init --bare dst.git && git push --mirror dst.git Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
