Commit 72441af (tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate
diffs for multiparent cases as well, 2014-04-07) introduced
the use of alloca so that the common cases of commits with 1
or 2 parents would not be adversely affected by going
through the multi-parent code.
However, our xalloca is not ideal when the number of parents
grows very large:
1. If the requested size is too large for our stack,
alloca() has no way to tell us, and we simply segfault
while trying to access the memory.
2. It does not use our usual memory_limit_check() logic.
I measured, and alloca is indeed buying us a very small
speedup over xmalloc()/free(). So we'd want to keep
something like it.
This patch simply puts a conditional in place at each
callsite: we use alloca for common known-small numbers of
parents, and otherwise use the heap. We are technically
still vulnerable to (1), but no more so than if we simply
put a few dozen bytes on the stack, which we must do all the
time anyway. And likewise, we technically miss a memory
limit check if it is tiny, but such a limit is pointless.
An alternative to this would be implement something like:
struct tree *tp, tp_fallback[2];
if (nparent <= ARRAY_SIZE(tp_fallback))
tp = tp_fallback;
else
ALLOC_ARRAY(tp, nparent);
...
if (tp != tp_fallback)
free(tp);
That would let us drop our xalloca() portability code
entirely. But in my measurements, this seemed to perform
slightly worse than the xalloca solution.
Note in the example above, and in the patch below, I've used
ALLOC_ARRAY() to replace the manual xmalloc(nr * sizeof(*x)).
Besides being shorter, this has the bonus that one cannot
accidentally overflow a size_t during that computation.

Merge branch 'jk/path-name-safety-2.4' into maint-2.4
Bugfix patches were backported from the 'master' front to plug heap
corruption holes, to catch integer overflow in the computation of
pathname lengths, and to get rid of the name_path API. Both of
these would have resulted in writing over an under-allocated buffer
when formulating pathnames while tree traversal.
* jk/path-name-safety-2.4:
list-objects: pass full pathname to callbacks
list-objects: drop name_path entirely
list-objects: convert name_path to a strbuf
show_object_with_name: simplify by using path_name()
http-push: stop using name_path
tree-diff: catch integer overflow in combine_diff_path allocation
add helpers for detecting size_t overflow
When we find a blob at "a/b/c", we currently pass this to
our show_object_fn callbacks as two components: "a/b/" and
"c". Callbacks which want the full value then call
path_name(), which concatenates the two. But this is an
inefficient interface; the path is a strbuf, and we could
simply append "c" to it temporarily, then roll back the
length, without creating a new copy.
So we could improve this by teaching the callsites of
path_name() this trick (and there are only 3). But we can
also notice that no callback actually cares about the
broken-down representation, and simply pass each callback
the full path "a/b/c" as a string. The callback code becomes
even simpler, then, as we do not have to worry about freeing
an allocated buffer, nor rolling back our modification to
the strbuf.
This is theoretically less efficient, as some callbacks
would not bother to format the final path component. But in
practice this is not measurable. Since we use the same
strbuf over and over, our work to grow it is amortized, and
we really only pay to memcpy a few bytes.

In the previous commit, we left name_path as a thin wrapper
around a strbuf. This patch drops it entirely. As a result,
every show_object_fn callback needs to be adjusted. However,
none of their code needs to be changed at all, because the
only use was to pass it to path_name(), which now handles
the bare strbuf.

The "struct name_path" data is examined in only two places:
we generate it in process_tree(), and we convert it to a
single string in path_name(). Everyone else just passes it
through to those functions.
We can further note that process_tree() already keeps a
single strbuf with the leading tree path, for use with
tree_entry_interesting().
Instead of building a separate name_path linked list, let's
just use the one we already build in "base". This reduces
the amount of code (especially tricky code in path_name()
which did not check for integer overflows caused by deep
or large pathnames).
It is also more efficient in some instances. Any time we
were using tree_entry_interesting, we were building up the
strbuf anyway, so this is an immediate and obvious win
there. In cases where we were not, we trade off storing
"pathname/" in a strbuf on the heap for each level of the
path, instead of two pointers and an int on the stack (with
one pointer into the tree object). On a 64-bit system, the
latter is 20 bytes; so if path components are less than that
on average, this has lower peak memory usage. In practice
it probably doesn't matter either way; we are already
holding in memory all of the tree objects leading up to each
pathname, and for normal-depth pathnames, we are only
talking about hundreds of bytes.
This patch leaves "struct name_path" as a thin wrapper
around the strbuf, to avoid disrupting callbacks. We should
fix them, but leaving it out makes this diff easier to view.

