2019-03-20Merge branch 'ma/clear-repository-format'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
The setup code has been cleaned up to avoid leaks around the repository_format structure. * ma/clear-repository-format: setup: fix memory leaks with `struct repository_format` setup: free old value before setting `work_tree`
2019-03-01setup: fix memory leaks with `struct repository_format`Libravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+2
After we set up a `struct repository_format`, it owns various pieces of allocated memory. We then either use those members, because we decide we want to use the "candidate" repository format, or we discard the candidate / scratch space. In the first case, we transfer ownership of the memory to a few global variables. In the latter case, we just silently drop the struct and end up leaking memory. Introduce an initialization macro `REPOSITORY_FORMAT_INIT` and a function `clear_repository_format()`, to be used on each side of `read_repository_format()`. To have a clear and simple memory ownership, let all users of `struct repository_format` duplicate the strings that they take from it, rather than stealing the pointers. Call `clear_...()` at the start of `read_...()` instead of just zeroing the struct, since we sometimes enter the function multiple times. Thus, it is important to initialize the struct before calling `read_...()`, so document that. It's also important because we might not even call `read_...()` before we call `clear_...()`, see, e.g., builtin/init-db.c. Teach `read_...()` to clear the struct on error, so that it is reset to a safe state, and document this. (In `setup_git_directory_gently()`, we look at `repo_fmt.hash_algo` even if `repo_fmt.version` is -1, which we weren't actually supposed to do per the API. After this commit, that's ok.) We inherit the existing code's combining "error" and "no version found". Both are signalled through `version == -1` and now both cause us to clear any partial configuration we have picked up. For "extensions.*", that's fine, since they require a positive version number. For "core.bare" and "core.worktree", we're already verifying that we have a non-negative version number before using them.

2019-02-22trace2: create new combined trace facilityLibravatar Jeff Hostetler1-0/+2
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.

2018-12-05repository: repo_submodule_init to take a submodule structLibravatar Stefan Beller1-17/+10
When constructing a struct repository for a submodule for some revision of the superproject where the submodule is not contained in the index, it may not be present in the working tree currently either. In that situation giving a 'path' argument is not useful. Upgrade the repo_submodule_init function to take a struct submodule instead. The submodule struct can be obtained via submodule_from_{path, name} or an artificial submodule struct can be passed in. While we are at it, rename the repository struct in the repo_submodule_init function, which is to be initialized, to a name that is not confused with the struct submodule as easily. Perform such renames in similar functions as well. Also move its documentation into the header file.

2018-11-13sha1-file: use an object_directory for the main object dirLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+7
Our handling of alternate object directories is needlessly different from the main object directory. As a result, many places in the code basically look like this: do_something(r->objects->objdir); for (odb = r->objects->alt_odb_list; odb; odb = odb->next) do_something(odb->path); That gets annoying when do_something() is non-trivial, and we've resorted to gross hacks like creating fake alternates (see find_short_object_filename()). Instead, let's give each raw_object_store a unified list of object_directory structs. The first will be the main store, and everything after is an alternate. Very few callers even care about the distinction, and can just loop over the whole list (and those who care can just treat the first element differently). A few observations: - we don't need r->objects->objectdir anymore, and can just mechanically convert that to r->objects->odb->path - object_directory's path field needs to become a real pointer rather than a FLEX_ARRAY, in order to fill it with expand_base_dir() - we'll call prepare_alt_odb() earlier in many functions (i.e., outside of the loop). This may result in us calling it even when our function would be satisfied looking only at the main odb. But this doesn't matter in practice. It's not a very expensive operation in the first place, and in the majority of cases it will be a noop. We call it already (and cache its results) in prepare_packed_git(), and we'll generally check packs before loose objects. So essentially every program is going to call it immediately once per program. Arguably we should just prepare_alt_odb() immediately upon setting up the repository's object directory, which would save us sprinkling calls throughout the code base (and forgetting to do so has been a source of subtle bugs in the past). But I've stopped short of that here, since there are already a lot of other moving parts in this patch. - Most call sites just get shorter. The check_and_freshen() functions are an exception, because they have entry points to handle local and nonlocal directories separately.

2018-05-10repository: fix free problem with repo_clear(the_repository)Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
the_repository is special. One of the special things about it is that it does not allocate a new index_state object like submodules but points to the global the_index variable instead. As a global variable, the_index cannot be free()'d. Add an exception for this in repo_clear(). In the future perhaps we would be able to allocate the_repository's index on heap too. Then we can revert this. the_repository->index remains pointed to a clean the_index even after repo_clear() so that it could still be used next time (e.g. in a crazy use case where a dev switches repo in the same process).

Convert the existing global cache for parsed objects (obj_hash) into repository-specific parsed object caches. Existing code that uses obj_hash are modified to use the parsed object cache of the_repository; future patches will use the parsed object caches of other repositories. Another future use case for a pool of objects is ease of memory management in revision walking: If we can free the rev-list related memory early in pack-objects (e.g. part of repack operation) then it could lower memory pressure significantly when running on large repos.

