2019-07-08mingw: fix possible buffer overrun when calling `GetUserNameW()`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
In 39a98e9b68b8 (mingw: get pw_name in UTF-8 format, 2019-06-27), this developer missed the fact that the `GetUserNameW()` function takes the number of characters as `len` parameter, not the number of bytes.

2019-06-27mingw: use Unicode functions explicitlyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Many Win32 API functions actually exist in two variants: one with the `A` suffix that takes ANSI parameters (`char *` or `const char *`) and one with the `W` suffix that takes Unicode parameters (`wchar_t *` or `const wchar_t *`). The ANSI variant assumes that the strings are encoded according to whatever is the current locale. This is not what Git wants to use on Windows: we assume that `char *` variables point to strings encoded in UTF-8. There is a pseudo UTF-8 locale on Windows, but it does not work as one might expect. In addition, if we overrode the user's locale, that would modify the behavior of programs spawned by Git (such as editors, difftools, etc), therefore we cannot use that pseudo locale. Further, it is actually highly encouraged to use the Unicode versions instead of the ANSI versions, so let's do precisely that. Note: when calling the Win32 API functions _without_ any suffix, it depends whether the `UNICODE` constant is defined before the relevant headers are #include'd. Without that constant, the ANSI variants are used. Let's be explicit and avoid that ambiguity.

2019-06-25msvc: avoid debug assertion windows in Debug ModeLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+4
For regular debugging, it is pretty helpful when a debug assertion in a running application triggers a window that offers to start the debugger. However, when running the test suite, it is not so helpful, in particular when the debug assertions are then suppressed anyway because we disable the invalid parameter checking (via invalidcontinue.obj, see the comment in config.mak.uname about that object for more information). So let's simply disable that window in Debug Mode (it is already disabled in Release Mode).

2019-06-25msvc: support building Git using MS Visual C++Libravatar Jeff Hostetler1-0/+6
With this patch, Git can be built using the Microsoft toolchain, via: make MSVC=1 [DEBUG=1] Third party libraries are built from source using the open source "vcpkg" tool set. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg On a first build, the vcpkg tools and the third party libraries are automatically downloaded and built. DLLs for the third party libraries are copied to the top-level (and t/helper) directory to facilitate debugging. See compat/vcbuild/README. A series of .bat files are invoked by the Makefile to find the location of the installed version of Visual Studio and the associated compiler tools (essentially replicating the environment setup performed by a "Developer Command Prompt"). This should find the most recent VS2015 or VS2017 installation. Output from these scripts are used by the Makefile to define compiler and linker pathnames and -I and -L arguments. The build produces .pdb files for both debug and release builds. Note: This commit was squashed from an organic series of commits developed between 2016 and 2018 in Git for Windows' `master` branch. This combined commit eliminates the obsolete commits related to fetching NuGet packages for third party libraries. It is difficult to use NuGet packages for C/C++ sources because they may be built by earlier versions of the MSVC compiler and have CRT version and linking issues. Additionally, the C/C++ NuGet packages that we were using tended to not be updated concurrently with the sources. And in the case of cURL and OpenSSL, this could expose us to security issues.

2019-06-20mingw: replace mingw_startup() hackLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-19/+34
Git for Windows has special code to retrieve the command-line parameters (and even the environment) in UTF-16 encoding, so that they can be converted to UTF-8. This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to use UTF-8 encoded strings throughout its code, and the main() function does not get the parameters in that encoding. To do that, we used the __wgetmainargs() function, which is not even a Win32 API function, but provided by the MINGW "runtime" instead. Obviously, this method would not work with any compiler other than GCC, and in preparation for compiling with Visual C++, we would like to avoid precisely that. Lucky us, there is a much more elegant way: we can simply implement the UTF-16 variant of `main()`: `wmain()`. To make that work, we need to link with -municode. The command-line parameters are passed to `wmain()` encoded in UTF-16, as desired, and this method also works with GCC, and also with Visual C++ after adjusting the MSVC linker flags to force it to use `wmain()`.

