2024-06-14remote: transfer ownership of memory in add_url(), etcJeff King1-14/+19
Many of the internal functions in remote.c take const strings and store them forever in instances of "struct remote". Since the functions are internal and callers are aware of the convention, this seems to mostly work and not cause leaks. But there are some issues: - it's impossible to clear any of the arrays, because the data dependencies between them are too muddled (if you free() a string, it might also be referenced from another array, causing a user-after-free; but if you don't, that might be the last reference, causing a leak). This is mostly of interest for further refactoring and features, but there's at least one spot that's already a problem. In alias_all_urls(), we replace elements of remote->url and remote->pushurl with their aliased forms, dropping references to the original. - sometimes strings from outside callers make their way in. For example, calling remote_get("foo") when there is no configured "foo" remote will create a remote struct with the single url "foo". But we'll do so by holding on to the string passed to remote_get() forever. In practice I think this works out because we'd usually pass in a string that lasts the length of the program (a string literal, or argv reference, or other data structure allocated in the main function). But it's a rather subtle requirement. Instead, let's have remote->url and remote->pushurl own their string memory. They'll copy the const strings that are passed in, and callers can stop making their own copies. Likewise, when we overwrite an entry, we can free the memory it points to, fixing the leak mentioned above. We'll leave the struct members as "const" since they are visible to the outside world, and shouldn't usually be touched. This requires casting on free() for now, but we'll clean that further in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-14remote: refactor alias_url() memory ownershipJeff King1-11/+15
The alias_url() function may return either a newly allocated string (which the caller must take ownership of), or the original const "url" parameter that was passed in. This often works OK because callers are generally passing in a "url" that they expect to retain ownership of anyway. So whether we got back the original or a new string, we're always interested in storing it forever. But I suspect there are some possible leaks here (e.g., add_url_alias() may end up discarding the original "url"). Whether there are active leaks or not, this is a confusing setup that makes further refactoring of memory ownership harder. So instead of returning the original string, return NULL, forcing callers to decide what to do with it explicitly. We can then build further cleanups on top of that.

2024-06-14archive: fix check for missing urlJeff King1-1/+1
Running "git archive --remote" checks that we have at least one url for the remote. It does so by looking at remote.url[0], but that won't work; if we have no url at all, then remote.url will be NULL, and we'll segfault. Check url_nr instead, which is a more direct way of asking what we want. You can trigger the segfault like this: git -c remote.foo.vcs=bar archive --remote=foo but I didn't bother adding a test. This is the tip of the iceberg for no-url remotes, and a later patch will improve that situation. I just wanted to clean up this bug so it didn't make further refactoring of this code more confusing.

2024-06-14BreakingChanges: document that we do not plan to deprecate git-checkoutPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+12
The git-checkout(1) command is seen by many as hard to understand because it connects two somewhat unrelated features: switching between branches and restoring worktree files from arbitrary revisions. In 2019, we thus implemented two new commands git-switch(1) and git-restore(1) to split out these separate concerns into standalone functions. This "replacement" of git-checkout(1) has repeatedly triggered concerns for our userbase that git-checkout(1) will eventually go away. This is not the case though: the use of that command is still widespread, and it is not expected that this will change anytime soon. Document that all three commands will remain for the foreseeable future. This decision may be revisited in case we ever figure out that most everyone has given up on any of the commands.

