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.

archive-tar: fix a sparse 'constant too large' warning

date.c: abort if the system time cannot handle one of our timestamps
timestamp_t: a new data type 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
|
|
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.

Since 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until
pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03), we have to feed the
pre-receive hook the tmp_objdir environment, so that git
programs run from the hook know where to find the objects.
That commit modified run_update_hook() to do the same, but
there it is a noop. By the time we get to the update hooks,
we have already migrated the objects from quarantine, and so
tmp_objdir_env() will always return NULL. We can drop this
useless call.
Note that the ordering here and the lack of support for the
update hook is intentional. The update hook calls are
interspersed with actual ref updates, and we must migrate
the objects before any refs are updated (since otherwise
those refs would appear broken to outside processes). So the
only other options are:
- remain in quarantine for the _first_ ref, but not the
others. This is sufficiently confusing that it can be
rejected outright.
- run all the individual update hooks first, then migrate,
then update all the refs. But this changes the repository
state that the update hooks see (i.e., whether or not
refs from the same push are updated yet or not).
So the functionality is fine and remains unchanged with this
patch; we're just cleaning up a useless and confusing line
of code.

After receive-pack reads the pack header from the client, it
feeds the already-read part to index-pack and unpack-objects
via their --pack-header command-line options. To do so, we
format it into a fixed buffer, then duplicate it into the
child's argv_array.
Our buffer is long enough to handle any possible input, so
this isn't wrong. But it's more complicated than it needs to
be; we can just argv_array_pushf() the final value and avoid
the intermediate copy. This drops the magic number and is
more efficient, too.
Note that we need to push to the argv_array in order, which
means we can't do the push until we are in the "unpack-objects
versus index-pack" conditional. Rather than duplicate the
slightly complicated format specifier, I pushed it into a
helper function.

Convert some hardcoded constants into uses of parse_oid_hex.
Additionally, convert all uses of struct command, and miscellaneous
other functions necessary for that. This work is necessary to be able
to convert sha1_array_append later on.
To avoid needing to specify a constant, reject shallow lines with the
wrong length instead of simply ignoring them.
Note that in queue_command we are guaranteed to have a NUL-terminated
buffer or at least one byte of overflow that we can safely read, so the
linelen check can be elided. We would die in such a case, but not read

If we had already processed the last newline in a push certificate, we
would end up subtracting NULL from the end-of-certificate pointer when
computing the length of the line. This would have resulted in an
absurdly large length, and possibly a buffer overflow. Instead,
subtract the beginning-of-certificate pointer from the
end-of-certificate pointer, which is what's expected.
Note that this situation should never occur, since not only do we
require the certificate to be newline terminated, but the signature will
only be read from the beginning of a line. Nevertheless, it seems
prudent to correct it.

and that hash function might be longer than 20 bytes, use the constant
GIT_MAX_RAWSZ, which is designed to be suitable for allocations, instead
of GIT_SHA1_RAWSZ. This will ease the transition down the line by

The err_fd descriptor passed to the unpack() function is
intended to be handed off to the child index-pack, and our
async muxer will read until it gets EOF. However, if we
encounter an error before handing off the descriptor, we
must manually close(err_fd). Otherwise we will be waiting
for our muxer to finish, while the muxer is waiting for EOF
on err_fd.
We fixed an identical deadlock already in 49ecfa13f
(receive-pack: close sideband fd on early pack errors,
2013-04-19). But since then, the function grew a new
early-return in 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects

We de-duplicate ".have" refs among themselves, but never
check if they are duplicates of our local refs. It's not
unreasonable that they would be if we are a "--shared" or
"--reference" clone of a similar repository; we'd have all
the same tags.
We can handle this by inserting our local refs into the
oidset, but obviously not suppressing duplicates (since the
refnames are important).
Note that this also switches the order in which we advertise
refs, processing ours first and then any alternates. The
order shouldn't matter (and arguably showing our refs first

If you have an alternate object store with a very large
number of refs, the peak memory usage of the sha1_array can
grow high, even if most of them are duplicates that end up
not being printed at all.
The similar for_each_alternate_ref() code-paths in
fetch-pack solve this by using flags in "struct object" to
de-duplicate (and so are relying on obj_hash at the core).
But we don't have a "struct object" at all in this case. We
could call lookup_unknown_object() to get one, but if our
goal is reducing memory footprint, it's not great:
- an unknown object is as large as the largest object type
(a commit), which is bigger than an oidset entry
- we can free the memory after our ref advertisement, but
"struct object" entries persist forever (and the
receive-pack may hang around for a long time, as the
bottleneck is often client upload bandwidth).
So let's use an oidset. Note that unlike a sha1-array it
doesn't sort the output as a side effect. However, our
output is at least stable, because for_each_alternate_ref()
will give us the sha1s in ref-sorted order.
In one particularly pathological case with an alternate that
has 60,000 unique refs out of 80 million total, this reduced
the peak heap usage of "git receive-pack . </dev/null" from
13GB to 14MB.

Some code paths want to format multiple abbreviated sha1s in

for our return value, they have to either break their output

Intead, let's mimic sha1_to_hex() and use a ring of several

In order for the receiving end of "git push" to inspect the
received history and decide to reject the push, the objects sent
from the sending end need to be made available to the hook and
the mechanism for the connectivity check, and this was done
traditionally by storing the objects in the receiving repository
and letting "git gc" to expire it. Instead, store the newly

When a client pushes objects to us, index-pack checks the
objects themselves and then installs them into place. If we
then reject the push due to a pre-receive hook, we cannot
just delete the packfile; other processes may be depending
on it. We have to do a normal reachability check at this
point via `git gc`.
But such objects may hang around for weeks due to the
gc.pruneExpire grace period. And worse, during that time
they may be exploded from the pack into inefficient loose
objects.
Instead, this patch teaches receive-pack to put the new
objects into a "quarantine" temporary directory. We make
these objects available to the connectivity check and to the
pre-receive hook, and then install them into place only if
it is successful (and otherwise remove them as tempfiles).

