* inline xalloc_flex() into FLEXPTR_ALLOC_MEMjk/tighten-allocRené Scharfe2016-10-171-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Allocate and copy directly in FLEXPTR_ALLOC_MEM and remove the now unused helper function xalloc_flex(). The resulting code is shorter and the offset arithmetic is a bit simpler.

* avoid pointer arithmetic involving NULL in FLEX_ALLOC_MEMRené Scharfe2016-10-171-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Calculating offsets involving a NULL pointer is undefined. It works in practice (for now?), but we should not rely on it. Allocate first and then simply refer to the flexible array member by its name instead of performing pointer arithmetic up front. The resulting code is slightly shorter, easier to read and doesn't rely on undefined behaviour. NB: The cast to a (non-const) void pointer is necessary to keep support for flexible array members declared as const.

* compat/mingw: brown paper bag fix for 50a6c8eJeff King2016-02-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 50a6c8e (use st_add and st_mult for allocation size computation, 2016-02-22) fixed up many xmalloc call-sites including ones in compat/mingw.c. But I screwed up one of them, which was half-converted to ALLOC_ARRAY, using a very early prototype of the function. And I never caught it because I don't build on Windows.

* convert ewah/bitmap code to use xmallocJeff King2016-02-224-30/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This code was originally written with the idea that it could be spun off into its own ewah library, and uses the overrideable ewah_malloc to do allocations. We plug in xmalloc as our ewah_malloc, of course. But over the years the ewah code itself has become more entangled with git, and the return value of many ewah_malloc sites is not checked. Let's just drop the level of indirection and use xmalloc and friends directly. This saves a few lines, and will let us adapt these sites to our more advanced malloc helpers.

* diff_populate_gitlink: use a strbufJeff King2016-02-221-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We allocate 100 bytes to hold the "Submodule commit ..." text. This is enough, but it's not immediately obvious that this is the case, and we have to repeat the magic 100 twice. We could get away with xstrfmt here, but we want to know the size, as well, so let's use a real strbuf. And while we're here, we can clean up the logic around size_only. It currently sets and clears the "data" field pointlessly, and leaves the "should_free" flag on even after we have cleared the data.

* sequencer: simplify memory allocation of get_messageJeff King2016-02-221-19/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 call that function.

* test-path-utils: fix normalize_path_copy output buffer sizeJeff King2016-02-221-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* fetch-pack: simplify add_sought_entryJeff King2016-02-221-18/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 string variant. 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).

* fast-import: simplify allocation in start_packfileJeff King2016-02-221-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This function allocate a packed_git flex-array, and adds a mysterious 2 bytes to the length of the pack_name field. One is for the trailing NUL, but the other has no purpose. This is probably cargo-culted from add_packed_git, which gets the ".idx" path and needed to allocate enough space to hold the matching ".pack" (though since 48bcc1c, we calculate the size there differently). This site, however, is using the raw path of a tempfile, and does not need the extra byte. We can just replace the allocation with FLEX_ALLOC_STR, which handles the allocation and the NUL for us.

* write_untracked_extension: use FLEX_ALLOC helperJeff King2016-02-221-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We perform unchecked additions when computing the size of a "struct ondisk_untracked_cache". This is unlikely to have an integer overflow in practice, but we'd like to avoid this dangerous pattern to make further audits easier. Note that there's one subtlety here, though. We protect ourselves against a NULL exclude_per_dir entry in our source, and avoid calling strlen() on it, keeping "len" at 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 get rid of the pointless extra conditional.

* prepare_{git,shell}_cmd: use argv_arrayJeff King2016-02-223-53/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 st_add and st_mult for allocation size computationJeff King2016-02-2225-53/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If our size computation overflows size_t, we may allocate a much smaller buffer than we expected and overflow it. It's probably impossible to trigger an overflow in most of these sites in practice, but it is easy enough convert their additions and multiplications into overflow-checking variants. This may be fixing real bugs, and it makes auditing the code easier. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* use xmallocz to avoid size arithmeticJeff King2016-02-2215-25/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAYJeff King2016-02-2234-64/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages: 1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication for overflow. 2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size, so that it can never go out of sync with the declared type of the array.

* convert manual allocations to argv_arrayJeff King2016-02-227-76/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are many manual argv allocations that predate the argv_array API. Switching to that API brings a few advantages: 1. We no longer have to manually compute the correct final array size (so it's one less thing we can screw up). 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 child_process".

* argv-array: add detach functionJeff King2016-02-223-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The usual pattern for an argv array is to initialize it, push in some strings, and then clear it when done. Very occasionally, though, we must do other exotic things with the memory, like freeing the list but keeping the strings. Let's provide a detach function so that callers can make use of our API to build up the array, and then take ownership of it.

* add helpers for allocating flex-array structsJeff King2016-02-221-0/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allocating a struct with a flex array is pretty simple in practice: you over-allocate the struct, then copy some data into the over-allocation. But it can be a slight pain to make sure you're allocating and copying the right amounts. This patch adds a few helpers to turn simple cases of flex-array struct allocation into a one-liner that properly checks for overflow. See the embedded documentation for details. Ideally we could provide a more flexible version that could handle multiple strings, like: FLEX_ALLOC_FMT(ref, name, "%s%s", prefix, name); But we have to implement this as a macro (because of the offset calculation of the flex member), which means we would need all compilers to support variadic macros.

