2018-10-04mingw: bump the minimum Windows version to VistaLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Quite some time ago, a last plea to the XP users out there who want to see Windows XP support in Git for Windows, asking them to get engaged and help, vanished into the depths of the universe. We tried for a long time to play nice with the last remaining XP users who somehow manage to build Git from source, but a recent update of mingw-w64 (7.0.0.5233.e0c09544 -> 7.0.0.5245.edf66197) finally dropped the last sign of XP support, and Git for Windows' SDK is no longer able to build core Git's `master` branch as a consequence. (Git for Windows' `master` branch already bumped the minimum Windows version to Vista a while ago, so it is fine.) It is time to require Windows Vista or later to build Git from source. This, incidentally, lets us use quite a few nice new APIs. It also means that we no longer need the inet_pton() and inet_ntop() emulation, which is nice.

2018-10-04mingw: set _WIN32_WINNT explicitly for Git for WindowsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Previously, we only ever declared a target Windows version if compiling with Visual C. Which meant that we were relying on the MinGW headers to guess which Windows version we want to target... Let's be explicit about it, in particular because we actually want to bump the target Windows version to Vista (which we will do in the next commit).

2018-07-26automatically ban strcpy()Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
There are a few standard C functions (like strcpy) which are easy to misuse. E.g.: char path[PATH_MAX]; strcpy(path, arg); may overflow the "path" buffer. Sometimes there's an earlier constraint on the size of "arg", but even in such a case it's hard to verify that the code is correct. If the size really is unbounded, you're better off using a dynamic helper like strbuf: struct strbuf path = STRBUF_INIT; strbuf_addstr(path, arg); or if it really is bounded, then use xsnprintf to show your expectation (and get a run-time assertion): char path[PATH_MAX]; xsnprintf(path, sizeof(path), "%s", arg); which makes further auditing easier. We'd usually catch undesirable code like this in a review, but there's no automated enforcement. Adding that enforcement can help us be more consistent and save effort (and a round-trip) during review. This patch teaches the compiler to report an error when it sees strcpy (and will become a model for banning a few other functions). This has a few advantages over a separate linting tool: 1. We know it's run as part of a build cycle, so it's hard to ignore. Whereas an external linter is an extra step the developer needs to remember to do. 2. Likewise, it's basically free since the compiler is parsing the code anyway. 3. We know it's robust against false positives (unlike a grep-based linter). The two big disadvantages are: 1. We'll only check code that is actually compiled, so it may miss code that isn't triggered on your particular system. But since presumably people don't add new code without compiling it (and if they do, the banned function list is the least of their worries), we really only care about failing to clean up old code when adding new functions to the list. And that's easy enough to address with a manual audit when adding a new function (which is what I did for the functions here). 2. If this ends up generating false positives, it's going to be harder to disable (as opposed to a separate linter, which may have mechanisms for overriding a particular case). But the intent is to only ban functions which are obviously bad, and for which we accept using an alternative even when this particular use isn't buggy (e.g., the xsnprintf alternative above). The implementation here is simple: we'll define a macro for the banned function which replaces it with a reference to a descriptively named but undeclared identifier. Replacing it with any invalid code would work (since we just want to break compilation). But ideally we'd meet these goals: - it should be portable; ideally this would trigger everywhere, and does not need to be part of a DEVELOPER=1 setup (because unlike warnings which may depend on the compiler or system, this is a clear indicator of something wrong in the code). - it should generate a readable error that gives the developer a clue what happened - it should avoid generating too much other cruft that makes it hard to see the actual error - it should mention the original callsite in the error The output with this patch looks like this (using gcc 7, on a checkout with 022d2ac1f3 reverted, which removed the final strcpy from blame.c): CC builtin/blame.o In file included from ./git-compat-util.h:1246, from ./cache.h:4, from builtin/blame.c:8: builtin/blame.c: In function ‘cmd_blame’: ./banned.h:11:22: error: ‘sorry_strcpy_is_a_banned_function’ undeclared (first use in this function) #define BANNED(func) sorry_##func##_is_a_banned_function ^~~~~~ ./banned.h:14:21: note: in expansion of macro ‘BANNED’ #define strcpy(x,y) BANNED(strcpy) ^~~~~~ builtin/blame.c:1074:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘strcpy’ strcpy(repeated_meta_color, GIT_COLOR_CYAN); ^~~~~~ ./banned.h:11:22: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in #define BANNED(func) sorry_##func##_is_a_banned_function ^~~~~~ ./banned.h:14:21: note: in expansion of macro ‘BANNED’ #define strcpy(x,y) BANNED(strcpy) ^~~~~~ builtin/blame.c:1074:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘strcpy’ strcpy(repeated_meta_color, GIT_COLOR_CYAN); ^~~~~~ This prominently shows the phrase "strcpy is a banned function", along with the original callsite in blame.c and the location of the ban code in banned.h. Which should be enough to get even a developer seeing this for the first time pointed in the right direction. This doesn't match our ideals perfectly, but it's a pretty good balance. A few alternatives I tried: 1. Instead of using an undeclared variable, using an undeclared function. This shortens the message, because the "each undeclared identifier" message is not needed (and as you can see above, it triggers a separate mention of each of the expansion points). But it doesn't actually stop compilation unless you use -Werror=implicit-function-declaration in your CFLAGS. This is the case for DEVELOPER=1, but not for a default build (on the other hand, we'd eventually produce a link error pointing to the correct source line with the descriptive name). 2. The linux kernel uses a similar mechanism in its BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(), where they actually declare the function but do so with gcc's error attribute. But that's not portable to other compilers (and it also runs afoul of our error() macro). We could make a gcc-specific technique and fallback on other compilers, but it's probably not worth the complexity. It also isn't significantly shorter than the error message shown above. 3. We could drop the BANNED() macro, which would shorten the number of lines in the error. But curiously, removing it (and just expanding strcpy directly to the bogus identifier) causes gcc _not_ to report the original line of code. So this strategy seems to be an acceptable mix of information, portability, simplicity, and robustness, without _too_ much extra clutter. I also tested it with clang, and it looks as good (actually, slightly less cluttered than with gcc). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-04-16gc --auto: exclude base pack if not enough mem to "repack -ad"Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+4
pack-objects could be a big memory hog especially on large repos, everybody knows that. The suggestion to stick a .keep file on the giant base pack to avoid this problem is also known for a long time. Recent patches add an option to do just this, but it has to be either configured or activated manually. This patch lets `git gc --auto` activate this mode automatically when it thinks `repack -ad` will use a lot of memory and start affecting the system due to swapping or flushing OS cache. gc --auto decides to do this based on an estimation of pack-objects memory usage, which is quite accurate at least for the heap part, and whether that fits in half of system memory (the assumption here is for desktop environment where there are many other applications running). This mechanism only kicks in if gc.bigBasePackThreshold is not configured. If it is, it is assumed that the user already knows what they want.

