Most callers to this function already require that they are in a
git repository, but there is an exception: "git apply" uses
has_sha1_file to avoid work if the result of applying a binary

When sha1_loose_object_info() finds that a loose object file
cannot be stat(2)ed or mmap(2)ed, it returns -1 to signal an
error to the caller. However, if it found that the loose
object file is corrupt and the object data cannot be used
from it, it stuffs OBJ_BAD into "type" field of the
object_info, but returns zero (i.e., success), which can
confuse callers.
This is due to 052fe5eac (sha1_loose_object_info: make type
lookup optional, 2013-07-12), which switched the return to a
strict success/error, rather than returning the type (but
botched the return).
Callers of regular sha1_object_info() don't notice the
difference, as that function returns the type (which is
OBJ_BAD in this case). However, direct callers of
sha1_object_info_extended() see the function return success,
but without setting any meaningful values in the object_info
struct, leading them to access potentially uninitialized
memory.
The easiest way to see the bug is via "cat-file -s", which
will happily ignore the corruption and report whatever
value happened to be in the "size" variable.

These calls to snprintf should always succeed, because their
input is small and fixed. Let's use xsnprintf to make sure
this is the case (and to make auditing for actual truncation
easier).
These could be candidates for turning into heap buffers, but
they fall into a few broad categories that make it not worth
doing:
- formatting single numbers is simple enough that we can
see the result should fit
- the size of a sha1 is likewise well-known, and I didn't
want to cause unnecessary conflicts with the ongoing
process to convert these constants to GIT_MAX_HEXSZ
- the interface for curl_errorstr is dictated by curl

Subject: clear_delta_base_cache(): don't modify hashmap while iterating
Removing entries while iterating causes fast-import to
access an already-freed `struct packed_git`, leading to
various confusing errors.
What happens is that clear_delta_base_cache() drops the
whole contents of the cache by iterating over the hashmap,
calling release_delta_base_cache() on each entry. That
function removes the item from the hashmap. The hashmap code
may then shrink the table, but the hashmap_iter struct
retains an offset from the old table.
As a result, the next call to hashmap_iter_next() may claim
that the iteration is done, even though some items haven't
been visited.
The only caller of clear_delta_base_cache() is fast-import,
which wants to clear the cache because it is discarding the
packed_git struct for its temporary pack. So by failing to
remove all of the entries, we still have references to the
freed packed_git.
To make things even more confusing, this doesn't seem to
trigger with the test suite, because it depends on
complexities like the size of the hash table, which entries
got cleared, whether we try to access them before they're
evicted from the cache, etc.
So I've been able to identify the problem with large
imports like freebsd's svn import, or a fast-export of
linux.git. But nothing that would be reasonable to run as
part of the normal test suite.
We can fix this easily by iterating over the lru linked list
instead of the hashmap. They both contain the same entries,
and we can use the "safe" variant of the list iterator,
which exists for exactly this case.
Let's also add a warning to the hashmap API documentation to
reduce the chances of getting bit by this again.

A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage
objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot
have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn
made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path. This
has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when
appending such a path to the colon-separated list.

When a loose tree or commit is read by fsck (or any git
program), unpack_sha1_rest() checks whether there is extra
cruft at the end of the object file, after the zlib data.
Blobs that are streamed, however, do not have this check.
For normal git operations, it's not a big deal. We know the
sha1 and size checked out, so we have the object bytes we
wanted. The trailing garbage doesn't affect what we're
trying to do.
But since the point of fsck is to find corruption or other
problems, it should be more thorough. This patch teaches its
loose-sha1 reader to detect extra bytes after the zlib
stream and complain.

It's surprisingly hard to ask the sha1_file code to open a
_specific_ incarnation of a loose object. Most of the
functions take a sha1, and loop over the various object
types (packed versus loose) and locations (local versus
alternates) at a low level.
However, some tools like fsck need to look at a specific
file. This patch gives them a function they can use to open
the loose object at a given path.
The implementation unfortunately ends up repeating bits of
related functions, but there's not a good way around it
without some major refactoring of the whole sha1_file stack.
We need to mmap the specific file, then partially read the
zlib stream to know whether we're streaming or not, and then
finally either stream it or copy the data to a buffer.
We can do that by assembling some of the more arcane
internal sha1_file functions, but we end up having to
essentially reimplement unpack_sha1_file(), along with the
streaming bits of check_sha1_signature().
Still, most of the ugliness is contained in the new
function, and the interface is clean enough that it may be
reusable (though it seems unlikely anything but git-fsck
would care about opening a specific file).