2024-06-14BreakingChanges: document upcoming change from "sha1" to "sha256"Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+30
Starting with 8e42eb0e9a (doc: sha256 is no longer experimental, 2023-07-31), the "sha256" object format is no longer considered to be experimental. Furthermore, the SHA-1 hash function is actively recommended against by for example NIST and FIPS 140-2, and attacks against it are becoming more practical both due to new weaknesses (SHAppening, SHAttered, Shambles) and due to the ever-increasing computing power. It is only a matter of time before it can be considered to be broken completely. Let's plan for this event by being active instead of waiting for it to happend and announce that the default object format is going to change from "sha1" to "sha256" with Git 3.0. All major Git implementations (libgit2, JGit, go-git) support the "sha256" object format and are thus prepared for this change. The most important missing piece in the puzzle is support in forges. But while GitLab recently gained experimental support for the "sha256" object format though, to the best of my knowledge GitHub doesn't support it yet. Ideally, announcing this upcoming change will encourage forges to start building that support. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-14docs: introduce document to announce breaking changesPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+80
Over time, Git has grown quite a lot. With this evolution, many ideas that were sensible at the time they were introduced are not anymore and are thus considered to be deprecated. And while some deprecations may be noted in manpages, most of them are actually deprecated in the "hive mind" of the Git community, only. Introduce a new document that tracks such breaking changes, but also deprecations which we are not willing to go through with, to address this issue. This document serves multiple purposes: - It is a way to facilitate discussion around proposed deprecations. - It allows users to learn about deprecations and speak up in case they have good reasons why a certain feature should not be deprecated. - It states intent and documents where the Git project wants to go, both in the case where we want to deprecate, but also in the case where we don't want to deprecate a specific feature. The document is _not_ intended to cast every single discussion into stone. It is supposed to be a living document that may change over time when there are good reasons for it to change.

2024-06-12object-name: don't try to abbreviate to lengths greater than hexszPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
When given a length that equals the current hash algorithm's hex size, then `repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()` exits early without trying to find an abbreviation. This is only sensible because there is nothing to abbreviate in the first place, so searching through objects to find a unique prefix would be a waste of compute. What we don't handle though is the case where the user passes a length greater than the hash length. This is fine in practice as we still compute the correct result. But at the very least, this is a waste of resources as we try to abbreviate a value that cannot be abbreviated, which causes us to hit the object database. Start to explicitly handle values larger than hexsz to avoid this performance penalty, which leads to a measureable speedup. The following benchmark has been executed in linux.git: Benchmark 1: git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit (revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 12.812 s ± 0.040 s [User: 12.225 s, System: 0.554 s] Range (min … max): 12.723 s … 12.857 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit (revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 11.095 s ± 0.029 s [User: 10.546 s, System: 0.521 s] Range (min … max): 11.037 s … 11.122 s 10 runs Summary git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit HEAD (revision = HEAD) ran 1.15 ± 0.00 times faster than git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit HEAD (revision = HEAD~) Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-12parse-options-cb: stop clamping "--abbrev=" to hash lengthPatrick Steinhardt2-2/+12
The `OPT__ABBREV()` option allows the user to specify the length that object hashes shall be abbreviated to. This length needs to be in the range of `(MIN_ABBREV, the_hash_algo->hexsz)`, which is why we clamp the value as required. While this makes sense in the case of `MIN_ABBREV`, it is unnecessary for the upper boundary as the value is eventually passed down to `repo_find_unnique_abbrev_r()`, which handles values larger than the current hash length just fine. In the preceding commit, we have changed parsing of the "core.abbrev" config to stop clamping to the upper boundary. Let's do the same here so that the code becomes simpler, we are consistent with how we treat the "core.abbrev" config and so that we stop depending on `the_repository`.

2024-06-12config: fix segfault when parsing "core.abbrev" without repoPatrick Steinhardt3-2/+21
The "core.abbrev" config allows the user to specify the minimum length when abbreviating object hashes. Next to the values "auto" and "no", this config also accepts a concrete length that needs to be bigger or equal to the minimum length and smaller or equal to the hash algorithm's hex length. While the former condition is trivial, the latter depends on the object format used by the current repository. It is thus a variable upper boundary that may either be 40 (SHA-1) or 64 (SHA-256). This has two major downsides. First, the user that specifies this config must be aware of the object hashes that its repository use. If they want to configure the value globally, then they cannot pick any value in the range `[41, 64]` if they have any repository that uses SHA-1. If they did, Git would error out when parsing the config. Second, and more importantly, parsing "core.abbrev" crashes when outside of a Git repository because we dereference `the_hash_algo` to figure out its hex length. Starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash, 2024-05-07) though, we stopped initializing `the_hash_algo` outside of Git repositories. Fix both of these issues by not making it an error anymore when the given length exceeds the hash length. Instead, leave the abbreviated length intact. `repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()` handles this just fine except for a performance penalty which we will fix in a subsequent commit.

