2017-12-11git-compat-util: introduce skip_to_optional_arg()Libravatar Christian Couder1-0/+22
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.

2017-06-15strbuf: let strbuf_addftime handle %z and %Z itselfLibravatar René Scharfe1-4/+37
There is no portable way to pass timezone information to strftime. Add parameters for timezone offset and name to strbuf_addftime and let it handle the timezone-related format specifiers %z and %Z internally. Callers can opt out for %Z by passing NULL as timezone name. %z is always handled internally -- this helps on Windows, where strftime would expand it to a timezone name (same as %Z), in violation of POSIX. Modifiers are not handled, e.g. %Ez is still passed to strftime. Use an empty string as timezone name in show_date (the only current caller) for now because we only have the timezone offset in non-local mode. POSIX allows %Z to resolve to an empty string in case of missing information.

FreeBSD implementation of getcwd(3) behaved differently when an intermediate directory is unreadable/unsearchable depending on the length of the buffer provided, which our strbuf_getcwd() was not aware of. strbuf_getcwd() has been taught to cope with it better. * rs/freebsd-getcwd-workaround: strbuf: support long paths w/o read rights in strbuf_getcwd() on FreeBSD
2017-03-26strbuf: support long paths w/o read rights in strbuf_getcwd() on FreeBSDLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+11
FreeBSD implements getcwd(3) as a syscall, but falls back to a version based on readdir(3) if it fails for some reason. The latter requires permissions to read and execute path components, while the former does not. That means that if our buffer is too small and we're missing rights we could get EACCES, but we may succeed with a bigger buffer. Keep retrying if getcwd(3) indicates lack of permissions until our buffer can fit PATH_MAX bytes, as that's the maximum supported by the syscall on FreeBSD anyway. This way we do what we can to be able to benefit from the syscall, but we also won't loop forever if there is a real permission issue. This fixes a regression introduced with 7333ed17 (setup: convert setup_git_directory_gently_1 et al. to strbuf, 2014-07-28) for paths longer than 127 bytes with components that miss read or execute permissions (e.g. 0711 on /home for privacy reasons); we used a fixed PATH_MAX-sized buffer before.

Add a function for appending the canonized absolute pathname of a given path to a strbuf. It keeps the existing contents intact, as expected of a function of the strbuf_add() family, while avoiding copying the result if the given strbuf is empty. It's more consistent with the rest of the strbuf API than strbuf_realpath(), which it's wrapping. Also add a semantic patch demonstrating its intended usage and apply it to the current tree.

2016-10-10link_alt_odb_entry: handle normalize_path errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+20
When we add a new alternate to the list, we try to normalize out any redundant "..", etc. However, we do not look at the return value of normalize_path_copy(), and will happily continue with a path that could not be normalized. Worse, the normalizing process is done in-place, so we are left with whatever half-finished working state the normalizing function was in. Fortunately, this cannot cause us to read past the end of our buffer, as that working state will always leave the NUL from the original path in place. And we do tend to notice problems when we check is_directory() on the path. But you can see the nonsense that we feed to is_directory with an entry like: this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve in your objects/info/alternates, which yields: error: object directory /to/e/deep/too/way//ects/this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates. We can easily fix this just by checking the return value. But that makes it hard to generate a good error message, since we're normalizing in-place and our input value has been overwritten by cruft. Instead, let's provide a strbuf helper that does an in-place normalize, but restores the original contents on error. This uses a second buffer under the hood, which is slightly less efficient, but this is not a performance-critical code path. The strbuf helper can also properly set the "len" parameter of the strbuf before returning. Just doing: normalize_path_copy(buf.buf, buf.buf); will shorten the string, but leave buf.len at the original length. That may be confusing to later code which uses the strbuf.

2016-03-05strbuf_getwholeline: NUL-terminate getdelim buffer on errorLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+7
Commit 0cc30e0 (strbuf_getwholeline: use getdelim if it is available, 2015-04-16) tries to clean up after getdelim() returns EOF, but gets one case wrong, which can lead in some obscure cases to us reading uninitialized memory. After getdelim() returns -1, we re-initialize the strbuf only if sb->buf is NULL. The thinking was that either: 1. We fed an existing allocated buffer to getdelim(), and at most it would have realloc'd, leaving our NUL in place. 2. We didn't have a buffer to feed, so we gave getdelim() NULL; sb->buf will remain NULL, and we just want to restore the empty slopbuf. But that second case isn't quite right. getdelim() may allocate a buffer, write nothing into it, and then return EOF. The resulting strbuf rightfully has sb->len set to "0", but is missing the NUL terminator in the first byte. Most call-sites are fine with this. They see the EOF and don't bother looking at the strbuf. Or they notice that sb->len is empty, and don't look at the contents. But there's at least one case that does neither, and relies on parsing the resulting (possibly zero-length) string: fast-import. You can see this in action with the new test (though we probably only notice failure there when run with --valgrind or ASAN). We can fix this by unconditionally resetting the strbuf when we have a buffer after getdelim(). That fixes case 2 above. Case 1 is probably already fine in practice, but it does not hurt for us to re-assert our invariants (especially because we are relying on whatever getdelim() happens to do, which may vary from platform to platform). Our fix covers that case, too. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-02-22use xmallocz to avoid size arithmeticLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer overflow. There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n) is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that the contents will always fill the buffer. In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

