When we parse a commit via repo_parse_commit_internal(), if
save_commit_buffer is set we'll stuff the buffer of the object contents
into a cache, overwriting any previous value.
This can result in a leak of that previously cached value, though it's
rare in practice. If we have a value in the cache it would have come
from a previous parse, and during that parse we'd set the object.parsed
flag, causing any subsequent parse attempts to exit without doing any
work.
But it's possible to "unparse" a commit, which we do when registering a
commit graft. And since shallow fetches are implemented using grafts,
the leak is triggered in practice by t5539.
There are a number of possible ways to address this:
1. the unparsing function could clear the cached commit buffer, too. I
think this would work for the case I found, but I'm not sure if
there are other ways to end up in the same state (an unparsed
commit with an entry in the commit buffer cache).
2. when we parse, we could check the buffer cache and prefer it to
reading the contents from the object database. In theory the
contents of a particular sha1 are immutable, but the code in
question is violating the immutability with grafts. So this
approach makes me a bit nervous, although I think it would work in
practice (the grafts are applied to what we parse, but we still
retain the original contents).
3. We could realize the cache is already populated and discard its
contents before overwriting. It's possible some other code could be
holding on to a pointer to the old cache entry (and we'd introduce
a use-after-free), but I think the risk of that is relatively low.
4. The reverse of (3): when the cache is populated, don't bother
saving our new copy. This is perhaps a little weird, since we'll
have just populated the commit struct based on a different buffer.
But the two buffers should be the same, even in the presence of
grafts (as in (2) above).
I went with option 4. It addresses the leak directly and doesn't carry
any risk of breaking other assumptions. And it's the same technique used
by parse_object_buffer() for this situation, though I'm not sure when it
would even come up there. The extra safety has been there since
bd1e17e245 (Make "parse_object()" also fill in commit message buffer
data., 2005-05-25).
This lets us mark t5539 as leak-free.

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

As with the previous patch, we need to swap out single-byte matching for
something like starts_with() to match all bytes of a multi-byte comment
character. But for cases where the buffer is not NUL-terminated (and we
instead have an explicit size or end pointer), it's not safe to use
starts_with(), as it might walk off the end of the buffer.
Let's introduce a new starts_with_mem() that does the same thing but
also accepts the length of the "haystack" str and makes sure not to walk
past it.
Note that in most cases the existing code did not need a length check at
all, since it was written in a way that knew we had at least one byte
available (and that was all we checked). So I had to read each one to
find the appropriate bounds. The one exception is sequencer.c's
add_commented_lines(), where we can actually get rid of the length
check. Just like starts_with(), our starts_with_mem() handles an empty
haystack variable by not matching (assuming a non-empty prefix).
A few notes on the implementation of starts_with_mem():
- it would be equally correct to take an "end" pointer (and indeed,
many of the callers have this and have to subtract to come up with
the length). I think taking a ptr/size combo is a more usual
interface for our codebase, though, and has the added benefit that
the function signature makes it harder to mix up the three
parameters.
- we could obviously build starts_with() on top of this by passing
strlen(str) as the length. But it's possible that starts_with() is a
relatively hot code path, and it should not pay that penalty (it can
generally return an answer proportional to the size of the prefix,
not the whole string).
- it naively feels like xstrncmpz() should be able to do the same
thing, but that's not quite true. If you pass the length of the
haystack buffer, then strncmp() finds that a shorter prefix string
is "less than" than the haystack, even if the haystack starts with
the prefix. If you pass the length of the prefix, then you risk
reading past the end of the haystack if it is shorter than the
prefix. So I think we really do need a new function.