show_object_with_name: simplify by using path_name()
When "git rev-list" shows an object with its associated path
name, it does so by walking the name_path linked list and
printing each component (stopping at any embedded NULs or
newlines).
We'd like to eventually get rid of name_path entirely in
favor of a single buffer, and dropping this custom printing
code is part of that. As a first step, let's use path_name()
to format the list into a single buffer, and print that.
This is strictly less efficient than the original, but it's
a temporary step in the refactoring; our end game will be to
get the fully formatted name in the first place.

The graph traversal code here passes along a name_path to
build up the pathname at which we find each blob. But we
never actually do anything with the resulting names, making
it a waste of code and memory.
This usage came in aa1dbc9 (Update http-push functionality,
2006-03-07), and originally the result was passed to
"add_object" (which stored it, but didn't really use it,
either). But we stopped using that function in 1f1e895 (Add
"named object array" concept, 2006-06-19) in favor of
storing just the objects themselves.
Moreover, the generation of the name in process_tree() is
buggy. It sticks "name" onto the end of the name_path linked
list, and then passes it down again as it recurses (instead
of "entry.path"). So it's a good thing this was unused, as
the resulting path for "a/b/c/d" would end up as "a/a/a/a".

tree-diff: catch integer overflow in combine_diff_path allocation
A combine_diff_path struct has two "flex" members allocated
alongside the struct: a string to hold the pathname, and an
array of parent pointers. We use an "int" to compute this,
meaning we may easily overflow it if the pathname is
extremely long.
We can fix this by using size_t, and checking for overflow
with the st_add helper.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Performing computations on size_t variables that we feed to
xmalloc and friends can be dangerous, as an integer overflow
can cause us to allocate a much smaller chunk than we
realized.
We already have unsigned_add_overflows(), but let's add
unsigned_mult_overflows() to that. Furthermore, rather than
have each site manually check and die on overflow, we can
provide some helpers that will:
- promote the arguments to size_t, so that we know we are
doing our computation in the same size of integer that
will ultimately be fed to xmalloc
- check and die on overflow
- return the result so that computations can be done in
the parameter list of xmalloc.
These functions are a lot uglier to use than normal
arithmetic operators (you have to do "st_add(foo, bar)"
instead of "foo + bar"). To at least limit the damage, we
also provide multi-valued versions. So rather than:
st_add(st_add(a, b), st_add(c, d));
you can write:
st_add4(a, b, c, d);
This isn't nearly as elegant as a varargs function, but it's
a lot harder to get it wrong. You don't have to remember to
add a sentinel value at the end, and the compiler will
complain if you get the number of arguments wrong. This
patch adds only the numbered variants required to convert
the current code base; we can easily add more later if
needed.

merge-file: enforce MAX_XDIFF_SIZE on incoming files
The previous commit enforces MAX_XDIFF_SIZE at the
interfaces to xdiff: xdi_diff (which calls xdl_diff) and
ll_xdl_merge (which calls xdl_merge).
But we have another direct call to xdl_merge in
merge-file.c. If it were written today, this probably would
just use the ll_merge machinery. But it predates that code,
and uses slightly different options to xdl_merge (e.g.,
ZEALOUS_ALNUM).
We could try to abstract out an xdi_merge to match the
existing xdi_diff, but even that is difficult. Rather than
simply report error, we try to treat large files as binary,
and that distinction would happen outside of xdi_merge.
The simplest fix is to just replicate the MAX_XDIFF_SIZE
check in merge-file.c.

