43f3afc 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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 25 February 2016, 21:51:47 UTC
f3ed0b3 test_must_fail: report number of unexpected signal If a command is marked as test_must_fail but dies with a signal, we consider that a problem and report the error to stderr.

9ff18fa 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.

9658846 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.

2f27520 push: remove "push.default is unset" warning message The warning was important before the 2.0 transition, and remained important for a while after, so that new users get push.default explicitly in their configuration and do not experience inconsistent behavior if they ever used an older version of Git. The warning has been there since version 1.8.0 (Oct 2012), hence we can expect the vast majority of current Git users to have been exposed to it, and most of them have already set push.default explicitly. The switch from 'matching' to 'simple' was planned for 2.0 (May 2014), but actually happened only for 2.3 (Feb 2015). Today, the warning is mostly seen by beginners, who have not set their push.default configuration (yet). For many of them, the warning is confusing because it talks about concepts that they have not learned and asks them a choice that they are not able to make yet. See for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13148066/warning-push-default-is-unset-its-implicit-value-is-changing-in-git-2-0 (1260 votes for the question, 1824 for the answer as of writing) Remove the warning completely to avoid disturbing beginners. People who still occasionally use an older version of Git will be exposed to the warning through this old version. Eventually, versions of Git without the warning will be deployed enough and tutorials will not need to advise setting push.default anymore.

a217f07 README.md: move down historical explanation about the name The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to the description and link to the documentation. Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary. This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of mind of current developers.

fb43e31 submodule: try harder to fetch needed sha1 by direct fetching sha1 When reviewing a change that also updates a submodule in Gerrit, a common review practice is to download and cherry-pick the patch locally to test it. However when testing it locally, the 'git submodule update' may fail fetching the correct submodule sha1 as the corresponding commit in the submodule is not yet part of the project history, but also just a proposed change. If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch, we try to fetch the $sha1 directly. Some servers however do not support direct fetch by sha1, which leads git-fetch to fail quickly. We can fail ourselves here as the still missing sha1 would lead to a failure later in the checkout stage anyway, so failing here is as good as we can get.

We could add the "-a" option to force grep to treat the input as text, but not all implementations support that. Instead, use sed to extract the desired lines since it will always treat its input as text. While touching these lines, modernize the test style to avoid hiding the exit status of "git blame" and remove a space following a redirection operator. Also swap the order of the expected and actual output files given to test_cmp; we compare expect and actual to show how actual output differs from what is expected.

b779b3a 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 files are small than that string, we overflow the output buffer. This patch solves it by simply dropping the buggy code entirely.

1a92e53 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.

7b35eaf 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 call that function.

62f1751 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.

5545f05 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 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).

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.

e0b8373 write_untracked_extension: use FLEX_ALLOC helper 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.

20574f5 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.

3733e69 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.

850d2fe convert manual allocations to argv_array 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".

3689539 add helpers for allocating flex-array structs 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.

e7792a7 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.
