2020-10-07compat/mingw.h: drop extern from function declarationLibravatar Denton Liu1-1/+1
In 554544276a (*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch, 2019-04-29), `extern` on function declarations were declared to be redundant and thus removed from the codebase. An `extern` was accidentally reintroduced in 08809c09aa (mingw: add a helper function to attach GDB to the current process, 2020-02-13). Remove this spurious `extern`.

2020-02-14mingw: add a helper function to attach GDB to the current processLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+10
When debugging Git, the criss-cross spawning of processes can make things quite a bit difficult, especially when a Unix shell script is thrown in the mix that calls a `git.exe` that then segfaults. To help debugging such things, we introduce the `open_in_gdb()` function which can be called at a code location where the segfault happens (or as close as one can get); This will open a new MinTTY window with a GDB that already attached to the current process.

2019-12-21mingw: refuse paths containing reserved namesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+9
There are a couple of reserved names that cannot be file names on Windows, such as `AUX`, `NUL`, etc. For an almost complete list, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file If one would try to create a directory named `NUL`, it would actually "succeed", i.e. the call would return success, but nothing would be created. Worse, even adding a file extension to the reserved name does not make it a valid file name. To understand the rationale behind that behavior, see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20031022-00/?p=42073 Let's just disallow them all.

2019-12-05mingw: handle `subst`-ed "DOS drives"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
Over a decade ago, in 25fe217b86c (Windows: Treat Windows style path names., 2008-03-05), Git was taught to handle absolute Windows paths, i.e. paths that start with a drive letter and a colon. Unbeknownst to us, while drive letters of physical drives are limited to letters of the English alphabet, there is a way to assign virtual drive letters to arbitrary directories, via the `subst` command, which is _not_ limited to English letters. It is therefore possible to have absolute Windows paths of the form `1:\what\the\hex.txt`. Even "better": pretty much arbitrary Unicode letters can also be used, e.g. `ä:\tschibät.sch`. While it can be sensibly argued that users who set up such funny drive letters really seek adverse consequences, the Windows Operating System is known to be a platform where many users are at the mercy of administrators who have their very own idea of what constitutes a reasonable setup. Therefore, let's just make sure that such funny paths are still considered absolute paths by Git, on Windows. In addition to Unicode characters, pretty much any character is a valid drive letter, as far as `subst` is concerned, even `:` and `"` or even a space character. While it is probably the opposite of smart to use them, let's safeguard `is_dos_drive_prefix()` against all of them. Note: `[::1]:repo` is a valid URL, but not a valid path on Windows. As `[` is now considered a valid drive letter, we need to be very careful to avoid misinterpreting such a string as valid local path in `url_is_local_not_ssh()`. To do that, we use the just-introduced function `is_valid_path()` (which will label the string as invalid file name because of the colon characters). This fixes CVE-2019-1351.

2019-12-05mingw: refuse to access paths with illegal charactersLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+5
Certain characters are not admissible in file names on Windows, even if Cygwin/MSYS2 (and therefore, Git for Windows' Bash) pretend that they are, e.g. `:`, `<`, `>`, etc Let's disallow those characters explicitly in Windows builds of Git. Note: just like trailing spaces or periods, it _is_ possible on Windows to create commits adding files with such illegal characters, as long as the operation leaves the worktree untouched. To allow for that, we continue to guard `is_valid_win32_path()` behind the config setting `core.protectNTFS`, so that users _can_ continue to do that, as long as they turn the protections off via that config setting. Among other problems, this prevents Git from trying to write to an "NTFS Alternate Data Stream" (which refers to metadata stored alongside a file, under a special name: "<filename>:<stream-name>"). This fix therefore also prevents an attack vector that was exploited in demonstrations of a number of recently-fixed security bugs.

2019-12-05mingw: refuse to access paths with trailing spaces or periodsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+11
When creating a directory on Windows whose path ends in a space or a period (or chains thereof), the Win32 API "helpfully" trims those. For example, `mkdir("abc ");` will return success, but actually create a directory called `abc` instead. This stems back to the DOS days, when all file names had exactly 8 characters plus exactly 3 characters for the file extension, and the only way to have shorter names was by padding with spaces. Sadly, this "helpful" behavior is a bit inconsistent: after a successful `mkdir("abc ");`, a `mkdir("abc /def")` will actually _fail_ (because the directory `abc ` does not actually exist). Even if it would work, we now have a serious problem because a Git repository could contain directories `abc` and `abc `, and on Windows, they would be "merged" unintentionally. As these paths are illegal on Windows, anyway, let's disallow any accesses to such paths on that Operating System. For practical reasons, this behavior is still guarded by the config setting `core.protectNTFS`: it is possible (and at least two regression tests make use of it) to create commits without involving the worktree. In such a scenario, it is of course possible -- even on Windows -- to create such file names. Among other consequences, this patch disallows submodules' paths to end in spaces on Windows (which would formerly have confused Git enough to try to write into incorrect paths, anyway). While this patch does not fix a vulnerability on its own, it prevents an attack vector that was exploited in demonstrations of a number of recently-fixed security bugs. The regression test added to `t/t7417-submodule-path-url.sh` reflects that attack vector. Note that we have to adjust the test case "prevent git~1 squatting on Windows" in `t/t7415-submodule-names.sh` because of a very subtle issue. It tries to clone two submodules whose names differ only in a trailing period character, and as a consequence their git directories differ in the same way. Previously, when Git tried to clone the second submodule, it thought that the git directory already existed (because on Windows, when you create a directory with the name `b.` it actually creates `b`), but with this patch, the first submodule's clone will fail because of the illegal name of the git directory. Therefore, when cloning the second submodule, Git will take a different code path: a fresh clone (without an existing git directory). Both code paths fail to clone the second submodule, both because the the corresponding worktree directory exists and is not empty, but the error messages are worded differently.

