2023-10-10chunk-format: drop pair_chunk_unsafe()Jeff King
There are no callers left, and we don't want anybody to add new ones (they should use the not-unsafe version instead). So let's drop the function. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2023-10-10midx: enforce chunk alignment on readingJeff King
The midx reader assumes chunks are aligned to a 4-byte boundary: we treat the fanout chunk as an array of uint32_t, indexing it to feed the results to ntohl(). Without aligning the chunks, we may violate the CPU's alignment constraints. Though many platforms allow this, some do not. And certanily UBSan will complain, since it is undefined behavior. Even though most chunks are naturally 4-byte-aligned (because they are storing uint32_t or larger types), PNAM is not. It stores NUL-terminated pack names, so you can have a valid chunk with any length. The writing side handles this by 4-byte-aligning the chunk, introducing a few extra NULs as necessary. But since we don't check this on the reading side, we may end up with a misaligned fanout and trigger the undefined behavior. We have two options here: 1. Swap out ntohl(fanout[i]) for get_be32(fanout+i) everywhere. The latter handles alignment itself. It's possible that it's slightly slower (though in practice I'm not sure how true that is, especially for these code paths which then go on to do a binary search). 2. Enforce the alignment when reading the chunks. This is easy to do, since the table-of-contents reader can check it in one spot. I went with the second option here, just because it places less burden on maintenance going forward (it is OK to continue using ntohl), and we know it can't have any performance impact on the actual reads. The commit-graph code uses the same chunk API. It's usually also 4-byte aligned, but some chunks are not (like Bloom filter BDAT chunks). So we'll pass "1" here to allow any alignment. It doesn't suffer from the same problem as midx with its fanout because the fanout chunk is always the first (and the rest of the format dictates that the first chunk will start aligned). The new test shows the effect on a midx with a misaligned PNAM chunk. Note that the midx-reading code treats chunk-toc errors as soft, falling back to the non-midx path rather than calling die(), as we do for other parsing errors. Arguably we should make all of these behave the same, but that's out of scope for this patch. For now the test just expects the fallback behavior.

2023-10-10chunk-format: note that pair_chunk() is unsafeJeff King
The pair_chunk() function is provided as an easy helper for parsing chunks that just want a pointer to a set of bytes. But every caller has a hidden bug: because we return only the pointer without the matching chunk size, the callers have no clue how many bytes they are allowed to look at. And as a result, they may read off the end of the mmap'd data when the on-disk file does not match their expectations. Since chunk files are typically used for local-repository data like commit-graph files and midx's, the security implications here are pretty mild. The worst that can happen is that you hand somebody a corrupted repository tarball, and running Git on it does an out-of-bounds read and crashes. So it's worth being more defensive, but we don't need to drop everything and fix every caller immediately. I noticed the problem because the pair_chunk_fn() callback does not look at its chunk_size argument, and wanted to annotate it to silence -Wunused-parameter. We could do that now, but we'd lose the hint that this code should be audited and fixed. So instead, let's set ourselves up for going down that path: 1. Provide a pair_chunk() function that does return the size, which prepares us for fixing these cases. 2. Rename the existing function to pair_chunk_unsafe(). That gives us an easy way to grep for cases which still need to be fixed, and the name should cause anybody adding new calls to think twice before using it. There are no callers of the "safe" version yet, but we'll add some in subsequent patches. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2023-07-05git-compat-util: move alloc macros to git-compat-util.hCalvin Wan
alloc_nr, ALLOC_GROW, and ALLOC_GROW_BY are commonly used macros for dynamic array allocation. Moving these macros to git-compat-util.h with the other alloc macros focuses alloc.[ch] to allocation for Git objects and additionally allows us to remove inclusions to alloc.h from files that solely used the above macros.

2023-04-24hash-ll.h: split out of hash.h to remove dependency on repository.hElijah Newren
hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However, most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level" parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where the convenience inline functions aren't needed. This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be more explicit about what they depend upon.

2023-03-21csum-file.h: remove unnecessary inclusion of cache.hElijah Newren
With the change in the last commit to move several functions to write-or-die.h, csum-file.h no longer needs to include cache.h. However, removing that include forces several other C files, which directly or indirectly dependend upon csum-file.h's inclusion of cache.h, to now be more explicit about their dependencies.

