2017-09-08add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positivesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it away. This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know _when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was early in the program, then it's probably a real and important leak. But if it was used right up until program exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress it so that we can see the real leaks. This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so. To understand its design, let's first look at some of the alternatives. Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A leak-checker basically knows two things: 1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the callstack during the allocation. 2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the program (and which are unreachable, but more on that later). Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK to leak. So imagine you have code like this: int cmd_foo(...) { /* this allocates some memory */ char *p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); return 0; } You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(), they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to know about those leaks. So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls some_function". That works, but your annotations are brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of the intermediate code changes, you have to update the suppression. What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about "p" in the first place. However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would report even globals which are still accessible when the leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory (like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on, transitively marking anything reachable from a global as "not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category). So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*() functions are called from other commands). Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That list is reachable even at program exit, which confers recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak. In other words, you can do: int cmd_foo(...) { char *p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); UNLEAK(p); return 0; } to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report. But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has several advantages over actually freeing the memory: 1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p" is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a function which knows how to free all of the struct members. By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers reachability on any pointers it contains (including those found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking heap blocks recursively. 2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is allocated or not. For example: char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function(); It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore our bytes. 3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_ been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip over those bytes as uninteresting. 4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable. This is helpful in cases like this: char *p = some_function(); return another_function(p); Writing this with free() requires: int ret; char *p = some_function(); ret = another_function(p); free(p); return ret; But with unleak we can just write: char *p = some_function(); UNLEAK(p); return another_function(p); This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost. It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with LSAN. Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them both into strbuf_release() calls).

2017-03-08real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on errorLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+3
In 4ac9006f832 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path()) pattern to use real_pathdup() directly. The problem with this change is that real_path() calls strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path() causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent and returns NULL instead. The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died with an appropriate error message). Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(), and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would handle NULLs well.

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysLibravatar Cornelius Weig1-1/+1
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2016-09-25init: do not set unnecessary core.worktreeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+6
The function needs_work_tree_config() that is called from create_default_files() is supposed to be fed the path to ".git" that looks as if it is at the top of the working tree, and decide if that location matches the actual worktree being used. This comparison allows "git init" to decide if core.worktree needs to be recorded in the working tree. In the current code, however, we feed the return value from get_git_dir(), which can be totally different from what the function expects when "gitdir" file is involved. Instead of giving the path to the ".git" at the top of the working tree, we end up feeding the actual path that the file points at. This original location of ".git" however is only known to init_db(). Make init_db() save it and have it passed to create_default_files() as a new parameter, which passes the correct location down to needs_work_tree_config() to fix this.

2016-09-25init: correct re-initialization from a linked worktreeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
When 'git init' is called from a linked worktree, we treat '.git' dir (which is $GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/something) as the main '.git' (i.e. $GIT_COMMON_DIR) and populate the whole repository skeleton in there. It does not harm anything (*) but it is still wrong. Since 'git init' calls set_git_dir() at preparation time, which indirectly calls get_common_dir() and correctly detects multiple worktree setup, all git_path_buf() calls in create_default_files() will return correct paths in both single and multiple worktree setups. The only thing left is copy_templates(), which targets $GIT_DIR, not $GIT_COMMON_DIR. Fix that with get_git_common_dir(). This function will return $GIT_DIR in single-worktree setup, so we don't have to make a special case for multiple-worktree here. (*) It does in fact, thanks to another bug. More on that later.

2016-09-13init: reset cached config when entering new repoLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
After we copy the templates into place, we re-read the config in case we copied in a default config file. But since git_config() is backed by a cache these days, it's possible that the call will not actually touch the filesystem at all; we need to tell it that something has changed behind the scenes. Note that we also need to reset the shared_repository config. At first glance, it seems like this should probably just be folded into git_config_clear(). But unfortunately that is not quite right. The shared repository value may come from config, _or_ it may have been set manually. So only the caller who knows whether or not they set it is the one who can clear it (and indeed, if you _do_ put it into git_config_clear(), then many tests fail, as we have to clear the config cache any time we set a new config variable). There are three tests here. The first two actually pass already, though it's largely luck: they just don't happen to actually read any config before we enter the new repo. But the third one does fail without this patch; we look at core.sharedrepository while creating the directory, but need to make sure the value from the template config overrides it.

When setup_git_directory() is called, we set a flag in startup_info to indicate we have a repository. But there are a few other mechanisms by which we might set up a repo: 1. When creating a new repository via init_db(), we transition from no-repo to being in a repo. We should tweak this flag at that moment. 2. In enter_repo(), a stricter form of setup_git_directory() used by server-side programs, we check the repository format config. After doing so, we know we're in a repository, and can set the flag. With these changes, library code can now reliably tell whether we are in a repository and act accordingly. We'll leave the "prefix" field as NULL, which is what happens when setup_git_directory() finds there is no prefix.

2015-10-05init: use strbufs to store pathsLibravatar Jeff King1-98/+74
The init code predates strbufs, and uses PATH_MAX-sized buffers along with many manual checks on intermediate sizes (some of which make magic assumptions, such as that init will not create a path inside .git longer than 50 characters). We can simplify this greatly by using strbufs, which drops some hard-to-verify strcpy calls in favor of git_path_buf. While we're in the area, let's also convert existing calls to git_path to the safer git_path_buf (our existing calls were passed to pretty tame functions, and so were not a problem, but it's easy to be consistent and safe here). Note that we had an explicit test that "git init" rejects long template directories. This comes from 32d1776 (init: Do not segfault on big GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable, 2009-04-18).

