write_entry: fix leak when retrying delayed filter

When write_entry() retries a delayed filter request, we
don't need to send the blob content to the filter again, and
set the pointer to NULL. But doing so means we leak the
contents we read earlier from read_blob_entry(). Let's make
sure to free it before dropping the pointer.

cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary searchDerrick Stolee Sun, 8 Oct 2017 18:29:37 +0000 (14:29 -0400)

cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search

A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible
integer overflow by using the simple average:

mid = (min + max) / 2;

Instead, use the overflow-safe version:

mid = min + (max - min) / 2;

This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop
conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using
the following git grep:

git grep '/ *2;' '*.c'

Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new
binary search is contructed based on existing code.

submodule: port submodule subcommand 'status' from... Prathamesh Chavan Fri, 6 Oct 2017 13:24:15 +0000 (18:54 +0530)

submodule: port submodule subcommand 'status' from shell to C

This aims to make git-submodule 'status' a built-in. Hence, the function
cmd_status() is ported from shell to C. This is done by introducing
four functions: module_status(), submodule_status_cb(),
submodule_status() and print_status().

The function module_status() acts as the front-end of the subcommand.
It parses subcommand's options and then calls the function
module_list_compute() for computing the list of submodules. Then
this functions calls for_each_listed_submodule() looping through the
list obtained.

Then for_each_listed_submodule() calls submodule_status_cb() for each of
the submodule in its list. The function submodule_status_cb() calls
submodule_status() after passing appropriate arguments to the funciton.
Function submodule_status() is responsible for generating the status
each submodule it is called for, and then calls print_status().

Finally, the function print_status() handles the printing of submodule's
status.

Function set_name_rev() is also ported from git-submodule to the
submodule--helper builtin function compute_rev_name(), which now
generates the value of the revision name as required.

refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for writesJeff King Fri, 6 Oct 2017 14:42:17 +0000 (10:42 -0400)

refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for writes

If our call to refs_read_raw_ref() fails, we check errno to
see if the ref is simply missing, or if we encountered a
more serious error. If it's just missing, then in "write"
mode (i.e., when RESOLVE_REFS_READING is not set), this is
perfectly fine.

However, checking for ENOENT isn't sufficient to catch all
missing-ref cases. In the filesystem backend, we may also
see EISDIR when we try to resolve "a" and "a/b" exists.
Likewise, we may see ENOTDIR if we try to resolve "a/b" and
"a" exists. In both of those cases, we know that our
resolved ref doesn't exist, but we return an error (rather
than reporting the refname and returning a null sha1).

This has been broken for a long time, but nobody really
noticed because the next step after resolving without the
READING flag is usually to lock the ref and write it. But in
both of those cases, the write will fail with the same
errno due to the directory/file conflict.

There are two cases where we can notice this, though:

1. If we try to write "a" and there's a leftover directory
already at "a", even though there is no ref "a/b". The
actual write is smart enough to move the empty "a" out
of the way.

This is reasonably rare, if only because the writing
code has to do an independent resolution before trying
its write (because the actual update_ref() code handles
this case fine). The notes-merge code does this, and
before the fix in the prior commit t3308 erroneously
expected this case to fail.

2. When resolving symbolic refs, we typically do not use
the READING flag because we want to resolve even
symrefs that point to unborn refs. Even if those unborn
refs could not actually be written because of d/f
conflicts with existing refs.

You can see this by asking "git symbolic-ref" to report
the target of a symref pointing past a d/f conflict.

We can fix the problem by recognizing the other "missing"
errnos and treating them like ENOENT. This should be safe to
do even for callers who are then going to actually write the
ref, because the actual writing process will fail if the d/f
conflict is a real one (and t1404 checks these cases).

Arguably this should be the responsibility of the
files-backend to normalize all "missing ref" errors into
ENOENT (since something like EISDIR may not be meaningful at
all to a database backend). However other callers of
refs_read_raw_ref() may actually care about the distinction;
putting this into resolve_ref() is the minimal fix for now.

The new tests in t1401 use git-symbolic-ref, which is the
most direct way to check the resolution by itself.
Interestingly we actually had a test that setup this case
already, but we only used it to verify that the funny state
could be overwritten, not that it could be resolved.