2016-01-15strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+10
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged. By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter. This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(), namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of them. The changes contained in this patch are: * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch] * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the respective thin wrapper. After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take over the shorter name strbuf_getline(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-01-14strbuf: make strbuf_getline_crlf() globalLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+12
Often we read "text" files that are supplied by the end user (e.g. commit log message that was edited with $GIT_EDITOR upon 'git commit -e'), and in some environments lines in a text file are terminated with CRLF. Existing strbuf_getline() knows to read a single line and then strip the terminating byte from the result, but it is handy to have a version that is more tailored for a "text" input that takes both '\n' and '\r\n' as line terminator (aka <newline> in POSIX lingo) and returns the body of the line after stripping <newline>. Recently reimplemented "git am" uses such a function implemented privately; move it to strbuf.[ch] and make it available for others. Note that we do not blindly replace calls to strbuf_getline() that uses LF as the line terminator with calls to strbuf_getline_crlf() and this is very much deliberate. Some callers may want to treat an incoming line that ends with CR (and terminated with LF) to have a payload that includes the final CR, and such a blind replacement will result in misconversion when done without code audit.

2015-09-25convert trivial sprintf / strcpy calls to xsnprintfLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant strings. However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in case we do).

2015-09-25add reentrant variants of sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrevLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
The sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrev functions always write into reusable static buffers. There are a few problems with this: - future calls overwrite our result. This is especially annoying with find_unique_abbrev, which does not have a ring of buffers, so you cannot even printf() a result that has two abbreviated sha1s. - if you want to put the result into another buffer, we often strcpy, which looks suspicious when auditing for overflows. This patch introduces sha1_to_hex_r and find_unique_abbrev_r, which write into a user-provided buffer. Of course this is just punting on the overflow-auditing, as the buffer obviously needs to be GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ + 1 bytes. But it is much easier to audit, since that is a well-known size. We retain the non-reentrant forms, which just become thin wrappers around the reentrant ones. This patch also adds a strbuf variant of find_unique_abbrev, which will be handy in later patches.

2015-08-10strbuf_read(): skip unnecessary strbuf_grow() at eofLibravatar Jim Hill1-5/+5
The loop in strbuf_read() uses xread() repeatedly while extending the strbuf until the call returns zero. If the buffer is sufficiently large to begin with, this results in xread() returning the remainder of the file to the end (returning non-zero), the loop extending the strbuf, and then making another call to xread() to have it return zero. By using read_in_full(), we can tell when the read reached the end of file: when it returns less than was requested, it's eof. This way we can avoid an extra iteration that allocates an extra 8kB that is never used.

The return value of strftime is poorly designed; when it returns 0, the caller cannot tell if the buffer was not large enough, or if the output was actually 0 bytes. In the original implementation of strbuf_addftime, we simply punted and guessed that our 128-byte hint would be large enough. We can do better, though, if we're willing to treat strftime like less of a black box. We can munge the incoming format to make sure that it never produces 0-length output, and then "fix" the resulting output. That lets us reliably grow the buffer based on strftime's return value.

It is currently declared to return int, which could overflow for large files. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-06-29introduce "format" date-modeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+29
This feeds the format directly to strftime. Besides being a little more flexible, the main advantage is that your system strftime may know more about your locale's preferred format (e.g., how to spell the days of the week).

2015-04-16strbuf_getwholeline: use getdelim if it is availableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+42
We spend a lot of time in strbuf_getwholeline in a tight loop reading characters from a stdio handle into a buffer. The libc getdelim() function can do this for us with less overhead. It's in POSIX.1-2008, and was a GNU extension before that. Therefore we can't rely on it, but can fall back to the existing getc loop when it is not available. The HAVE_GETDELIM knob is turned on automatically for Linux, where we have glibc. We don't need to set any new feature-test macros, because we already define _GNU_SOURCE. Other systems that implement getdelim may need to other macros (probably _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L), but we can address that along with setting the Makefile knob after testing the feature on those systems.

2015-04-16strbuf_getwholeline: avoid calling strbuf_growLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
As with the recent speedup to strbuf_addch, we can avoid calling strbuf_grow() in a tight loop of single-character adds by instead checking strbuf_avail. Note that we would instead call strbuf_addch directly here, but it does more work than necessary: it will NUL-terminate the result for each character read. Instead, in this loop we read the characters one by one and then add the terminator manually at the end.

2015-04-16strbuf_getwholeline: use getc_unlockedLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
strbuf_getwholeline calls getc in a tight loop. On modern libc implementations, the stdio code locks the handle for every operation, which means we are paying a significant overhead. We can get around this by locking the handle for the whole loop and using the unlocked variant. Running "git rev-parse refs/heads/does-not-exist" on a repo with an extremely large (1.6GB) packed-refs file went from: real 0m18.900s user 0m18.472s sys 0m0.448s to: real 0m10.953s user 0m10.384s sys 0m0.580s for a wall-clock speedup of 42%. All times are best-of-3, and done on a glibc 2.19 system. Note that we call into strbuf_grow while holding the lock. It's possible for that function to call other stdio functions (e.g., printing to stderr when dying due to malloc error); however, the POSIX.1-2001 definition of flockfile makes it clear that the locks are per-handle, so we are fine unless somebody else tries to read from our same handle. This doesn't ever happen in the current code, and is unlikely to be added in the future (we would have to do something exotic like add a die_routine that tried to read from stdin).
