notes-merge: use ssize_t for write_in_full() return value

We store the return value of write_in_full() in a long,
though the return is actually an ssize_t. This probably
doesn't matter much in practice (since the buffer size is
alredy an unsigned long), but it might if the size if
between what can be represented in "long" and "unsigned
long", and if your size_t is larger than a "long" (as it is
on 64-bit Windows).

pkt-line: check write_in_full() errors against "< 0"

As with the previous two commits, we prefer to check
write_in_full()'s return value to see if it is negative,
rather than comparing it to the input length.

These cases actually flip the logic to check for success,
making conversion a little different than in other cases. We
could of course write:

if (write_in_full(...) >= 0)
return 0;
return error(...);

But our usual method of spelling write() error checks is
just "< 0". So let's flip the logic for each of these
conditionals to our usual style.

convert less-trivial versions of "write_in_full() != len"

The prior commit converted many sites to check the return
value of write_in_full() for negativity, rather than a
mismatch with the input length. This patch covers similar
cases, but where the return value is stored in an
intermediate variable. These should get the same treatment,
but they need to be reviewed more carefully since it would
be a bug if the return value is stored in an unsigned type
(which indeed, it is in one of the cases).

avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" patternJeff King Wed, 13 Sep 2017 17:16:03 +0000 (13:16 -0400)

avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern

The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the
requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write
before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial
value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really
write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11).

So checking anything except "was the return value negative"
is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do
so:

1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your
"len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will
promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant.

This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were
trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a
bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed
recently in config.c).

We should avoid promoting the mental model that you
need to check the length at all, so that new sites are
not tempted to copy us.

2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type,
especially when the length is an expression.

3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full()
users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full()
semantics were changed, he wrote:

I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just
check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and
stupid ones.

Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that
writing it this way does not have an intentional
benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never
bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly
cargo-culted into new sites).

So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this
includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for
write_in_full()).

[1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that
write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask
write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is
_larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But
besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken
version of write(), it would already invoke undefined
behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned
size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will
wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly
begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write
gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

get-tar-commit-id: check write_in_full() return against 0

We ask to write 41 bytes and make sure that the return value
is at least 41. This is the same "dangerous" pattern that
was fixed in the prior commit (wherein a negative return
value is promoted to unsigned), though it is not dangerous
here because our "41" is a constant, not an unsigned
variable.

But we should convert it anyway to avoid modeling a
dangerous construct.

config: avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) < len" patternJeff King Wed, 13 Sep 2017 18:15:16 +0000 (14:15 -0400)

config: avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) < len" pattern

The return type of write_in_full() is a signed ssize_t,
because we may return "-1" on failure (even if we succeeded
in writing some bytes). But "len" itself is may be an
unsigned type (the function takes a size_t, but of course we
may have something else in the calling function). So while
it seems like:

if (write_in_full(fd, buf, len) < len)
die_errno("write error");

would trigger on error, it won't if "len" is unsigned. The
compiler sees a signed/unsigned comparison and promotes the
signed value, resulting in (size_t)-1, the highest possible
size_t (or again, whatever type the caller has). This cannot
possibly be smaller than "len", and so the conditional can
never trigger.

I scoured the code base for cases of this, but it turns out
that these two in git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently()
are the only ones. Here our "len" is the difference between
two size_t variables, making the result an unsigned size_t.
We can fix this by just checking for a negative return value
directly, as write_in_full() will never return any value
except -1 or the full count.

There's no addition to the test suite here, since you need
to convince write() to fail in order to see the problem. The
simplest reproduction recipe I came up with is to trigger
ENOSPC:

# make a limited-size filesystem
dd if=/dev/zero of=small.disk bs=1M count=1
mke2fs small.disk
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop small.disk mnt
cd mnt
sudo chown $USER:$USER .

# make a config file with some content
git config --file=config one.key value
git config --file=config two.key value

# now fill up the disk
dd if=/dev/zero of=fill

# and try to delete a key, which requires copying the rest
# of the file to config.lock, and will fail on write()
git config --file=config --unset two.key

That final command should (and does after this patch)
produce an error message due to the failed write, and leave
the file intact. Instead, it silently ignores the failure
and renames config.lock into place, leaving you with a
totally empty config file!

vcs-svn: move remaining repo_tree functions to fast_export.h

These used to be for manipulating the in-memory repo_tree structure,
but nowadays they are convenience wrappers to handle a few git-vs-svn
mismatches:

1. Git does not track empty directories but Subversion does. When
looking up a path in git that Subversion thinks exists and finding
nothing, we can safely assume that the path represents a
directory. This is needed when a later Subversion revision
modifies that directory.

