The words "save" and "safe" are both very wonderful words, each with
their own set of meanings. Let's not confuse them with one another save

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);
^~~~~~
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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"

cygwin can use an UNC path like //server/share/repo

$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ git init --bare
However, when we try to push from a local Git repository to this repo,
there is a problem: Git converts the leading "//" into a single "/".
As cygwin handles an UNC path so well, Git can support them better:
- Introduce cygwin_offset_1st_component() which keeps the leading "//",
similar to what Git for Windows does.
- Move CYGWIN out of the POSIX in the tests for path normalization in t0060

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.
This merely allows us to translate exactly what we're doing now to a
less verbose & idiomatic form using a macro, while guaranteeing that
we don't introduce any functional changes.

Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its

to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to

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.

In many places, Git warns about an inaccessible file after a fopen()
failed. To discern these cases from other cases where we want to warn
about inaccessible files, introduce a new helper specifically to test
whether fopen() failed because the current user lacks the permission to
open file in question.

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. Invent a
separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish
timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good
move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the
timestamp_t.

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.

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.

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...

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.

gethostname(2) may not NUL terminate the buffer if hostname does

using garbage past the end of the buffer.

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`. In preparation for using a more appropriate data type, let's
introduce a symbol `parse_timestamp` (currently being defined to
`strtoul`) where appropriate, so that we can later easily switch to,
say, use `strtoull()` instead.

When core.packedGitLimit is exceeded, git will close packs. If there
is a repack operation going on in parallel with a fetch, the fetch
might open a pack, and then be forced to close it due to
packedGitLimit being hit. The repack could then delete the pack
out from under the fetch, causing the fetch to fail.
Increase core.packedGitLimit's default value to prevent
this.
On current 64-bit x86_64 machines, 48 bits of address space are
available. It appears that 64-bit ARM machines have no standard
amount of address space (that is, it varies by manufacturer), and IA64
and POWER machines have the full 64 bits. So 48 bits is the only
limit that we can reasonably care about. We reserve a few bits of the
48-bit address space for the kernel's use (this is not strictly
necessary, but it's better to be safe), and use up to the remaining
45. No git repository will be anywhere near this large any time soon,
so this should prevent the failure.

If the full hostname doesn't fit in the buffer supplied to
gethostname, POSIX does not specify whether the buffer will be
null-terminated, so to be safe, we should do it ourselves. Introduce
new function, xgethostname, which ensures that there is always a \0
at the end of the buffer.
