Change various places that hardcode the names of these two files to
refer to either $(GENERATED_H), or to a new generated-hdrs
target. That target is consistent with the *-objs targets I recently
added in 029bac01a8 (Makefile: add {program,xdiff,test,git,fuzz}-objs
& objects targets, 2021-02-23).
A subsequent commit will add a new generated hook-list.h. By doing
this refactoring we'll only need to add the new file to the
GENERATED_H variable, not EXCEPT_HDRS, the vcbuild/README etc.
Hardcoding command-list.h there seems to have been a case of
copy/paste programming in 976aaedca0 (msvc: add a Makefile target to
pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29). The
config-list.h was added later in 709df95b78 (help: move
list_config_help to builtin/help, 2020-04-16).

In 2f732bf15e6 (tr2: log parent process name, 2021-07-21) we started
logging parent process names, but only logged all parents on Windows.
on Linux only the name of the immediate parent process was logged.
Extend the functionality added there to also log full parent chain on
Linux.
This requires us to lookup "/proc/<getppid()>/stat" instead of
"/proc/<getppid()>/comm". The "comm" file just contains the name of the
process, but the "stat" file has both that information, and the parent
PID of that process, see procfs(5). We parse out the parent PID of our
own parent, and recursively walk the chain of "/proc/*/stat" files all
the way up the chain. A parent PID of 0 indicates the end of the
chain.
It's possible given the semantics of Linux's PID files that we end up
getting an entirely nonsensical chain of processes. It could happen if
e.g. we have a chain of processes like:
1 (init) => 321 (bash) => 123 (git)
Let's assume that "bash" was started a while ago, and that as shown
the OS has already cycled back to using a lower PID for us than our
parent process. In the time it takes us to start up and get to
trace2_collect_process_info(TRACE2_PROCESS_INFO_STARTUP) our parent
process might exit, and be replaced by an entirely different process!
We'd racily look up our own getppid(), but in the meantime our parent
would exit, and Linux would have cycled all the way back to starting
an entirely unrelated process as PID 321.
If that happens we'll just silently log incorrect data in our ancestry
chain. Luckily we don't need to worry about this except in this
specific cycling scenario, as Linux does not have PID
randomization. It appears it once did through a third-party feature,
but that it was removed around 2006[1]. For anyone worried about this
edge case raising PID_MAX via "/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max" will mitigate
it, but not eliminate it.
One thing we don't need to worry about is getting into an infinite
loop when walking "/proc/*/stat". See 353d3d77f4f (trace2: collect
Windows-specific process information, 2019-02-22) for the related
Windows code that needs to deal with that, and [2] for an explanation
of that edge case.
Aside from potential race conditions it's also a bit painful to
correctly parse the process name out of "/proc/*/stat". A simpler
approach is to use fscanf(), see [3] for an implementation of that,
but as noted in the comment being added here it would fail in the face
of some weird process names, so we need our own parse_proc_stat() to
parse it out.
With this patch the "ancestry" chain for a trace2 event might look
like this:
$ GIT_TRACE2_EVENT=/dev/stdout ~/g/git/git version | grep ancestry | jq -r .ancestry
[
"bash",
"screen",
"systemd"
]
And in the case of naughty process names like the following. This uses
perl's ability to use prctl(PR_SET_NAME, ...). See
Perl/perl5@7636ea95c5 (Set the legacy process name with prctl() on
assignment to $0 on Linux, 2010-04-15)[4]:
$ perl -e '$0 = "(naughty\nname)"; system "GIT_TRACE2_EVENT=/dev/stdout ~/g/git/git version"' | grep ancestry | jq -r .ancestry
[
"sh",
"(naughty\nname)",
"bash",