2023-03-21treewide: be explicit about dependence on gettext.hElijah Newren
Dozens of files made use of gettext functions, without explicitly including gettext.h. This made it more difficult to find which files could remove a dependence on cache.h. Make C files explicitly include gettext.h if they are using it. However, while compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c should also gain an include of gettext.h, it was left out to avoid conflicting with an in-flight topic.

2023-02-24alloc.h: move ALLOC_GROW() functions from cache.hElijah Newren
This allows us to replace includes of cache.h with includes of the much smaller alloc.h in many places. It does mean that we also need to add includes of alloc.h in a number of C files. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2022-05-27chunk-format.h: extract oid_version()Taylor Blau
There are three definitions of an identical function which converts `the_hash_algo` into either 1 (for SHA-1) or 2 (for SHA-256). There is a copy of this function for writing both the commit-graph and multi-pack-index file, and another inline definition used to write the .rev header. Consolidate these into a single definition in chunk-format.h. It's not clear that this is the best header to define this function in, but it should do for now. (Worth noting, the .rev caller expects a 4-byte unsigned, but the other two callers work with a single unsigned byte. The consolidated version uses the latter type, and lets the compiler widen it when required). Another caller will be added in a subsequent patch.

2021-05-19csum-file.h: increase hashfile buffer sizeDerrick Stolee
The hashfile API uses a hard-coded buffer size of 8KB and has ever since it was introduced in c38138c (git-pack-objects: write the pack files with a SHA1 csum, 2005-06-26). It performs a similar function to the hashing buffers in read-cache.c, but that code was updated from 8KB to 128KB in f279894 (read-cache: make the index write buffer size 128K, 2021-02-18). The justification there was that do_write_index() improves from 1.02s to 0.72s. Since our end goal is to have the index writing code use the hashfile API, we need to unify this buffer size to avoid a performance regression. There is a buffer, 'check_buffer', that is used to verify the check_fd file descriptor. When this buffer increases to 128K to fit the data being flushed, it causes the stack to overflow the limits placed in the test suite. To avoid issues with stack size, move both 'buffer' and 'check_buffer' to be heap pointers within 'struct hashfile'. The 'check_buffer' member is left as NULL unless check_fd is set in hashfd_check(). Both buffers are cleared as part of finalize_hashfile() which also frees the full structure. Since these buffers are now on the heap, we can adjust their size based on the needs of the consumer. In particular, callers to hashfd_throughput() are expecting to report progress indicators as the buffer flushes. These callers would prefer the smaller 8k buffer to avoid large delays between updates, especially for users with slower networks. When the progress indicator is not used, the larger buffer is preferrable. By adding a new trace2 region in the chunk-format API, we can see that the writing portion of 'git multi-pack-index write' lowers from ~1.49s to ~1.47s on a Linux machine. These effects may be more pronounced or diminished on other filesystems. The end-to-end timing is too noisy to have a definitive change either way.

2021-02-19chunk-format: restore duplicate chunk checksDerrick Stolee
Before refactoring into the chunk-format API, the commit-graph parsing logic included checks for duplicate chunks. It is unlikely that we would desire a chunk-based file format that allows duplicate chunk IDs in the table of contents, so add duplicate checks into read_table_of_contents().

2021-02-19chunk-format: create read chunk APIDerrick Stolee
Add the capability to read the table of contents, then pair the chunks with necessary logic using read_chunk_fn pointers. Callers will be added in future changes, but the typical outline will be: 1. initialize a 'struct chunkfile' with init_chunkfile(NULL). 2. call read_table_of_contents(). 3. for each chunk to parse, a. call pair_chunk() to assign a pointer with the chunk position, or b. call read_chunk() to run a callback on the chunk start and size. 4. call free_chunkfile() to clear the 'struct chunkfile' data. We are re-using the anonymous 'struct chunkfile' data, as it is internal to the chunk-format API. This gives it essentially two modes: write and read. If the same struct instance was used for both reads and writes, then there would be failures.

2021-02-19chunk-format: create chunk format write APIDerrick Stolee
In anticipation of combining the logic from the commit-graph and multi-pack-index file formats, create a new chunk-format API. Use a 'struct chunkfile' pointer to keep track of data that has been registered for writes. This struct is anonymous outside of chunk-format.c to ensure no user attempts to interfere with the data. The next change will use this API in commit-graph.c, but the general approach is: 1. initialize the chunkfile with init_chunkfile(f). 2. add chunks in the intended writing order with add_chunk(). 3. write any header information to the hashfile f. 4. write the chunkfile data using write_chunkfile(). 5. free the chunkfile struct using free_chunkfile().