2019-02-22trace2: create new combined trace facilityLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-1/+10
Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a unified set of git_trace2* routines. In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written. This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools. Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE). * GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command summary data. * GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE. It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread, repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function nesting. * GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a series of JSON records. Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance* routines.

2019-02-15mingw: safe-guard a bit more against getenv() problemsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Running up to v2.21.0, we fixed two bugs that were made prominent by the Windows-specific change to retain copies of only the 30 latest getenv() calls' returned strings, invalidating any copies of previous getenv() calls' return values. While this really shines a light onto bugs of the form where we hold onto getenv()'s return values without copying them, it is also a real problem for users. And even if Jeff King's patches merged via 773e408881 (Merge branch 'jk/save-getenv-result', 2019-01-29) provide further work on that front, we are far from done. Just one example: on Windows, we unset environment variables when spawning new processes, which potentially invalidates strings that were previously obtained via getenv(), and therefore we have to duplicate environment values that are somehow involved in spawning new processes (e.g. GIT_MAN_VIEWER in show_man_page()). We do not have a chance to investigate, let address, all of those issues in time for v2.21.0, so let's at least help Windows users by increasing the number of getenv() calls' return values that are kept valid. The number 64 was determined by looking at the average number of getenv() calls per process in the entire test suite run on Windows (which is around 40) and then adding a bit for good measure. And it is a power of two (which would have hit yesterday's theme perfectly). Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-01-29mingw: be more generous when wrapping up the setitimer() emulationLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Every once in a while, the Azure Pipeline fails with some semi-random error: timer thread did not terminate timely This error message means that the thread that is used to emulate the setitimer() function did not terminate within 1,000 milliseconds. The most likely explanation (and therefore the one we should assume to be true, according to Occam's Razor) is that the timeout of one second is simply not enough because we try to run so many tasks in parallel. So let's give it ten seconds instead of only one. That should be enough. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-01-18mingw: special-case arguments to `sh`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+76
The MSYS2 runtime does its best to emulate the command-line wildcard expansion and de-quoting which would be performed by the calling Unix shell on Unix systems. Those Unix shell quoting rules differ from the quoting rules applying to Windows' cmd and Powershell, making it a little awkward to quote command-line parameters properly when spawning other processes. In particular, git.exe passes arguments to subprocesses that are *not* intended to be interpreted as wildcards, and if they contain backslashes, those are not to be interpreted as escape characters, e.g. when passing Windows paths. Note: this is only a problem when calling MSYS2 executables, not when calling MINGW executables such as git.exe. However, we do call MSYS2 executables frequently, most notably when setting the use_shell flag in the child_process structure. There is no elegant way to determine whether the .exe file to be executed is an MSYS2 program or a MINGW one. But since the use case of passing a command line through the shell is so prevalent, we need to work around this issue at least when executing sh.exe. Let's introduce an ugly, hard-coded test whether argv[0] is "sh", and whether it refers to the MSYS2 Bash, to determine whether we need to quote the arguments differently than usual. That still does not fix the issue completely, but at least it is something. Incidentally, this also fixes the problem where `git clone \\server\repo` failed due to incorrect handling of the backslashes when handing the path to the git-upload-pack process. Further, we need to take care to quote not only whitespace and backslashes, but also curly brackets. As aliases frequently go through the MSYS2 Bash, and as aliases frequently get parameters such as HEAD@{yesterday}, this is really important. As an early version of this patch broke this, let's make sure that this does not regress by adding a test case for that.

2018-12-26git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo' is working (again)Libravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-28/+1
A regression for cygwin users was introduced with commit 05b458c, "real_path: resolve symlinks by hand". In the the commit message we read: The current implementation of real_path uses chdir() in order to resolve symlinks. Unfortunately this isn't thread-safe as chdir() affects a process as a whole... The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been replaced by a string operation. The cygwin layer "knows" that "C:\cygwin" is an absolute path, but the new string operation does not. "git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo" fails like this: fatal: Invalid path '/home/USER/repo/C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo' The solution is to implement has_dos_drive_prefix(), skip_dos_drive_prefix() is_dir_sep(), offset_1st_component() and convert_slashes() for cygwin in the same way as it is done in 'Git for Windows' in compat/mingw.[ch] Extract the needed code into compat/win32/path-utils.[ch] and use it for cygwin as well.

