2021-05-19read-cache: use hashfile instead of git_hash_ctxLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-71/+66
The do_write_index() method in read-cache.c has its own hashing logic and buffering mechanism. Specifically, the ce_write() method was introduced by 4990aadc (Speed up index file writing by chunking it nicely, 2005-04-20) and similar mechanisms were introduced a few months later in c38138cd (git-pack-objects: write the pack files with a SHA1 csum, 2005-06-26). Based on the timing, in the early days of the Git codebase, I figured that these roughly equivalent code paths were never unified only because it got lost in the shuffle. The hashfile API has since been used extensively in other file formats, such as pack-indexes, multi-pack-indexes, and commit-graphs. Therefore, it seems prudent to unify the index writing code to use the same mechanism. I discovered this disparity while trying to create a new index format that uses the chunk-format API. That API uses a hashfile as its base, so it is incompatible with the custom code in read-cache.c. This rewrite is rather straightforward. It replaces all writes to the temporary file with writes to the hashfile struct. This takes care of many of the direct interactions with the_hash_algo. There are still some git_hash_ctx uses remaining: the extension headers are hashed for use in the End of Index Entries (EOIE) extension. This use of the git_hash_ctx is left as-is. There are multiple reasons to not use a hashfile here, including the fact that the data is not actually writing to a file, just a hash computation. These hashes do not block our adoption of the chunk-format API in a future change to the index, so leave it as-is. The internals of the algorithms are mostly identical. Previously, the hashfile API used a smaller 8KB buffer instead of the 128KB buffer from read-cache.c. The previous change already unified these sizes. There is one subtle point: we do not pass the CSUM_FSYNC to the finalize_hashfile() method, which differs from most consumers of the hashfile API. The extra fsync() call indicated by this flag causes a significant peformance degradation that is noticeable for quick commands that write the index, such as "git add". Other consumers can absorb this cost with their more complicated data structure organization, and further writing structures such as pack-files and commit-graphs is rarely in the critical path for common user interactions. Some static methods become orphaned in this diff, so I marked them as MAYBE_UNUSED. The diff is much harder to read if they are deleted during this change. Instead, they will be deleted in the following change. In addition to the test suite passing, I computed indexes using the previous binaries and the binaries compiled after this change, and found the index data to be exactly equal. Finally, I did extensive performance testing of "git update-index --force-write" on repos of various sizes, including one with over 2 million paths at HEAD. These tests demonstrated less than 1% difference in behavior. As expected, the performance should be considered unchanged. The previous changes to increase the hashfile buffer size from 8K to 128K ensured this change would not create a peformance regression.

2021-04-30cygwin: disallow backslashes in file namesLibravatar Adam Dinwoodie1-1/+1
The backslash character is not a valid part of a file name on Windows. If, in Windows, Git attempts to write a file that has a backslash character in the filename, it will be incorrectly interpreted as a directory separator. This caused CVE-2019-1354 in MinGW, as this behaviour can be manipulated to cause the checkout to write to files it ought not write to, such as adding code to the .git/hooks directory. This was fixed by e1d911dd4c (mingw: disallow backslash characters in tree objects' file names, 2019-09-12). However, the vulnerability also exists in Cygwin: while Cygwin mostly provides a POSIX-like path system, it will still interpret a backslash as a directory separator. To avoid this vulnerability, CVE-2021-29468, extend the previous fix to also apply to Cygwin. Similarly, extend the test case added by the previous version of the commit. The test suite doesn't have an easy way to say "run this test if in MinGW or Cygwin", so add a new test prerequisite that covers both. As well as checking behaviour in the presence of paths containing backslashes, the existing test also checks behaviour in the presence of paths that differ only by the presence of a trailing ".". MinGW follows normal Windows application behaviour and treats them as the same path, but Cygwin more closely emulates *nix systems (at the expense of compatibility with native Windows applications) and will create and distinguish between such paths. Gate the relevant bit of that test accordingly.

2021-04-14read-cache: expand on query into sparse-directory entryLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+21
Callers to index_name_pos() or index_name_stage_pos() have a specific path in mind. If that happens to be a path with an ancestor being a sparse-directory entry, it can lead to unexpected results. In the case that we did not find the requested path, check to see if the position _before_ the inserted position is a sparse directory entry that matches the initial segment of the input path (including the directory separator at the end of the directory name). If so, then expand the index to be a full index and search again. This expansion will only happen once per index read. Future enhancements could be more careful to expand only the necessary sparse directory entry, but then we would have a special "not fully sparse, but also not fully expanded" mode that could affect writing the index to file. Since this only occurs if a specific file is requested outside of the sparse checkout definition, this is unlikely to be a common situation.

