Apple's common crypto implementation of SHA1_Update() does not take
more than 4GB at a time, and we now have a compile-time workaround
for it.
* ad/sha1-update-chunked:
sha1: allow limiting the size of the data passed to SHA1_Update()
sha1: provide another level of indirection for the SHA-1 functions
|
|
Using the previous commit's inredirection mechanism for SHA1,
support a chunked implementation of SHA1_Update() that limits the
amount of data in the chunk passed to SHA1_Update().
This is enabled by using the Makefile variable SHA1_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE
to specify chunk size. When using Apple's CommonCrypto library this
is set to 1GiB (the implementation cannot handle more 4GiB).

Various compilation fixes and squelching of warnings.
* js/misc-fixes:
Correct fscanf formatting string for I64u values
Silence GCC's "cast of pointer to integer of a different size" warning
Squelch warning about an integer overflow
|
|
When calculating hashes from pointers, it actually makes sense to cut
off the most significant bits. In that case, said warning does not make
a whole lot of sense.
So let's just work around it by casting the pointer first to intptr_t
and then casting up/down to the final integral type.

5096d490 (convert trivial sprintf / strcpy calls to xsnprintf) converted
two sprintf calls. Now GCC warns that "format '%u' expects argument of
type 'unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'long unsigned int'".
Instead of changing the format string, use a variable of type unsigned
in place of the typedef-ed type DWORD, which hides that it is actually an
unsigned long.
There is no correctness issue with the old code because unsigned long and
unsigned are always of the same size on Windows, even in 64-bit builds.

When we already know the length of a string (e.g., because
we just malloc'd to fit it), it's nicer to use memcpy than
strcpy, as it makes it more obvious that we are not going to
overflow the buffer (because the size we pass matches the
size in the allocation).
This also eliminates calls to strcpy, which make auditing
the code base harder.

When we are initializing a .git directory, we may call
probe_utf8_pathname_composition to detect utf8 mangling. We
pass in a path buffer for it to use, and it blindly
strcpy()s into it, not knowing whether the buffer is large
enough to hold the result or not.
In practice this isn't a big deal, because the buffer we
pass in already contains "$GIT_DIR/config", and we append
only a few extra bytes to it. But we can easily do the right
thing just by calling git_path_buf ourselves. Technically
this results in a different pathname (before we appended our
utf8 characters to the "config" path, and now they get their
own files in $GIT_DIR), but that should not matter for our
purposes.

This is a trivially correct use of sprintf, as our error

We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.
However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

Our compat inet_ntop4 function writes to a temporary buffer
with snprintf, and then uses strcpy to put the result into
the final "dst" buffer. We check the return value of
snprintf against the size of "dst", but fail to account for
the NUL terminator. As a result, we may overflow "dst" with
a single NUL. In practice, this doesn't happen because the
output of inet_ntop is limited, and we provide buffers that
are way oversized.
We can fix the off-by-one check easily, but while we are
here let's also use strlcpy for increased safety, just in
case there are other bugs lurking.
As a side note, this compat code seems to be BSD-derived.
Searching for "vixie inet_ntop" turns up NetBSD's latest
version of the same code, which has an identical fix (and
switches to strlcpy, too!).

Ensure that when passing a pipe, the gnulib poll replacement will not
return 0 before the timeout has passed.
Not obeying the timeout (and merely returning 0) causes pathological
behavior when preparing a packfile for a repository and taking a
long time to do so. If poll were to return 0 immediately, this would
cause keep-alives to get sent as quickly as possible until the packfile
was created. Such deviance from the standard would cause megabytes (or
more) of keep-alive packets to be sent.
GetTickCount is used as it is efficient, stable and monotonically
increasing. (Neither GetSystemTime nor QueryPerformanceCounter have
all three of these properties.)

This adds simple wrapper functions around calls to stat(), fstat(),
and lstat() that translate the operating system's native file type
bits to those used by most operating systems. It also rewrites the
S_IF* macros to the common values, so all file type processing is
performed using the translated modes. This makes projects portable
across operating systems that use different file type definitions.
Only the file type bits may be affected by these compatibility
functions; the file permission bits are assumed to be 07777 and are
passed through unchanged.

