2013-05-17compate/clipped-write.c: large write(2) fails on Mac OS X/XNULibravatar Filipe Cabecinhas1-0/+5
Due to a bug in the Darwin kernel, write(2) calls have a maximum size of INT_MAX bytes. Introduce a new compat function, clipped_write(), that only writes at most INT_MAX bytes and returns the number of bytes written, as a substitute for write(2), and allow platforms that need this to enable it from the build mechanism with NEEDS_CLIPPED_WRITE. Set it for Mac OS X by default. It may be necessary to include this function on Windows, too. Signed-off-by: Filipe Cabecinhas <filcab+git@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

A regression fix for the logic to detect die() handler triggering itself recursively. * jk/a-thread-only-dies-once: run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine usage: allow pluggable die-recursion checks
2013-04-16usage: allow pluggable die-recursion checksLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When any git code calls die or die_errno, we use a counter to detect recursion into the die functions from any of the helper functions. However, such a simple counter is not good enough for threaded programs, which may call die from a sub-thread, killing only the sub-thread (but incrementing the counter for everyone). Rather than try to deal with threads ourselves here, let's just allow callers to plug in their own recursion-detection function. This is similar to how we handle the die routine (the caller plugs in a die routine which may kill only the sub-thread).

2013-04-15config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOMELibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files, 2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been minimal. Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root", creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems: 1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other proposal that they have to opt into). 2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges, either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed). 3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are not caught. This patch is of type (3). Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at all. An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private. This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors), nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems other than permissions.

2013-03-25Make core.sharedRepository work under cygwin 1.7Libravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-0/+1
When core.sharedRepository is used, set_shared_perm() in path.c needs lstat() to return the correct POSIX permissions. The default for cygwin is core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks = false, which means that the fast implementation in do_stat() is used instead of lstat(). lstat() under cygwin uses the Windows security model to implement POSIX-like permissions. The user, group or everyone bits can be set individually. do_stat() simplifes the file permission bits, and may return a wrong value. The read-only attribute of a file is used to calculate the permissions, resulting in either rw-r--r-- or r--r--r-- One effect of the simplified do_stat() is that t1301 fails. Add a function cygwin_get_st_mode_bits() which returns the POSIX permissions. When not compiling for cygwin, true_mode_bits() in path.c is used. Side note: t1301 passes under cygwin 1.5. The "user write" bit is synchronized with the "read only" attribute of a file: $ chmod 444 x $ attrib x A R C:\temp\pt\x cygwin 1.7 would show A C:\temp\pt\x Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Commit 0f77dea9 ("mingw: move poll out of sys-folder", 24-10-2011), along with other commits in the 'ef/mingw-upload-archive' branch (see commit 7406aa20), effectively reintroduced the same problem addressed by commit 56fb3ddc ("msvc: Fix compilation errors in compat/win32/sys/poll.c", 04-12-2010). In order to fix the compilation errors, we use the same solution adopted in that earlier commit. In particular, we set _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0502 (which would target Windows Server 2003) prior to including the winsock2.h header file. Also, we delete the compat/vcbuild/include/sys/poll.h header file, since it is now redundant and it's presence may cause some confusion.

* jk/suppress-clang-warning: fix clang -Wunused-value warnings for error functions
2013-01-16fix clang -Wunused-value warnings for error functionsLibravatar Max Horn1-1/+1
Commit a469a10 wraps some error calls in macros to give the compiler a chance to do more static analysis on their constant -1 return value. We limit the use of these macros to __GNUC__, since gcc is the primary beneficiary of the new information, and because we use GNU features for handling variadic macros. However, clang also defines __GNUC__, but generates warnings with -Wunused-value when these macros are used in a void context, because the constant "-1" ends up being useless. Gcc does not complain about this case (though it is unclear if it is because it is smart enough to see what we are doing, or too dumb to realize that the -1 is unused). We can squelch the warning by just disabling these macros when clang is in use.

