2017-01-07raceproof_create_file(): new functionLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+43
Add a function that tries to create a file and any containing directories in a way that is robust against races with other processes that might be cleaning up empty directories at the same time. The actual file creation is done by a callback function, which, if it fails, should set errno to EISDIR or ENOENT according to the convention of open(). raceproof_create_file() detects such failures, and respectively either tries to delete empty directories that might be in the way of the file or tries to create the containing directories. Then it retries the callback function. This function is not yet used.

2016-10-31Merge branch 'ls/git-open-cloexec'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were open in the parent process when spawning a child process, but most of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor open, a slow-to-exit child can even break the parent process by holding onto them.

2016-10-26find_unique_abbrev: use 4-buffer ringLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Some code paths want to format multiple abbreviated sha1s in the same output line. Because we use a single static buffer for our return value, they have to either break their output into several calls or allocate their own arrays and use find_unique_abbrev_r(). Intead, let's mimic sha1_to_hex() and use a ring of several buffers, so that the return value stays valid through multiple calls. This shortens some of the callers, and makes it harder to for them to make a silly mistake. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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 received objects in a temporary area, and make them available by reusing the alternate object store mechanism to them only while we decide if we accept the check, and once we decide, either migrate them to the repository or purge them immediately. * jk/quarantine-received-objects: tmp-objdir: do not migrate files starting with '.' tmp-objdir: put quarantine information in the environment receive-pack: quarantine objects until pre-receive accepts tmp-objdir: introduce API for temporary object directories check_connected: accept an env argument
2016-10-14fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag followingLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to. This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74 (has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up, 2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive. This has gone unnoticed for several years because it requires a fairly unique setup to matter: 1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted list, which is currently quadratic). 2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of the pack directory. 3. Under normal circumstances, the client would auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2) would no longer be true. But if those tags point to history which is disconnected from what the client otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and those candidates will impact it on every fetch. So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0 (prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check, 2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()). This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077 (index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory, 2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file() occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it. Here are results from the included perf script, which sets up a situation similar to the one described above: Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------- 5550.4: fetch 11.21(10.42+0.78) 0.08(0.04+0.02) -99.3% Reported-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-10-10alternates: store scratch buffer as strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+11
We pre-size the scratch buffer to hold a loose object filename of the form "xx/yyyy...", which leads to allocation code that is hard to verify. We have to use some magic numbers during the initial allocation, and then writers must blindly assume that the buffer is big enough. Using a strbuf makes it more clear that we cannot overflow. Unfortunately, we do still need some magic numbers to grow our strbuf before calling fill_sha1_path(), but the strbuf growth is much closer to the point of use. This makes it easier to see that it's correct, and opens the possibility of pushing it even further down if fill_sha1_path() learns to work on strbufs.

2016-10-10alternates: use a separate scratch spaceLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
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.

2016-10-10git: make super-prefix optionLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+2
Add a super-prefix environment variable 'GIT_INTERNAL_SUPER_PREFIX' which can be used to specify a path from above a repository down to its root. When such a super-prefix is specified, the paths reported by Git are prefixed with it to make them relative to that directory "above". The paths given by the user on the command line (e.g. "git subcmd --output-file=path/to/a/file" and pathspecs) are taken relative to the directory "above" to match. The immediate use of this option is by commands which have a --recurse-submodule option in order to give context to submodules about how they were invoked. This option is currently only allowed for builtins which support a super-prefix.

The get_short_sha1() is only about reading short sha1s; we do call it in a loop to check "is this long enough" for each object, but otherwise it should not need to know about things like our default_abbrev setting. So instead of asking it to set default_automatic_abbrev as a side-effect, let's just have find_unique_abbrev() pick the right place to start its loop.

2016-10-03abbrev: auto size the default abbreviationLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+1
In fairly early days we somehow decided to abbreviate object names down to 7-hexdigits, but as projects grow, it is becoming more and more likely to see such a short object names made in earlier days and recorded in the log messages no longer unique. Currently the Linux kernel project needs 11 to 12 hexdigits, while Git itself needs 10 hexdigits to uniquely identify the objects they have, while many smaller projects may still be fine with the original 7-hexdigit default. One-size does not fit all projects. Introduce a mechanism, where we estimate the number of objects in the repository upon the first request to abbreviate an object name with the default setting and come up with a sane default for the repository. Based on the expectation that we would see collision in a repository with 2^(2N) objects when using object names shortened to first N bits, use sufficient number of hexdigits to cover the number of objects in the repository. Each hexdigit (4-bits) we add to the shortened name allows us to have four times (2-bits) as many objects in the repository.

2016-10-03abbrev: add FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV to prepare for auto sizingLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
We'll be introducing a new way to decide the default abbreviation length by initialising DEFAULT_ABBREV to -1 to signal the first call to "find unique abbreviation" codepath to compute a reasonable value based on the number of objects we have to avoid collisions. We have long relied on DEFAULT_ABBREV being a positive concrete value that is used as the abbreviation length when no extra configuration or command line option has overridden it. Some codepaths wants to use such a positive concrete default value even before making their first request to actually trigger the computation for the auto sized default. Introduce FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV and use it to the code that attempts to align the report from "git fetch". For now, this macro is also used to initialize the default_abbrev variable, but the auto-sizing code will use -1 and then use the value of FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV as the starting point of auto-sizing.