We also add a new test in t3200, as "branch -m" was the
original motivation for looking into this. What happens is
this:

0. HEAD is pointing to branch "a"

1. The user asks to rename "a" to "a/b".

2. We create "a/b" and delete "a".

3. We then try to update any worktree HEADs that point to
the renamed ref (including the main repo HEAD). To do
that, we have to resolve each HEAD. But now our HEAD is
pointing at "a", and we get EISDIR due to the loose
"a/b". As a result, we think there is no HEAD, and we
do not update it. It now points to the bogus "a".

Interestingly this case used to work, but only accidentally.
Before 31824d180d (branch: fix branch renaming not updating
HEADs correctly, 2017-08-24), we'd update any HEAD which we
couldn't resolve. That was wrong, but it papered over the
fact that we were incorrectly failing to resolve HEAD.

So while the bug demonstrated by the git-symbolic-ref is
quite old, the regression to "branch -m" is recent.

t3308: create a real ref directory/file conflict

A test in t3308 wants to make sure that we don't
accidentally merge into "refs/notes/dir" when it exists as a
directory, so it does:

mkdir .git/refs/notes/dir
git -c core.notesRef=refs/notes/dir merge ...

and expects the second command to fail. But that
understimates the refs code, which is smart enough to remove
useless directories in the refs hierarchy. The test
succeeded only because of a bug which prevented resolving
refs/notes/dir for writing, even though an actual ref update
would succeed.

In preparation for fixing that bug, let's switch to creating
a real ref in refs/notes/dir, which is a more realistic
situation.

read_cache: roll back lock in `update_index_if_able()`Martin Ågren Fri, 6 Oct 2017 20:12:14 +0000 (22:12 +0200)

read_cache: roll back lock in `update_index_if_able()`

`update_index_if_able()` used to always commit the lock or roll it back.
Commit 03b866477 (read-cache: new API write_locked_index instead of
write_index/write_cache, 2014-06-13) stopped rolling it back in case a
write was not even attempted. This change in behavior is not motivated
in the commit message and appears to be accidental: the `else`-path was
removed, although that changed the behavior in case the `if` shortcuts.

Reintroduce the rollback and document this behavior. While at it, move
the documentation on this function from the function definition to the
function declaration in cache.h.

If `write_locked_index(..., COMMIT_LOCK)` fails, it will roll back the
lock for us (see the previous commit).

read-cache: leave lock in right state in `write_locked_index()`

If the original version of `write_locked_index()` returned with an
error, it didn't roll back the lockfile unless the error occured at the
very end, during closing/committing. See commit 03b866477 (read-cache:
new API write_locked_index instead of write_index/write_cache,
2014-06-13).

In commit 9f41c7a6b (read-cache: close index.lock in do_write_index,
2017-04-26), we learned to close the lock slightly earlier in the
callstack. That was mostly a side-effect of lockfiles being implemented
using temporary files, but didn't cause any real harm.

Recently, commit 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap,
2017-09-05) introduced a subtle bug. If the temporary file is deleted
(i.e., the lockfile is rolled back), the tempfile-pointer in the `struct
lock_file` will be left dangling. Thus, an attempt to reuse the
lockfile, or even just to roll it back, will induce undefined behavior
-- most likely a crash.

Besides not crashing, we clearly want to make things consistent. The
guarantees which the lockfile-machinery itself provides is A) if we ask
to commit and it fails, roll back, and B) if we ask to close and it
fails, do _not_ roll back. Let's do the same for consistency.

Do not delete the temporary file in `do_write_index()`. One of its
callers, `write_locked_index()` will thereby avoid rolling back the
lock. The other caller, `write_shared_index()`, will delete its
temporary file anyway. Both of these callers will avoid undefined
behavior (crashing).

Teach `write_locked_index(..., COMMIT_LOCK)` to roll back the lock
before returning. If we have already succeeded and committed, it will be
a noop. Simplify the existing callers where we now have a superfluous
call to `rollback_lockfile()`. That should keep future readers from
wondering why the callers are inconsistent.

read-cache: drop explicit `CLOSE_LOCK`-flagMartin Ågren Fri, 6 Oct 2017 20:12:12 +0000 (22:12 +0200)

read-cache: drop explicit `CLOSE_LOCK`-flag

`write_locked_index()` takes two flags: `COMMIT_LOCK` and `CLOSE_LOCK`.
At most one is allowed. But it is also possible to use no flag, i.e.,
`0`. But when `write_locked_index()` calls `do_write_index()`, the
temporary file, a.k.a. the lockfile, will be closed. So passing `0` is
effectively the same as `CLOSE_LOCK`, which seems like a bug.