2012-12-19git-compat-util.h: do not #include <sys/param.h> by defaultLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Earlier we allowed platforms that lack <sys/param.h> not to include the header file from git-compat-util.h; we have included this header file since the early days back when we used MAXPATHLEN (which we no longer use) and also depended on it slurping ULONG_MAX (which we get by including stdint.h or inttypes.h these days). It turns out that we can compile our modern codebase just file without including it on many platforms (so far, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, MinGW, Mac OS X, Cygwin, HP-Nonstop, QNX and z/OS are reported to be OK). Let's stop including it by default, and on platforms that need it to be included, leave "make NEEDS_SYS_PARAM_H=YesPlease" as an escape hatch and ask them to report to us, so that we can find out about the real dependency and fix it in a more platform agnostic way.

2012-12-15make error()'s constant return value more visibleLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+11
When git is compiled with "gcc -Wuninitialized -O3", some inlined calls provide an additional opportunity for the compiler to do static analysis on variable initialization. For example, with two functions like this: int get_foo(int *foo) { if (something_that_might_fail() < 0) return error("unable to get foo"); *foo = 0; return 0; } void some_fun(void) { int foo; if (get_foo(&foo) < 0) return -1; printf("foo is %d\n", foo); } If get_foo() is not inlined, then when compiling some_fun, gcc sees only that a pointer to the local variable is passed, and must assume that it is an out parameter that is initialized after get_foo returns. However, when get_foo() is inlined, the compiler may look at all of the code together and see that some code paths in get_foo() do not initialize the variable. As a result, it prints a warning. But what the compiler can't see is that error() always returns -1, and therefore we know that either we return early from some_fun, or foo ends up initialized, and the code is safe. The warning is a false positive. If we can make the compiler aware that error() will always return -1, it can do a better job of analysis. The simplest method would be to inline the error() function. However, this doesn't work, because gcc will not inline a variadc function. We can work around this by defining a macro. This relies on two gcc extensions: 1. Variadic macros (these are present in C99, but we do not rely on that). 2. Gcc treats the "##" paste operator specially between a comma and __VA_ARGS__, which lets our variadic macro work even if no format parameters are passed to error(). Since we are using these extra features, we hide the macro behind an #ifdef. This is OK, though, because our goal was just to help gcc.

2012-10-13config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errorsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+1
Git reads multiple configuration files: settings come first from the system config file (typically /etc/gitconfig), then the xdg config file (typically ~/.config/git/config), then the user's dotfile (~/.gitconfig), then the repository configuration (.git/config). Git has always used access(2) to decide whether to use each file; as an unfortunate side effect, that means that if one of these files is unreadable (e.g., EPERM or EIO), git skips it. So if I use ~/.gitconfig to override some settings but make a mistake and give it the wrong permissions then I am subject to the settings the sysadmin chose for /etc/gitconfig. Better to error out and ask the user to correct the problem. This only affects the user and xdg config files, since the user presumably has enough access to fix their permissions. If the system config file is unreadable, the best we can do is to warn about it so the user knows to notify someone and get on with work in the meantime.

The previous series introduced warnings to multiple places, but it could become tiring to see the warning on the same path over and over again during a single run of Git.

2012-07-08git on Mac OS and precomposed unicodeLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-0/+9
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+, VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if the file name is already decomposed unicode. Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä". As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT. The unicode decomposition causes many problems: - The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different. - Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for consistency in general). - The same for names stored in the index, which should be precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from readdir(). NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from the above. As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal, we can - wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and - normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the precomposed form, to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting "core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true. The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(), precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions. The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git. When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone", "core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false". The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file systems mounted via SAMBA.

2012-05-22ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly messageLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message. While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity functions are being called, this code is triggered behind the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g., receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog; the current message is hard to distinguish from an authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives a little more context. While we're at it, we can factor out all of the cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway, and it lets us make an even more specific error message. The current message also fails to mention errno. While the usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases in our wrapper. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-03-04ctype.c: Fix a sparse warningLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-0/+3
In particular, sparse complains as follows: SP ctype.c ctype.c:30:12: warning: symbol 'tolower_trans_tbl' was not declared.\ Should it be static? An appropriate extern declaration for the 'tolower_trans_tbl' symbol is included in the "cache.h" header file. In order to suppress the warning, therefore, we could replace the "git-compat-util.h" header inclusion with "cache.h", since "cache.h" includes "git-compat-util.h" in turn. Here, however, we choose to move the extern declaration for 'tolower_trans_tbl' into "git-compat-util.h", alongside the other extern declaration from ctype.c for 'sane_ctype'.