In 7a5d604443 (commit: detect commits that exist in commit-graph but not
in the ODB, 2023-10-31), we have introduced a new object existence check
into `repo_parse_commit_internal()` so that we do not parse commits via
the commit-graph that don't have a corresponding object in the object
database. This new check of course comes with a performance penalty,
which the commit put at around 30% for `git rev-list --topo-order`. But
there are in fact scenarios where the performance regression is even
higher. The following benchmark against linux.git with a fully-build
commit-graph:
Benchmark 1: git.v2.42.1 rev-list --count HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 658.0 ms ± 5.2 ms [User: 613.5 ms, System: 44.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 650.2 ms … 666.0 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 2: git.v2.43.0-rc1 rev-list --count HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 1.333 s ± 0.019 s [User: 1.263 s, System: 0.069 s]
Range (min … max): 1.302 s … 1.361 s 10 runs
Summary
git.v2.42.1 rev-list --count HEAD ran
2.03 ± 0.03 times faster than git.v2.43.0-rc1 rev-list --count HEAD
While it's a noble goal to ensure that results are the same regardless
of whether or not we have a potentially stale commit-graph, taking twice
as much time is a tough sell. Furthermore, we can generally assume that
the commit-graph will be updated by git-gc(1) or git-maintenance(1) as
required so that the case where the commit-graph is stale should not at
all be common.
With that in mind, default-disable GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA and restore
the behaviour and thus performance previous to the mentioned commit. In
order to not be inconsistent, also disable this behaviour by default in
`lookup_commit_in_graph()`, where the object existence check has been
introduced right at its inception via f559d6d45e (revision: avoid
hitting packfiles when commits are in commit-graph, 2021-08-09).
This results in another speedup in commands that end up calling this
function, even though it's less pronounced compared to the above
benchmark. The following has been executed in linux.git with ~1.2
million references:
Benchmark 1: GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=true git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted
Time (mean ± σ): 2.947 s ± 0.003 s [User: 2.412 s, System: 0.534 s]
Range (min … max): 2.943 s … 2.949 s 3 runs
Benchmark 2: GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=false git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted
Time (mean ± σ): 2.724 s ± 0.030 s [User: 2.207 s, System: 0.514 s]
Range (min … max): 2.704 s … 2.759 s 3 runs
Summary
GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=false git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted ran
1.08 ± 0.01 times faster than GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=true git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted
So whereas 7a5d604443 initially introduced the logic to start doing an
object existence check in `repo_parse_commit_internal()` by default, the
updated logic will now instead cause `lookup_commit_in_graph()` to stop
doing the check by default. This behaviour continues to be tweakable by
the user via the GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA environment variable.
Note that this requires us to amend some tests to manually turn on the
paranoid checks again. This is because we cause repository corruption by
manually deleting objects which are part of the commit graph already.
These circumstances shouldn't usually happen in repositories.

Commit graphs can become stale and contain references to commits that do
not exist in the object database anymore. Theoretically, this can lead
to a scenario where we are able to successfully look up any such commit
via the commit graph even though such a lookup would fail if done via
the object database directly.
As the commit graph is mostly intended as a sort of cache to speed up
parsing of commits we do not want to have diverging behaviour in a
repository with and a repository without commit graphs, no matter
whether they are stale or not. As commits are otherwise immutable, the
only thing that we really need to care about is thus the presence or
absence of a commit.
To address potentially stale commit data that may exist in the graph,
our `lookup_commit_in_graph()` function will check for the commit's
existence in both the commit graph, but also in the object database. So
even if we were able to look up the commit's data in the graph, we would
still pretend as if the commit didn't exist if it is missing in the
object database.
We don't have the same safety net in `parse_commit_in_graph_one()`
though. This function is mostly used internally in "commit-graph.c"
itself to validate the commit graph, and this usage is fine. We do
expose its functionality via `parse_commit_in_graph()` though, which
gets called by `repo_parse_commit_internal()`, and that function is in
turn used in many places in our codebase.
For all I can see this function is never used to directly turn an object
ID into a commit object without additional safety checks before or after
this lookup. What it is being used for though is to walk history via the
parent chain of commits. So when commits in the parent chain of a graph
walk are missing it is possible that we wouldn't notice if that missing
commit was part of the commit graph. Thus, a query like `git rev-parse
HEAD~2` can succeed even if the intermittent commit is missing.
It's unclear whether there are additional ways in which such stale
commit graphs can lead to problems. In any case, it feels like this is a
bigger bug waiting to happen when we gain additional direct or indirect
callers of `repo_parse_commit_internal()`. So let's fix the inconsistent
behaviour by checking for object existence via the object database, as
well.
This check of course comes with a performance penalty. The following
benchmarks have been executed in a clone of linux.git with stable tags
added:
Benchmark 1: git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master)

Range (min … max): 13.645 s … 14.038 s 10 runs
Summary
git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master) ran
1.32 ± 0.02 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency)
4.72 ± 0.05 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency)
4.75 ± 0.04 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master)
We look at a ~30% regression in general, but in general we're still a
whole lot faster than without the commit graph. To counteract this, the
new check can be turned off with the `GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA` envvar.

When we write a commit, we include data that is specific to the hash
algorithm, such as parents and the root tree. In order to write both a
SHA-1 commit and a SHA-256 version, we need to convert between them.
However, a straightforward conversion isn't necessarily what we want.
When we sign a commit, we sign its data, so if we create a commit for
SHA-256 and then write a SHA-1 version, we'll still have only signed the
SHA-256 data. While this is valid, it would be better to sign both
forms of data so people using SHA-1 can verify the signatures as well.
Consequently, we don't want to use the standard mapping that occurs when
we write an object. Instead, let's move most of the writing of the
commit into a separate function which is agnostic of the hash algorithm
and which simply writes into a buffer and specify both versions of the
object ourselves.
We can then call this function twice: once with the SHA-256 contents,
and if SHA-1 is enabled, once with the SHA-1 contents. If we're signing
the commit, we then sign both versions and append both signatures to
both buffers. To produce a consistent hash, we always append the
signatures in the order in which Git implemented them: first SHA-1, then
SHA-256.
In order to make this signing code work, we split the commit signing
code into two functions, one which signs the buffer, and one which
appends the signature.