We might feel tempted to restructure the code in order to close the file
later, or conditionally. It also feels a bit unfortunate that we simply
"happen" to close the lock by way of an implementation detail of
lockfiles. But note that we need to close the temporary file before
`stat`-ing it, at least on Windows. See 9f41c7a6b (read-cache: close
index.lock in do_write_index, 2017-04-26).

Drop `CLOSE_LOCK` and make it explicit that `write_locked_index()`
always closes the lock. Whether it is also committed is governed by the
remaining flag, `COMMIT_LOCK`.

This means we neither have nor suggest that we have a mode to write the
index and leave the file open. Whatever extra contents we might
eventually want to write, we should probably write it from within
`write_locked_index()` itself anyway.

bisect--helper: `write_terms` shell function in CPranit Bauva Fri, 29 Sep 2017 06:49:39 +0000 (06:49 +0000)

bisect--helper: `write_terms` shell function in C

Reimplement the `write_terms` shell function in C and add a `write-terms`
subcommand to `git bisect--helper` to call it from git-bisect.sh . Also
remove the subcommand `--check-term-format` as it can now be called from
inside the function write_terms() C implementation.

Also `|| exit` is added when calling write-terms subcommand from
git-bisect.sh so as to exit whenever there is an error.

Using `--write-terms` subcommand is a temporary measure to port shell
function to C so as to use the existing test suite. As more functions
are ported, this subcommand will be retired and its implementation will
be called by some other method.

sha1_loose_object_info: handle errors from unpack_sha1_restJeff King Thu, 5 Oct 2017 05:59:52 +0000 (01:59 -0400)

sha1_loose_object_info: handle errors from unpack_sha1_rest

When a caller of sha1_object_info_extended() sets the
"contentp" field in object_info, we call unpack_sha1_rest()
but do not check whether it signaled an error.

This causes two problems:

1. We pass back NULL to the caller via the contentp field,
but the function returns "0" for success. A caller
might reasonably expect after a successful return that
it can access contentp without a NULL check and
segfault.

As it happens, this is impossible to trigger in the
current code. There is exactly one caller which uses
contentp, read_object(). And the only thing it does
after a successful call is to return the content
pointer to its caller, using NULL as a sentinel for
errors. So in effect it converts the success code from
sha1_object_info_extended() back into an error!

But this is still worth addressing avoid problems for
future users of "contentp".

2. Callers of unpack_sha1_rest() are expected to close the
zlib stream themselves on error. Which means that we're
leaking the stream.

The problem in (1) comes from from c84a1f3ed4 (sha1_file:
refactor read_object, 2017-06-21), which added the contentp
field. Before that, we called unpack_sha1_rest() via
unpack_sha1_file(), which directly used the NULL to signal
an error.

But note that the leak in (2) is actually older than that.
The original unpack_sha1_file() directly returned the result
of unpack_sha1_rest() to its caller, when it should have
been closing the zlib stream itself on error.

fsck: handle NULL return of lookup_blob() and lookup_tree()

lookup_blob() and lookup_tree() can return NULL if they find an object
of an unexpected type. Accessing the object member is undefined in that
case. Cast the result to a struct object pointer instead; we can do
that because object is the first member of all object types. This trick
is already used in other places in the code.

An error message is already shown by object_as_type(), which is called
by the lookup functions. The walk callback functions are expected to
handle NULL object pointers passed to them, but put_object_name() needs
a valid object, so avoid calling it without one.

apply: remove `newfd` from `struct apply_state`

Similar to a previous patch, we do not need to use `newfd` to signal
that we have a lockfile to clean up. We can just unconditionally call
`rollback_lock_file`. If we do not hold the lock, it will be a no-op.

can instead use `is_lock_file_locked()`.

apply: move lockfile into `apply_state`Martin Ågren Thu, 5 Oct 2017 20:32:09 +0000 (22:32 +0200)

apply: move lockfile into `apply_state`

We have two users of `struct apply_state` and the related functionality
in apply.c. Each user sets up its `apply_state` by handing over a
pointer to its static `lock_file`. (Before 076aa2cbd (tempfile:
auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05), we could never free
lockfiles, so making them static was a reasonable approach.)

Other than that, they never directly access their `lock_file`s, which
are instead handled by the functionality in apply.c.

