t5504: handle expected output from SIGPIPE death

Commit 8bf4bec (add "ok=sigpipe" to test_must_fail and use
it to fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27) taught t5504 to handle
"git push" racily exiting with SIGPIPE rather than failing.

However, one of the tests checks the output of the command,
as well. In the SIGPIPE case, we will not have produced any
output. If we want the test to be truly non-flaky, we have
to accept either output.

fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband demuxerJeff King Wed, 24 Feb 2016 07:44:58 +0000 (02:44 -0500)

fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband demuxer

If the other side feeds us a bogus pack, index-pack (or
unpack-objects) may die early, before consuming all of its
input. As a result, the sideband demuxer may get SIGPIPE
(racily, depending on whether our data made it into the pipe
buffer or not). If this happens and we are compiled with
pthread support, it will take down the main thread, too.

This isn't the end of the world, as the main process will
just die() anyway when it sees index-pack failed. But it
does mean we don't get a chance to say "fatal: index-pack
failed" or similar. And it also means that we racily fail
t5504, as we sometimes die() and sometimes are killed by
SIGPIPE.

So let's ignore SIGPIPE while demuxing the sideband. We are
already careful to check the return value of write(), so we
won't waste time writing to a broken pipe. The caller will
notice the error return from the async thread, though in
practice we don't even get that far, as we die() as soon as
we see that index-pack failed.

The non-sideband case is already fine; we let index-pack
read straight from the socket, so there is no SIGPIPE at
all. Technically the non-threaded async case is also OK
without this (the forked async process gets SIGPIPE), but
it's not worth distinguishing from the threaded case here.

write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threadsJeff King Wed, 24 Feb 2016 07:40:16 +0000 (02:40 -0500)

write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threads

When write_or_die() sees EPIPE, it treats it specially by
converting it into a SIGPIPE death. We obviously cannot
ignore it, as the write has failed and the caller expects us
to die. But likewise, we cannot just call die(), because
printing any message at all would be a nuisance during
normal operations.

However, this is a problem if write_or_die() is called from
a thread. Our raised signal ends up killing the whole
process, when logically we just need to kill the thread
(after all, if we are ignoring SIGPIPE, there is good reason
to think that the main thread is expecting to handle it).

Inside an async thread, the die() code already does the
right thing, because we use our custom die_async() routine,
which calls pthread_join(). So ideally we would piggy-back
on that, and simply call:

die_quietly_with_code(141);

or similar. But refactoring the die code to do this is
surprisingly non-trivial. The die_routines themselves handle
both printing and the decision of the exit code. Every one
of them would have to be modified to take new parameters for
the code, and to tell us to be quiet.

Instead, we can just teach write_or_die() to check for the
async case and handle it specially. We do have to build an
interface to abstract the async exit, but it's simple and
self-contained. If we had many call-sites that wanted to do
this die_quietly_with_code(), this approach wouldn't scale
as well, but we don't. This is the only place where do this
weird exit trick.

use_pack: handle signed off_t overflowJeff King Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:23:26 +0000 (09:23 -0500)

use_pack: handle signed off_t overflow

A v2 pack index file can specify an offset within a packfile
of up to 2^64-1 bytes. On a system with a signed 64-bit
off_t, we can represent only up to 2^63-1. This means that a
corrupted .idx file can end up with a negative offset in the
pack code. Our bounds-checking use_pack function looks for
too-large offsets, but not for ones that have wrapped around
to negative. Let's do so, which fixes an out-of-bounds
access demonstrated in t5313.

nth_packed_object_offset: bounds-check extended offsetJeff King Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:22:52 +0000 (09:22 -0500)

nth_packed_object_offset: bounds-check extended offset

If a pack .idx file has a corrupted offset for an object, we
may try to access an offset in the .idx or .pack file that
is larger than the file's size. For the .pack case, we have
use_pack() to protect us, which realizes the access is out
of bounds. But if the corrupted value asks us to look in the
.idx file's secondary 64-bit offset table, we blindly add it
to the mmap'd index data and access arbitrary memory.

We can fix this with a simple bounds-check compared to the
size we found when we opened the .idx file.

Note that there's similar code in index-pack that is
triggered only during "index-pack --verify". To support
both, we pull the bounds-check into a separate function,
which dies when it sees a corrupted file.