Since 99fb6e04cb (pack-objects: convert to use parse_options(),
2012-02-01) git pack-objects has accepted --no-keep-true-parents, but
this option does the same as --keep-true-parents. That's because it's
defined using OPT_SET_INT with a value of 0, which sets 0 when negated
as well.
Turn --no-keep-true-parents into the opposite of --keep-true-parents by
using OPT_BOOL and storing the option's status directly in a variable
named "grafts_keep_true_parents" instead of in negative form in
"grafts_replace_parents".

The vast majority of files including object-store.h did not need dir.h
nor khash.h. Split the header into two files, and let most just depend
upon object-store-ll.h, while letting the two callers that need it
depend on the full object-store.h.

$ git grep -h include..object-store | sort | uniq -c

The commit object parser has been taught to be a bit more lenient
to parse timestamps on the author/committer line with a malformed
author/committer ident.
* jk/parse-commit-with-malformed-ident:
parse_commit(): describe more date-parsing failure modes
parse_commit(): handle broken whitespace-only timestamp
parse_commit(): parse timestamp from end of line
t4212: avoid putting git on left-hand side of pipe
The previous few commits improved the parsing of dates in malformed
commit objects. But there's one big case left implicit: we may still
feed garbage to parse_timestamp(). This is preferable to trying to be
more strict, but let's document the thinking in a comment.

The comment in parse_commit_date() claims that parse_timestamp() will
not walk past the end of the buffer we've been given, since it will hit
the newline at "eol" and stop. This is usually true, when dateptr
contains actual numbers to parse. But with a line like:
committer name <email> \n
with just whitespace, and no numbers, parse_timestamp() will consume
that newline as part of the leading whitespace, and we may walk past our
"tail" pointer (which itself is set from the "size" parameter passed in
to parse_commit_buffer()).
In practice this can't cause us to walk off the end of an array, because
we always add an extra NUL byte to the end of objects we load from disk
(as a defense against exactly this kind of bug). However, you can see
the behavior in action when "committer" is the final header (which it
usually is, unless there's an encoding) and the subject line can be
parsed as an integer. We walk right past the newline on the committer
line, as well as the "\n\n" separator, and mistake the subject for the
timestamp.
We can solve this by trimming the whitespace ourselves, making sure that
it has some non-whitespace to parse. Note that we need to be a bit
careful about the definition of "whitespace" here, as our isspace()
doesn't match exotic characters like vertical tab or formfeed. We can
work around that by checking for an actual number (see the in-code
comment). This is slightly more restrictive than the current code, but
in practice the results are either the same (we reject "foo" as "0", but
so would parse_timestamp()) or extremely unlikely even for broken
commits (parse_timestamp() would allow "\v123" as "123", but we'll now
make it "0").
I did also allow "-" here, which may be controversial, as we don't
currently support negative timestamps. My reasoning was two-fold. One,
the design of parse_timestamp() is such that we should be able to easily
switch it to handling signed values, and this otherwise creates a
hard-to-find gotcha that anybody doing that work would get tripped up
on. And two, the status quo is that we currently parse them, though the
result of course ends up as a very large unsigned value (which is likely
to just get clamped to "0" for display anyway, since our date routines
can't handle it).
The new test checks the commit parser (via "--until") for both vanilla
spaces and the vertical-tab case. I also added a test to check these
against the pretty-print formatter, which uses split_ident_line(). It's
not subject to the same bug, because it already insists that there be
one or more digits in the timestamp.

To find the committer timestamp, we parse left-to-right looking for the
closing ">" of the email, and then expect the timestamp right after
that. But we've seen some broken cases in the wild where this fails, but
we _could_ find the timestamp with a little extra work. E.g.:
Name <Name<email>> 123456789 -0500
This means that features that rely on the committer timestamp, like
--since or --until, will treat the commit as happening at time 0 (i.e.,
1970).
This is doubly confusing because the pretty-print parser learned to
handle these in 03818a4a94 (split_ident: parse timestamp from end of
line, 2013-10-14). So printing them via "git show", etc, makes
everything look normal, but --until, etc are still broken (despite the
fact that that commit explicitly mentioned --until!).
So let's use the same trick as 03818a4a94: find the end of the line, and
parse back to the final ">". In theory we could use split_ident_line()
here, but it's actually a bit more strict. In particular, it requires a
valid time-zone token, too. That should be present, of course, but we
wouldn't want to break --until for cases that are working currently.
We might want to teach split_ident_line() to become more lenient there,
but it would require checking its many callers (since right now they can
assume that if date_start is non-NULL, so is tz_start).
So for now we'll just reimplement the same trick in the commit parser.
The test is in t4212, which already covers similar cases, courtesy of
03818a4a94. We'll just adjust the broken commit to munge both the author
and committer timestamps. Note that we could match (author|committer)
here, but alternation can't be used portably in sed. Since we wouldn't
expect to see ">" except as part of an ident line, we can just match
that character on any line.