We pass in a path buffer for it to use, and it blindly strcpy()s into it, not knowing whether the buffer is large enough to hold the result or not. In practice this isn't a big deal, because the buffer we pass in already contains "$GIT_DIR/config", and we append only a few extra bytes to it. But we can easily do the right thing just by calling git_path_buf ourselves. Technically this results in a different pathname (before we appended our utf8 characters to the "config" path, and now they get their own files in $GIT_DIR), but that should not matter for our purposes.

We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the ".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to do, but still valid). * jk/init-core-worktree-at-root: init: don't set core.worktree when initializing /.git
2015-04-02init: don't set core.worktree when initializing /.gitLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+15
If you create a git repository in the root directory with "git init /", we erroneously write a core.worktree entry. This isn't _wrong_, in the sense that it's OK to set core.worktree when we don't need to. But it is unnecessarily surprising if you later move the .git directory to another path (which usually moves the relative working tree, but is foiled if there is an explicit worktree set). The problem is that we check whether core.worktree is necessary by seeing if we can make the git_dir by concatenating "/.git" onto the working tree. That would lead to "//.git" in this instance, but we actually have "/.git" (without the doubled slash). We can fix this by special-casing the root directory. I also split the logic out into its own function to make the conditional a bit more readable (and used skip_prefix, which I think makes it a little more obvious what is going on). No tests, as we would need to be able to write to "/" to do so. I did manually confirm that: sudo git init / cd / git rev-parse --show-toplevel git config core.worktree still finds the top-level correctly (as "/"), and does not set any core.worktree variable.

This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt- like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include: - Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters - Putting dashes in multiword parameter names - Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar] - Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...] Signed-off-by: Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-11-30system_path(): always return free'able memory to the callerLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+10
The function sometimes returns a newly allocated string and sometimes returns a borrowed string, the latter of which the callers must not free(). The existing callers all assume that the return value belongs to the callee and most of them copy it with strdup() when they want to keep it around. They end up leaking the returned copy when the callee returned a new string because they cannot tell if they should free it. Change the contract between the callers and system_path() to make the returned string owned by the callers; they are responsible for freeing it when done, but they do not have to make their own copy to store it away. Adjust the callers to make sure they do not leak the returned string once they are done, but do not bother freeing it just before dying, exiting or exec'ing other program to avoid unnecessary churn.

2014-11-21init-db: improve the filemode trustability checkLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-0/+2
Some file systems do not support the executable bit: a) The user executable bit is always 0, e.g. VFAT mounted with -onoexec b) The user executable bit is always 1, e.g. cifs mounted with -ofile_mode=0755 c) There are system where user executable bit is 1 even if it should be 0 like b), but the file mode can be maintained locally. chmod -x changes the file mode from 0766 to 0666, until the file system is unmounted and remounted and the file mode is 0766 again. This been observed when a Windows machine with NTFS exports a share to Mac OS X via smb or afp. Case a) and b) are handled by the current code. Case c) qualifies as "non trustable executable bit" and core.filemode should be false, but this is currently not done. Detect when ".git/config" has the user executable bit set after creat(".git/config", 0666) and set core.filemode to false. Because the permission bits on the file is whatever the end user already had when we are asked to reinitialise an existing repository, and do not give any information on the filesystem behaviour, do this only when running "git init" to create a new repository.

2014-11-18create_default_files(): don't set u+x bit on $GIT_DIR/configLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+2
Since time immemorial, the test of whether to set "core.filemode" has been done by trying to toggle the u+x bit on $GIT_DIR/config, which we know always exists, and then testing whether the change "took". I find it somewhat odd to use the config file for this test, but whatever. The test code didn't set the u+x bit back to its original state itself, instead relying on the subsequent call to git_config_set() to re-write the config file with correct permissions. But ever since daa22c6f8d config: preserve config file permissions on edits (2014-05-06) git_config_set() copies the permissions from the old config file to the new one. This is a good change in and of itself, but it invalidates the create_default_files()'s assumption, causing "git init" to leave the executable bit set on $GIT_DIR/config. Reset the permissions on $GIT_DIR/config when we are done with the test in create_default_files().

Feeding the result of a real_path() call to real_path() again doesn't change that result -- the returned path won't get any more real. Avoid such a double call in set_git_dir_init() and for the same reason stop calling real_path() before feeding paths to set_git_work_tree(), as the latter already takes care of that.

2014-04-17i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:"Libravatar Jiang Xin1-5/+3
When extract l10n messages, we use "--add-comments" option to keep comments right above the l10n messages for references. But sometimes irrelevant comments are also extracted. For example in the following code block, the comment in line 2 will be extracted as comment for the l10n message in line 3, but obviously it's wrong. { OPTION_CALLBACK, 0, "ignore-removal", &addremove_explicit, NULL /* takes no arguments */, N_("ignore paths removed in the working tree (same as --no-all)"), PARSE_OPT_NOARG, ignore_removal_cb }, Since almost all comments for l10n translators are marked with the same prefix (tag): "TRANSLATORS:", it's safe to only extract comments with this special tag. I.E. it's better to call xgettext as: xgettext --add-comments=TRANSLATORS: ... Also tweaks the multi-line comment in "init-db.c", to make it start with the proper tag, not "* TRANSLATORS:" (which has a star before the tag).

safe_create_leading_directories_const() returns a non-zero value on error. The old code at this calling site recognized a couple of particular error values, and treated all other return values as success. Instead, be more conservative: recognize the errors we are interested in, but treat any other nonzero values as failures.
