21e5ad50fc safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversions
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout.  A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git.  For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.

If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes.  Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted.  You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.

Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished.  In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way.  For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.

This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert.  The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:

 - false: disable safecrlf mechanism
 - warn: warn about irreversible conversions
 - true: refuse irreversible conversions

The default is to warn.  Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set.  But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.

The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command.  The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:

 - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
   irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
   original file.

 - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
   we do not not print annoying warnings.

There are exceptions.  Even though...

 - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
   next checkout would, so the safety triggers;

 - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
   in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
   conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
   safety does not trigger;

 - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
   often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add".  To
   catch potential problems early, safety triggers.

The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds.  Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

c9ced051c3 Fix random fast-import errors when compiled with NO_MMAP
fast-import was relying on the fact that on most systems mmap() and
write() are synchronized by the filesystem's buffer cache.  We were
relying on the ability to mmap() 20 bytes beyond the current end
of the file, then later fill in those bytes with a future write()
call, then read them through the previously obtained mmap() address.

This isn't always true with some implementations of NFS, but it is
especially not true with our NO_MMAP=YesPlease build time option used
on some platforms.  If fast-import was built with NO_MMAP=YesPlease
we used the malloc()+pread() emulation and the subsequent write()
call does not update the trailing 20 bytes of a previously obtained
"mmap()" (aka malloc'd) address.

Under NO_MMAP that behavior causes unpack_entry() in sha1_file.c to
be unable to read an object header (or data) that has been unlucky
enough to be written to the packfile at a location such that it
is in the trailing 20 bytes of a window previously opened on that
same packfile.

This bug has gone unnoticed for a very long time as it is highly data
dependent.  Not only does the object have to be placed at the right
position, but it also needs to be positioned behind some other object
that has been accessed due to a branch cache invalidation.  In other
words the stars had to align just right, and if you did run into
this bug you probably should also have purchased a lottery ticket.

Fortunately the workaround is a lot easier than the bug explanation.

Before we allow unpack_entry() to read data from a pack window
that has also (possibly) been modified through write() we force
all existing windows on that packfile to be closed.  By closing
the windows we ensure that any new access via the emulated mmap()
will reread the packfile, updating to the current file content.

This comes at a slight performance degredation as we cannot reuse
previously cached windows when we update the packfile.  But it
is a fairly minor difference as the window closes happen at only
two points:

 - When the packfile is finalized and its .idx is generated:

   At this stage we are getting ready to update the refs and any
   data access into the packfile is going to be random, and is
   going after only the branch tips (to ensure they are valid).
   Our existing windows (if any) are not likely to be positioned
   at useful locations to access those final tip commits so we
   probably were closing them before anyway.

 - When the branch cache missed and we need to reload:

   At this point fast-import is getting change commands for the next
   commit and it needs to go re-read a tree object it previously
   had written out to the packfile.  What windows we had (if any)
   are not likely to cover the tree in question so we probably were
   closing them before anyway.

We do try to avoid unnecessarily closing windows in the second case
by checking to see if the packfile size has increased since the
last time we called unpack_entry() on that packfile.  If the size
has not changed then we have not written additional data, and any
existing window is still vaild.  This nicely handles the cases where
fast-import is going through a branch cache reload and needs to read
many trees at once.  During such an event we are not likely to be
updating the packfile so we do not cycle the windows between reads.

With this change in place t9301-fast-export.sh (which was broken
by c3b0dec509) finally works again.

9e42d6a1c5 sha1_file.c: Fix size_t related printf format warnings
The old way of fixing warnings did not succeed on MinGW.  MinGW
does not support C99 printf format strings for size_t [1].  But
gcc on MinGW issues warnings if C99 printf format is not used.
Hence, the old stragegy to avoid warnings fails.

7109c889f1 sha1_file.c: avoid gcc signed overflow warnings
With the recent gcc, we get:

sha1_file.c: In check_packed_git_:
sha1_file.c:527: warning: assuming signed overflow does not
occur when assuming that (X + c) < X is always false
sha1_file.c:527: warning: assuming signed overflow does not
occur when assuming that (X + c) < X is always false

for a piece of code that tries to make sure that off_t is large
enough to hold more than 2^32 offset.  The test tried to make
sure these do not wrap-around:

    /* make sure we can deal with large pack offsets */
    off_t x = 0x7fffffffUL, y = 0xffffffffUL;
    if (x > (x + 1) || y > (y + 1)) {

but gcc assumes it can do whatever optimization it wants for a
signed overflow (undefined behaviour) and warns about this
construct.

Follow Linus's suggestion to check sizeof(off_t) instead to work
around the problem.

b315c5c081 strbuf change: be sure ->buf is never ever NULL.
For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living
in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept
things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an
initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons.

strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf
anymore.

as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying
->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope,
and eventually be free'd.