To make life easier for the caller and to make it less tempting for a
future caller to mess with the lock, make apply.c fully responsible for
setting up the `lock_file`. As mentioned above, it is now safe to free a
`lock_file`, so we can make the `struct apply_state` contain an actual
`struct lock_file` instead of a pointer to one.

The user in builtin/apply.c is rather simple. For builtin/am.c, we might
worry that the lock state is actually meant to be inherited across
calls. But the lock is only taken as `apply_all_patches()` executes, and
code inspection shows that it will always be released.

Alternatively, we can observe that the lock itself is never queried
directly. When we decide whether we should lock, we check a related
variable `newfd`. That variable is not inherited, so from the point of
view of apply.c, the state machine really is reset with each call to
`init_apply_state()`. (It would be a bug if `newfd` and the lock status
were not in sync. The duplication of information in `newfd` and the lock
will be addressed in the next patch.)

cache-tree: simplify locking logicMartin Ågren Thu, 5 Oct 2017 20:32:08 +0000 (22:32 +0200)

cache-tree: simplify locking logic

After we have taken the lock using `LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR`, we know that
`newfd` is non-negative. So when we check for exactly that property
before calling `write_locked_index()`, the outcome is guaranteed.

If we write and commit successfully, we set `newfd = -1`, so that we can
later avoid calling `rollback_lock_file` on an already-committed lock.
But we might just as well unconditionally call `rollback_lock_file()` --
it will be a no-op if we have already committed.

All in all, we use `newfd` as a bool and the only benefit we get from it
is that we can avoid calling a no-op. Remove `newfd` so that we have one
variable less to reason about.

checkout-index: simplify locking logic

`newfd` starts out negative. If we then take the lock, `newfd` will
become non-negative. We later check for exactly that property before
calling `write_locked_index()`. That is, we are simply using `newfd` as
a boolean to keep track of whether we took the lock or not. (We always
use `newfd` and `lock_file` together, so they really are mirroring each
other.)

Drop `newfd` and check with `is_lock_file_locked()` instead. While at
it, move the `static struct lock_file` into `cmd_checkout_index()` and
make it non-static. It is only used in this function, and after
076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05), we

sha1_file: do not leak `lock_file`

There is no longer any need to allocate and leak a `struct lock_file`.
Initialize it on the stack instead.

Before this patch, we set `lock = NULL` to signal that we have already
rolled back, and that we should not do any more work. We need to take
another approach now that we cannot assign NULL. We could, e.g., use
`is_lock_file_locked()`. But we already have another variable that we
could use instead, `found`. Its scope is only too small.

Bump `found` to the scope of the whole function and rearrange the "roll
back or write?"-checks to a straightforward if-else on `found`. This
also future-proves the code by making it obvious that we intend to take
exactly one of these paths.

entry.c: update cache entry only for existing filesLars Schneider Thu, 5 Oct 2017 10:44:06 +0000 (12:44 +0200)

entry.c: update cache entry only for existing files

In 2841e8f ("convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol",
2017-06-30) we taught the filter process protocol to delay responses.

That means an external filter might answer in the first write_entry()
call on a file that requires filtering "I got your request, but I
can't answer right now. Ask again later!". As Git got no answer, we do
not write anything to the filesystem. Consequently, the lstat() call in
the finish block of the function writes garbage to the cache entry.
The garbage is eventually overwritten when the filter answers with
the final file content in a subsequent write_entry() call.

Fix the brief time window of garbage in the cache entry by adding a
special finish block that does nothing for delayed responses. The cache
entry is written properly in a subsequent write_entry() call where
the filter responds with the final file content.

ref-filter.c: pass empty-string as NULL to atom parsers

Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty
"sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format
"%(refname:)".

Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty
string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty
string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic.

Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must
not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)"
and no sub-arguments "%(refname)". Current code aborts, either with
"unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args"
(e.g. "body:") as an error message.

fsmonitor: read entirety of watchman output

In Perl, setting $/ sets the string that is used as the "record
separator," which sets the boundary that the `<>` construct reads to.
Setting `local $/ = 0666;` evaluates the octal, getting 438, and
stringifies it. Thus, the later read from `<CHLD_OUT>` stops as soon
as it encounters the string "438" in the watchman output, yielding
invalid JSON; repositories containing filenames with SHA1 hashes are
able to trip this easily.

Set `$/` to undefined, thus slurping all output from watchman. Also
close STDIN which is provided to watchman, to better guarantee that we
cannot deadlock with watchman while both attempting to read.

strbuf doc: reuse after strbuf_release is fine

strbuf_release leaves the strbuf in a valid, initialized state, so
there is no need to call strbuf_init after it.

