Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our
historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot
represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a
separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish
timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good
move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the
timestamp_t.

Make the verify_pack_callback take a pointer to struct object_id.
Change the pack checksum to use GIT_MAX_RAWSZ, even though it is not
strictly an object ID. Doing so ensures resilience against future hash
size changes, and allows us to remove hard-coded assumptions about how
big the buffer needs to be.
Also, use a union to convert the pointer from nth_packed_object_sha1 to
to a pointer to struct object_id. This behavior is compatible with GCC
and clang and explicitly sanctioned by C11. The alternatives are to
just perform a cast, which would run afoul of strict aliasing rules, but
should just work, and changing the pointer into an instance of struct
object_id and copying the value. The latter operation could seriously
bloat memory usage on fsck, which already uses a lot of memory on some
repositories.

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were
unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them.
There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows,
time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch
away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type.
So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being
defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for
timestamps.

Teach fsck to force this verification.

"git fsck --connectivity-check" was not working at all.
* jk/fsck-connectivity-check-fix:

fsck: tighten error-checks of "git fsck <head>"
fsck: prepare dummy objects for --connectivity-check
fsck: report trees as dangling
t1450: clean up sub-objects in duplicate-entry test
The recent fixes to "fsck --connectivity-only" load all of
the objects with their correct types. This keeps the
connectivity-only code path close to the regular one, but it
also introduces some unnecessary inefficiency. While getting
the type of an object is cheap compared to actually opening
and parsing the object (as the non-connectivity-only case
would do), it's still not free.
For reachable non-blob objects, we end up having to parse
them later anyway (to see what they point to), making our
type lookup here redundant.
For unreachable objects, we might never hit them at all in
the reachability traversal, making the lookup completely
wasted. And in some cases, we might have quite a few
unreachable objects (e.g., when alternates are used for
shared object storage between repositories, it's normal for
there to be objects reachable from other repositories but
not the one running fsck).
The comment in mark_object_for_connectivity() claims two
benefits to getting the type up front:
1. We need to know the types during fsck_walk(). (And not
explicitly mentioned, but we also need them when
printing the types of broken or dangling commits).
We can address this by lazy-loading the types as
necessary. Most objects never need this lazy-load at
all, because they fall into one of these categories:
a. Reachable from our tips, and are coerced into the
correct type as we traverse (e.g., a parent link
will call lookup_commit(), which converts OBJ_NONE
to OBJ_COMMIT).
b. Unreachable, but not at the tip of a chunk of
unreachable history. We only mention the tips as
"dangling", so an unreachable commit which links
to hundreds of other objects needs only report the
type of the tip commit.
2. It serves as a cross-check that the coercion in (1a) is
correct (i.e., we'll complain about a parent link that
points to a blob). But we get most of this for free
already, because right after coercing, we'll parse any
non-blob objects. So we'd notice then if we expected a
commit and got a blob.
The one exception is when we expect a blob, in which
case we never actually read the object contents.
So this is a slight weakening, but given that the whole
point of --connectivity-only is to sacrifice some data
integrity checks for speed, this seems like an
acceptable tradeoff.
Here are before and after timings for an extreme case with
~5M reachable objects and another ~12M unreachable (it's the
torvalds/linux repository on GitHub, connected to shared
storage for all of the other kernel forks):

When an object has a problem, we mention its type. But we do
so by feeding the result of typename() directly to
fprintf(). This is potentially dangerous because typename()
can return NULL for some type values (like OBJ_NONE).
It's doubtful that this can be triggered in practice with
the current code, so this is probably not fixing a bug. But
it future-proofs us against modifications that make things
like OBJ_NONE more likely (and gives future patches a
central point to handle them).

There are two spots that call lookup_object() and assume
that a non-NULL result means we have the object:
1. When we're checking the objects given to us by the user
on the command line.
2. When we're checking if a reflog entry is valid.
This generally follows fsck's mental model that we will have
looked at and loaded a "struct object" for each object in
the repository. But it misses one case: if another object
_mentioned_ an object, but we didn't actually parse it or
verify that it exists, it will still have a struct.
It's not clear if this is a triggerable bug or not.
Certainly the later parts of the reachability check need to
be careful of this, and do so by checking the HAS_OBJ flag.
But both of these steps happen before we start traversing,
so probably we won't have followed any links yet. Still,
it's easy enough to be defensive here.

Since fsck tries to continue as much as it can after seeing
an error, we still do the reachability check even if some
heads we were given on the command-line are bogus. But if
_none_ of the heads is is valid, we fallback to checking all
refs and the index, which is not what the user asked for at
all.
Instead of checking "heads", the number of successful heads
we got, check "argc" (which we know only has non-options in
it, because parse_options removed the others).

Instead of checking reachability from the refs, you can ask
fsck to check from a particular set of heads. However, the
error checking here is quite lax. In particular:
1. It claims lookup_object() will report an error, which
is not true. It only does a hash lookup, and the user
has no clue that their argument was skipped.
2. When either the name or sha1 cannot be resolved, we
continue to exit with a successful error code, even
though we didn't check what the user asked us to.
This patch fixes both of these cases.