When we fail to open a corrupt loose object, we report an
error and mention the filename via sha1_file_name().
However, that function will always give us a path in the
local repository, whereas the corrupt object may have come
from an alternate. The result is a very misleading error
message.
Teach the open_sha1_file() and stat_sha1_file() helpers to
pass back the path they found, so that we can report it
correctly.
Note that the pointers we return go to static storage (e.g.,
from sha1_file_name()), which is slightly dangerous.
However, these helpers are static local helpers, and the
names are used for immediately generating error messages.
The simplicity is an acceptable tradeoff for the danger.

Add a function that tries to create a file and any containing

The actual file creation is done by a callback function, which, if it

of open(). raceproof_create_file() detects such failures, and
respectively either tries to delete empty directories that might be in
the way of the file or tries to create the containing directories. Then
it retries the callback function.

We read lists of alternates from objects/info/alternates
files (delimited by newline), as well as from the
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES environment variable
(delimited by colon or semi-colon, depending on the
platform).
There's no mechanism for quoting the delimiters, so it's
impossible to specify an alternate path that contains a
colon in the environment, or one that contains a newline in
a file. We've lived with that restriction for ages because
both alternates and filenames with colons are relatively
rare, and it's only a problem when the two meet. But since
722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until
pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03), which builds on the
alternates system, every push causes the receiver to set
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES internally.
It would be convenient to have some way to quote the
delimiter so that we can represent arbitrary paths.
The simplest thing would be an escape character before a
quoted delimiter (e.g., "\:" as a literal colon). But that
creates a backwards compatibility problem: any path which
uses that escape character is now broken, and we've just
shifted the problem. We could choose an unlikely escape
character (e.g., something from the non-printable ASCII
range), but that's awkward to use.
Instead, let's treat names as unquoted unless they begin
with a double-quote, in which case they are interpreted via
our usual C-stylke quoting rules. This also breaks
backwards-compatibility, but in a smaller way: it only
matters if your file has a double-quote as the very _first_
character in the path (whereas an escape character is a
problem anywhere in the path). It's also consistent with
many other parts of git, which accept either a bare pathname
or a double-quoted one, and the sender can choose to quote
or not as required.

Fix a corner-case regression in a topic that graduated during the
v2.11 cycle.
* jk/alt-odb-cleanup:
alternates: re-allow relative paths from environment
|
|
Commit 670c359da (link_alt_odb_entry: handle normalize_path
errors, 2016-10-03) regressed the handling of relative paths
in the GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES variable. It's not
entirely clear this was ever meant to work, but it _has_
worked for several years, so this commit restores the
original behavior.
When we get a path in GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES, we
add it the path to the list of alternate object directories
as if it were found in objects/info/alternates, but with one
difference: we do not provide the link_alt_odb_entry()
function with a base for relative paths. That function
doesn't turn it into an absolute path, and we end up feeding
the relative path to the strbuf_normalize_path() function.
Most relative paths break out of the top-level directory
(e.g., "../foo.git/objects"), and thus normalizing fails.
Prior to 670c359da, we simply ignored the error, and due to
the way normalize_path_copy() was implemented it happened to
return the original path in this case. We then accessed the
alternate objects using this relative path.
By storing the relative path in the alt_odb list, the path
is relative to wherever we happen to be at the time we do an
object lookup. That means we look from $GIT_DIR in a bare
repository, and from the top of the worktree in a non-bare
repository.
If this were being designed from scratch, it would make
sense to pick a stable location (probably $GIT_DIR, or even
the object directory) and use that as the relative base,
turning the result into an absolute path. However, given
the history, at this point the minimal fix is to match the
pre-670c359da behavior.
We can do this simply by ignoring the error when we have no
relative base and using the original value (which we now
reliably have, thanks to strbuf_normalize_path()).
That still leaves us with a relative path that foils our
duplicate detection, and may act strangely if we ever
chdir() later in the process. We could solve that by storing
an absolute path based on getcwd(). That may be a good
future direction; for now we'll do just the minimum to fix
the regression.
The new t5615 script demonstrates the fix in its final three
tests. Since we didn't have any tests of the alternates
environment variable at all, it also adds some tests of
absolute paths.