After a client has sent us the complete pack, we may spend
some time processing the data and running hooks. If the
client asked us to be quiet, receive-pack won't send any
progress data during the index-pack or connectivity-check
steps. And hooks may or may not produce their own progress
output. In these cases, the network connection is totally
silent from both ends.
Git itself doesn't care about this (it will wait forever),
but other parts of the system (e.g., firewalls,
load-balancers, etc) might hang up the connection. So we'd
like to send some sort of keepalive to let the network and
the client side know that we're still alive and processing.
We can use the same trick we did in 05e9515 (upload-pack:
send keepalive packets during pack computation, 2013-09-08).
Namely, we will send an empty sideband data packet every `N`
seconds that we do not relay any stderr data over the
sideband channel. As with 05e9515, this means that we won't
bother sending keepalives when there's actual progress data,
but will kick in when it has been disabled (or if there is a
lull in the progress data).
The concept is simple, but the details are subtle enough
that they need discussing here.
Before the client sends us the pack, we don't want to do any
keepalives. We'll have sent our ref advertisement, and we're
waiting for them to send us the pack (and tell us that they
support sidebands at all).
While we're receiving the pack from the client (or waiting
for it to start), there's no need for keepalives; it's up to
them to keep the connection active by sending data.
Moreover, it would be wrong for us to do so. When we are the
server in the smart-http protocol, we must treat our
connection as half-duplex. So any keepalives we send while
receiving the pack would potentially be buffered by the
webserver. Not only does this make them useless (since they
would not be delivered in a timely manner), but it could
actually cause a deadlock if we fill up the buffer with
keepalives. (It wouldn't be wrong to send keepalives in this
phase for a full-duplex connection like ssh; it's simply
pointless, as it is the client's responsibility to speak).
As soon as we've gotten all of the pack data, then the
client is waiting for us to speak, and we should start
keepalives immediately. From here until the end of the
connection, we send one any time we are not otherwise
sending data.
But there's a catch. Receive-pack doesn't know the moment
we've gotten all the data. It passes the descriptor to
index-pack, who reads all of the data, and then starts
resolving the deltas. We have to communicate that back.
To make this work, we instruct the sideband muxer to enable
keepalives in three phases:
1. In the beginning, not at all.
2. While reading from index-pack, wait for a signal
indicating end-of-input, and then start them.
3. Afterwards, always.
The signal from index-pack in phase 2 has to come over the
stderr channel which the muxer is reading. We can't use an
extra pipe because the portable run-command interface only
gives us stderr and stdout.
Stdout is already used to pass the .keep filename back to
receive-pack. We could also send a signal there, but then we
would find out about it in the main thread. And the
keepalive needs to be done by the async muxer thread (since
it's the one writing sideband data back to the client). And
we can't reliably signal the async thread from the main
thread, because the async code sometimes uses threads and
sometimes uses forked processes.
Therefore the signal must come over the stderr channel,
where it may be interspersed with other random
human-readable messages from index-pack. This patch makes
the signal a single NUL byte. This is easy to parse, should
not appear in any normal stderr output, and we don't have to
worry about any timing issues (like seeing half the signal
bytes in one read(), and half in a subsequent one).
This is a bit ugly, but it's simple to code and should work
reliably.
Another option would be to stop using an async thread for
muxing entirely, and just poll() both stderr and stdout of
index-pack from the main thread. This would work for
index-pack (because we aren't doing anything useful in the
main thread while it runs anyway). But it would make the
connectivity check and the hook muxers much more
complicated, as they need to simultaneously feed the
sub-programs while reading their stderr.
The index-pack phase is the only one that needs this
signaling, so it could simply behave differently than the
other two. That would mean having two separate
implementations of copy_to_sideband (and the keepalive
code), though. And it still doesn't get rid of the
signaling; it just means we can write a nicer message like
"END_OF_INPUT" or something on stdout, since we don't have
to worry about separating it from the stderr cruft.
One final note: this signaling trick is only done with
index-pack, not with unpack-objects. There's no point in
doing it for the latter, because by definition it only kicks
in for a small number of objects, where keepalives are not
as useful (and this conveniently lets us avoid duplicating
the implementation).

When we receive a large push, the server side of the
connection may spend a lot of time (30s or more for a full
push of linux.git) walking the object graph without
producing any output. Let's give the user some indication
that we're actually working.

If the connectivity check encounters a problem when
receiving a push, the error output goes to receive-pack's
stderr, whose destination depends on the protocol used
(ssh tends to send it to the user, though without a "remote"
prefix; http will generally eat it in the server's error
log).
The information should consistently go back to the user, as
there is a reasonable chance their client is buggy and
generating a bad pack.
We can do so by muxing it over the sideband as we do with
other sub-process stderr.

When we receive a large push, the server side may have to
spend a lot of CPU processing the incoming packfile.
During the "receiving" phase, we are typically network
bound, and the client is writing its own progress to the
user. But during the delta resolution phase, we may spend
minutes (e.g., for a full push of linux.git) without
making any indication to the user that the connection has
not hung.
Let's ask index-pack to produce progress output for this
phase (unless the client asked us to be quiet, of course).
