2017-09-20for_each_string_list_item: avoid undefined behavior for empty listMichael Haggerty
If you pass a newly initialized or newly cleared `string_list` to `for_each_string_list_item()`, then the latter does for ( item = (list)->items; /* NULL */ item < (list)->items + (list)->nr; /* NULL + 0 */ ++item) Even though this probably works almost everywhere, it is undefined behavior, and it could plausibly cause highly-optimizing compilers to misbehave. C99 section 6.5.6 paragraph 8 explains: If both the pointer operand and the result point to elements of the same array object, or one past the last element of the array object, the evaluation shall not produce an overflow; otherwise, the behavior is undefined. and (6.3.2.3.3) a null pointer does not point to anything. Guard the loop with a NULL check to make the intent crystal clear to even the most pedantic compiler. A suitably clever compiler could let the NULL check only run in the first iteration, but regardless, this overhead is likely to be dwarfed by the work to be done on each item. This problem was noticed by Coverity.

2017-09-20read_info_alternates: warn on non-trivial errorsJeff King
When we fail to open $GIT_DIR/info/alternates, we silently assume there are no alternates. This is the right thing to do for ENOENT, but not for other errors. A hard error is probably overkill here. If we fail to read an alternates file then either we'll complete our operation anyway, or we'll fail to find some needed object. Either way, a warning is good idea. And we already have a helper function to handle this pattern; let's just call warn_on_fopen_error(). Note that technically the errno from strbuf_read_file() might be from a read() error, not open(). But since read() would never return ENOENT or ENOTDIR, and since it produces a generic "unable to access" error, it's suitable for handling errors from either.

* jk/info-alternates-fix-2.11: read_info_alternates: read contents into strbuf
2017-09-20read_info_alternates: read contents into strbufJeff King
This patch fixes a regression in v2.11.1 where we might read past the end of an mmap'd buffer. It was introduced in cf3c635210. The link_alt_odb_entries() function has always taken a ptr/len pair as input. Until cf3c635210 (alternates: accept double-quoted paths, 2016-12-12), we made a copy of those bytes in a string. But after that commit, we switched to parsing the input left-to-right, and we ignore "len" totally, instead reading until we hit a NUL. This has mostly gone unnoticed for a few reasons: 1. All but one caller passes a NUL-terminated string, with "len" pointing to the NUL. 2. The remaining caller, read_info_alternates(), passes in an mmap'd file. Unless the file is an exact multiple of the page size, it will generally be followed by NUL padding to the end of the page, which just works. The easiest way to demonstrate the problem is to build with: make SANITIZE=address NO_MMAP=Nope test Any test which involves $GIT_DIR/info/alternates will fail, as the mmap emulation (correctly) does not add an extra NUL, and ASAN complains about reading past the end of the buffer. One solution would be to teach link_alt_odb_entries() to respect "len". But it's actually a bit tricky, since we depend on unquote_c_style() under the hood, and it has no ptr/len variant. We could also just make a NUL-terminated copy of the input bytes and operate on that. But since all but one caller already is passing a string, instead let's just fix that caller to provide NUL-terminated input in the first place, by swapping out mmap for strbuf_read_file(). There's no advantage to using mmap on the alternates file. It's not expected to be large (and anyway, we're copying its contents into an in-memory linked list). Nor is using git_open() buying us anything here, since we don't keep the descriptor open for a long period of time. Let's also drop the "len" parameter entirely from link_alt_odb_entries(), since it's completely ignored. That will avoid any new callers re-introducing a similar bug.

2017-09-19t9010-*.sh: skip all tests if the PIPE prereq is missingRamsay Jones
Every test in this file, except one, is marked with the PIPE prereq. However, that lone test ('set up svn repo'), only performs some setup work and checks whether the following test should be executed (by setting an additional SVNREPO prerequisite). Since the following test also requires the PIPE prerequisite, performing the setup test, when the PIPE preequisite is missing, is simply wasted effort. Use the skip-all test facility to skip all tests when the PIPE prerequisite is missing.