2. Subversion allows deleting a file by copying. In Git fast-import
we have to handle that more explicitly as a deletion.

These are details of the tool's interaction with git fast-import.
Move them to fast_export.c, where other such details are handled.

This way the function names do not start with a repo_ prefix that
would clash with the repository object introduced in
v2.14.0-rc0~38^2~16 (repository: introduce the repository object,
2017-06-22) or an svn_ prefix that would clash with libsvn (in case
someone wants to link this code with libsvn some day).

merge: save merge state earlier

If the `git merge` process is killed while waiting for the editor to
finish, the merge state is lost but the prepared merge msg and tree is kept.
So, a subsequent `git commit` creates a squashed merge even when the
user asked for proper merge commit originally.

Demonstrate the problem with a test crafted after the in t7502. The test
requires EXECKEEPSPID (thus does not run under MINGW).

Save the merge state earlier (in the non-squash case) so that it does
not get lost. This makes the test pass.

merge: split write_merge_state in two

write_merge_state() writes out the merge heads, mode, and msg. But we
may want to write out heads, mode without the msg. So, split out heads
(+mode) into a separate function write_merge_heads() that is called by
write_merge_state().

merge: clarify call chain

prepare_to_commit() cannot be reached in the non-squash case:
It is called by merge_trivial() and finish_automerge() only, but the
calls to the latter are somewhat hard to track:

If option_commit is not set, the code in cmd_merge() uses a fake
conflict return code (ret=1) to avoid writing the tree, which also
avoids setting automerge_was_ok (just as in the proper ret==1 case), so
that finish_automerge() is not called.

To ensure that no code change breaks that assumption, safe-guard
prepare_to_commit() by a BUG() statement.

apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip diff... Torsten Bögershausen Sat, 19 Aug 2017 11:28:01 +0000 (13:28 +0200)

apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip diff and apply

When a file had been commited with CRLF but now .gitattributes say
"* text=auto" (or core.autocrlf is true), the following does not
roundtrip, `git apply` fails:

printf "Added line\r\n" >>file &&
git diff >patch &&
git checkout -- . &&
git apply patch

Before applying the patch, the file from working tree is converted
into the index format (clean filter, CRLF conversion, ...). Here,
when commited with CRLF, the line endings should not be converted.

Note that `git apply --index` or `git apply --cache` doesn't call
convert_to_git() because the source material is already in index
format.

Analyze the patch if there is a) any context line with CRLF, or b)
if any line with CRLF is to be removed. In this case the patch file
`patch` has mixed line endings, for a) it looks like this:

diff --git a/one b/one
index 533790e..c30dea8 100644
--- a/one
+++ b/one
@@ -1 +1,2 @@
a\r
+b\r

And for b) it looks like this:

diff --git a/one b/one
index 533790e..485540d 100644
--- a/one
+++ b/one
@@ -1 +1 @@
-a\r
+b\r

If `git apply` detects that the patch itself has CRLF, (look at the
line " a\r" or "-a\r" above), the new flag crlf_in_old is set in
"struct patch" and two things will happen:

- read_old_data() will not convert CRLF into LF by calling
convert_to_git(..., SAFE_CRLF_KEEP_CRLF);
- The WS_CR_AT_EOL bit is set in the "white space rule",
CRLF are no longer treated as white space.

While at there, make it clear that read_old_data() in apply.c knows
what it wants convert_to_git() to do with respect to CRLF. In fact,
this codepath is about applying a patch to a file in the filesystem,
which may not exist in the index, or may exist but may not match
what is recorded in the index, or in the extreme case, we may not
even be in a Git repository. If convert_to_git() peeked at the
index while doing its work, it *would* be a bug.

Pass NULL instead of &the_index to convert_to_git() to make sure we
catch future bugs to clarify this.

Update the test in t4124: split one test case into 3:

- Detect the " a\r" line in the patch
- Detect the "-a\r" line in the patch
- Use LF in repo and CLRF in the worktree.

Various commands list refs and allow to use a format string for the
output that interpolates from the ref as well as the object it points
at (for-each-ref; branch and tag in list mode).