It would be nice if we could return an error, so that the
pack code could try to find a good copy of the object
elsewhere. Currently nth_packed_object_offset doesn't have
any way to return an error, but it could probably use "0" as
a sentinel value (since no object can start there). This is
the minimal fix, and we can improve the resilience later on
top.

t5313: test bounds-checks of corrupted/malicious pack/idx files

Our on-disk .pack and .idx files may reference other data by
offset. We should make sure that we are not fooled by
corrupt data into accessing memory outside of our mmap'd
boundaries.

This patch adds a series of tests for offsets found in .pack
and .idx files. For the most part we get this right, but
there are two tests of .idx files marked as failures: we do
not bounds-check offsets in the v2 index's extended offset
table, nor do we handle .idx offsets that overflow a signed
off_t.

With these tests, we should have good coverage of all
offsets found in these files. Note that this doesn't cover
.bitmap files, which may have similar bugs.

merge-tree: drop generate_common strategyJeff King Tue, 23 Feb 2016 06:06:55 +0000 (01:06 -0500)

merge-tree: drop generate_common strategy

When merge_blobs sees an add/add conflict, it tries to
create a virtual base object for the 3-way merge that
consists of the common lines of each file. It inherited this
strategy from merge-one-file in 0c79938 (Improved three-way
blob merging code, 2006-06-28), and the point is to minimize
the size of the conflict hunks. That commit talks about "if
libxdiff were to ever grow a compatible three-way merge, it
could probably be directly plugged in".

That has long since happened. So as with merge-one-file in
the previous commit, this extra step is no longer necessary.
Our 3-way merge code is smart enough to do the minimizing
itself if we simply feed it an empty base, which is what the
more modern merge-recursive strategy already does.

Not only does this let us drop some code, but it removes an
overflow bug in generate_common_file(). We allocate a buffer
as large as the smallest of the two blobs, under the
assumption that there cannot be more common content than
what is in the smaller blob. However, xdiff may feed us
more: if neither file ends in a newline, it feeds us the
"\nNo newline at end of file" marker as common content, and
we write it into the output. If the differences between the

merge-one-file: use empty blob for add/add baseJeff King Tue, 23 Feb 2016 06:04:41 +0000 (01:04 -0500)

merge-one-file: use empty blob for add/add base

When we see an add/add conflict on a file, we generate the
conflicted content by doing a 3-way merge with a "virtual"
base consisting of the common lines of the two sides. This
strategy dates back to cb93c19 (merge-one-file: use common
as base, instead of emptiness., 2005-11-09).

Back then, the next step was to call rcs merge to generate
the 3-way conflicts. Using the virtual base produced much
better results, as rcs merge does not attempt to minimize
the hunks. As a result, you'd get a conflict with the
entirety of the files on either side.

Since then, though, we've switched to using git-merge-file,
which uses xdiff's "zealous" merge. This will find the
minimal hunks even with just the simple, empty base.

Let's switch to using that empty base. It's simpler, more
efficient, and reduces our dependencies (we no longer need a
working diff binary). It's also how the merge-recursive
strategy handles this same case.

We can almost get rid of git-sh-setup's create_virtual_base,
but we don't here, for two reasons:

1. The functions in git-sh-setup are part of our public
interface, so it's possible somebody is depending on
it. We'd at least need to deprecate it first.

2. It's also used by mergetool's p4merge driver. It's
unknown whether its 3-way merge is as capable as git's;
if not, then it is benefiting from the function.

sequencer: simplify memory allocation of get_message

For a commit with sha1 "1234abcd" and subject "foo", this
function produces a struct with three strings:

1. "foo"

2. "1234abcd... foo"

3. "parent of 1234abcd... foo"

It takes advantage of the fact that these strings are
subsets of each other, and allocates only _one_ string, with
pointers into the various parts. Unfortunately, this makes
the string allocation complicated and hard to follow.

Since we keep only one of these in memory at a time, we can
afford to simply allocate three strings. This lets us build
on tools like xstrfmt and avoid manual computation.