The xdiff code is not prepared to handle extremely large
files. It uses "int" in many places, which can overflow if
we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in our
input files. This can cause us to produce incorrect diffs,
with no indication that the output is wrong. Or worse, we
may even underallocate a buffer whose size is the result of
an overflowing addition.
We're much better off to tell the user that we cannot diff
or merge such a large file. This patch covers both cases,
but in slightly different ways:
1. For merging, we notice the large file and cleanly fall
back to a binary merge (which is effectively "we cannot
merge this").
2. For diffing, we make the binary/text distinction much
earlier, and in many different places. For this case,
we'll use the xdi_diff as our choke point, and reject
any diff there before it hits the xdiff code.
This means in most cases we'll die() immediately after.
That's not ideal, but in practice we shouldn't
generally hit this code path unless the user is trying
to do something tricky. We already consider files
larger than core.bigfilethreshold to be binary, so this
code would only kick in when that is circumvented
(either by bumping that value, or by using a
.gitattribute to mark a file as diffable).
In other words, we can avoid being "nice" here, because
there is already nice code that tries to do the right
thing. We are adding the suspenders to the nice code's
belt, so notice when it has been worked around (both to
protect the user from malicious inputs, and because it
is better to die() than generate bogus output).
The maximum size was chosen after experimenting with feeding
large files to the xdiff code. It's just under a gigabyte,
which leaves room for two obvious cases:
- a diff3 merge conflict result on files of maximum size X
could be 3*X plus the size of the markers, which would
still be only about 3G, which fits in a 32-bit int.
- some of the diff code allocates arrays of one int per
record. Even if each file consists only of blank lines,
then a file smaller than 1G will have fewer than 1G
records, and therefore the int array will fit in 4G.
Since the limit is arbitrary anyway, I chose to go under a
gigabyte, to leave a safety margin (e.g., we would not want
to overflow by allocating "(records + 1) * sizeof(int)" or
similar.

When we call into xdiff to perform a diff, we generally lose
the return code completely. Typically by ignoring the return
of our xdi_diff wrapper, but sometimes we even propagate
that return value up and then ignore it later. This can
lead to us silently producing incorrect diffs (e.g., "git
log" might produce no output at all, not even a diff header,
for a content-level diff).
In practice this does not happen very often, because the
typical reason for xdiff to report failure is that it
malloc() failed (it uses straight malloc, and not our
xmalloc wrapper). But it could also happen when xdiff
triggers one our callbacks, which returns an error (e.g.,
outf() in builtin/rerere.c tries to report a write failure
in this way). And the next patch also plans to add more
failure modes.
Let's notice an error return from xdiff and react
appropriately. In most of the diff.c code, we can simply
die(), which matches the surrounding code (e.g., that is
what we do if we fail to load a file for diffing in the
first place). This is not that elegant, but we are probably
better off dying to let the user know there was a problem,
rather than simply generating bogus output.
We could also just die() directly in xdi_diff, but the
callers typically have a bit more context, and can provide a
better message (and if we do later decide to pass errors up,
we're one step closer to doing so).
There is one interesting case, which is in diff_grep(). Here
if we cannot generate the diff, there is nothing to match,
and we silently return "no hits". This is actually what the
existing code does already, but we make it a little more
explicit.

Previously, libcurl would follow redirection to any protocol
it was compiled for support with. This is desirable to allow
redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. However, it would even
successfully allow redirection from HTTP to SFTP, a protocol
that git does not otherwise support at all. Furthermore
git's new protocol-whitelisting could be bypassed by
following a redirect within the remote helper, as it was
only enforced at transport selection time.
This patch limits redirects within libcurl to HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP and FTPS. If there is a protocol-whitelist present, this
list is limited to those also allowed by the whitelist. As
redirection happens from within libcurl, it is impossible
for an HTTP redirect to a protocol implemented within
another remote helper.
When the curl version git was compiled with is too old to
support restrictions on protocol redirection, we warn the
user if GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL restrictions were requested. This
is a little inaccurate, as even without that variable in the
environment, we would still restrict SFTP, etc, and we do
not warn in that case. But anything else means we would
literally warn every time git accesses an http remote.
This commit includes a test, but it is not as robust as we
would hope. It redirects an http request to ftp, and checks
that curl complained about the protocol, which means that we
are relying on curl's specific error message to know what
happened. Ideally we would redirect to a working ftp server
and confirm that we can clone without protocol restrictions,
and not with them. But we do not have a portable way of
providing an ftp server, nor any other protocol that curl
supports (https is the closest, but we would have to deal
with certificates).