2017-12-11git-compat-util: introduce skip_to_optional_arg()Libravatar Christian Couder1-0/+23
We often accept both a "--key" option and a "--key=<val>" option. These options currently are parsed using something like: if (!strcmp(arg, "--key")) { /* do something */ } else if (skip_prefix(arg, "--key=", &arg)) { /* do something with arg */ } which is a bit cumbersome compared to just: if (skip_to_optional_arg(arg, "--key", &arg)) { /* do something with arg */ } This also introduces skip_to_optional_arg_default() for the few cases where something different should be done when the first argument is exactly "--key" than when it is exactly "--key=". In general it is better for UI consistency and simplicity if "--key" and "--key=" do the same thing though, so that using skip_to_optional_arg() should be encouraged compared to skip_to_optional_arg_default(). Note that these functions can be used to parse any "key=value" string where "key" is also considered as valid, not just command line options.

2017-09-08add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positivesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+20
It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it away. This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know _when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was early in the program, then it's probably a real and important leak. But if it was used right up until program exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress it so that we can see the real leaks. This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so. To understand its design, let's first look at some of the alternatives. Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A leak-checker basically knows two things: 1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the callstack during the allocation. 2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the program (and which are unreachable, but more on that later). Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK to leak. So imagine you have code like this: int cmd_foo(...) { /* this allocates some memory */ char *p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); return 0; } You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(), they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to know about those leaks. So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls some_function". That works, but your annotations are brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of the intermediate code changes, you have to update the suppression. What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about "p" in the first place. However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would report even globals which are still accessible when the leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory (like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on, transitively marking anything reachable from a global as "not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category). So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*() functions are called from other commands). Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That list is reachable even at program exit, which confers recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak. In other words, you can do: int cmd_foo(...) { char *p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); UNLEAK(p); return 0; } to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report. But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has several advantages over actually freeing the memory: 1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p" is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a function which knows how to free all of the struct members. By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers reachability on any pointers it contains (including those found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking heap blocks recursively. 2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is allocated or not. For example: char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function(); It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore our bytes. 3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_ been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip over those bytes as uninteresting. 4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable. This is helpful in cases like this: char *p = some_function(); return another_function(p); Writing this with free() requires: int ret; char *p = some_function(); ret = another_function(p); free(p); return ret; But with unleak we can just write: char *p = some_function(); UNLEAK(p); return another_function(p); This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost. It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with LSAN. Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them both into strbuf_release() calls).