API changes:
  * strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience
    macro.
  * strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be
    NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to
    make the code more readable, and working like the callers.

5ecd293d14 Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.
* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their
  result if any. In that case, it also returns 1, else it returns 0.
* those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to
  call them this way:
    convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb);
  When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf
  content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller.

If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation
of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be:

    int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb)
    {
        int ret = 0;
        ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;
        }
        ret |= filter2(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;
        }
        ....
        return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb);
    }

That's why subfilters the convert_to_* functions called were also rewritten
to work this way.

9064d87b06 Don't segfault if we failed to inflate a packed delta
Under some types of packfile corruption the zlib stream holding the
data for a delta within a packfile may fail to inflate, due to say
a CRC failure within the compressed data itself.  When this occurs
the unpack_compressed_entry function will return NULL as a signal to
the caller that the data is not available.  Unfortunately we then
tried to use that NULL as though it referenced a memory location
where a delta was stored and tried to apply it to the delta base.
Loading a byte from the NULL address typically causes a SIGSEGV.

cate on #git noticed this failure in `git fsck --full` where the
call to verify_pack() first noticed that the packfile was corrupt
by finding that the packfile's SHA-1 did not match the raw data of
the file.  After finding this fsck went ahead and tried to verify
every object within the packfile, even though the packfile was
already known to be bad.  If we are going to shovel bad data at
the delta unpacking code, we better handle it correctly.

c4fba0a358 Rename read_pipe() with read_fd() and make its buffer nul-terminated.
The new name is closer to the purpose of the function.

A NUL-terminated buffer makes things easier when callers need that.
Since the function returns only the memory written with data,
almost always allocating more space than needed because final
size is unknown, an extra NUL terminating the buffer is harmless.
It is not included in the returned size, so the function
remains working as before.

Also, now the function allows the buffer passed to be NULL at first,
and alloc_nr is now used for growing the buffer, instead size=*2.

  Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too long

Jim Meyering
9cb18f56fd Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too long
There is no restriction on the length of the name returned by
get_object_directory, other than the fact that it must be a stat'able
git object directory.  That means its name may have length up to
PATH_MAX-1 (i.e., often 4095) not counting the trailing NUL.

Combine that with the assumption that the concatenation of that name and
suffixes like "/info/alternates" and "/pack/---long-name---.idx" will fit
in a buffer of length PATH_MAX, and you see the problem.  Here's a fix:

    sha1_file.c (prepare_packed_git_one): Lengthen "path" buffer
    so we are guaranteed to be able to append "/pack/" without checking.
    Skip any directory entry that is too long to be appended.
    (read_info_alternates): Protect against a similar buffer overrun.

Before this change, using the following admittedly contrived environment
setting would cause many git commands to clobber their stack and segfault
on a system with PATH_MAX == 4096:

  t=$(perl -e '$s=".git/objects";$n=(4096-6-length($s))/2;print "./"x$n . $s')
  export GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=$t
  touch g
  ./git-update-index --add g

If you run the above commands, you'll soon notice that many
git commands now segfault, so you'll want to do this:

  unset GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES

1164f1e48d Fix zero-object version-2 packs
A pack-file can get created without any objects in it (to transfer "no
data" - which can happen if you use a reference git repo, for example,
or just otherwise just end up transferring only branch head information
and already have all the objects themselves).

And while we probably should never create an index for such a pack, if we
do (and we do), the index file size sanity checking was incorrect.

This fixes it.

f7c22cc68c always start looking up objects in the last used pack first
Jon Smirl said:

| Once an object reference hits a pack file it is very likely that
| following references will hit the same pack file. So first place to
| look for an object is the same place the previous object was found.

This is indeed a good heuristic so here it is.  The search always start
with the pack where the last object lookup succeeded.  If the wanted
object is not available there then the search continues with the normal
pack ordering.

To test this I split the Linux repository into 66 packs and performed a
"time git-rev-list --objects --all > /dev/null".  Best results are as
follows:

	Pack Sort			w/o this patch	w/ this patch
	-------------------------------------------------------------
	recent objects last		26.4s		20.9s
	recent objects first		24.9s		18.4s

This shows that the pack order based on object age has some influence,
but that the last-used-pack heuristic is even more significant in
reducing object lookup.

Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> --- Note: the
--max-pack-size to git-repack currently produces packs with old objects
after those containing recent objects.  The pack sort based on
filesystem timestamp is therefore backward for those.  This needs to be
fixed of course, but at least it made me think about this variable for
the test.

bc8e478a28 Style nit - don't put space after function names
Our style is to not put a space after a function name.  I did here,
and Junio applied the patch with the incorrect formatting.  So I'm
cleaning up after myself since I noticed it upon review.