According to the Linux open(2) man page, open() must return EISDIR
if a directory was attempted to be opened for writing. Our emulation
in mingw_open() does not get this right: it checks only for O_CREAT.
Fix it to check for a write request.
This fixes a failure in reflog handling, which opens files with

The Windows environment is sorted, keep it that way for O(log n)
environment access.
Change compareenv to compare only the keys, so that it can be used to
find an entry irrespective of the value.
Change lookupenv to binary seach for an entry. Return one's complement of
the insert position if not found (libc's bsearch returns NULL).
Replace MSVCRT's getenv with a minimal do_getenv based on the binary search
function.
Change do_putenv to insert new entries at the correct position. Simplify
the function by swapping if conditions and using memmove instead of for
loops.
Move qsort from make_environment_block to mingw_startup. We still need to
sort on startup to make sure that the environment is sorted according to
our compareenv function (while Win32 / CreateProcess requires the
environment block to be sorted case-insensitively, CreateProcess currently
doesn't enforce this, and some applications such as bash just don't care).
Note that environment functions are _not_ thread-safe and are not required
to be so by POSIX, the application is responsible for synchronizing access
to the environment. MSVCRT's getenv and our new getenv implementation are
better than that in that they are thread-safe with respect to other getenv
calls as long as the environment is not modified. Git's indiscriminate use
of getenv in background threads currently requires this property.

As of d41489a6 "Add more large blob test cases", git's high-level memory
allocation functions (xmalloc, xmemdupz etc.) access the environment to
simulate limited memory in tests (see 'getenv("GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT")' in
memory_limit_check()). These functions should not be used before the
environment is fully initialized (particularly not to initialize the
environment itself).
The current solution ('environ = NULL; ALLOC_GROW(environ...)') only works
because MSVCRT's getenv() reinitializes environ when it is NULL (i.e. it
leaves us with two sets of unusabe (non-UTF-8) and unfreeable (CRT-
allocated) environments).
Add our own set of malloc-or-die functions to be used in startup code.
Also check the result of __wgetmainargs, which may fail if there's not
enough memory for wide-char arguments and environment.
This patch is in preparation of the sorted environment feature, which
completely replaces MSVCRT's getenv() implementation.

When spawning child processes via start_command(), the environment and all
environment entries are copied twice. First by make_augmented_environ /
copy_environ to merge with child_process.env. Then a second time by
make_environment_block to create a sorted environment block string as
required by CreateProcess.
Move the merge logic to make_environment_block so that we only need to copy
the environment once. This changes semantics of the env parameter: it now
expects a delta (such as child_process.env) rather than a full environment.
This is not a problem as the parameter is only used by start_command()
(all other callers previously passed char **environ, and now pass NULL).
The merge logic no longer xstrdup()s the environment strings, so do_putenv
must not free them. Add a parameter to distinguish this from normal putenv.
Remove the now unused make_augmented_environ / free_environ API.

All functions that modify the environment have memory leaks.
Disable gitunsetenv in the Makefile and use env_setenv (via mingw_putenv)
instead (this frees removed environment entries).
Move xstrdup from env_setenv to make_augmented_environ, so that
mingw_putenv no longer copies the environment entries (according to POSIX
[1], "the string [...] shall become part of the environment"). This also
fixes the memory leak in gitsetenv, which expects a POSIX compliant putenv.

Convert environment from UTF-16 to UTF-8 on startup.
No changes to getenv() are necessary, as the MSVCRT version is implemented
on top of char **environ.
However, putenv / _wputenv from MSVCRT no longer work, for two reasons:
1. they try to keep environ, _wenviron and the Win32 process environment
in sync, using the default system encoding instead of UTF-8 to convert
between charsets
2. msysgit and MSVCRT use different allocators, memory allocated in git
cannot be freed by the CRT and vice versa
Implement mingw_putenv using the env_setenv helper function from the
environment merge code.
Note that in case of memory allocation failure, putenv now dies with error
message (due to xrealloc) instead of failing with ENOMEM. As git assumes
setenv / putenv to always succeed, this prevents it from continuing with
incorrect settings.

Replaces Windows "ANSI" APIs dealing with file- or path names with their
Unicode equivalent, adding UTF-8/UTF-16LE conversion as necessary.
The dirent API (opendir/readdir/closedir) is updated in a separate commit.
Adds trivial wrappers for access, chmod and chdir.
Adds wrapper for mktemp (needed for both mkstemp and mkdtemp).
The simplest way to convert a repository with legacy-encoded (e.g. Cp1252)
file names to UTF-8 ist to checkout with an old msysgit version and
"git add --all & git commit" with the new version.
Includes a fix for bug reported by John Chen:
On Windows XP (not Win7), directories cannot be deleted while a find handle
is open, causing "Deletion of directory '...' failed. Should I try again?"
prompts.
Prior to this commit, these failures were silently ignored due to
strbuf_free in is_dir_empty resetting GetLastError to ERROR_SUCCESS.
Close the find handle in is_dir_empty so that git doesn't block deletion
of the directory even after all other applications have released it.