2018-10-31mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16 <-> UTF-8)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-112/+168
On Windows, the authoritative environment is encoded in UTF-16. In Git for Windows, we convert that to UTF-8 (because UTF-16 is *such* a foreign idea to Git that its source code is unprepared for it). Previously, out of performance concerns, we converted the entire environment to UTF-8 in one fell swoop at the beginning, and upon putenv() and run_command() converted it back. Having a private copy of the environment comes with its own perils: when a library used by Git's source code tries to modify the environment, it does not really work (in Git for Windows' case, libcurl, see https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/bcad1e6d58^...bcad1e6d58^2 for a glimpse of the issues). Hence, it makes our environment handling substantially more robust if we switch to on-the-fly-conversion in `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls. Based on an initial version in the MSVC context by Jeff Hostetler, this patch makes it so. Surprisingly, this has a *positive* effect on speed: at the time when the current code was written, we tested the performance, and there were *so many* `getenv()` calls that it seemed better to convert everything in one go. In the meantime, though, Git has obviously been cleaned up a bit with regards to `getenv()` calls so that the Git processes spawned by the test suite use an average of only 40 `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls over the process lifetime. Speaking of the entire test suite: the total time spent in the re-encoding in the current code takes about 32.4 seconds (out of 113 minutes runtime), whereas the code introduced in this patch takes only about 8.2 seconds in total. Not much, but it proves that we need not be concerned about the performance impact introduced by this patch.

2018-10-24mingw: fix getcwd when the parent directory cannot be queriedLibravatar Anton Serbulov1-0/+39
`GetLongPathName()` function may fail when it is unable to query the parent directory of a path component to determine the long name for that component. It happens, because it uses `FindFirstFile()` function for each next short part of path. The `FindFirstFile()` requires `List Directory` and `Synchronize` desired access for a calling process. In case of lacking such permission for some part of path, the `GetLongPathName()` returns 0 as result and `GetLastError()` returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function can help in such cases, because it requires `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize` desired access to the target path only. The `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function was introduced on `Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista`. So we need to load it dynamically. `CreateFile()` parameters: `lpFileName` = path to the current directory `dwDesiredAccess` = 0 (it means `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize`) `dwShareMode` = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE (it prevents `Sharing Violation`) `lpSecurityAttributes` = NULL (default security attributes) `dwCreationDisposition` = OPEN_EXISTING (required to obtain a directory handle) `dwFlagsAndAttributes` = FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS (required to obtain a directory handle) `hTemplateFile` = NULL (when opening an existing file or directory, `CreateFile` ignores this parameter) The string that is returned by `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function uses the \\?\ syntax. To skip the prefix and convert backslashes to slashes, the `normalize_ntpath()` mingw function will be used. Note: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function returns a final path. It is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved. For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to "D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir".

2018-10-24mingw: ensure `getcwd()` reports the correct caseLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+9
When switching the current working directory, say, in PowerShell, it is quite possible to use a different capitalization than the one that is recorded on disk. While doing the same in `cmd.exe` adjusts the capitalization magically, that does not happen in PowerShell so that `getcwd()` returns the current directory in a different way than is recorded on disk. Typically this creates no problems except when you call git log . in a subdirectory called, say, "GIT/" but you switched to "Git/" and your `getcwd()` reports the latter, then Git won't understand that you wanted to see the history as per the `GIT/` subdirectory but it thinks you wanted to see the history of some directory that may have existed in the past (but actually never did). So let's be extra careful to adjust the capitalization of the current directory before working with it.