Normally fsck makes a pass over all objects to check their
integrity, and then follows up with a reachability check to
make sure we have all of the referenced objects (and to know
which ones are dangling). The latter checks for the HAS_OBJ
flag in obj->flags to see if we found the object in the
first pass.
Commit 02976bf85 (fsck: introduce `git fsck --connectivity-only`,
2015-06-22) taught fsck to skip the initial pass, and to
fallback to has_sha1_file() instead of the HAS_OBJ check.
However, it converted only one HAS_OBJ check to use
has_sha1_file(). But there are many other places in
builtin/fsck.c that assume that the flag is set (or that
lookup_object() will return an object at all). This leads to
several bugs with --connectivity-only:
1. mark_object() will not queue objects for examination,
so recursively following links from commits to trees,
etc, did nothing. I.e., we were checking the
reachability of hardly anything at all.
2. When a set of heads is given on the command-line, we
use lookup_object() to see if they exist. But without
the initial pass, we assume nothing exists.
3. When loading reflog entries, we do a similar
lookup_object() check, and complain that the reflog is
broken if the object doesn't exist in our hash.
So in short, --connectivity-only is broken pretty badly, and
will claim that your repository is fine when it's not.
Presumably nobody noticed for a few reasons.
One is that the embedded test does not actually test the
recursive nature of the reachability check. All of the
missing objects are still in the index, and we directly
check items from the index. This patch modifies the test to
delete the index, which shows off breakage (1).
Another is that --connectivity-only just skips the initial
pass for loose objects. So on a real repository, the packed
objects were still checked correctly. But on the flipside,
it means that "git fsck --connectivity-only" still checks
the sha1 of all of the packed objects, nullifying its
original purpose of being a faster git-fsck.
And of course the final problem is that the bug only shows
up when there _is_ corruption, which is rare. So anybody
running "git fsck --connectivity-only" proactively would
assume it was being thorough, when it was not.
One possibility for fixing this is to find all of the spots
that rely on HAS_OBJ and tweak them for the connectivity-only
case. But besides the risk that we might miss a spot (and I
found three already, corresponding to the three bugs above),
there are other parts of fsck that _can't_ work without a
full list of objects. E.g., the list of dangling objects.
Instead, let's make the connectivity-only case look more
like the normal case. Rather than skip the initial pass
completely, we'll do an abbreviated one that sets up the
HAS_OBJ flag for each object, without actually loading the
object data.
That's simple and fast, and we don't have to care about the
connectivity_only flag in the rest of the code at all.
While we're at it, let's make sure we treat loose and packed
objects the same (i.e., setting up dummy objects for both
and skipping the actual sha1 check). That makes the
connectivity-only check actually fast on a real repo (40
seconds versus 180 seconds on my copy of linux.git).

After checking connectivity, fsck looks through the list of
any objects we've seen mentioned, and reports unreachable
and un-"used" ones as dangling. However, it skips any object
which is not marked as "parsed", as that is an object that
we _don't_ have (but that somebody mentioned).
Since 6e454b9a3 (clear parsed flag when we free tree
buffers, 2013-06-05), that flag can't be relied on, and the
correct method is to check the HAS_OBJ flag. The cleanup in
that commit missed this callsite, though. As a result, we
would generally fail to report dangling trees.
We never noticed because there were no tests in this area
(for trees or otherwise). Let's add some.

When we iterate over the list of loose objects to check, we
get the actual path of each object. But we then throw it
away and pass just the sha1 to fsck_sha1(), which will do a
fresh lookup. Usually it would find the same object, but it
may not if an object exists both as a loose and a packed
object. We may end up checking the packed object twice, and
never look at the loose one.
In practice this isn't too terrible, because if fsck doesn't
complain, it means you have at least one good copy. But
since the point of fsck is to look for corruption, we should
be thorough.
The new read_loose_object() interface can help us get the
data from disk, and then we replace parse_object() with
parse_object_buffer(). As a bonus, our error messages now
mention the path to a corrupted object, which should make it
easier to track down errors when they do happen.

The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.
It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.
Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

For blobs, we want to make sure the on-disk data is not corrupted
(i.e. can be inflated and produce the expected SHA-1). Blob content is
opaque, there's nothing else inside to check for.
For really large blobs, we may want to avoid unpacking the entire blob
in memory, just to check whether it produces the same SHA-1. On 32-bit
systems, we may not have enough virtual address space for such memory
allocation. And even on 64-bit where it's not a problem, allocating a
lot more memory could result in kicking other parts of systems to swap
file, generating lots of I/O and slowing everything down.
For this particular operation, not unpacking the blob and letting
check_sha1_signature, which supports streaming interface, do the job
is sufficient. check_sha1_signature() is not shown in the diff,
unfortunately. But if will be called when "data_valid && !data" is
false.
We will call the callback function "fn" with NULL as "data". The only
callback of this function is fsck_obj_buffer(), which does not touch
"data" at all if it's a blob.