2021-04-14*: remove 'const' qualifier for struct index_stateLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-5/+5

2021-03-30sparse-index: convert from full to sparseLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+24
If we have a full index, then we can convert it to a sparse index by replacing directories outside of the sparse cone with sparse directory entries. The convert_to_sparse() method does this, when the situation is appropriate. For now, we avoid converting the index to a sparse index if: 1. the index is split. 2. the index is already sparse. 3. sparse-checkout is disabled. 4. sparse-checkout does not use cone mode. Finally, we currently limit the conversion to when the GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX environment variable is enabled. A mode using Git config will be added in a later change. The trickiest thing about this conversion is that we might not be able to mark a directory as a sparse directory just because it is outside the sparse cone. There might be unmerged files within that directory, so we need to look for those. Also, if there is some strange reason why a file is not marked with CE_SKIP_WORKTREE, then we should give up on converting that directory. There is still hope that some of its subdirectories might be able to convert to sparse, so we keep looking deeper. The conversion process is assisted by the cache-tree extension. This is calculated from the full index if it does not already exist. We then abandon the cache-tree as it no longer applies to the newly-sparse index. Thus, this cache-tree will be recalculated in every sparse-full-sparse round-trip until we integrate the cache-tree extension with the sparse index. Some Git commands use the index after writing it. For example, 'git add' will update the index, then write it to disk, then read its entries to report information. To keep the in-memory index in a full state after writing, we re-expand it to a full one after the write. This is wasteful for commands that only write the index and do not read from it again, but that is only the case until we make those commands "sparse aware." We can compare the behavior of the sparse-index in t1092-sparse-checkout-compability.sh by using GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=1 when operating on the 'sparse-index' repo. We can also compare the two sparse repos directly, such as comparing their indexes (when expanded to full in the case of the 'sparse-index' repo). We also verify that the index is actually populated with sparse directory entries. The 'checkout and reset (mixed)' test is marked for failure when comparing a sparse repo to a full repo, but we can compare the two sparse-checkout cases directly to ensure that we are not changing the behavior when using a sparse index.

2021-03-30sparse-index: add 'sdir' index extensionLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+9
The index format does not currently allow for sparse directory entries. This violates some expectations that older versions of Git or third-party tools might not understand. We need an indicator inside the index file to warn these tools to not interact with a sparse index unless they are aware of sparse directory entries. Add a new _required_ index extension, 'sdir', that indicates that the index may contain sparse directory entries. This allows us to continue to use the differences in index formats 2, 3, and 4 before we create a new index version 5 in a later change.

2021-03-30sparse-index: implement ensure_full_index()Libravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+9
We will mark an in-memory index_state as having sparse directory entries with the sparse_index bit. These currently cannot exist, but we will add a mechanism for collapsing a full index to a sparse one in a later change. That will happen at write time, so we must first allow parsing the format before writing it. Commands or methods that require a full index in order to operate can call ensure_full_index() to expand that index in-memory. This requires parsing trees using that index's repository. Sparse directory entries have a specific 'ce_mode' value. The macro S_ISSPARSEDIR(ce->ce_mode) can check if a cache_entry 'ce' has this type. This ce_mode is not possible with the existing index formats, so we don't also verify all properties of a sparse-directory entry, which are: 1. ce->ce_mode == 0040000 2. ce->flags & CE_SKIP_WORKTREE is true 3. ce->name[ce->namelen - 1] == '/' (ends in dir separator) 4. ce->oid references a tree object. These are all semi-enforced in ensure_full_index() to some extent. Any deviation will cause a warning at minimum or a failure in the worst case.

