2019-08-13packfile: drop release_pack_memory()Libravatar Jeff King1-3/+0
Long ago, in 97bfeb34df (Release pack windows before reporting out of memory., 2006-12-24), we taught xmalloc() and friends to try unmapping pack windows when malloc() failed. It's unlikely that his helps a lot in practice, and it has some downsides. First, the downsides: 1. It makes xmalloc() not thread-safe. We've worked around this in pack-objects.c, which installs its own locking version of the try_to_free_routine(). But other threaded code doesn't. 2. It makes the system as a whole harder to reason about. Functions which allocate heap memory under the hood may have farther-reaching effects than expected. That might be worth the tradeoff if there's a benefit. But in practice, it seems unlikely. We're generally dealing with mmap'd files, so the OS is going to do a much better job at responding to memory pressure by dropping individual pages (the exception is systems with NO_MMAP, but even there the OS can probably respond just as well with swapping). So the only thing we're really freeing is address space. On 64-bit systems, we have plenty of that to go around. On 32-bit systems, it could possibly help. But around the same time we made two other changes: 77ccc5bbd1 (Introduce new config option for mmap limit., 2006-12-23) and 60bb8b1453 (Fully activate the sliding window pack access., 2006-12-23). Together that means that a 32-bit system should have no more than 256MB total of packed-git mmaps at one time, split between a few 32MB windows. It's unlikely we have any address space problems since then, but we don't have any data since the features were all added at the same time. Likewise, xmmap() will try to free memory. At first glance, it seems like we'd need this (when we try to mmap a new window, we might need to close an old one to save address space on a 32-bit system). But we're saved again by core.packedGitLimit: if we're going to exceed our 256MB limit, we'll close an existing window before we even call mmap(). So it seems unlikely that this feature is actually doing anything useful. And while we don't have reports of it harming anything (probably because it rarely if ever kicks in), it would be nice to simplify the system overall. This patch drops the whole try_to_free system from xmalloc(), as well as the manual pack memory release in xmmap().

2019-05-05*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using sedLibravatar Denton Liu1-10/+10
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Finish the job by removing all instances of "extern" for function declarations in headers using sed. This was done by running the following on my system with sed 4.2.2: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/' Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible. Then, leftover instances of extern were found by running $ git grep -w -C3 extern \*.{c,h} and manually checking the output. No other instances were found. Note that the regex used specifically excludes function variables which _should_ be left as extern. Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.

2019-02-22trace2: create new combined trace facilityLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-0/+7
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.

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.

2018-11-21pack-objects: zero-initialize tree_depth/layer arraysLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Commit 108f530385 (pack-objects: move tree_depth into 'struct packing_data', 2018-08-16) started maintaining a tree_depth array that matches the "objects" array. We extend the array when: 1. The objects array is extended, in which case we use realloc to extend the tree_depth array. 2. A caller asks to store a tree_depth for object N, and this is the first such request; we create the array from scratch and store the value for N. In the latter case, though, we use regular xmalloc(), and the depth values for any objects besides N is undefined. This happens to not trigger a bug with the current code, but the reasons are quite subtle: - we never ask about the depth for any object with index i < N. This is because we store the depth immediately for all trees and blobs. So any such "i" must be a non-tree, and therefore we will never need to care about its depth (in fact, we really only care about the depth of trees). - there are no objects at this point with index i > N, because we always fill in the depth for a tree immediately after its object entry is created (we may still allocate uninitialized depth entries, but they'll be initialized by packlist_alloc() when it initializes the entry in the "objects" array). So it works, but only by chance. To be defensive, let's zero the array, which matches the "unset" values which would be handed out by oe_tree_depth() already.

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.

2018-07-26automatically 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>

2018-05-21skip_prefix: add case-insensitive variantLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+17
We have the convenient skip_prefix() helper, but if you want to do case-insensitive matching, you're stuck doing it by hand. We could add an extra parameter to the function to let callers ask for this, but the function is small and somewhat performance-critical. Let's just re-implement it for the case-insensitive version.

2018-05-06Convert remaining die*(BUG) messagesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
These were not caught by the previous commit, as they did not match the regular expression. While at it, remove the localization from one instance: we never want BUG() messages to be translated, as they target Git developers, not the end user (hence it would be quite unhelpful to not only burden the translators, but then even end up with a bug report in a language that no core Git contributor understands).

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.

2017-09-20git-compat-util: make UNLEAK less error-proneLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-2/+2
Commit 0e5bba5 ("add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positives", 2017-09-08) introduced an UNLEAK macro to be used as "UNLEAK(var);", but its existing definitions leave semicolons that act as empty statements, which will lead to syntax errors, e.g. if (condition) UNLEAK(var); else something_else(var); would be broken with two statements between if (condition) and else. Lose the excess semicolon from the end of the macro replacement text. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
