2016-08-25Merge branch 'bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either removing or renaming the temporary file. When the process spawns a subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has the file descriptor still open. Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT). * bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile: mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles
2016-08-23mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processesLibravatar Ben Wijen1-0/+4
When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them. The symptom: Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed. Should I try again? (y/n) Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr). Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g. git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles. This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows. As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL. This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git" potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to make it harder to make mistakes. * jk/common-main: mingw: declare main()'s argv as const common-main: call git_setup_gettext() common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default() common-main: call sanitize_stdfds() common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path() add an extra level of indirection to main()

2016-07-01add an extra level of indirection to main()Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In others it is a requirement for using certain functions in libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called git_extract_argv0_path()). Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c version of main(). However, there are still a few external commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are not always consistent. Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can run this standard startup. We basically have two options to do this: - the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a wrapper that calls mingw_startup(). The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the preprocessor. The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is quietly inserting new code. - the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(), and git.c's main() calls them. This is much more explicit, which may make things more obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_ cmd_foo() to call). The downside is that each of the builtins must define cmd_foo(), instead of just main(). This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is linked against. We link common-main.o against anything that links against libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main() function automatically (it has no callers). The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main(). I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which means that all of the programs also need to match its signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to "const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well. This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature (which also matches the way builtins are defined).

2016-06-23add skip_prefix_mem helperLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+17
The skip_prefix function has been very useful for simplifying pointer arithmetic and avoiding repeated magic numbers, but we have no equivalent for length-limited buffers. So we're stuck with: if (3 <= len && skip_prefix(buf, "foo", &buf)) len -= 3; That's not that complicated, but it needs to use magic numbers for the length of the prefix (or else write out strlen("foo"), repeating the string). By using a helper, we can get the string length behind the scenes (and often at compile time for string literals).

2016-03-16add helpers for detecting size_t overflowLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+34
Performing computations on size_t variables that we feed to xmalloc and friends can be dangerous, as an integer overflow can cause us to allocate a much smaller chunk than we realized. We already have unsigned_add_overflows(), but let's add unsigned_mult_overflows() to that. Furthermore, rather than have each site manually check and die on overflow, we can provide some helpers that will: - promote the arguments to size_t, so that we know we are doing our computation in the same size of integer that will ultimately be fed to xmalloc - check and die on overflow - return the result so that computations can be done in the parameter list of xmalloc. These functions are a lot uglier to use than normal arithmetic operators (you have to do "st_add(foo, bar)" instead of "foo + bar"). To at least limit the damage, we also provide multi-valued versions. So rather than: st_add(st_add(a, b), st_add(c, d)); you can write: st_add4(a, b, c, d); This isn't nearly as elegant as a varargs function, but it's a lot harder to get it wrong. You don't have to remember to add a sentinel value at the end, and the compiler will complain if you get the number of arguments wrong. This patch adds only the numbered variants required to convert the current code base; we can easily add more later if needed.

2016-02-22add helpers for allocating flex-array structsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+62
Allocating a struct with a flex array is pretty simple in practice: you over-allocate the struct, then copy some data into the over-allocation. But it can be a slight pain to make sure you're allocating and copying the right amounts. This patch adds a few helpers to turn simple cases of flex-array struct allocation into a one-liner that properly checks for overflow. See the embedded documentation for details. Ideally we could provide a more flexible version that could handle multiple strings, like: FLEX_ALLOC_FMT(ref, name, "%s%s", prefix, name); But we have to implement this as a macro (because of the offset calculation of the flex member), which means we would need all compilers to support variadic macros.

2016-02-22harden REALLOC_ARRAY and xcalloc against size_t overflowLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
REALLOC_ARRAY inherently involves a multiplication which can overflow size_t, resulting in a much smaller buffer than we think we've allocated. We can easily harden it by using st_mult() to check for overflow. Likewise, we can add ALLOC_ARRAY to do the same thing for xmalloc calls. xcalloc() should already be fine, because it takes the two factors separately, assuming the system calloc actually checks for overflow. However, before we even hit the system calloc(), we do our memory_limit_check, which involves a multiplication. Let's check for overflow ourselves so that this limit cannot be bypassed.