* harden REALLOC_ARRAY and xcalloc against size_t overflowJeff King2016-02-222-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tree-diff: catch integer overflow in combine_diff_path allocationJeff King2016-02-192-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 King2016-02-191-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 King2016-02-191-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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(). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The test in question, ever since it was added in 85f98fc037ae (replace: add tests for --edit, 2014-05-17), has simulated a failing editor in an unconventional way: test_must_fail env GIT_EDITOR='./fakeeditor;false' git replace --edit I presume the reason for this unconventional editor was the fact that 'git replace --edit' requires the edited object to be different from the original, but a mere 'false' as editor would leave the object unchanged and 'git replace --edit' would error out anyway complaining about the new and the original object files being the same. Running 'fakeeditor' before 'false' was supposed to ensure that the object file is modified and thus 'git replace --edit' errors out because of the failed editor. However, this editor doesn't actually modify the edited object, because start_command() turns this editor into: /bin/sh -c './fakeeditor;false "$@"' './fakeeditor;false' \ '.../.git/REPLACE_EDITOBJ' This means that the test's fakeeditor script doesn't even get the path of the object to be edited as argument, triggering error messages from the commands executed inside the script ('sed' and 'mv'), and ultimately leaving the object file unchanged. If a patch were to remove the die() from the error path after launch_editor(), the test would not catch it, because 'git replace' would continue execution past launch_editor() and would error out a bit later due to the unchanged edited object. Though 'git replace' would error out for the wrong reason, this would satisfy 'test_must_fail' just as well, and the test would succeed leaving the undesired change unnoticed. Create a proper failing fake editor script for this test to ensure that the edited object is in fact modified and 'git replace --edit' won't error out because the new and original object files are the same.

Defining the term enables its use elsewhere with a known definition. Signed-off-by: Stephen P. Smith <ischis2@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

A detached HEAD was not used since it was a new feature introduced just a couple weeks prior. The section could be changed to use and explain a detached HEAD, except that would increase the learning curve early in the manual. Detached HEADs are discussed a couple sections later under "Examining an old version without creating a new branch". Let's declare that it is a bad idea to rewrite the example that uses a temporary branch to do the sightseeing on a detached HEAD. Signed-off-by: Stephen P.

But if we feed a path that isn't actually a git repository, we blindly create the ref cache, and then may die deeper in the code when we try to access it. This is a problem because many callers speculatively feed us a path that looks vaguely like a repository, and expect us to tell them when it is not. This patch teaches resolve_gitlink_ref to reject non-repository paths without creating a ref_cache. This avoids the die(), and also performs better if you have a large number of these faux-submodule directories (because the ref_cache lookup is linear, under the assumption that there won't be a large number of submodules). To accomplish this, we also break get_ref_cache into two pieces: the lookup and auto-creation (the latter is lumped into create_ref_cache). This lets us first cheaply ask our cache "is it a submodule we know about?" If so, we can avoid repeating our filesystem lookup. So lookups of real submodules are not penalized; they examine the submodule's .git directory only once. The test in t3000 demonstrates a case where this improves correctness (we used to just die). The new perf case in p7300 shows off the speed improvement in an admittedly pathological repository: Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------- 7300.4: ls-files -o 66.97(66.15+0.87) 0.33(0.08+0.24) -99.5% Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In 0179ca7 (clean: improve performance when removing lots of directories, 2015-06-15), we added is_git_repository() which checks for a non-bare repository by looking at its ".git" entry. However, the fix in 0179ca7 needs to be applied other places, too. Let's make this new helper globally available. We need to give it a better name, though, to avoid confusion with is_git_directory(). This patch does that, documents both functions with a comment to reduce confusion, and removes the clean-specific references in the comments.

Since the definition occurs long before isalpha() is defined in git-compat-util.h, my build environment reports: CC alloc.o In file included from git-compat-util.h:186, from cache.h:4, from alloc.c:12: compat/mingw.h: In function 'mingw_skip_dos_drive_prefix': compat/mingw.h:365: warning: implicit declaration of function 'isalpha' Dscho does not see a similar warning in his build and suspects that ctype.h is included somehow behind the scenes. This implies that his build links to the C library's isalpha() and does not use git's isalpha(). To fix both the warning in my build and the inconsistency in Dscho's build, move the function definition to mingw.c. Then it picks up git's isalpha() because git-compat-util.h is included at the top of the file. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

If the string pointed to by path is exactly "//", it is implementation-defined whether "/" or "//" is returned. The thinking behind testing precise, OS-dependent output values was to document that different setups produce different values. However, as the test failures on MacOSX illustrated eloquently: hardcoding pretty much each and every setup's expectations is pretty fragile. This is not limited to the "//" vs "/" case, of course, other inputs are also allowed to produce multiple outputs by the POSIX specs. So let's just test for all allowed values and be done with it. This still documents that Git cannot rely on one particular output value in those cases, so the intention of the original tests is still met.