In a subsequent commit I'll be replacing most of this code to log N
parents, but let's first fix bugs introduced in the recent
2f732bf15e6 (tr2: log parent process name, 2021-07-21).
It was using the strbuf_read_file() in the wrong way, its return value
is either a length or a negative value on error. If we didn't have a
procfs, or otherwise couldn't access it we'd end up pushing an empty
string to the trace2 ancestry array.
It was also using the strvec_push() API the wrong way. That API always
does an xstrdup(), so by detaching the strbuf here we'd leak
memory. Let's instead pass in our pointer for strvec_push() to
xstrdup(), and then free our own strbuf. I do have some WIP changes to
make strvec_push_nodup() non-static, which makes this and some other
callsites nicer, but let's just follow the prevailing pattern of using
strvec_push() for now.
We'll also need to free that "procfs_path" strbuf whether or not
strbuf_read_file() succeeds, which was another source of memory leaks
in 2f732bf15e6, i.e. we'd leak that memory as well if we weren't on a
system where we could read the file from procfs.
Let's move all the freeing of the memory to the end of the
function. If we're still at STRBUF_INIT with "name" due to not having
taken the branch where the strbuf_read_file() succeeds freeing it is
redundant. So we could move it into the body of the "if", but just
handling freeing the same way for all branches of the function makes
it more readable.
In combination with the preceding commit this makes all of
t[0-9]*trace2*.sh pass under SANITIZE=leak on Linux.

xmalloc() dies on error, allows zero-sized allocations and enforces
GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT for testing. Our mmap replacement doesn't need any of
that. Let's cut out the wrapper, reject zero-sized requests as required
by POSIX and use malloc(3) directly. Allocation errors were needlessly
handled by git_mmap() before; this code becomes reachable now.

When performing a rebase, rmdir() is called on the folder .git/logs. On
Unix rmdir() exits without deleting anything in case .git/logs is a
symbolic link but the equivalent functions on Windows (_rmdir, _wrmdir
and RemoveDirectoryW) do not behave the same and remove the folder if it
is symlinked even if it is not empty.
This creates issues when folders in .git/ are symlinks which is
especially the case when git-repo[1] is used: It replaces `.git/logs/`
with a symlink.
One such issue is that the _target_ of that symlink is removed e.g.
during a `git rebase`, where `delete_reflog("REBASE_HEAD")` will not
only try to remove `.git/logs/REBASE_HEAD` but then recursively try to
remove the parent directories until an error occurs, a technique that
obviously relies on `rmdir()` refusing to remove a symlink.
This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2967.
This commit updates mingw_rmdir() so that its behavior is the same as
Linux rmdir() in case of symbolic links.
To verify that Git does not regress on the reported issue, this patch
adds a regression test for the `git rebase` symptom, even if the same
`rmdir()` behavior is quite likely to cause potential problems in other
Git commands as well.
[1]: git-repo is a python tool built on top of Git which helps manage
many Git repositories. It stores all the .git/ folders in a central
place by taking advantage of symbolic links.

It can be useful to tell who invoked Git - was it invoked manually by a
user via CLI or script? By an IDE? In some cases - like 'repo' tool -
we can influence the source code and set the GIT_TRACE2_PARENT_SID
environment variable from the caller process. In 'repo''s case, that
parent SID is manipulated to include the string "repo", which means we
can positively identify when Git was invoked by 'repo' tool. However,
identifying parents that way requires both that we know which tools
invoke Git and that we have the ability to modify the source code of
those tools. It cannot scale to keep up with the various IDEs and
wrappers which use Git, most of which we don't know about. Learning
which tools and wrappers invoke Git, and how, would give us insight to
decide where to improve Git's usability and performance.
Unfortunately, there's no cross-platform reliable way to gather the name
of the parent process. If procfs is present, we can use that; otherwise
we will need to discover the name another way. However, the process ID
should be sufficient to look up the process name on most platforms, so
that code may be shareable.
Git for Windows gathers similar information and logs it as a "data_json"
event. However, since "data_json" has a variable format, it is difficult
to parse effectively in some languages; instead, let's pursue a
dedicated "cmd_ancestry" event to record information about the ancestry
of the current process and a consistent, parseable way.
Git for Windows also gathers information about more than one generation
of parent. In Linux further ancestry info can be gathered with procfs,
but it's unwieldy to do so. In the interest of later moving Git for
Windows ancestry logging to the 'cmd_ancestry' event, and in the
interest of later adding more ancestry to the Linux implementation - or
of adding this functionality to other platforms which have an easier
time walking the process tree - let's make 'cmd_ancestry' accept an
array of parentage.