In fact, the largest possible size_t which is much bigger than our struct size. This means that our "< sizeof(header)" error check won't trigger. In practice, we'd go on to read uninitialized memory and compare it to the PACK signature, which is likely to fail. But we shouldn't get there. We can fix this by making a direct "!=" comparison to the requested size, rather than "<". This means that errors get lumped in with short reads, but that's sufficient for our purposes here. There's no PH_ERROR tp represent our case. And anyway, this function reads from pipes and network sockets.

2017-09-14avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" patternJeff King
The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11). So checking anything except "was the return value negative" is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do so: 1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your "len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant. This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed recently in config.c). We should avoid promoting the mental model that you need to check the length at all, so that new sites are not tempted to copy us. 2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type, especially when the length is an expression. 3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full() users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full() semantics were changed, he wrote: I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones. Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that writing it this way does not have an intentional benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly cargo-culted into new sites). So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for write_in_full()). [1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is _larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken version of write(), it would already invoke undefined behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

2017-09-14config: avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) < len" patternJeff King
The return type of write_in_full() is a signed ssize_t, because we may return "-1" on failure (even if we succeeded in writing some bytes). But "len" itself is may be an unsigned type (the function takes a size_t, but of course we may have something else in the calling function). So while it seems like: if (write_in_full(fd, buf, len) < len) die_errno("write error"); would trigger on error, it won't if "len" is unsigned. The compiler sees a signed/unsigned comparison and promotes the signed value, resulting in (size_t)-1, the highest possible size_t (or again, whatever type the caller has). This cannot possibly be smaller than "len", and so the conditional can never trigger. I scoured the code base for cases of this, but it turns out that these two in git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() are the only ones. Here our "len" is the difference between two size_t variables, making the result an unsigned size_t. We can fix this by just checking for a negative return value directly, as write_in_full() will never return any value except -1 or the full count. There's no addition to the test suite here, since you need to convince write() to fail in order to see the problem. The simplest reproduction recipe I came up with is to trigger ENOSPC: # make a limited-size filesystem dd if=/dev/zero of=small.disk bs=1M count=1 mke2fs small.disk mkdir mnt sudo mount -o loop small.disk mnt cd mnt sudo chown $USER:$USER . # make a config file with some content git config --file=config one.key value git config --file=config two.key value # now fill up the disk dd if=/dev/zero of=fill # and try to delete a key, which requires copying the rest # of the file to config.lock, and will fail on write() git config --file=config --unset two.key That final command should (and does after this patch) produce an error message due to the failed write, and leave the file intact. Instead, it silently ignores the failure and renames config.lock into place, leaving you with a totally empty config file!

2017-09-14archive: don't add empty directories to archivesRené Scharfe
While git doesn't track empty directories, git archive can be tricked into putting some into archives. One way is to construct an empty tree object, as t5004 does. While that is supported by the object database, it can't be represented in the index and thus it's unlikely to occur in the wild. Another way is using the literal name of a directory in an exclude pathspec -- its contents are are excluded, but the directory stub is included. That's inconsistent: exclude pathspecs containing wildcards don't leave empty directories in the archive. Yet another way is have a few levels of nested subdirectories (e.g. d1/d2/d3/file1) and ignoring the entries at the leaves (e.g. file1). The directories with the ignored content are ignored as well (e.g. d3), but their empty parents are included (e.g. d2). As empty directories are not supported by git, they should also not be written into archives. If an empty directory is really needed then it can be tracked and archived by placing an empty .gitignore file in it. There already is a mechanism in place for suppressing empty directories. When read_tree_recursive() encounters a directory excluded by a pathspec then it enters it anyway because it might contain included entries. It calls the callback function before it is able to decide if the directory is actually needed. For that reason git archive adds directories to a queue and writes entries for them only when it encounters the first child item -- but currently only if pathspecs with wildcards are used. Queue *all* directories, no matter if there even are pathspecs present. This prevents git archive from writing entries for empty directories in all cases.