When we access IPv6-related functions, we load the corresponding system library using the `LoadLibrary()` function, which is not the recommended way to load system libraries. In practice, it does not make a difference: the `ws2_32.dll` library containing the IPv6 functions is already loaded into memory, so LoadLibrary() simply reuses the already-loaded library. Still, recommended way is recommended way, so let's use that instead. While at it, also adjust the code in contrib/ that loads system libraries.

In our fstat() emulation, we convert the file metadata from Win32 data structures to an emulated POSIX structure. To structure the code better, let's factor that part out into its own function. Note: it would be tempting to try to unify this code with the part of do_lstat() that does the same thing, but they operate on different data structures: BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION vs WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA. So unfortunately, they cannot be unified. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When a user is registered in a Windows domain, it is really easy to obtain the email address. So let's do that. Suggested by Lutz Roeder. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-10-16getpwuid(mingw): provide a better default for the user nameLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+31
We do have the excellent GetUserInfoEx() function to obtain more detailed information of the current user (if the user is part of a Windows domain); Let's use it. Suggested by Lutz Roeder. To avoid the cost of loading Secur32.dll (even lazily, loading DLLs takes a non-neglibile amount of time), we use the established technique to load DLLs only when, and if, needed.

2018-08-13mingw: enable atomic O_APPENDLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-2/+39
The Windows CRT implements O_APPEND "manually": on write() calls, the file pointer is set to EOF before the data is written. Clearly, this is not atomic. And in fact, this is the root cause of failures observed in t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh and t5503-tagfollow.sh, where different processes write to the same trace file simultanously; it also occurred in t5400-send-pack.sh, but there it was worked around in 71406ed4d6 ("t5400: avoid concurrent writes into a trace file", 2017-05-18). Fortunately, Windows does support atomic O_APPEND semantics using the file access mode FILE_APPEND_DATA. Provide an implementation that does. This implementation is minimal in such a way that it only implements the open modes that are actually used in the Git code base. Emulation for other modes can be added as necessary later. To become aware of the necessity early, the unusal error ENOSYS is reported if an unsupported mode is encountered.

2018-03-19mingw: abort on invalid strftime formatsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+11
On Windows, strftime() does not silently ignore invalid formats, but warns about them and then returns 0 and sets errno to EINVAL. Unfortunately, Git does not expect such a behavior, as it disagrees with strftime()'s semantics on Linux. As a consequence, Git misinterprets the return value 0 as "I need more space" and grows the buffer. As the larger buffer does not fix the format, the buffer grows and grows and grows until we are out of memory and abort. Ideally, we would switch off the parameter validation just for strftime(), but we cannot even override the invalid parameter handler via _set_thread_local_invalid_parameter_handler() using MINGW because that function is not declared. Even _set_invalid_parameter_handler(), which *is* declared, does not help, as it simply does... nothing. So let's just bite the bullet and override strftime() for MINGW and abort on an invalid format string. While this does not provide the best user experience, it is the best we can do.

2017-11-02mingw: optionally redirect stderr/stdout via the same handleLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+15
The "2>&1" notation in Powershell and in Unix shells implies that stderr is redirected to the same handle into which stdout is already written. Let's use this special value to allow the same trick with GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR and GIT_REDIRECT_STDOUT: if the former's value is `2>&1`, then stderr will simply be written to the same handle as stdout. The functionality was suggested by Jeff Hostetler. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-11-02mingw: add experimental feature to redirect standard handlesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+43
Particularly when calling Git from applications, such as Visual Studio's Team Explorer, it is important that stdin/stdout/stderr are closed properly. However, when spawning processes on Windows, those handles must be marked as inheritable if we want to use them, but that flag is a global flag and may very well be used by other spawned processes which then do not know to close those handles. Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and friends) that specify paths to files, or even better, named pipes (which are similar to Unix sockets) and that are used by the spawned Git process. This helps work around above-mentioned issue: those named pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon startup, and no handles are passed around (and therefore no inherited handles need to be closed by any spawned child). This feature shipped with Git for Windows (marked as experimental) since v2.11.0(2), so it has seen some serious testing in the meantime.