So far, we only had one user of that function: credential-cache--daemon (which was only compiled when Unix sockets are available, anyway). But now we also have `builtin/am.c` as user, so we need it. Since `dirname()` is a sibling of `basename()`, we simply put our very own `gitdirname()` implementation next to `gitbasename()` and use it if `NO_LIBGEN_H` has been set.

2015-10-05probe_utf8_pathname_composition: use internal strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
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.

2015-09-25add xsnprintf helper functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
There are a number of places in the code where we call sprintf(), with the assumption that the output will fit into the buffer. In many cases this is true (e.g., formatting a number into a large buffer), but it is hard to tell immediately from looking at the code. It would be nice if we had some run-time check to make sure that our assumption is correct (and to communicate to readers of the code that we are not blindly calling sprintf, but have actually thought about this case). This patch introduces xsnprintf, which behaves just like snprintf, except that it dies whenever the output is truncated. This acts as a sort of assert() for these cases, which can help find places where the assumption is violated (as opposed to truncating and proceeding, which may just silently give a wrong answer).

On 64 bits architecture, checking that the cast does not change the value catches most errors, but when sizeof(int) == sizeof(long) (e.g. i386), the check does nothing. Unfortunately, strtoul silently accepts negative values, and as a result strtoul_ui("-1", ...) raised no error. This patch catches negative values before it's too late, i.e. before calling strtoul.

To solve this, commit a5487dd duplicates the stderr fd and installs die and error handlers to direct the output appropriately (which later turned into the vwritef function). This has two downsides, though: - we make multiple calls to write(), which contradicts the "write at once" logic from d048a96 (print warning/error/fatal messages in one shot, 2007-11-09). - the custom handlers basically duplicate the normal handlers. They're only a few lines of code, but we should not have to repeat the magic "exit(128)", for example. We can solve the first by using fdopen() on the duplicated descriptor. We can't pass this to vreportf, but we could introduce a new vreportf_to to handle it. However, to fix the second problem, we instead introduce a new "set_error_handle" function, which lets the normal vreportf calls output to a handle besides stderr. Thus we can get rid of our custom handlers entirely, and just ask the regular handlers to output to our new descriptor. And as vwritef has no more callers, it can just go away.

2015-08-04wrapper: implement xfopen()Libravatar Paul Tan1-0/+1
A common usage pattern of fopen() is to check if it succeeded, and die() if it failed: FILE *fp = fopen(path, "w"); if (!fp) die_errno(_("could not open '%s' for writing"), path); Implement a wrapper function xfopen() for the above, so that we can save a few lines of code and make the die() messages consistent.

2015-08-04wrapper: implement xopen()Libravatar Paul Tan1-0/+1
A common usage pattern of open() is to check if it was successful, and die() if it was not: int fd = open(path, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0777); if (fd < 0) die_errno(_("Could not open '%s' for writing."), path); Implement a wrapper function xopen() that does the above so that we can save a few lines of code, and make the die() messages consistent.

2015-06-24Fix definition of ARRAY_SIZE for non-gcc buildsLibravatar Charles Bailey1-5/+3
The improved ARRAY_SIZE macro uses BARF_UNLESS_AN_ARRAY which expands to a valid check for recent gcc versions and to 0 for older gcc versions but is not defined on non-gcc builds. Non-gcc builds need this macro to expand to 0 as well. The current outer test (defined(__GNUC__) && (__GNUC__ >= 3)) is a strictly weaker condition than the inner test (GIT_GNUC_PREREQ(3, 1)) so we can omit the outer test and cause the BARF_UNLESS_AN_ARRAY macro to be defined correctly on non-gcc builds as well as gcc builds with older versions.
