2015-08-25write_file_v(): do not leave incomplete line at the endLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
All existing callers to this function use it to produce a text file or an empty file, and a new callsite that mimick them must end their payload with a LF. If they forget to do so, the resulting file will end with an incomplete line. Teach write_file_v() to complete the incomplete line, if exists, so that the callers do not have to. With this, the caller-side fix in builtin/am.c becomes unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-08-24write_file(): drop "fatal" parameterLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+24
All callers except three passed 1 for the "fatal" parameter to ask this function to die upon error, but to a casual reader of the code, it was not all obvious what that 1 meant. Instead, split the function into two based on a common write_file_v() that takes the flag, introduce write_file_gently() as a new way to attempt creating a file without dying on error, and make three callers to call it.

Our default I/O size (8 MiB) for large files was too large for some platforms with smaller SSIZE_MAX, leading to read(2)/write(2) failures. * jc/max-io-size-and-ssize-max: xread/xwrite: clip MAX_IO_SIZE to SSIZE_MAX
2015-02-12xread/xwrite: clip MAX_IO_SIZE to SSIZE_MAXLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+15
Since 0b6806b9 (xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB, 2013-08-20), we chomp our calls to read(2) and write(2) into chunks of MAX_IO_SIZE bytes (8 MiB), because a large IO results in a bad latency when the program needs to be killed. This also brought our IO below SSIZE_MAX, which is a limit POSIX allows read(2) and write(2) to fail when the IO size exceeds it, for OS X, where a problem was originally reported. However, there are other systems that define SSIZE_MAX smaller than our default, and feeding 8 MiB to underlying read(2)/write(2) would fail. Make sure we clip our calls to the lower limit as well.

Better use git_env_ulong() to parse the environment variable, so that the postfixes 'k', 'm', and 'g' can be used; and use size_t to store the limit for consistency. The change to size_t has no direct practical impact, because the environment variable is only meant to be used for our own tests, and we use it to test small sizes.

2014-04-10read-cache.c: verify index file before we opportunistically update itLibravatar Yiannis Marangos1-0/+20
Before we proceed to opportunistically update the index (often done by an otherwise read-only operation like "git status" and "git diff" that internally refreshes the index), we must verify that the current index file is the same as the one that we read earlier before we took the lock on it, in order to avoid a possible race. In the example below git-status does "opportunistic update" and git-rebase updates the index, but the race can happen in general. 1. process A calls git-rebase (or does anything that uses the index) 2. process A applies 1st commit 3. process B calls git-status (or does anything that updates the index) 4. process B reads index 5. process A applies 2nd commit 6. process B takes the lock, then overwrites process A's changes. 7. process A applies 3rd commit As an end result the 3rd commit will have a revert of the 2nd commit. When process B takes the lock, it needs to make sure that the index hasn't changed since step 4.

2013-08-20xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MBLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+12
Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with: error: read from external filter cat failed error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat error: cat died of signal 13 error: external filter cat failed 141 error: external filter cat failed The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction [2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the 32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write, the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a]. Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on performance. The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The new test catches read and write problems. Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use test_must_fail.

2013-04-15config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOMELibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+10
The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files, 2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been minimal. Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root", creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems: 1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other proposal that they have to opt into). 2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges, either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed). 3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are not caught. This patch is of type (3). Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at all. An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private. This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors), nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems other than permissions.

2012-10-13config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errorsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+8
Git reads multiple configuration files: settings come first from the system config file (typically /etc/gitconfig), then the xdg config file (typically ~/.config/git/config), then the user's dotfile (~/.gitconfig), then the repository configuration (.git/config). Git has always used access(2) to decide whether to use each file; as an unfortunate side effect, that means that if one of these files is unreadable (e.g., EPERM or EIO), git skips it. So if I use ~/.gitconfig to override some settings but make a mistake and give it the wrong permissions then I am subject to the settings the sysadmin chose for /etc/gitconfig. Better to error out and ask the user to correct the problem. This only affects the user and xdg config files, since the user presumably has enough access to fix their permissions. If the system config file is unreadable, the best we can do is to warn about it so the user knows to notify someone and get on with work in the meantime.

2012-08-21warn_on_inaccessible(): a helper to warn on inaccessible pathsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
The previous series introduced warnings to multiple places, but it could become tiring to see the warning on the same path over and over again during a single run of Git. Making just one function responsible for issuing this warning, we could later choose to keep track of which paths we issued a warning (it would involve a hash table of paths after running them through real_path() or something) in order to reduce noise. Right now we do not know if the noise reduction is necessary, but it still would be a good code reduction/sharing anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read the file).