When we open object files, we try to do so with O_NOATIME.
This dates back to 144bde78e9 (Use O_NOATIME when opening
the sha1 files., 2005-04-23), which is an optimization to
avoid creating a bunch of dirty inodes when we're accessing
many objects. But a few things have changed since then:
1. In June 2005, git learned about packfiles, which means
we would do a lot fewer atime updates (rather than one
per object access, we'd generally get one per packfile).
2. In late 2006, Linux learned about "relatime", which is
generally the default on modern installs. So
performance around atimes updates is a non-issue there
these days.
All the world isn't Linux, but as it turns out, Linux
is the only platform to implement O_NOATIME in the
first place.
So it's very unlikely that this code is helping anybody
these days.

Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were
open in the parent process when spawning a child process, but most
of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does
not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor
open, a slow-to-exit child can even break the parent process by
holding onto them. Use O_CLOEXEC flag to open files in various
codepaths.
* ls/git-open-cloexec:
read-cache: make sure file handles are not inherited by child processes
sha1_file: open window into packfiles with O_CLOEXEC
sha1_file: rename git_open_noatime() to git_open()

When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant
to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles
when checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not
going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully.

fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag following

The way we structured the fallback/retry mechanism for opening with
O_NOATIME and O_CLOEXEC meant that if we failed due to lack of
support to open the file with O_NOATIME option (i.e. EINVAL), we
would still try to drop O_CLOEXEC first and retry, and then drop
O_NOATIME. A platform on which O_NOATIME is defined in the header
without support from the kernel wouldn't have a chance to open with
O_CLOEXEC option due to this code structure.
Arguably, O_CLOEXEC is more important than O_NOATIME, as the latter
is mostly about performance, while the former can affect correctness.
Instead use O_CLOEXEC to open the file, and then use fcntl(2) to set
O_NOATIME on the resulting file descriptor. open(2) itself does not
cause atime to be updated according to Linus [*1*].
The helper to do the former can be usable in the codepath in
ce_compare_data() that was recently added to open a file descriptor
with O_CLOEXEC; use it while we are at it.

Updates the way approximate count of total objects is computed
while attempting to come up with a unique abbreviated object name,
which in turn needs to estimate how many hexdigits are necessary to
ensure uniqueness.

All processes that the Git main process spawns inherit the open file
descriptors of the main process. These leaked file descriptors can
cause problems.
Use the O_CLOEXEC flag similar to 05d1ed61 to fix the leaked file
descriptors.

This function is meant to be used when reading from files in the
object store, and the original objective was to avoid smudging atime
of loose object files too often, hence its name. Because we'll be
extending its role in the next commit to also arrange the file
descriptors they return auto-closed in the child processes, rename
it to lose "noatime" part that is too specific.

Codepaths involved in interacting alternate object store have
been cleaned up.
* jk/alt-odb-cleanup:
alternates: use fspathcmp to detect duplicates
sha1_file: always allow relative paths to alternates
count-objects: report alternates via verbose mode
fill_sha1_file: write into a strbuf
alternates: store scratch buffer as strbuf
fill_sha1_file: write "boring" characters
alternates: use a separate scratch space
alternates: encapsulate alt->base munging
alternates: provide helper for allocating alternate
alternates: provide helper for adding to alternates list
link_alt_odb_entry: refactor string handling
link_alt_odb_entry: handle normalize_path errors
t5613: clarify "too deep" recursion tests
t5613: do not chdir in main process
t5613: whitespace/style cleanups
t5613: use test_must_fail
t5613: drop test_valid_repo function
t5613: drop reachable_via function

When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the
tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't
already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to.
This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of
which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74
(has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up,
2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to
reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive.
This has gone unnoticed for several years because it
requires a fairly unique setup to matter:
1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to
make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most
expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted
list, which is currently quadratic).
2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side
that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the
client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of
the pack directory.
3. Under normal circumstances, the client would
auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2)
would no longer be true. But if those tags point to
history which is disconnected from what the client
otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and
those candidates will impact it on every fetch.
So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra
O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons
on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0
(prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check,
2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string
check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't
happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here
is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()).
This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice
accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a
simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077
(index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory,
2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file()
occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because
the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may
fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it.
Here are results from the included perf script, which sets
up a situation similar to the one described above:
Test HEAD^ HEAD

5550.4: fetch 11.21(10.42+0.78) 0.08(0.04+0.02) -99.3%
