2021-01-12patch-ids: handle duplicate hashmap entriesLibravatar Jeff King4-4/+48
This fixes a bug introduced in dfb7a1b4d0 (patch-ids: stop using a hand-rolled hashmap implementation, 2016-07-29) in which git rev-list --cherry-pick A...B will fail to suppress commits reachable from A even if a commit with matching patch-id appears in B. Around the time of that commit, the algorithm for "--cherry-pick" looked something like this: 0. Traverse all of the commits, marking them as being on the left or right side of the symmetric difference. 1. Iterate over the left-hand commits, inserting a patch-id struct for each into a hashmap, and pointing commit->util to the patch-id struct. 2. Iterate over the right-hand commits, checking which are present in the hashmap. If so, we exclude the commit from the output _and_ we mark the patch-id as "seen". 3. Iterate again over the left-hand commits, checking whether commit->util->seen is set; if so, exclude them from the output. At the end, we'll have eliminated commits from both sides that have a matching patch-id on the other side. But there's a subtle assumption here: for any given patch-id, we must have exactly one struct representing it. If two commits from A both have the same patch-id and we allow duplicates in the hashmap, then we run into a problem: a. In step 1, we insert two patch-id structs into the hashmap. b. In step 2, our lookups will find only one of these structs, so only one "seen" flag is marked. c. In step 3, one of the commits in A will have its commit->util->seen set, but the other will not. We'll erroneously output the latter. Prior to dfb7a1b4d0, our hashmap did not allow duplicates. Afterwards, it used hashmap_add(), which explicitly does allow duplicates. At that point, the solution would have been easy: when we are about to add a duplicate, skip doing so and return the existing entry which matches. But it gets more complicated. In 683f17ec44 (patch-ids: replace the seen indicator with a commit pointer, 2016-07-29), our step 3 goes away entirely. Instead, in step 2, when the right-hand side finds a matching patch_id from the left-hand side, we can directly mark the left-hand patch_id->commit to be omitted. Solving that would be easy, too; there's a one-to-many relationship of patch-ids to commits, so we just need to keep a list. But there's more. Commit b3dfeebb92 (rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs, 2016-07-29) built on that by lazily computing the full patch-ids. So we don't even know when adding to the hashmap whether two commits truly have the same id. We'd have to tentatively assign them a list, and then possibly split them apart (possibly into N new structs) at the moment we compute the real patch-ids. This could work, but it's complicated and error-prone. Instead, let's accept that we may store duplicates, and teach the lookup side to be more clever. Rather than asking for a single matching patch-id, it will need to iterate over all matching patch-ids. This does mean examining every entry in a single hash bucket, but the worst-case for a hash lookup was already doing that. We'll keep the hashmap details out of the caller by providing a simple iteration interface. We can retain the simple has_commit_patch_id() interface for the other callers, but we'll simplify its return value into an integer, rather than returning the patch_id struct. That way they won't be tempted to look at the "commit" field of the return value without iterating.

2021-01-09t5516: loosen "not our ref" error checkLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
Commit 014ade7484 (upload-pack: send ERR packet for non-tip objects, 2019-04-13) added a test that greps the output of a failed fetch to make sure that upload-pack sent us the ERR packet we expected. But checking this is racy; despite the argument in that commit, the client may still be sending a "done" line after the server exits, causing it to die() on a failed write() and never see the ERR packet at all. This fails quite rarely on Linux, but more often on macOS. However, it can be triggered reliably with: diff --git a/fetch-pack.c b/fetch-pack.c index 876f90c759..cf40de9092 100644 --- a/fetch-pack.c +++ b/fetch-pack.c @@ -489,6 +489,7 @@ static int find_common(struct fetch_negotiator *negotiator, done: trace2_region_leave("fetch-pack", "negotiation_v0_v1", the_repository); if (!got_ready || !no_done) { + sleep(1); packet_buf_write(&req_buf, "done\n"); send_request(args, fd[1], &req_buf); } This is a real user-visible race that it would be nice to fix, but it's tricky to do so: the client would have to speculatively try to read an ERR packet after hitting a write() error. And at least for this error, it's specific to v0 (since v2 does not enforce reachability at all). So let's loosen the test to avoid annoying racy failures. If we eventually do the read-after-failed-write thing, we can tighten it. And if not, v0 will grow increasingly obsolete as servers support v2, so the utility of this test will decrease over time anyway. Note that we can still check stderr to make sure upload-pack bailed for the reason we expected. It writes a similar message to stderr, and because the server side is just another process connected by pipes, we'll reliably see it. This would not be the case for git://, or for ssh servers that do not relay stderr (e.g., GitHub's custom endpoint does not).

2021-01-07fsck: reject .gitmodules git:// urls with newlinesLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+16
The previous commit taught the clone/fetch client side to reject a git:// URL with a newline in it. Let's also catch these when fscking a .gitmodules file, which will give an earlier warning.