2024-06-11Makefile: add ability to append to CFLAGS and LDFLAGSPatrick Steinhardt1-2/+2
There are some usecases where we may want to append CFLAGS to the default CFLAGS set by Git. This could for example be to enable or disable specific compiler warnings or to change the optimization level that code is compiled with. This cannot be done without overriding the complete CFLAGS value though and thus requires the user to redeclare the complete defaults used by Git. Introduce a new variable `CFLAGS_APPEND` that gets appended to the default value of `CFLAGS`. As compiler options are last-one-wins, this fulfills both of the usecases mentioned above. It's also common practice across many other projects to have such a variable. While at it, also introduce a matching `LDFLAGS_APPEND` variable. While there isn't really any need for this variable as there are no default `LDFLAGS`, users may expect this variable to exist, as well.

2024-06-11pack-bitmap.c: avoid uninitialized `pack_int_id` during reuseTaylor Blau2-0/+39
When performing multi-pack reuse, reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap() is responsible for generating an array of bitmapped_pack structs from which to perform reuse. In the multi-pack case, we loop over the MIDXs packs and copy the result of calling `nth_bitmapped_pack()` to construct the list of reusable paths. But we may also want to do pack-reuse over a single pack, either because we only had one pack to perform reuse over (in the case of single-pack bitmaps), or because we explicitly asked to do single pack reuse even with a MIDX[^1]. When this is the case, the array we generate of reusable packs contains only a single element, which is either (a) the pack attached to the single-pack bitmap, or (b) the MIDX's preferred pack. In 795006fff4 (pack-bitmap: gracefully handle missing BTMP chunks, 2024-04-15), we refactored the reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap() function and stopped assigning the pack_int_id field when reusing only the MIDX's preferred pack. This results in an uninitialized read down in try_partial_reuse() like so: ==7474==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value #0 0x55c5cd191dde in try_partial_reuse pack-bitmap.c:1887:8 #1 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap_1 pack-bitmap.c:2001:8 #2 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap pack-bitmap.c:2105:3 #3 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list_from_bitmap builtin/pack-objects.c:4043:3 #4 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list builtin/pack-objects.c:4156:27 #5 0x55c5cce0bd0e in cmd_pack_objects builtin/pack-objects.c:4596:3 #6 0x55c5ccc8fac8 in run_builtin git.c:474:11 which happens when try_partial_reuse() tries to call midx_pair_to_pack_pos() when it tries to reject cross-pack deltas. Avoid the uninitialized read by ensuring that the pack_int_id field is set in the single-pack reuse case by setting it to either the MIDX preferred pack's pack_int_id, or '-1', in the case of single-pack bitmaps. In the latter case, we never read the pack_int_id field, so the choice of '-1' is intentional as a "garbage in, garbage out" measure. Guard against further regressions in this area by adding a test which ensures that we do not throw out deltas from the preferred pack as "cross-pack" due to an uninitialized pack_int_id. [^1]: This can happen for a couple of reasons, either because the repository is configured with 'pack.allowPackReuse=(true|single)', or because the MIDX was generated prior to the introduction of the BTMP chunk, which contains information necessary to perform multi-pack reuse.