While we're here, we can also drop the ad-hoc
reimplementation of get_git_commit_encoding(), and simply

test-path-utils: fix normalize_path_copy output buffer size

The normalize_path_copy function needs an output buffer that
is at least as long as its input (it may shrink the path,
but never expand it). However, this test program feeds it
static PATH_MAX-sized buffers, which have no relation to the
input size.

In the normalize_ceiling_entry case, we do at least check
the size against PATH_MAX and die(), but that case is even
more convoluted. We normalize into a fixed-size buffer, free
the original, and then replace it with a strdup'd copy of
the result. But normalize_path_copy explicitly allows
normalizing in-place, so we can simply do that.

fetch-pack: simplify add_sought_entry

We have two variants of this function, one that takes a
string and one that takes a ptr/len combo. But we only call
the latter with the length of a NUL-terminated string, so
our first simplification is to drop it in favor of the

Since we know we have a string, we can also replace the
manual memory computation with a call to alloc_ref().

Furthermore, we can rely on get_oid_hex() to complain if it
hits the end of the string. That means we can simplify the
check for "<sha1> <ref>" versus just "<ref>". Rather than
manage the ptr/len pair, we can just bump the start of our
string forward. The original code over-allocated based on
the original "namelen" (which wasn't _wrong_, but was simply
wasteful and confusing).

We perform unchecked additions when computing the size of a

Note that there's one subtlety here, though. We protect
ourselves against a NULL exclude_per_dir entry in our

0. But later, we unconditionally memcpy "len + 1" bytes to
get the trailing NUL byte. If we did have a NULL
exclude_per_dir, we would read from bogus memory.

As it turns out, though, we always create this field
pointing to a string literal, so there's no bug. We can just

prepare_{git,shell}_cmd: use argv_array

These functions transform an existing argv into one suitable
for exec-ing or spawning via git or a shell. We can use an
argv_array in each to avoid dealing with manual counting and
allocation.

This also makes the memory allocation more clear and fixes
some leaks. In prepare_shell_cmd, we would sometimes
allocate a new string with "$@" in it and sometimes not,
meaning the caller could not correctly free it. On the
non-Windows side, we are in a child process which will
exec() or exit() immediately, so the leak isn't a big deal.
On Windows, though, we use spawn() from the parent process,
and leak a string for each shell command we run. On top of
that, the Windows code did not free the allocated argv array
at all (but does for the prepare_git_cmd case!).

By switching both of these functions to write into an
argv_array, we can consistently free the result as
appropriate.

use xmallocz to avoid size arithmetic

We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where
the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more
simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer
overflow.

There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n)
is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no
guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some
cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the
allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that
the contents will always fill the buffer.

In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined
the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

There are many manual argv allocations that predate the

advantages:

1. We no longer have to manually compute the correct final

2. In many cases we had to make a separate pass to count,
then allocate, then fill in the array. Now we can do it
in one pass, making the code shorter and easier to
follow.

3. argv_array handles memory ownership for us, making it
more obvious when things should be free()d and and when
not.

Most of these cases are pretty straightforward. In some, we
switch from "run_command_v" to "run_command" which lets us
directly use the argv_array embedded in "struct

This patch adds a few helpers to turn simple cases of

details.

Ideally we could provide a more flexible version that could
handle multiple strings, like:

harden REALLOC_ARRAY and xcalloc against size_t overflow

REALLOC_ARRAY inherently involves a multiplication which can
overflow size_t, resulting in a much smaller buffer than we
think we've allocated. We can easily harden it by using
st_mult() to check for overflow. Likewise, we can add
ALLOC_ARRAY to do the same thing for xmalloc calls.

xcalloc() should already be fine, because it takes the two
factors separately, assuming the system calloc actually
checks for overflow. However, before we even hit the system
calloc(), we do our memory_limit_check, which involves a
multiplication. Let's check for overflow ourselves so that
this limit cannot be bypassed.

submodule: die on config error when linking modulesPatrick Steinhardt Mon, 22 Feb 2016 11:23:26 +0000 (12:23 +0100)

submodule: die on config error when linking modules

When trying to connect a submodule with its corresponding
repository in '.git/modules' we try to set the core.worktree
setting in the submodule, which may fail due to an error
encountered in `git_config_set_in_file`.