submodule: allow only certain protocols for submodule fetches
Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary
code found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come
from arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
repository). Let's restrict submodules to fetching from a
known-good subset of protocols.
Note that we apply this restriction to all submodule
commands, whether the URL comes from .gitmodules or not.
This is more restrictive than we need to be; for example, in
the tests we run:
git submodule add ext::...
which should be trusted, as the URL comes directly from the
command line provided by the user. But doing it this way is
simpler, and makes it much less likely that we would miss a
case. And since such protocols should be an exception
(especially because nobody who clones from them will be able
to update the submodules!), it's not likely to inconvenience
anyone in practice.

transport: add a protocol-whitelist environment variable
If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
order to get the complete view as intended by the other
side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
exposes them to the attacker).
Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).
We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
effect, it is the only sensible one).
A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
unable to test the file-local code on machines without
apache.

read_info_alternates: handle paths larger than PATH_MAX

When we are loading a notes tree into our internal hash

We format the name of the file into a PATH_MAX buffer, but
unlike true notes (which cannot be larger than a fanned-out
sha1 hash), these tree entries can be arbitrarily long,
overflowing our buffer.
We can fix this by switching to a strbuf. It doesn't even
cost us an extra allocation, as we can simply hand ownership
of the buffer over to the non-note struct.
This is of moderate security interest, as you might fetch
notes trees from an untrusted remote. However, we do not do
so by default, so you would have to manually fetch into the

verify_absent: allow filenames longer than PATH_MAX
When unpack-trees wants to know whether a path will
overwrite anything in the working tree, we use lstat() to
see if there is anything there. But if we are going to write
"foo/bar", we can't just lstat("foo/bar"); we need to look
for leading prefixes (e.g., "foo"). So we use the lstat cache
to find the length of the leading prefix, and copy the
filename up to that length into a temporary buffer (since
the original name is const, we cannot just stick a NUL in
it).
The copy we make goes into a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which
will overflow if the prefix is longer than PATH_MAX. How
this happens is a little tricky, since in theory PATH_MAX is
the biggest path we will have read from the filesystem. But
this can happen if:
- the compiled-in PATH_MAX does not accurately reflect
what the filesystem is capable of
- the leading prefix is not _quite_ what is on disk; it
contains the next element from the name we are checking.
So if we want to write "aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd" and "aaa/bbb"
exists, the prefix of interest is "aaa/bbb/ccc". If
"aaa/bbb" approaches PATH_MAX, then "ccc" can overflow
it.
So this can be triggered, but it's hard to do. In
particular, you cannot just "git clone" a bogus repo. The
verify_absent checks happen before unpack-trees writes
anything to the filesystem, so there are never any leading
prefixes during the initial checkout, and the bug doesn't
trigger. And by definition, these files are larger than
PATH_MAX, so writing them will fail, and clone will
complain (though it may write a partial path, which will
cause a subsequent "git checkout" to hit the bug).
We can fix it by creating the temporary path on the heap.
The extra malloc overhead is not important, as we are
already making at least one stat() call (and probably more
for the prefix discovery).

When we want to write out a loose object file, we have

file, so that a simultaneous prune knows somebody is
likely to reference it soon.
If our utime() call fails, we treat this the same as not
having the object in the first place; the safe thing to do
is write out another copy. However, the loose-object check
accidentally inverts the utime() check; it returns failure
_only_ when the utime() call actually succeeded. Thus it was
failing to protect us there, and in the normal case where
utime() succeeds, it caused us to pointlessly write out and
link the object.
This passed our freshening tests, because writing out the
new object is certainly _one_ way of updating its utime. So
the normal case was inefficient, but not wrong.
While we're here, let's also drop a comment in front of the
check_and_freshen functions, making a note of their return
type (since it is not our usual "0 for success, -1 for

rev-list: disable --use-bitmap-index when pruning commits
The reachability bitmaps do not have enough information to
tell us which commits might have changed path "foo", so the
current code produces wrong answers for:
git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count HEAD -- foo
(it silently ignores the "foo" limiter). Instead, we should
fall back to doing a normal traversal (it is OK to fall
back rather than complain, because --use-bitmap-index is a
pure optimization, and might not kick in for other reasons,
such as there being no bitmaps in the repository).