To pave the way for non-Windows platforms to define
trace2_collect_process_info(), reorganize the stub-or-definition schema
to something which doesn't directly reference Windows.
Platforms which want to collect parent process information in the
future should:
1. Add an implementation to compat/ (e.g. compat/somearch/procinfo.c)
2. Add that object to COMPAT_OBJS to config.mak.uname
(e.g. COMPAT_OBJS += compat/somearch/procinfo.o)
3. Define HAVE_PLATFORM_PROCINFO in config.mak.uname
In the Windows case, this definition lives in
compat/win32/trace2_win32_process_info.c, which is already conditionally
added to COMPAT_OBJS; so let's add HAVE_PLATFORM_PROCINFO to hint to the
build that compat/stub/procinfo.c should not be used.

Apparently this is not supported with Microsoft's Universal C Runtime.
So let's not actually do that.
Instead, just return success because we _know_ that we expect the `NUL`
device to be present.
Side note: it is possible to turn off the "Null device driver" and
thereby disable `NUL`. Too many things are broken if this driver is
disabled, therefore it is not worth bothering to try to detect its
presence when `access()` is called.

Create Unix domain socket based implementation of "simple-ipc".
A set of `ipc_client` routines implement a client library to connect
to an `ipc_server` over a Unix domain socket, send a simple request,
and receive a single response. Clients use blocking IO on the socket.
A set of `ipc_server` routines implement a thread pool to listen for
and concurrently service client connections.
The server creates a new Unix domain socket at a known location. If a
socket already exists with that name, the server tries to determine if
another server is already listening on the socket or if the socket is
dead. If socket is busy, the server exits with an error rather than
stealing the socket. If the socket is dead, the server creates a new
one and starts up.
If while running, the server detects that its socket has been stolen
by another server, it automatically exits.

Work around platforms whose open() is reported to return EINTR (it
shouldn't, as we do our signals with SA_RESTART).
* jk/open-returns-eintr:
config.mak.uname: enable OPEN_RETURNS_EINTR for macOS Big Sur
Makefile: add OPEN_RETURNS_EINTR knob
|
|
On some platforms, open() reportedly returns EINTR when opening regular
files and we receive a signal (usually SIGALRM from our progress meter).
This shouldn't happen, as open() should be a restartable syscall, and we
specify SA_RESTART when setting up the alarm handler. So it may actually
be a kernel or libc bug for this to happen. But it has been reported on
at least one version of Linux (on a network filesystem):
https://lore.kernel.org/git/c8061cce-71e4-17bd-a56a-a5fed93804da@neanderfunk.de/
as well as on macOS starting with Big Sur even on a regular filesystem.
We can work around it by retrying open() calls that get EINTR, just as
we do for read(), etc. Since we don't ever _want_ to interrupt an open()
call, we can get away with just redefining open, rather than insisting
all callsites use xopen().
We actually do have an xopen() wrapper already (and it even does this
retry, though there's no indication of it being an observed problem back
then; it seems simply to have been lifted from xread(), etc). But it is
used hardly anywhere, and isn't suitable for general use because it will
die() on error. In theory we could combine the two, but it's awkward to
do so because of the variable-args interface of open().
This patch adds a Makefile knob for enabling the workaround. It's not
enabled by default for any platforms in config.mak.uname yet, as we
don't have enough data to decide how common this is (I have not been
able to reproduce on either Linux or Big Sur myself). It may be worth
enabling preemptively anyway, since the cost is pretty low (if we don't
see an EINTR, it's just an extra conditional).
However, note that we must not enable this on Windows. It doesn't do
anything there, and the macro overrides the existing mingw_open()
redirection. I've added a preemptive #undef here in the mingw header
(which is processed first) to just quietly disable it (we could also
make it an #error, but there is little point in being so aggressive).