Moreover, this is not likely to change in the future: strbuf_release
leaving the strbuf in a valid state has been easy to maintain and has
been very helpful for Git's robustness and simplicity (e.g.,
preventing use-after-free vulnerabilities).

Document the semantics so the next generation of Git developers can
become familiar with them without reading the implementation. It is
still not advisable to call strbuf_release too often because it is
wasteful, so add a note pointing to strbuf_reset for that.

The same semantics apply to strbuf_detach. Add a similar note to its
docstring to make that clear.

sub-process: use child_process.args instead of child_process.argv

Currently the argv is only allocated on the stack, and then assigned to
process->argv. When the start_subprocess function goes out of scope,
the local argv variable is eliminated from the stack, but the pointer is
still kept around in process->argv.

Much later when we try to access the same process->argv in
finish_command, this leads us to access a memory location that no longer
contains what we want. As argv0 is only used for printing errors, this
is not easily noticed in normal git operations. However when running
t0021-conversion.sh through valgrind, valgrind rightfully complains:

These days, the child_process structure has its own args array, and
the standard way to set up its argv[] is to use that one, instead of

http-push: fix construction of hex value from path

The get_oid_hex_from_objpath takes care of creating a oid from a

the "hex" string, then skipping the '/', and then copying the rest of the
path to the "hex" string. Currently it fails to increase the pointer to

was copied in the first one, and leaves the last two bytes in the string
uninitialized.

color: make "always" the same as "auto" in configJeff King Tue, 3 Oct 2017 13:46:06 +0000 (09:46 -0400)

color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config

It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym
`--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to
produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the
terminal or a pager.

What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config
variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like:

git -c color.ui=always ...

it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't
directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always`
in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be
surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them
to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream).

Some people have done this anyway, because:

1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like
using `always` is a good idea, when you almost
certainly want `auto`.

2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not
plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So
the confusion came up less frequently than it might
have.

The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui
in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point
(2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like
add-interactive) are broken by this setting.

That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making
`color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we
don't want to just revert it. We could turn `always` into a
noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain
inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands.

Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config.
This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again,
we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than
to try to special-case command-line config.

There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning:
on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be
the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the
command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we
can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether
we are serving the command-line or the config.

provide --color option for all ref-filter usersJeff King Tue, 3 Oct 2017 13:45:47 +0000 (09:45 -0400)

provide --color option for all ref-filter users

When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.

But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.

This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the
config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always"
changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing
color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

We test the %C() format placeholders with a variety of

"always" tests.

We can drop ones that expect "always" to turn on color even
to a file, as that will become a synonym for "auto", which
is already tested.

For the "--no-color" test, we need to make sure that color
would otherwise be shown. To do this, we can use
test_terminal, which enables colors in the default setup.

To check that "status -v" respects diff config, we set

how we interpret "always"), let's use a more mundane option.

This script tests the output of status with various formats
when color is enabled. It uses the "always" setting so that

Using test_terminal gives us a more realistic environment,
and prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing.

t3701: use test-terminal to collect color output

When testing whether "add -p" can generate colors, we set
color.ui to "always". This isn't a very good test, as in the
real-world a user typically has "auto" coupled with stdout
going to a terminal (and it's plausible that this could mask
a real bug in add--interactive if we depend on plumbing's
isatty check).

realistic environment. This also prepare us for future

test-terminal: set TERM=vt100Jeff King Tue, 3 Oct 2017 13:39:34 +0000 (09:39 -0400)

test-terminal: set TERM=vt100

The point of the test-terminal script is to simulate in the
test scripts an environment where output is going to a real
terminal.

But since test-lib.sh also sets TERM=dumb, the simulation
isn't very realistic. The color code will skip auto-coloring
for TERM=dumb, leading to us liberally sprinkling

test_terminal env TERM=vt100 git ...

through the test suite to convince the tests to actually
generate colors. Let's set TERM for programs run under
test_terminal, which is one less thing for test-writers to
remember.

In most cases the callers can be simplified, but note there
is one interesting case in t4202. It uses test_terminal to
check the auto-enabling of --decorate, but the expected
output _doesn't_ contain colors (because TERM=dumb
suppresses them). Using TERM=vt100 is closer to what the
real world looks like; adjust the expected output to match.