2017-06-15git-compat-util: add a FREE_AND_NULL() wrapper around free(ptr); ptr = NULLLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+6
Add a FREE_AND_NULL() wrapper marco for the common pattern of freeing a pointer and assigning NULL to it right afterwards. The implementation is similar to the (currently unused) XDL_PTRFREE macro in xdiff/xmacros.h added in commit 3443546f6e ("Use a *real* built-in diff generator", 2006-03-24). The only difference is that free() is called unconditionally, see [1]. See [2] for a suggested alternative which does this via a function instead of a macro. As covered in replies to that message, while it's a viable approach, it would introduce caveats which this approach doesn't have, so that potential change is left to a future follow-up change.

Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its contents when we can successfully open it. We can ignore a failure to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open). The exact errors we need to ignore are ENOENT (obviously) and ENOTDIR (less obvious). Instead of repeating comparison of errno with these two constants, introduce a helper function to do so. * jc/noent-notdir: treewide: use is_missing_file_error() where ENOENT and ENOTDIR are checked compat-util: is_missing_file_error()

2017-05-26git_fopen: fix a sparse 'not declared' warningLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-4/+6
If git is built with the FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES build variable set, this would cause sparse to issue a 'not declared, should it be static?' warning on Linux. This is a result of the method employed by 'compat/fopen.c' to suppress the (possible) redefinition of the (system) fopen macro, which also removes the extern declaration of the git_fopen function. In order to suppress the warning, introduce a new macro to suppress the definition (or possibly the re-definition) of the fopen symbol as a macro override. This new macro (SUPPRESS_FOPEN_REDEFINITION) is only defined in 'compat/fopen.c', just prior to the inclusion of the 'git-compat-util.h' header file.

Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot represent some timestamp that the platform allows.

2017-05-15usage.c: drop set_error_handle()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+0
The set_error_handle() function was introduced by 3b331e926 (vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandles, 2015-08-11) so that run-command could send post-fork, pre-exec errors to the parent's original stderr. That use went away in 79319b194 (run-command: eliminate calls to error handling functions in child, 2017-04-19), which pushes all of the error reporting to the parent. This leaves no callers of set_error_handle(). As we're not likely to add any new ones, let's drop it.

2017-05-15usage.c: add BUG() functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
There's a convention in Git's code base to write assertions as: if (...some_bad_thing...) die("BUG: the terrible thing happened"); with the idea that users should never see a "BUG:" message (but if they, it at least gives a clue what happened). We use die() here because it's convenient, but there are a few draw-backs: 1. Without parsing the messages, it's hard for callers to distinguish BUG assertions from regular errors. For instance, it would be nice if the test suite could check that we don't hit any assertions, but test_must_fail will pass BUG deaths as OK. 2. It would be useful to add more debugging features to BUG assertions, like file/line numbers or dumping core. 3. The die() handler can be replaced, and might not actually exit the whole program (e.g., it may just pthread_exit()). This is convenient for normal errors, but for an assertion failure (which is supposed to never happen), we're probably better off taking down the whole process as quickly and cleanly as possible. We could address these by checking in die() whether the error message starts with "BUG", and behaving appropriately. But there's little advantage at that point to sharing the die() code, and only downsides (e.g., we can't change the BUG() interface independently). Moreover, converting all of the existing BUG calls reveals that the test suite does indeed trigger a few of them. Instead, this patch introduces a new BUG() function, which prints an error before dying via SIGABRT. This gives us test suite checking and core dumps. The function is actually a macro (when supported) so that we can show the file/line number. We can convert die("BUG") invocations to BUG() in further patches, dealing with any test fallouts individually.

2017-04-27use uintmax_t for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+4
Previously, we used `unsigned long` for timestamps. This was only a good choice on Linux, where we know implicitly that `unsigned long` is what is used for `time_t`. However, we want to use a different data type for timestamps for two reasons: - there is nothing that says that `unsigned long` should be the same data type as `time_t`, and indeed, on 64-bit Windows for example, it is not: `unsigned long` is 32-bit but `time_t` is 64-bit. - even on 32-bit Linux, where `unsigned long` (and thereby `time_t`) is 32-bit, we *want* to be able to encode timestamps in Git that are currently absurdly far in the future, *even if* the system library is not able to format those timestamps into date strings. So let's just switch to the maximal integer type available, which should be at least 64-bit for all practical purposes these days. It certainly cannot be worse than `unsigned long`, so...

2017-04-27timestamp_t: a new data type for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+2
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit versions). So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type. By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all timestamps' data type in one go. As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`, we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

2017-04-23PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them. There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows, time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type. So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for timestamps.

Currently, Git's source code represents all timestamps as `unsigned long`.