2018-03-29submodule: fixup nested submodules after moving the submoduleLibravatar Stefan Beller1-3/+3
connect_work_tree_and_git_dir is used to connect a submodule worktree with its git directory and vice versa after events that require a reconnection such as moving around the working tree. As submodules can have nested submodules themselves, we'd also want to fix the nested submodules when asked to. Add an option to recurse into the nested submodules and connect them as well. As submodules are identified by their name (which determines their git directory in relation to their superproject's git directory) internally and by their path in the working tree of the superproject, we need to make sure that the mapping of name <-> path is kept intact. We can do that in the git-mv command by writing out the gitmodules file first and then forcing a reload of the submodule config machinery.

The raw object store field will contain any objects needed for access to objects in a given repository. This patch introduces the raw object store and populates it with the `objectdir`, which used to be part of the repository struct. As the struct gains members, we'll also populate the function to clear the memory for these members. In a later step, we'll introduce a struct object_parser, that will complement the object parsing in a repository struct: The raw object parser is the layer that will provide access to raw object content, while the higher level object parser code will parse raw objects and keeps track of parenthood and other object relationships using 'struct object'.

2018-01-19repository: pre-initialize hash algo pointerLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
There are various git subcommands (among them, clone) which don't set up the repository (that is, they lack RUN_SETUP or RUN_SETUP_GENTLY) but end up needing to have information about the hash algorithm in use. Because the hash algorithm is part of struct repository and it's only initialized in repository setup, we can end up dereferencing a NULL pointer in some cases if we call one of these subcommands and look up the empty blob or empty tree values. A "git clone" of a project that has two paths that differ only in case suffers from this if it is run on a case insensitive platform. When the command attempts to check out one of these two paths after checking out the other one, the checkout codepath needs to see if the version that is already on the filesystem (which should not happen if the FS were case sensitive) is dirty, and it needs to exercise the hashing code at that point. In the future, we can add a command line option for this or read it from the configuration, but until we're ready to expose that functionality to the user, simply initialize the repository structure to use the current hash algorithm, SHA-1.

2018-01-19read-cache: fix reading the shared index for other reposLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-1/+1
read_index_from() takes a path argument for the location of the index file. For reading the shared index in split index mode however it just ignores that path argument, and reads it from the gitdir of the current repository. This works as long as an index in the_repository is read. Once that changes, such as when we read the index of a submodule, or of a different working tree than the current one, the gitdir of the_repository will no longer contain the appropriate shared index, and git will fail to read it. For example t3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh was broken with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX set in 188dce131f ("ls-files: use repository object", 2017-06-22), and t7814-grep-recurse-submodules.sh was also broken in a similar manner, probably by introducing struct repository there, although I didn't track down the exact commit for that. be489d02d2 ("revision.c: --indexed-objects add objects from all worktrees", 2017-08-23) breaks with split index mode in a similar manner, not erroring out when it can't read the index, but instead carrying on with pruning, without taking the index of the worktree into account. Fix this by passing an additional gitdir parameter to read_index_from, to indicate where it should look for and read the shared index from. read_cache_from() defaults to using the gitdir of the_repository. As it is mostly a convenience macro, having to pass get_git_dir() for every call seems overkill, and if necessary users can have more control by using read_index_from().

In future versions of Git, we plan to support an additional hash algorithm. Integrate the enumeration of hash algorithms with repository setup, and store a pointer to the enumerated data in struct repository. Of course, we currently only support SHA-1, so hard-code this value in read_repository_format. In the future, we'll enumerate this value from the configuration. Add a constant, the_hash_algo, which points to the hash_algo structure pointer in the repository global. Note that this is the hash which is used to serialize data to disk, not the hash which is used to display items to the user. The transition plan anticipates that these may be different. We can add an additional element in the future (say, ui_hash_algo) to provide for this case. Include repository.h in cache.h since we now need to have access to these struct and variable definitions.

Ideally we'd free the existing gitdir field before assigning the new one, to avoid a memory leak.

Rather than put the burden on callers to make a copy of the string (only to free it later, since we'll make a copy of it ourselves), let's solve the problem inside set_git_dir().

2017-06-23config: read config from a repository objectLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+7
Teach the config machinery to read config information from a repository object. This involves storing a 'struct config_set' inside the repository object and adding a number of functions (repo_config*) to be able to query a repository's config. The current config API enables lazy-loading of the config. This means that when 'git_config_get_int()' is called, if the_config_set hasn't been populated yet, then it will be populated and properly initialized by reading the necessary config files (system wide .gitconfig, user's home .gitconfig, and the repository's config). To maintain this paradigm, the new API to read from a repository object's config will also perform this lazy-initialization. Since both APIs (git_config_get* and repo_config_get*) have the same semantics we can migrate the default config to be stored within 'the_repository' and just have the 'git_config_get*' family of functions redirect to the 'repo_config_get*' functions.

2017-06-23repository: introduce the repository objectLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+159
Introduce the repository object 'struct repository' which can be used to hold all state pertaining to a git repository. Some of the benefits of object-ifying a repository are: 1. Make the code base more readable and easier to reason about. 2. Allow for working on multiple repositories, specifically submodules, within the same process. Currently the process for working on a submodule involves setting up an argv_array of options for a particular command and then launching a child process to execute the command in the context of the submodule. This is clunky and can require lots of little hacks in order to ensure correctness. Ideally it would be nice to simply pass a repository and an options struct to a command. 3. Eliminating reliance on global state will make it easier to enable the use of threading to improve performance.