2012-05-22ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly messageLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+12
When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message. While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity functions are being called, this code is triggered behind the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g., receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog; the current message is hard to distinguish from an authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives a little more context. While we're at it, we can factor out all of the cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway, and it lets us make an even more specific error message. The current message also fails to mention errno. While the usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases in our wrapper. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-05-26read_in_full: always report errorsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
The read_in_full function repeatedly calls read() to fill a buffer. If the first read() returns an error, we notify the caller by returning the error. However, if we read some data and then get an error on a subsequent read, we simply return the amount of data that we did read, and the caller is unaware of the error. This makes the tradeoff that seeing the partial data is more important than the fact that an error occurred. In practice, this is generally not the case; we care more if an error occurred, and should throw away any partial data. I audited the current callers. In most cases, this will make no difference at all, as they do: if (read_in_full(fd, buf, size) != size) error("short read"); However, it will help in a few cases: 1. In sha1_file.c:index_stream, we would fail to notice errors in the incoming stream. 2. When reading symbolic refs in resolve_ref, we would fail to notice errors and potentially use a truncated ref name. 3. In various places, we will get much better error messages. For example, callers of safe_read would erroneously print "the remote end hung up unexpectedly" instead of showing the read error.

2010-11-10Remove pack file handling dependency from wrapper.oLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+2
As v1.7.0-rc0~43 (slim down "git show-index", 2010-01-21) explains, use of xmalloc() brings in a dependency on zlib, the sha1 lib, and the rest of git's object file access machinery via try_to_free_pack_memory. That is overkill when xmalloc is just being used as a convenience wrapper to exit when no memory is available. So defer setting try_to_free_pack_memory as try_to_free_routine until the first packfile is opened in add_packed_git(). After this change, a simple program using xmalloc() and no other functions will not pull in any code from libgit.a aside from wrapper.o and usage.o.

2010-11-10wrapper: give zlib wrappers their own translation unitLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-60/+0
Programs using xmalloc() but not git_inflate() require -lz on the linker command line because git_inflate() is in the same translation unit as xmalloc(). Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-11-10path helpers: move git_mkstemp* to wrapper.cLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+113
git_mkstemp_mode and related functions do not require access to specialized git machinery, unlike some other functions from path.c (like set_shared_perm()). Move them to wrapper.c where the wrapper xmkstemp_mode is defined. This eliminates a dependency of wrapper.o on environment.o via path.o. With typical linkers (e.g., gcc), that dependency makes programs that use functions from wrapper.o and not environment.o or path.o larger than they need to be.

2010-11-10wrapper: move odb_* to environment.cLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-37/+0
The odb_mkstemp and odb_pack_keep functions open files under the $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY directory. This requires access to the git configuration which very simple programs do not need. Move these functions to environment.o, closer to their dependencies. This should make it easier for programs to link to wrapper.o without linking to environment.o.

2010-11-10wrapper: move xmmap() to sha1_file.cLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-15/+0
wrapper.o depends on sha1_file.o for a number of reasons. One is release_pack_memory(). xmmap function calls mmap, discarding unused pack windows when necessary to relieve memory pressure. Simple git programs using wrapper.o as a friendly libc do not need this functionality. So move xmmap to sha1_file.o, where release_pack_memory() is.

2010-08-20xmalloc: include size in the failure messageLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+2
Out-of-memory errors can either be actual lack of memory, or bugs (like code trying to call xmalloc(-1) by mistake). A little more information may help tracking bugs reported by users. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* js/try-to-free-stackable: Do not call release_pack_memory in malloc wrappers when GIT_TRACE is used Have set_try_to_free_routine return the previous routine

* np/malloc-threading: Thread-safe xmalloc and xrealloc needs a recursive mutex Make xmalloc and xrealloc thread-safe
2010-05-08Have set_try_to_free_routine return the previous routineLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-2/+4
This effectively requires from the callers of set_try_to_free_routine to treat the try-to-free-routines as a stack. We will need this for the next patch where the only current caller cannot depend on that the previously set routine was the default routine.

2010-03-28Introduce remove_or_warn functionLibravatar Peter Collingbourne1-0/+5
This patch introduces the remove_or_warn function which is a generalised version of the {unlink,rmdir}_or_warn functions. It takes an additional parameter indicating the mode of the file to be removed. The patch also modifies certain functions to use remove_or_warn where appropriate, and adds a test case for a bug fixed by the use of remove_or_warn.