2020-08-18mem-pool: use more standard initialization and finalizationLibravatar Elijah Newren1-8/+13
A typical memory type, such as strbuf, hashmap, or string_list can be stored on the stack or embedded within another structure. mem_pool cannot be, because of how mem_pool_init() and mem_pool_discard() are written. mem_pool_init() does essentially the following (simplified for purposes of explanation here): void mem_pool_init(struct mem_pool **pool...) { *pool = xcalloc(1, sizeof(*pool)); It seems weird to require that mem_pools can only be accessed through a pointer. It also seems slightly dangerous: unlike strbuf_release() or strbuf_reset() or string_list_clear(), all of which put the data structure into a state where it can be re-used after the call, mem_pool_discard(pool) will leave pool pointing at free'd memory. read-cache (and split-index) are the only current users of mem_pools, and they haven't fallen into a use-after-free mistake here, but it seems likely to be problematic for future users especially since several of the current callers of mem_pool_init() will only call it when the mem_pool* is not already allocated (i.e. is NULL). This type of mechanism also prevents finding synchronization points where one can free existing memory and then resume more operations. It would be natural at such points to run something like mem_pool_discard(pool...); and, if necessary, mem_pool_init(&pool...); and then carry on continuing to use the pool. However, this fails badly if several objects had a copy of the value of pool from before these commands; in such a case, those objects won't get the updated value of pool that mem_pool_init() overwrites pool with and they'll all instead be reading and writing from free'd memory. Modify mem_pool_init()/mem_pool_discard() to behave more like strbuf_init()/strbuf_release() or string_list_init()/string_list_clear() In particular: (1) make mem_pool_init() just take a mem_pool* and have it only worry about allocating struct mp_blocks, not the struct mem_pool itself, (2) make mem_pool_discard() free the memory that the pool was responsible for, but leave it in a state where it can be used to allocate more memory afterward (without the need to call mem_pool_init() again).

2020-01-10mingw: safeguard better against backslashes in file namesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget1-6/+6
In 224c7d70fa1 (mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree entries, 2019-12-31), we relaxed the check for backslashes in tree entries to check only index entries. However, the code change was incorrect: it was added to `add_index_entry_with_check()`, not to `add_index_entry()`, so under certain circumstances it was possible to side-step the protection. Besides, the description of that commit purported that all index entries would be checked when in fact they were only checked when being added to the index (there are code paths that do not do that, constructing "transient" index entries). In any case, it was pointed out in one insightful review at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2437#issuecomment-566771835 that it would be a much better idea to teach `verify_path()` to perform the check for a backslash. This is safer, even if it comes with two notable drawbacks: - `verify_path()` cannot say _what_ is wrong with the path, therefore the user will no longer be told that there was a backslash in the path, only that the path was invalid. - The `git apply` command also calls the `verify_path()` function, and might have been able to handle Windows-style paths (i.e. with backslashes instead of forward slashes). This will no longer be possible unless the user (temporarily) sets `core.protectNTFS=false`. Note that `git add <windows-path>` will _still_ work because `normalize_path_copy_len()` will convert the backslashes to forward slashes before hitting the code path that creates an index entry. The clear advantage is that `verify_path()`'s purpose is to check the validity of the file name, therefore we naturally tap into all the code paths that need safeguarding, also implicitly into future code paths. The benefits of that approach outweigh the downsides, so let's move the check from `add_index_entry_with_check()` to `verify_path()`.

During a clone of a repository that contained a file with a backslash in its name in the past, as of v2.24.1(2), Git for Windows prints errors like this: error: filename in tree entry contains backslash: '\' The idea is to prevent Git from even trying to write files with backslashes in their file names: while these characters are valid in file names on other platforms, on Windows it is interpreted as directory separator (which would obviously lead to ambiguities, e.g. when there is a file `a\b` and there is also a file `a/b`). Arguably, this is the wrong layer for that error: As long as the user never checks out the files whose names contain backslashes, there should not be any problem in the first place. So let's loosen the requirements: we now leave tree entries with backslashes in their file names alone, but we do require any entries that are added to the Git index to contain no backslashes on Windows. Note: just as before, the check is guarded by `core.protectNTFS` (to allow overriding the check by toggling that config setting), and it is _only_ performed on Windows, as the backslash is not a directory separator elsewhere, even when writing to NTFS-formatted volumes. An alternative approach would be to try to prevent creating files with backslashes in their file names. However, that comes with its own set of problems. For example, `git config -f C:\ProgramData\Git\config ...` is a very valid way to specify a custom config location, and we obviously do _not_ want to prevent that. Therefore, the approach chosen in this patch would appear to be better.