The function is used in the git-mv command when trying to move a
submodule to another location. We already die when renaming a
file fails but do not pay attention to the case where updating
the connection between submodule and its repository fails. As
this leaves the repository in an inconsistent state, as well,
abort the program by dying early and presenting the failure to
the user.

branch: die on config error when unsetting upstream

When we try to unset upstream configurations we do not check
return codes for the `git_config_set` functions. As those may
indicate that we were unable to unset the respective
configuration we may exit successfully without any error message
while in fact the upstream configuration was not unset.

Fix this by dying with an error message when we cannot unset the
configuration.

branch: report errors in tracking branch setupPatrick Steinhardt Mon, 22 Feb 2016 11:23:23 +0000 (12:23 +0100)

branch: report errors in tracking branch setup

When setting up a new tracking branch fails due to issues with
the configuration file we do not report any errors to the user
and pretend setting the tracking branch succeeded.

Setting up the tracking branch is handled by the
`install_branch_config` function. We do not want to simply die
there as the function is not only invoked when explicitly setting
upstream information with `git branch --set-upstream-to=`, but
also by `git push --set-upstream` and `git clone`. While it is
reasonable to die in the explict first case, we would lose
information in the latter two cases, so we only print the error
message but continue the program as usual.

git.c: simplify stripping extension of a file in handle_builtin()

The handle_builtin() starts from stripping of command extension if
STRIP_EXTENSION is enabled. Actually STRIP_EXTENSION does not used

This patch introduces strip_extension() helper to strip STRIP_EXTENSION
extension from argv[0] with the strip_suffix() instead of manually

tests: rename work-tree tests to *work-tree*Michael J Gruber Sat, 20 Feb 2016 16:18:41 +0000 (17:18 +0100)

tests: rename work-tree tests to *work-tree*

"Work tree" or "working tree" is the name of a checked out tree,
"worktree" the name of the command which manages several working trees.
The naming of tests mixes these two, currently:

$ls t/*worktree*
t/t1501-worktree.sh
t/t1509-root-worktree.sh
t/t2025-worktree-add.sh
t/t2026-worktree-prune.sh
t/t2027-worktree-list.sh
t/t2104-update-index-skip-worktree.sh
t/t3320-notes-merge-worktrees.sh
t/t7011-skip-worktree-reading.sh
t/t7012-skip-worktree-writing.sh
t/t7409-submodule-detached-worktree.sh

$grep -l "git worktree" t/*.sh
t/t0002-gitfile.sh
t/t1400-update-ref.sh
t/t2025-worktree-add.sh
t/t2026-worktree-prune.sh
t/t2027-worktree-list.sh
t/t3320-notes-merge-worktrees.sh
t/t7410-submodule-checkout-to.sh

Rename t1501, t1509 and t7409 to make it clear on first glance that they
test work tree related behavior, rather than the worktree command.

t2104, t7011 and t7012 are about the "skip-worktree" flag so that their
name should remain unchanged.

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.

add helpers for detecting size_t overflowJeff King Fri, 19 Feb 2016 11:21:19 +0000 (06:21 -0500)

add helpers for detecting size_t overflow

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.

reflog_expire_cfg: NUL-terminate pattern fieldJeff King Fri, 19 Feb 2016 11:21:08 +0000 (06:21 -0500)

reflog_expire_cfg: NUL-terminate pattern field

You can tweak the reflog expiration for a particular subset
of refs by configuring gc.foo.reflogexpire. We keep a linked
list of reflog_expire_cfg structs, each of which holds the
pattern and a "len" field for the length of the pattern. The
pattern itself is _not_ NUL-terminated.

However, we feed the pattern directly to wildmatch(), which
expects a NUL-terminated string, meaning it may keep reading
random junk after our struct.

We can fix this by allocating an extra byte for the NUL
(which is already zero because we use xcalloc). Let's also
drop the misleading "len" field, which is no longer
necessary. The existing use of "len" can be converted to use
strncmp().

config: introduce set_or_die wrappers

A lot of call-sites for the existing family of `git_config_set`
functions do not check for errors that may occur, e.g. when the

when such a situation arises.

Introduce wrappers that will cause the program to die in those
cases. These wrappers are temporary only to ease the transition
to let `git_config_set` die by default. They will be removed
later on when `git_config_set` itself has been replaced by
`git_config_set_gently`.