Fsck tries to access loose objects in order of inode number,

on a spinning disk. This dates back to 7e8c174 (fsck-cache:

the invention of packfiles.
These days, there's not much point in trying to optimize
cold cache for a large number of loose objects. You are much
better off to simply pack the objects, which will reduce the
disk footprint _and_ provide better locality of data access.
So while you can certainly construct pathological cases
where this code might help, it is not worth the trouble

None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're
worth converting away from git_path because:
1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases.
2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it
hard to tell whether they're safe or not.
The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an

Identical to support in `git receive-pack for the config option
`receive.fsck.skiplist`, we now support ignoring given objects in
`git fsck` via `fsck.skiplist` altogether.
This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would
cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them
(e.g. a duplicate 'author' line in an early commit object).

We already have support in `git receive-pack` to deal with some legacy
repositories which have non-fatal issues.
Let's make `git fsck` itself useful with such repositories, too, by
allowing users to ignore known issues, or at least demote those issues
to mere warnings.
Example: `git -c fsck.missingEmail=ignore fsck` would hide
problems with missing emails in author, committer and tagger lines.
In the same spirit that `git receive-pack`'s usage of the fsck machinery
differs from `git fsck`'s – some of the non-fatal warnings in `git fsck`
are fatal with `git receive-pack` when receive.fsckObjects = true, for
example – we strictly separate the fsck.<msg-id> from the
receive.fsck.<msg-id> settings.

Instead of specifying whether a message by the fsck machinery constitutes
an error or a warning, let's specify an identifier relating to the
concrete problem that was encountered. This is necessary for upcoming
support to be able to demote certain errors to warnings.
In the process, simplify the requirements on the calling code: instead of
having to handle full-blown varargs in every callback, we now send a
string buffer ready to be used by the callback.
We could use a simple enum for the message IDs here, but we want to
guarantee that the enum values are associated with the appropriate
message types (i.e. error or warning?). Besides, we want to introduce a
parser in the next commit that maps the string representation to the
enum value, hence we use the slightly ugly preprocessor construct that
is extensible for use with said parser.

Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"
parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1".
To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().
This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be
rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX
length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the
whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory.
After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just
enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never
write beyond that.
Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const
buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all.
This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const"
conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref
resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be

we want this behaviour.
While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output
arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can
catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited.

* jk/fsck-exit-code-fix:
fsck: return non-zero status on missing ref tips
fsck: exit with non-zero status upon error from fsck_obj()
Fsck tries hard to detect missing objects, and will complain
(and exit non-zero) about any inter-object links that are
missing. However, it will not exit non-zero for any missing
ref tips, meaning that a severely broken repository may
still pass "git fsck && echo ok".
The problem is that we use for_each_ref to iterate over the
ref tips, which hides broken tips. It does at least print an
error from the refs.c code, but fsck does not ever see the
ref and cannot note the problem in its exit code. We can solve
this by using for_each_rawref and noting the error ourselves.
In addition to adding tests for this case, we add tests for
all types of missing-object links (all of which worked, but
which we were not testing).

When fsck'ing an incoming pack, we need to fsck objects that cannot be
read via read_sha1_file() because they are not local yet (and might even
be rejected if transfer.fsckobjects is set to 'true').
For commits, there is a hack in place: we basically cache commit
objects' buffers anyway, but the same is not true, say, for tag objects.
By refactoring fsck_object() to take the object buffer and size as
optional arguments -- optional, because we still fall back to the
previous method to look at the cached commit objects if the caller
passes NULL -- we prepare the machinery for the upcoming handling of tag
objects.
The assumption that such buffers are inherently NUL terminated is now
wrong, of course, hence we pass the size of the buffer so that we can
add a sanity check later, to prevent running past the end of the buffer.

This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more
importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer,
which will make it easier to change later.
Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a
tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the
object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are
not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that
buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it. But if we
are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an
object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then
detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller
can free it as usual). In this case, we don't want to free
the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer
associated with the commit.
Note that we are making the assumption here that the
attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all
(e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true
now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we
abstract the commit_buffer code, this dependency becomes
less obvious. So when we detach, let's also make sure that
we get back the same buffer that we gave to the
commit_buffer code.

Many code paths will free a tree object's buffer and set it
to NULL after finishing with it in order to keep memory
usage down during a traversal. However, out of 8 sites that
do this, only one actually unsets the "parsed" flag back.
Those sites that don't are setting a trap for later users of
the tree object; even after calling parse_tree, the buffer
will remain NULL, causing potential segfaults.
It is not known whether this is triggerable in the current
code. Most commands do not do an in-memory traversal
followed by actually using the objects again. However, it
does not hurt to be safe for future callers.
In most cases, we can abstract this out to a
"free_tree_buffer" helper. However, there are two
exceptions:
1. The fsck code relies on the parsed flag to know that we
were able to parse the object at one point. We can
switch this to using a flag in the "flags" field.
2. The index-pack code sets the buffer to NULL but does
not free it (it is freed by a caller). We should still
unset the parsed flag here, but we cannot use our
helper, as we do not want to free the buffer.

Based on a patch by Clemens Buchacher, but reverted the part to change

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