rebase -i: do not leave a CHERRY_PICK_HEAD file behind
When skipping commits whose changes were already applied via `git rebase
--continue`, we need to clean up said file explicitly.
The same is not true for `git rebase --skip` because that will execute
`git reset --hard` as part of the "skip" handling in git-rebase.sh, even
before git-rebase--interactive.sh is called.

When rev-list's --cherry option does not detect that a patch has already
been applied upstream, an interactive rebase would offer to reapply it and
consequently stop at that patch with a failure, mentioning that the diff
is empty.
Traditionally, a `git rebase --continue` simply skips the commit in such a
situation.
However, as pointed out by Gábor Szeder, this leaves a CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
behind, making the Git prompt believe that a cherry pick is still going
on. This commit adds a test case demonstrating this bug.

We set CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH to use the most secure authentication
method available only when the user has set configuration variables
to specify a proxy. However, libcurl also supports specifying a
proxy through environment variables. In that case libcurl defaults
to only using the Basic proxy authentication method, because we do
not use CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH.
Set CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH to always use the most secure authentication
method available, even when there is no git configuration telling us
to use a proxy. This allows the user to use environment variables to
configure a proxy that requires an authentication method different
from Basic.

fsck: it is OK for a tag and a commit to lack the body
When fsck validates a commit or a tag, it scans each line in the
header of the object using helper functions such as "start_with()",
etc. that work on a NUL terminated buffer, but before a1e920a0
(index-pack: terminate object buffers with NUL, 2014-12-08), the
validation functions were fed the object data in a piece of memory
that is not necessarily terminated with a NUL.
We added a helper function require_end_of_header() to be called at
the beginning of these validation functions to insist that the
object data contains an empty line before its end. The theory is
that the validating functions will notice and stop when it hits an
empty line as a normal end of header (or a required header line that
is missing) without scanning past the end of potentially not
NUL-terminated buffer.
But the theory forgot that in the older days, Git itself happily
created objects with only the header lines without a body. This
caused Git 2.2 and later to issue an unnecessary warning in some
existing repositories.
With a1e920a0, we do not need to require an empty line (or the body)
in these objects to safely parse and validate them. Drop the
offending "must have an empty line" check from this helper function,
while keeping the other check to make sure that there is no NUL in
the header part of the object, and adjust the name of the helper to
what it does accordingly.

The improved ARRAY_SIZE macro uses BARF_UNLESS_AN_ARRAY which expands
to a valid check for recent gcc versions and to 0 for older gcc
versions but is not defined on non-gcc builds.
Non-gcc builds need this macro to expand to 0 as well. The current outer
test (defined(__GNUC__) && (__GNUC__ >= 3)) is a strictly weaker
condition than the inner test (GIT_GNUC_PREREQ(3, 1)) so we can omit the
outer test and cause the BARF_UNLESS_AN_ARRAY macro to be defined
correctly on non-gcc builds as well as gcc builds with older versions.

test-lib.sh: fix color support when tput needs ~/.terminfo
If tput needs ~/.terminfo for the current $TERM, then tput will
succeed before HOME is changed to $TRASH_DIRECTORY (causing color to
be set to 't') but fail afterward.
One possible way to fix this is to treat HOME like TERM: back up the
original value and temporarily restore it before say_color() runs
tput.
Instead, pre-compute and save the color control sequences before
changing either TERM or HOME. Use the saved control sequences in
say_color() rather than call tput each time. This avoids the need to
back up and restore the TERM and HOME variables, and it avoids the
overhead of a subshell and two invocations of tput per call to
say_color().

When a repository is first fetched as a shallow clone, either by
git-clone or by fetching into an empty repo, the server's capabilities
are not currently consulted. The client will send shallow requests even
if the server does not understand them, and the resulting error may be
unhelpful to the user. This change pre-emptively checks so we can exit
with a helpful error if necessary.