7dc24aa5a6 Micro-optimize prepare_alt_odb
Calling getenv() is not that expensive, but its also not free,
and its certainly not cheaper than testing to see if alt_odb_tail
is not null.

Because we are calling prepare_alt_odb() from within find_sha1_file
every time we cannot find an object file locally we want to skip out
of prepare_alt_odb() as early as possible once we have initialized
our alternate list.

d079837eee Lazily open pack index files on demand
In some repository configurations the user may have many packfiles,
but all of the recent commits/trees/tags/blobs are likely to
be in the most recent packfile (the one with the newest mtime).
It is therefore common to be able to complete an entire operation
by accessing only one packfile, even if there are 25 packfiles
available to the repository.

Rather than opening and mmaping the corresponding .idx file for
every pack found, we now only open and map the .idx when we suspect
there might be an object of interest in there.

Of course we cannot known in advance which packfile contains an
object, so we still need to scan the entire packed_git list to
locate anything.  But odds are users want to access objects in the
most recently created packfiles first, and that may be all they
ever need for the current operation.

Junio observed in b867092f that placing recent packfiles before
older ones can slightly improve access times for recent objects,
without degrading it for historical object access.

This change improves upon Junio's observations by trying even harder
to avoid the .idx files that we won't need.

726f852b0e deprecate the new loose object header format
Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.

Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.

This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

d1efefa46f Actually handle some-low memory conditions
Tim Ansell discovered his Debian server didn't permit git-daemon to
use as much memory as it needed to handle cloning a project with
a 128 MiB packfile.  Filtering the strace provided by Tim of the
rev-list child showed this gem of a sequence:

  open("./objects/pack/pack-*.pack", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE <unfinished ...>
  <... open resumed> )              = 5

OK, so the packfile is fd 5...

  mmap2(NULL, 33554432, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0 <unfinished ...>
   <... mmap2 resumed> )             = 0xb5e2d000

and we mapped one 32 MiB window from it at position 0...

   mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
   <... mmap2 resumed> )             = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)

And we asked for another window further into the file.  But got
denied.  In Tim's case this was due to a resource limit on the
git-daemon process, and its children.

Now where are we in the code?  We're down inside use_pack(),
after we have called unuse_one_window() enough times to make sure
we stay within our allowed maximum window size.  However since we
didn't unmap the prior window at 0xb5e2d000 we aren't exceeding
the current limit (which probably was just the defaults).

But we're actually down inside xmmap()...

So we release the window we do have (by calling release_pack_memory),
assuming there is some memory pressure...

   munmap(0xb5e2d000, 33554432 <unfinished ...>
   <... munmap resumed> )            = 0
   close(5 <unfinished ...>
   <... close resumed> )             = 0

And that was the last window in this packfile.  So we closed it.
Way to go us.  Our xmmap did not expect release_pack_memory to
close the fd its about to map...

   mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
   <... mmap2 resumed> )             = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)

And so the Linux kernel happily tells us f' off.

   write(2, "fatal: ", 7 <unfinished ...>
   <... write resumed> )             = 7
   write(2, "Out of memory? mmap failed: Bad "..., 47 <unfinished ...>
   <... write resumed> )             = 47

And we report the bad file descriptor error, and not the ENOMEM,
and die, claiming we are out of memory.  But actually that mmap
should have succeeded, as we had enough memory for that window,
seeing as how we released the prior one.

Originally when I developed the sliding window mmap feature I had
this exact same bug in fast-import, and I dealt with it by handing
in the struct packed_git* we want to open the new window for, as the
caller wasn't prepared to reopen the packfile if unuse_one_window
closed it.  The same is true here from xmmap, but the caller doesn't
have the struct packed_git* handy.  So I'm using the file descriptor
instead to perform the same test.

f35a6d3bce Teach core object handling functions about gitlinks
This teaches the really fundamental core SHA1 object handling routines
about gitlinks.  We can compare trees with gitlinks in them (although we
can not actually generate patches for them yet - just raw git diffs),
and they show up as commits in "git ls-tree".

We also know to compare gitlinks as if they were directories (ie the
normal "sort as trees" rules apply).

With this patch, packs larger than 4GB are usable, even on a 32-bit machine
(at least on Linux).  If off_t is not large enough to deal with a large
pack then die() is called instead of attempting to use the pack and
producing garbage.

This was tested with a 8GB pack specially created for the occasion on
a 32-bit machine.

57059091fa get rid of num_packed_objects()
The coming index format change doesn't allow for the number of objects
to be determined from the size of the index file directly.  Instead, Let's
initialize a field in the packed_git structure with the object count when
the index is validated since the count is always known at that point.

While at it let's reorder some struct packed_git fields to avoid padding
due to needed 64-bit alignment for some of them.

And while at it there is no reason to copy SHA1's over and over while a