Currently, the documentation talks about interpolating from the object.
This is confusing because a ref points to an object but not vice versa,
so the object cannot possible know %(refname), for example. Thus, this is
wrong independent of refs being objects (one day, maybe) or not.

sub-process: print the cmd when a capability is unsupported

In handshake_capabilities() we use warning() when a capability
is not supported, so the exit code of the function is 0 and no
further error is shown. This is a problem because the warning
message doesn't tell us which subprocess cmd failed.

On the contrary if we cannot write a packet from this function,
we use error() and then subprocess_start() outputs:

initialization for subprocess '<cmd>' failed

so we can know which subprocess cmd failed.

Let's improve the warning() message, so that we can know which
subprocess cmd failed.

sha1_file: make read_info_alternates static

read_info_alternates is not used from outside, so let's make it static.

We have to declare the function before link_alt_odb_entry instead of
moving the code around, link_alt_odb_entry calls read_info_alternates,
which in turn calls link_alt_odb_entry.

t1002: stop using sum(1)René Scharfe Mon, 14 Aug 2017 20:16:34 +0000 (22:16 +0200)

t1002: stop using sum(1)

sum(1) is a command for calculating checksums of the contents of files.
It was part of early editions of Unix ("Research Unix", 1972/1973, [1]).
cksum(1) appeared in 4.4BSD (1993) as a replacement [2], and became part
of POSIX.1-2008 [3]. OpenBSD 5.6 (2014) removed sum(1).

We only use sum(1) in t1002 to check for changes in three files. On
MinGW we use md5sum(1) instead. We could switch to the standard command
cksum(1) for all platforms; MinGW comes with GNU coreutils now, which
provides sum(1), cksum(1) and md5sum(1). Use our standard method for
checking for file changes instead: test_cmp.

It's more convenient because it shows differences nicely, it's faster on
MinGW because we have a special implementation there based only on
shell-internal commands, it's simpler as it allows us to avoid stripping
out unnecessary entries from the checksum file using grep(1), and it's
more consistent with the rest of the test suite.

We already compare changed files with their expected new contents using
diff(1), so we don't need to check with "test_must_fail test_cmp" if
they differ from their original state. A later patch could convert the
direct diff(1) calls to test_cmp as well.

With all sum(1) calls gone, remove the MinGW-specific implementation
from test-lib.sh as well.

stash: prevent warning about null bytes in inputKevin Daudt Mon, 14 Aug 2017 21:43:33 +0000 (23:43 +0200)

stash: prevent warning about null bytes in input

The `no_changes` function calls the `untracked_files` function through
command substitution. `untracked_files` will return null bytes because it
runs ls-files with the '-z' option.

Bash since version 4.4 warns about these null bytes. As they are not
required for the test that is being done, make sure `untracked_files`
does not output null bytes when not required.

This is achieved by adding a parameter to the `untracked_files` function to
specify wither `-z` should be passed to ls-files or not.

This warning is triggered when running git stash save -u resulting in
two warnings:

git-stash: line 43: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte
in input

sha1_file: release delta_stack on error in unpack_entry()

When unpack_entry() encounters a broken packed object, it returns early.
It adjusts the reference count of the pack window, but leaks the buffer
for a big delta stack in case the small automatic one was not enough.
Jump to the cleanup code at end instead, which takes care of that.

hashcmp: use memcmp instead of open-coded loopJeff King Wed, 9 Aug 2017 10:16:45 +0000 (06:16 -0400)

hashcmp: use memcmp instead of open-coded loop

In 1a812f3a70 (hashcmp(): inline memcmp() by hand to
optimize, 2011-04-28), it was reported that an open-coded
loop outperformed memcmp() for comparing sha1s.

Discussion[1] a few years later in 2013 showed that this
depends on your libc's version of memcmp(). In particular,
glibc 2.13 optimized their memcmp around 2011. Here are
current timings with glibc 2.24 (best-of-five, on
linux.git):

[before this patch, open-coded]
$ time git rev-list --objects --all
real 0m35.357s
user 0m35.016s
sys 0m0.340s

[after this patch, memcmp]
real 0m32.930s
user 0m32.630s
sys 0m0.300s

Now that we've had 6 years for that version of glibc to
make its way onto people's machines, it's worth revisiting
our benchmarks and switching to memcmp().

It may be that there are other non-glibc systems where
memcmp() isn't as well optimized. But since our single data
point in favor of open-coding was on a now-ancient glibc, we
should probably assume the system memcmp is good unless
proven otherwise. We may end up with a SLOW_MEMCMP Makefile
knob, but we can hold off on that until we actually find
such a system in practice.