2016-09-27get_short_sha1: make default disambiguation configurableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
When we find ambiguous short sha1s, we may get a disambiguation rule from our caller's context. But if we don't, we fall back to treating all sha1s the same, even though most projects will tend to refer only to commits by their short sha1s. This patch introduces a configuration option that lets the user pick a different fallback (e.g., only commits). It's possible that we may want to make this the default, but it's a good idea to start as a config option for two reasons: 1. It lets people experiment with this and see if it's a good idea (i.e., the "tend to" above is an assumption; we don't really know if this will break some obscure cases). 2. Even if we do flip the default, it gives people an escape hatch if it causes problems (you can sometimes override it by asking for "1234^{tree}", but not all combinations are possible).

In particular, we can only handle one disambiguating function, and the flags quietly override each other. Let's instead detect these as programming bugs. Technically some of the flags are supersets of the others, so treating COMMITTISH|TREEISH as just COMMITTISH is not wrong, but it's a good sign the caller is confused.

2016-09-13init: reset cached config when entering new repoLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
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.

2016-09-13config: only read .git/config from configured reposLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
When git_config() runs, it looks in the system, user-wide, and repo-level config files. It gets the latter by calling git_pathdup(), which in turn calls get_git_dir(). If we haven't set up the git repository yet, this may simply return ".git", and we will look at ".git/config". This seems like it would be helpful (presumably we haven't set up the repository yet, so it tries to find it), but it turns out to be a bad idea for a few reasons: - it's not sufficient, and therefore hides bugs in a confusing way. Config will be respected if commands are run from the top-level of the working tree, but not from a subdirectory. - it's not always true that we haven't set up the repository _yet_; we may not want to do it at all. For instance, if you run "git init /some/path" from inside another repository, it should not load config from the existing repository. - there might be a path ".git/config", but it is not the actual repository we would find via setup_git_directory(). This may happen, e.g., if you are storing a git repository inside another git repository, but have munged one of the files in such a way that the inner repository is not valid (e.g., by removing HEAD). We have at least two bugs of the second type in git-init, introduced by ae5f677 (lazily load core.sharedrepository, 2016-03-11). It causes init to use git_configset(), which loads all of the config, including values from the current repo (if any). This shows up in two ways: 1. If we happen to be in an existing repository directory, we'll read and respect core.sharedrepository from it, even though it should have no bearing on the new repository. A new test in t1301 covers this. 2. Similarly, if we're in an existing repo that sets core.logallrefupdates, that will cause init to fail to set it in a newly created repository (because it thinks that the user's templates already did so). A new test in t0001 covers this. We also need to adjust an existing test in t1302, which gives another example of why this patch is an improvement. That test creates an embedded repository with a bogus core.repositoryformatversion of "99". It wants to make sure that we actually stop at the bogus repo rather than continuing upward to find the outer repo. So it checks that "git config core.repositoryformatversion" returns 99. But that only works because we blindly read ".git/config", even though we _know_ we're in a repository whose vintage we do not understand. After this patch, we avoid reading config from the unknown vintage repository at all, which is a safer choice. But we need to tweak the test, since core.repositoryformatversion will not return 99; it will claim that it could not find the variable at all.

"git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing $path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able. * sb/submodule-clone-rr: clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates clone: implement optional references clone: clarify option_reference as required clone: factor out checking for an alternate path submodule--helper update-clone: allow multiple references submodule--helper module-clone: allow multiple references t7408: merge short tests, factor out testing method t7408: modernize style

2016-08-31allow do_submodule_path to work even if submodule isn't checked outLibravatar Jacob Keller1-2/+2
Currently, do_submodule_path will attempt locating the .git directory by using read_gitfile on <path>/.git. If this fails it just assumes the <path>/.git is actually a git directory. This is good because it allows for handling submodules which were cloned in a regular manner first before being added to the superproject. Unfortunately this fails if the <path> is not actually checked out any longer, such as by removing the directory. Fix this by checking if the directory we found is actually a gitdir. In the case it is not, attempt to lookup the submodule configuration and find the name of where it is stored in the .git/modules/ directory of the superproject. If we can't locate the submodule configuration, this might occur because for example a submodule gitlink was added but the corresponding .gitmodules file was not properly updated. A die() here would not be pleasant to the users of submodule diff formats, so instead, modify do_submodule_path() to return an error code: - git_pathdup_submodule() returns NULL when we fail to find a path. - strbuf_git_path_submodule() propagates the error code to the caller. Modify the callers of these functions to check the error code and fail properly. This ensures we don't attempt to use a bad path that doesn't match the corresponding submodule. Because this change fixes add_submodule_odb() to work even if the submodule is not checked out, update the wording of the submodule log diff format to correctly display that the submodule is "not initialized" instead of "not checked out" Add tests to ensure this change works as expected.

2016-08-31cache: add empty_tree_oid object and helper functionLibravatar Jacob Keller1-4/+21
Similar to is_null_oid(), and is_empty_blob_sha1() add an empty_tree_oid along with helper function is_empty_tree_oid(). For completeness, also add an "is_empty_tree_sha1()", "is_empty_blob_sha1()", "is_empty_tree_oid()" and "is_empty_blob_oid()" helpers. To ensure we only get one singleton, implement EMPTY_BLOB_SHA1_BIN as simply getting the hash of empty_blob_oid structure.