2024-06-11midx-write.c: do not read existing MIDX with `packs_to_include`Taylor Blau2-11/+61
Commit d6a8c58675 (midx-write.c: support reading an existing MIDX with `packs_to_include`, 2024-05-29) changed the MIDX generation machinery to support reading from an existing MIDX when writing a new one. Unfortunately, the rest of the MIDX generation machinery is not prepared to deal with such a change. For instance, the function responsible for adding to the object ID fanout table from a MIDX source (midx_fanout_add_midx_fanout()) will gladly add objects from an existing MIDX for some fanout level regardless of whether or not those objects came from packs that are to be included in the subsequent MIDX write. This results in broken pseudo-pack object order (leading to incorrect object traversal results) and segmentation faults, like so (generated by running the added test prior to the changes in midx-write.c): #0 0x000055ee31393f47 in midx_pack_order (ctx=0x7ffdde205c70) at midx-write.c:590 #1 0x000055ee31395a69 in write_midx_internal (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects", packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, packs_to_drop=0x0, preferred_pack_name=0x0, refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15) at midx-write.c:1171 #2 0x000055ee31395f38 in write_midx_file_only (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects", packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, preferred_pack_name=0x0, refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15) at midx-write.c:1274 [...] In stack frame #0, the code on midx-write.c:590 is using the new pack ID corresponding to some object which was added from the existing MIDX. Importantly, the pack from which that object was selected in the existing MIDX does not appear in the new MIDX as it was excluded via `--stdin-packs`. In this instance, the pack in question had pack ID "1" in the existing MIDX, but since it was excluded from the new MIDX, we never filled in that entry in the pack_perm table, resulting in: (gdb) p *ctx->pack_perm@2 $1 = {0, 1515870810} Which is what causes the segfault above when we try and read: struct pack_info *pack = &ctx->info[ctx->pack_perm[i]]; if (pack->bitmap_pos == BITMAP_POS_UNKNOWN) pack->bitmap_pos = 0; Fundamentally, we should be able to read information from an existing MIDX when generating a new one. But in practice the midx-write.c code assumes that we won't run into issues like the above with incongruent pack IDs, and often makes those assumptions in extremely subtle and fragile ways. Instead, let's avoid reading from an existing MIDX altogether, and stick with the pre-d6a8c58675 implementation.

2024-06-11builtin/clone: plug leaking HEAD ref in `wanted_peer_refs()`Patrick Steinhardt4-3/+6
In `wanted_peer_refs()` we first create a copy of the "HEAD" ref. This copy may not actually be passed back to the caller, but is not getting freed in this case. Fix this. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-11apply: fix leaking string in `match_fragment()`Patrick Steinhardt2-32/+56
Before calling `update_pre_post_images()`, we call `strbuf_detach()` to put its buffer into a new string variable that we then pass to that function. Besides being rather pointless, it also causes us to leak memory of that variable because we never free it. Get rid of the variable altogether and instead reach into the `strbuf` directly. While at it, refactor the code to have a common exit path and mark string that do not contain allocated memory as constant.

2024-06-11sequencer: fix leaking string buffer in `commit_staged_changes()`Patrick Steinhardt1-38/+73
We're leaking the `rev` string buffer in various call paths. Refactor the function to have a common exit path so that we can release its memory reliably. This fixes a subset of tests failing with the memory sanitizer in t3404. But as there are more failures, we cannot yet mark the whole test suite as passing.

2024-06-11commit: fix leaking parents when calling `commit_tree_extended()`Patrick Steinhardt16-37/+59
When creating commits via `commit_tree_extended()`, the caller passes in a string list of parents. This call implicitly transfers ownership of that list to the function, which is quite surprising to begin with. But to make matters worse, `commit_tree_extended()` doesn't even bother to free the list of parents in error cases. The result is a memory leak, and one that the caller cannot fix by themselves because they do not know whether parts of the string list have already been released. Refactor the code such that callers can keep ownership of the list of parents, which is getting indicated by parameter being a constant pointer now. Free the lists at the calling site and add a common exit path to those sites as required. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-06-11rerere: fix various trivial leaksPatrick Steinhardt4-0/+6
We leak various different string lists in the rerere code. Free those to plug them. Note that the `merge_rr` variable is intentionally being free'd with the `free_util` parameter set to 1. The `util` field is used there to store the IDs of every rerere item and thus needs to be freed, as well.

