When running a required clean filter, we do not have to mmap the
original before feeding the filter. Instead, stream the file
contents directly to the filter and process its output.
* sp/stream-clean-filter:
sha1_file: don't convert off_t to size_t too early to avoid potential die()
convert: stream from fd to required clean filter to reduce used address space
copy_fd(): do not close the input file descriptor
mmap_limit: introduce GIT_MMAP_LIMIT to allow testing expected mmap size
memory_limit: use git_env_ulong() to parse GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT
config.c: add git_env_ulong() to parse environment variable
convert: drop arguments other than 'path' from would_convert_to_git()
|
|
Teach a few codepaths to punt (instead of dying) when large blobs
that would not fit in core are involved in the operation.
* nd/large-blobs:
diff: shortcut for diff'ing two binary SHA-1 objects
diff --stat: mark any file larger than core.bigfilethreshold binary
diff.c: allow to pass more flags to diff_populate_filespec
sha1_file.c: do not die failing to malloc in unpack_compressed_entry
wrapper.c: introduce gentle xmallocz that does not die()
|
|
GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT limits xmalloc()'s size, which is of type size_t.
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.
The cast of size in the call to die() is changed to uintmax_t to
match the format string PRIuMAX.

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.

It is a common mistake to call read(2)/pread(2) and forget to
anticipate that they may return error with EAGAIN/EINTR when the

We have xread() helper to relieve callers of read(2) from having to
worry about it; add xpread() helper to do the same for pread(2).

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.

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.

Some implementations of xmkstemp() leaves the given in/out buffer
truncated when they return with failure.
6cf6bb3 (Improve error messages when temporary file creation fails,
2010-12-18) attempted to show the real filename we tried to create
(but failed), and if that is not available due to such truncation,

But it failed to take into account that the given template could
have "directory/" in front, in which case the truncation point may
not be template[0] but somewhere else.

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.

The access_or_warn() function is used to check for optional
configuration files like .gitconfig and .gitignore and warn when they
are not accessible due to a configuration issue (e.g., bad
permissions). It is not supposed to complain when a file is simply
missing.
Noticed on a system where ~/.config/git was a file --- when the new
XDG_CONFIG_HOME support looks for ~/.config/git/config it should
ignore ~/.config/git instead of printing irritating warnings:
$ git status -s
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory

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.

Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)"
to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's
not, then we silently ignore it.
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). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the
user know.

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.

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.

The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned
integer has overflowed, but a more explicit
unsigned_add_overflows(a, b)

Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()

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.

We used to create 0600 files, and then use chmod to set the group and
other permission bits to the umask. This usually has the same effect
as a normal file creation with a umask.
But in the presence of ACLs, the group permission plays the role of
the ACL mask: the "g" bits of newly created files are chosen according
to default ACL mask of the directory, not according to the umask, and
doing a chmod() on these "g" bits affect the ACL's mask instead of
actual group permission.
In other words, creating files with 0600 and then doing a chmod to the
umask creates files which are unreadable by users allowed in the
default ACL. To create the files without breaking ACLs, we let the
umask do it's job at the file's creation time, and get rid of the
later chmod.

In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create

2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from
objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to
the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation.
Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail
mysteriously because of this.
This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better.
- odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the
code and teach it to create leading directories as needed;
- odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while
create leading directories as needed.