2019-12-05mingw: refuse to access paths with trailing spaces or periodsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+3
When creating a directory on Windows whose path ends in a space or a period (or chains thereof), the Win32 API "helpfully" trims those. For example, `mkdir("abc ");` will return success, but actually create a directory called `abc` instead. This stems back to the DOS days, when all file names had exactly 8 characters plus exactly 3 characters for the file extension, and the only way to have shorter names was by padding with spaces. Sadly, this "helpful" behavior is a bit inconsistent: after a successful `mkdir("abc ");`, a `mkdir("abc /def")` will actually _fail_ (because the directory `abc ` does not actually exist). Even if it would work, we now have a serious problem because a Git repository could contain directories `abc` and `abc `, and on Windows, they would be "merged" unintentionally. As these paths are illegal on Windows, anyway, let's disallow any accesses to such paths on that Operating System. For practical reasons, this behavior is still guarded by the config setting `core.protectNTFS`: it is possible (and at least two regression tests make use of it) to create commits without involving the worktree. In such a scenario, it is of course possible -- even on Windows -- to create such file names. Among other consequences, this patch disallows submodules' paths to end in spaces on Windows (which would formerly have confused Git enough to try to write into incorrect paths, anyway). While this patch does not fix a vulnerability on its own, it prevents an attack vector that was exploited in demonstrations of a number of recently-fixed security bugs. The regression test added to `t/t7417-submodule-path-url.sh` reflects that attack vector. Note that we have to adjust the test case "prevent git~1 squatting on Windows" in `t/t7415-submodule-names.sh` because of a very subtle issue. It tries to clone two submodules whose names differ only in a trailing period character, and as a consequence their git directories differ in the same way. Previously, when Git tried to clone the second submodule, it thought that the git directory already existed (because on Windows, when you create a directory with the name `b.` it actually creates `b`), but with this patch, the first submodule's clone will fail because of the illegal name of the git directory. Therefore, when cloning the second submodule, Git will take a different code path: a fresh clone (without an existing git directory). Both code paths fail to clone the second submodule, both because the the corresponding worktree directory exists and is not empty, but the error messages are worded differently.

2019-12-05is_ntfs_dotgit(): only verify the leading segmentLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
The config setting `core.protectNTFS` is specifically designed to work not only on Windows, but anywhere, to allow for repositories hosted on, say, Linux servers to be protected against NTFS-specific attack vectors. As a consequence, `is_ntfs_dotgit()` manually splits backslash-separated paths (but does not do the same for paths separated by forward slashes), under the assumption that the backslash might not be a valid directory separator on the _current_ Operating System. However, the two callers, `verify_path()` and `fsck_tree()`, are supposed to feed only individual path segments to the `is_ntfs_dotgit()` function. This causes a lot of duplicate scanning (and very inefficient scanning, too, as the inner loop of `is_ntfs_dotgit()` was optimized for readability rather than for speed. Let's simplify the design of `is_ntfs_dotgit()` by putting the burden of splitting the paths by backslashes as directory separators on the callers of said function. Consequently, the `verify_path()` function, which already splits the path by directory separators, now treats backslashes as directory separators _explicitly_ when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on, even on platforms where the backslash is _not_ a directory separator. Note that we have to repeat some code in `verify_path()`: if the backslash is not a directory separator on the current Operating System, we want to allow file names like `\`, but we _do_ want to disallow paths that are clearly intended to cause harm when the repository is cloned on Windows. The `fsck_tree()` function (the other caller of `is_ntfs_dotgit()`) now needs to look for backslashes in tree entries' names specifically when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on. While it would be tempting to completely disallow backslashes in that case (much like `fsck` reports names containing forward slashes as "full paths"), this would be overzealous: when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on in a non-Windows setup, backslashes are perfectly valid characters in file names while we _still_ want to disallow tree entries that are clearly designed to exploit NTFS-specific behavior. This simplification will make subsequent changes easier to implement, such as turning `core.protectNTFS` on by default (not only on Windows) or protecting against attack vectors involving NTFS Alternate Data Streams. Incidentally, this change allows for catching malicious repositories that contain tree entries of the form `dir\.gitmodules` already on the server side rather than only on the client side (and previously only on Windows): in contrast to `is_ntfs_dotgit()`, the `is_ntfs_dotgitmodules()` function already expects the caller to split the paths by directory separators.