Before checking out a file, we have to confirm that all of its leading
components are real existing directories. And to reduce the number of
lstat() calls in this process, we cache the last leading path known to
contain only directories. However, when a path collision occurs (e.g.
when checking out case-sensitive files in case-insensitive file
systems), a cached path might have its file type changed on disk,
leaving the cache on an invalid state. Normally, this doesn't bring
any bad consequences as we usually check out files in index order, and
therefore, by the time the cached path becomes outdated, we no longer
need it anyway (because all files in that directory would have already
been written).
But, there are some users of the checkout machinery that do not always
follow the index order. In particular: checkout-index writes the paths
in the same order that they appear on the CLI (or stdin); and the
delayed checkout feature -- used when a long-running filter process
replies with "status=delayed" -- postpones the checkout of some entries,
thus modifying the checkout order.
When we have to check out an out-of-order entry and the lstat() cache is
invalid (due to a previous path collision), checkout_entry() may end up
using the invalid data and thrusting that the leading components are
real directories when, in reality, they are not. In the best case
scenario, where the directory was replaced by a regular file, the user
will get an error: "fatal: unable to create file 'foo/bar': Not a
directory". But if the directory was replaced by a symlink, checkout
could actually end up following the symlink and writing the file at a
wrong place, even outside the repository. Since delayed checkout is
affected by this bug, it could be used by an attacker to write
arbitrary files during the clone of a maliciously crafted repository.
Some candidate solutions considered were to disable the lstat() cache
during unordered checkouts or sort the entries before passing them to
the checkout machinery. But both ideas include some performance penalty
and they don't future-proof the code against new unordered use cases.
Instead, we now manually reset the lstat cache whenever we successfully
remove a directory. Note: We are not even checking whether the directory
was the same as the lstat cache points to because we might face a
scenario where the paths refer to the same location but differ due to
case folding, precomposed UTF-8 issues, or the presence of `..`
components in the path. Two regression tests, with case-collisions and
utf8-collisions, are also added for both checkout-index and delayed
checkout.
Note: to make the previously mentioned clone attack unfeasible, it would
be sufficient to reset the lstat cache only after the remove_subtree()
call inside checkout_entry(). This is the place where we would remove a
directory whose path collides with the path of another entry that we are
currently trying to check out (possibly a symlink). However, in the
interest of a thorough fix that does not leave Git open to
similar-but-not-identical attack vectors, we decided to intercept
all `rmdir()` calls in one fell swoop.
This addresses CVE-2021-21300.

The following sequence leads to a "BUG" assertion running under MacOS:

Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git-test-restore-p/.git/
BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item
Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat
[snip]
The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo.
Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts:
The path to the repo and "the rest", if any.
"The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code.
As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine
"/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the
configuration file .git/config is found.
The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the
pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later.
If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this),
"dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå".
Git commands need to:
(a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode"
(b) precocompose argv[]
(c) precompose the prefix, if there was any
The first commit,
76759c7dff53 "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode"
addressed (a) and (b).
The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c,
because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written.
Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs.
The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff`
learned (a) and (b) in
commit 90a78b83e0b8 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv"
Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points
resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in
commit 8e712ef6fc97 "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places"
The bug report from above shows 2 things:
- more commands need to handle precomposed unicode
- (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs
Solution:
precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into
precompose_argv_prefix().
Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read
into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before.
This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before.
The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff53, placed
precompose_argv() into parse-options.c
Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well. Existing precompose
calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we
audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they
can never be reached without going through the new call added to
run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones.
But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these
precompose callsites as they are. Because precompose() is
idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string
safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully
vetting the callflows.
There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix.
Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should
be done in future commits.

