2017-05-16Merge branch 'js/larger-timestamps'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
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. * js/larger-timestamps: archive-tar: fix a sparse 'constant too large' warning use uintmax_t for timestamps date.c: abort if the system time cannot handle one of our timestamps timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestamps parse_timestamp(): specify explicitly where we parse timestamps t0006 & t5000: skip "far in the future" test when time_t is too limited t0006 & t5000: prepare for 64-bit timestamps ref-filter: avoid using `unsigned long` for catch-all data type
2017-04-27timestamp_t: a new data type for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
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.

2017-04-23PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
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.

2017-04-15read-cache: force_verify_index_checksumLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-0/+1
Teach git to skip verification of the SHA1-1 checksum at the end of the index file in verify_hdr() which is called from read_index() unless the "force_verify_index_checksum" global variable is set. Teach fsck to force this verification. The checksum verification is for detecting disk corruption, and for small projects, the time it takes to compute SHA-1 is not that significant, but for gigantic repositories this calculation adds significant time to every command.

2017-01-26fsck: lazily load types under --connectivity-onlyLibravatar Jeff King1-51/+7
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): [before] $ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only real 3m4.323s user 1m25.121s sys 1m38.710s [after] $ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only real 0m51.497s user 0m49.575s sys 0m1.776s Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-01-26fsck: move typename() printing to its own functionLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+20
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).

2017-01-17fsck: check HAS_OBJ more consistentlyLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
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.

2017-01-17fsck: do not fallback "git fsck <bogus>" to "git fsck"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
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).

2017-01-17fsck: tighten error-checks of "git fsck <head>"Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+5
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.

2017-01-17fsck: prepare dummy objects for --connectivity-checkLibravatar Jeff King1-23/+97
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).

2017-01-17fsck: report trees as danglingLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-01-15fsck: parse loose object paths directlyLibravatar Jeff King1-13/+33
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.

2016-10-10alternates: use a separate scratch spaceLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+2
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.

2016-07-18fsck: optionally show more helpful info for broken linksLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+38
When reporting broken links between commits/trees/blobs, it would be quite helpful at times if the user would be told how the object is supposed to be reachable. With the new --name-objects option, git-fsck will try to do exactly that: name the objects in a way that shows how they are reachable. For example, when some reflog got corrupted and a blob is missing that should not be, the user might want to remove the corresponding reflog entry. This option helps them find that entry: `git fsck` will now report something like this: broken link from tree b5eb6ff... (refs/stash@{<date>}~37:) to blob ec5cf80...

2016-07-13fsck: use streaming interface for large blobs in packLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+4
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.

2015-10-05fsck: drop inode-sorting codeLibravatar Jeff King1-68/+2
Fsck tries to access loose objects in order of inode number, with the hope that this would make cold cache access faster on a spinning disk. This dates back to 7e8c174 (fsck-cache: sort entries by inode number, 2005-05-02), which predates 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 anymore.

2015-06-23fsck: support ignoring objects in `git fsck` via fsck.skiplistLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+13
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).

2015-06-23fsck: introduce `git fsck --connectivity-only`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+6
This option avoids unpacking each and all blob objects, and just verifies the connectivity. In particular with large repositories, this speeds up the operation, at the expense of missing corrupt blobs, ignoring unreachable objects and other fsck issues, if any.

2015-06-23fsck: support demoting errors to warningsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+12
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.

2015-06-22fsck: introduce identifiers for fsck messagesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-18/+8
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.

2015-05-25each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameterLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+7
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.

2014-12-01path.c: make get_pathname() call sites return const char *Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
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.

2014-10-15refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags fieldLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-1/+1
resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when 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. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency.