2021-01-07git_connect_git(): forbid newlines in host and pathLibravatar Jeff King2-0/+7
When we connect to a git:// server, we send an initial request that looks something like: 002dgit-upload-pack repo.git\0host=example.com If the repo path contains a newline, then it's included literally, and we get: 002egit-upload-pack repo .git\0host=example.com This works fine if you really do have a newline in your repository name; the server side uses the pktline framing to parse the string, not newlines. However, there are many _other_ protocols in the wild that do parse on newlines, such as HTTP. So a carefully constructed git:// URL can actually turn into a valid HTTP request. For example: git://localhost:1234/%0d%0a%0d%0aGET%20/%20HTTP/1.1 %0d%0aHost:localhost%0d%0a%0d%0a becomes: 0050git-upload-pack / GET / HTTP/1.1 Host:localhost host=localhost:1234 on the wire. Again, this isn't a problem for a real Git server, but it does mean that feeding a malicious URL to Git (e.g., through a submodule) can cause it to make unexpected cross-protocol requests. Since repository names with newlines are presumably quite rare (and indeed, we already disallow them in git-over-http), let's just disallow them over this protocol. Hostnames could likewise inject a newline, but this is unlikely a problem in practice; we'd try resolving the hostname with a newline in it, which wouldn't work. Still, it doesn't hurt to err on the side of caution there, since we would not expect them to work in the first place. The ssh and local code paths are unaffected by this patch. In both cases we're trying to run upload-pack via a shell, and will quote the newline so that it makes it intact. An attacker can point an ssh url at an arbitrary port, of course, but unless there's an actual ssh server there, we'd never get as far as sending our shell command anyway. We _could_ similarly restrict newlines in those protocols out of caution, but there seems little benefit to doing so. The new test here is run alongside the git-daemon tests, which cover the same protocol, but it shouldn't actually contact the daemon at all. In theory we could make the test more robust by setting up an actual repository with a newline in it (so that our clone would succeed if our new check didn't kick in). But a repo directory with newline in it is likely not portable across all filesystems. Likewise, we could check git-daemon's log that it was not contacted at all, but we do not currently record the log (and anyway, it would make the test racy with the daemon's log write). We'll just check the client-side stderr to make sure we hit the expected code path.

2021-01-06mergetool--lib: fix '--tool-help' to correctly show available toolsLibravatar Philippe Blain2-2/+15
Commit 83bbf9b92e (mergetool--lib: improve support for vimdiff-style tool variants, 2020-07-29) introduced a regression in the output of `git mergetool --tool-help` and `git difftool --tool-help` [1]. In function 'show_tool_names' in git-mergetool--lib.sh, we loop over the supported mergetools and their variants and accumulate them in the variable 'variants', separating them with a literal '\n'. The code then uses 'echo $variants' to turn these '\n' into newlines, but this behaviour is not portable, it just happens to work in some shells, like dash(1)'s 'echo' builtin. For shells in which 'echo' does not turn '\n' into newlines, the end result is that the only tools that are shown are the existing variants (except the last variant alphabetically), since the variants are separated by actual newlines in '$variants' because of the several 'echo' calls in mergetools/{bc,vimdiff}::list_tool_variants. Fix this bug by embedding an actual line feed into `variants` in show_tool_names(). While at it, replace `sort | uniq` by `sort -u`. To prevent future regressions, add a simple test that checks that a few known tools are correctly shown (let's avoid counting the total number of tools to lessen the maintenance burden when new tools are added or if '--tool-help' learns additional logic, like hiding tools depending on the current platform).

2021-01-06t4129: don't fail if setgid is set in the test directoryLibravatar Matheus Tavares1-2/+7
The last test of t4129 creates a directory and expects its setgid bit (g+s) to be off. But this makes the test fail when the parent directory has the bit set, as setgid's state is inherited by newly created subdirectories. One way to solve this problem is to allow the presence of this bit when comparing the return of `test_modebits` with the expected value. But then we may have the same problem in the future when other tests start using `test_modebits` on directories (currently t4129 is the only one) and forget about setgid. Instead, let's make the helper function more robust with respect to the state of the setgid bit in the test directory by removing this bit from the returning value. There should be no problem with existing callers as no one currently expects this bit to be on. Note that the sticky bit (+t) and the setuid bit (u+s) are not inherited, so we don't have to worry about those.

2021-01-06p7519: allow running without watchman prereqLibravatar Taylor Blau1-1/+6
p7519 measures the performance of the fsmonitor code. To do this, it uses the installed copy of Watchman. If Watchman isn't installed, a noop integration script is installed in its place. When in the latter mode, it is expected that the script should not write a "last update token": in fact, it doesn't write anything at all since the script is blank. Commit 33226af42b (t/perf/fsmonitor: improve error message if typoing hook name, 2020-10-26) made sure that running 'git update-index --fsmonitor' did not write anything to stderr, but this is not the case when using the empty Watchman script, since Git will complain that: $ which watchman watchman not found $ cat .git/hooks/fsmonitor-empty $ git -c core.fsmonitor=.git/hooks/fsmonitor-empty update-index --fsmonitor warning: Empty last update token. Prior to 33226af42b, the output wasn't checked at all, which allowed this noop mode to work. But, 33226af42b breaks p7519 when running it without a 'watchman(1)' on your system. Handle this by only checking that the stderr is empty only when running with a real watchman executable. Otherwise, assert that the error message is the expected one when running in the noop mode.

2021-01-04gitmodules.txt: fix 'GIT_WORK_TREE' variable nameLibravatar Philippe Blain1-15/+15
'gitmodules.txt' is a guide about the '.gitmodules' file that describes submodule properties, and that file must exist at the root of the repository. This was clarified in e5b5c1d2cf (Document clarification: gitmodules, gitattributes, 2008-08-31). However, that commit mistakenly uses the non-existing environment variable 'GIT_WORK_DIR' to refer to the root of the repository. Fix that by using the correct variable, 'GIT_WORK_TREE'. Take the opportunity to modernize and improve the formatting of that guide, and fix a grammar mistake.