Build update.
* da/vs-build-iconv-fix:
ci(vs-build): stop passing the iconv library location explicitly
|
|
Something changed in `vcpkg` (which we use in our Visual C++ build to
provide the dependencies such as libcurl) and our `vs-build` job started
failing in CI. The reason is that we had a work-around in place to help
CMake find iconv, and this work-around is neither needed nor does it
work anymore.

In 1af265f0 (compat/bswap.h: simplify MSVC endianness
detection, 2020-11-08) we attempted to simplify code by assuming MSVC
builds will be for little-endian machines, since only unusably old
versions of MSVC supported big-endian MIPS and m68k architectures.
However, it's possible that MSVC could be ported to build for a
big-endian architecture again, so the simplification wasn't as
future-proof as hoped.
So let's go back to the old way of detecting MSVC, and then checking
architecture from a list of little-endian architecture macros.
Note that MSVC does not treat ARM64 as bi-endian, so we can safely treat
it as little-endian.

Modern MSVC or Windows versions don't support big-endian, so it's
unnecessary to consider architectures when using it.
This also makes ARM64 MSVC builds succeed.

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`.

Compilation fix around type punning.
* jk/drop-unaligned-loads:
Revert "fast-export: use local array to store anonymized oid"
bswap.h: drop unaligned loads
|
|
Our put_be32() routine and its variants (get_be32(), put_be64(), etc)
has two implementations: on some platforms we cast memory in place and
use nothl()/htonl(), which can cause unaligned memory access. And on
others, we pick out the individual bytes using bitshifts.
This introduces extra complexity, and sometimes causes compilers to
generate warnings about type-punning. And it's not clear there's any
performance advantage.
This split goes back to 660231aa97 (block-sha1: support for
architectures with memory alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12). The
unaligned versions were part of the original block-sha1 code in
d7c208a92e (Add new optimized C 'block-sha1' routines, 2009-08-05),
which says it is:
Based on the mozilla SHA1 routine, but doing the input data accesses a
word at a time and with 'htonl()' instead of loading bytes and shifting.
Back then, Linus provided timings versus the mozilla code which showed a
27% improvement:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/alpine.LFD.2.01.0908051545000.3390@localhost.localdomain/
However, the unaligned loads were either not the useful part of that
speedup, or perhaps compilers and processors have changed since then.
Here are times for computing the sha1 of 4GB of random data, with and
without -DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS (and BLK_SHA1=1, of course). This is with
gcc 10, -O2, and the processor is a Core i9-9880H.
[stock]
Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand
Time (mean ± σ): 6.638 s ± 0.081 s [User: 6.269 s, System: 0.368 s]
Range (min … max): 6.550 s … 6.841 s 10 runs
[-DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS]
Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand
Time (mean ± σ): 6.418 s ± 0.015 s [User: 6.058 s, System: 0.360 s]
Range (min … max): 6.394 s … 6.447 s 10 runs
And here's the same test run on an AMD A8-7600, using gcc 8.
[stock]
Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand
Time (mean ± σ): 11.721 s ± 0.113 s [User: 10.761 s, System: 0.951 s]
Range (min … max): 11.509 s … 11.861 s 10 runs
[-DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS]
Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand
Time (mean ± σ): 11.744 s ± 0.066 s [User: 10.807 s, System: 0.928 s]
Range (min … max): 11.637 s … 11.863 s 10 runs
So the unaligned loads don't seem to help much, and actually make things
worse. It's possible there are platforms where they provide more
benefit, but:
- the non-x86 platforms for which we use this code are old and obscure
(powerpc and s390).
- the main caller that cares about performance is block-sha1. But
these days it is rarely used anyway, in favor of sha1dc (which is
already much slower, and nobody seems to have cared that much).
Let's just drop unaligned versions entirely in the name of simplicity.