In 554544276a (*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch, 2019-04-29), we removed externs from function declarations using spatch but we intentionally excluded files under compat/ since some are directly copied from an upstream and we should avoid churning them so that manually merging future updates will be simpler. In the last commit, we determined the files which taken from an upstream so we can exclude them and run spatch on the remainder. This was the Coccinelle patch used: @@ type T; identifier f; @@ - extern T f(...); and it was run with: $ git ls-files compat/\*\*.{c,h} | xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place $ git checkout -- \ compat/regex/ \ compat/inet_ntop.c \ compat/inet_pton.c \ compat/nedmalloc/ \ compat/obstack.{c,h} \ compat/poll/ Coccinelle has some trouble dealing with `__attribute__` and varargs so we ran the following to ensure that no remaining changes were left behind: $ git ls-files compat/\*\*.{c,h} | xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/' $ git checkout -- \ compat/regex/ \ compat/inet_ntop.c \ compat/inet_pton.c \ compat/nedmalloc/ \ compat/obstack.{c,h} \ compat/poll/ Signed-off-by: Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com> Acked-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-06-20mingw: replace mingw_startup() hackLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-11/+11
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 Hostetler1-2/+1
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.

In `git version --build-options`, we report also the CPU, but in Git for Windows we actually cross-compile the 32-bit version in a 64-bit Git for Windows, so we cannot rely on the auto-detected value. In 3815f64b0dd9 (mingw: fix CPU reporting in `git version --build-options`, 2019-02-07), we fixed this by a Windows-only workaround, making use of magic pre-processor constants, which works in GCC, but most likely not all C compilers. As pointed out by Eric Sunshine, there is a better way, anyway: to set the Makefile variable HOST_CPU explicitly for cross-compiled Git. So let's do that!

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.

Since a9b8a09c3c30 (mingw: replace isatty() hack, 2016-12-22), we handle isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file descriptors, caching the return value. However, we missed the case where dup2() overrides the respective file descriptor. That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently, `cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and consequently stdout should be left alone. Let's override dup2() to handle this appropriately.

Let's formalize this concept by introducing a platform_core_config() function that can be #define'd in a platform-specific manner.

2018-10-31mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16 <-> UTF-8)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+28
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.

Note: This can cause performance issues when using Git variants with different file time resolutions, as the timestamps are stored in the Git index: after updating the index with a Git variant that uses second-precision file times, a nanosecond-aware Git will think that pretty much every single file listed in the index is out of date.

2018-03-19mingw: abort on invalid strftime formatsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+3
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.

Taking git-compat-util.h's cue (which uses an inline function to back is_dir_sep()), let's use an inline function to back also the Windows version of is_dir_sep(). This avoids problems when calling the function with arguments that do more than just provide a single character, e.g. incrementing a pointer.

2016-12-11mingw: intercept isatty() to handle /dev/null as Git expects itLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+3
When Git's source code calls isatty(), it really asks whether the respective file descriptor is connected to an interactive terminal. Windows' _isatty() function, however, determines whether the file descriptor is associated with a character device. And NUL, Windows' equivalent of /dev/null, is a character device. Which means that for years, Git mistakenly detected an associated interactive terminal when being run through the test suite, which almost always redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to /dev/null. This bug only became obvious, and painfully so, when the new bisect--helper entered the `pu` branch and made the automatic build & test time out because t6030 was waiting for an answer.

2016-09-08Merge branch 'bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either removing or renaming the temporary file. When the process spawns a subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has the file descriptor still open. Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT). * bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile: mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles

There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git" potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to make it harder to make mistakes. * jk/common-main: mingw: declare main()'s argv as const common-main: call git_setup_gettext() common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default() common-main: call sanitize_stdfds() common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path() add an extra level of indirection to main()
2016-08-23mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processesLibravatar Ben Wijen1-0/+4
When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them. The symptom: Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed. Should I try again? (y/n) Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr). Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g. git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles. This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows. As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL. This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

Since 4804aab (help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API, 2008-07-13), Git for Windows used to call `ShellExecute()` to launch the default Windows handler for `.html` files. The idea was to avoid going through a shell script, for performance reasons. However, this change ignores the `help.browser` config setting. Together with browsing help not being a performance-critical operation, let's just revert that patch.

In 84d32bf (sparse: Fix mingw_main() argument number/type errors, 2013-04-27), we addressed problems identified by the 'sparse' tool where argv was declared inconsistently. The way we addressed it was by casting from the non-const version to the const-version. This patch is long overdue, fixing compat/mingw.h's declaration to make the "argv" parameter const.