2024-06-11revision: free diff optionsPatrick Steinhardt11-7/+17
There is a todo comment in `release_revisions()` that mentions that we need to free the diff options, which was added via 54c8a7c379 (revisions API: add a TODO for diff_free(&revs->diffopt), 2022-04-14). Releasing the diff options wasn't quite feasible at that time because some call sites rely on its contents to remain even after the revisions have been released. In fact, there really only are a couple of callsites that misbehave here: - `cmd_shortlog()` releases the revisions, but continues to access its file pointer. - `do_diff_cache()` creates a shallow copy of `struct diff_options`, but does not set the `no_free` member. Consequently, we end up releasing resources of the caller-provided diff options. - `diff_free()` and friends do not play nice when being called multiple times as they don't unset data structures that they have just released. Fix all of those cases and enable the call to `diff_free()`, which plugs a bunch of memory leaks. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-06-11builtin/merge-recursive: fix leaking object ID basesPatrick Steinhardt6-12/+12
In `cmd_merge_recursive()` we have a static array of object ID bases that we pass to `merge_recursive_generic()`. This interface is somewhat weird though because the latter function accepts a pointer to a pointer of object IDs, which requires us to allocate the object IDs on the heap. And as we never free those object IDs, the end result is a leak. While we can easily solve this leak by just freeing the respective object IDs, the whole calling convention is somewhat weird. Instead, refactor `merge_recursive_generic()` to accept a plain pointer to object IDs so that we can avoid allocating them altogether.

2024-06-11object-name: free leaking object contextsPatrick Steinhardt11-47/+97
While it is documented in `struct object_context::path` that this variable needs to be released by the caller, this fact is rather easy to miss given that we do not ever provide a function to release the object context. And of course, while some callers dutifully release the path, many others don't. Introduce a new `object_context_release()` function that releases the path. Convert callsites that used to free the path to use that new function and add missing calls to callsites that were leaking memory. Refactor those callsites as required to have a single return path, only. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-11builtin/rev-list: fix leaking bitmap index when calculating disk usagePatrick Steinhardt2-0/+4
git-rev-list(1) can speed up its object size calculations for reachable objects via a bitmap walk, if there is any bitmap. This is done in `try_bitmap_disk_usage()`, which tries to optimistically load the bitmap and then use it, if available. It never frees it though, leading to a memory leak. Fix this.

2024-06-11notes: fix memory leak when pruning notesPatrick Steinhardt2-1/+7

2024-06-11revision: fix leaking display notesPatrick Steinhardt4-6/+15
We never free the display notes options embedded into `struct revision`. Implement a new function `release_display_notes()` that we can call in `release_revisions()` to fix this. There is another gotcha here though: we play some games with the string list used to track extra notes refs, where we sometimes set the bit that indicates that strings should be strdup'd and sometimes unset it. This dance is done to avoid a copy of an already-allocated string when we call `enable_ref_display_notes()`. But this dance is rather pointless as we can instead call `string_list_append_nodup()` to transfer ownership of the allocated string to the list. Refactor the code to do so and drop the `strdup_strings` dance. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-06-11merge-recursive: fix leaking rename conflict infoPatrick Steinhardt4-1/+10
When computing rename conflicts in our recursive merge algorithm we set up `struct rename_conflict_info`s to track that information. We never free those data structures though and thus leak memory. We need to be a bit more careful here though because the same rename conflict info can be assigned to multiple structures. Accommodate for this by introducing a `rename_conflict_info_owned` bit that we can use to steer whether or not the rename conflict info shall be free'd.
