* git-compat-util: introduce skip_to_optional_arg()Christian Couder2017-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We often accept both a "--key" option and a "--key=<val>" option. These options currently are parsed using something like: if (!strcmp(arg, "--key")) { /* do something */ } else if (skip_prefix(arg, "--key=", &arg)) { /* do something with arg */ } which is a bit cumbersome compared to just: if (skip_to_optional_arg(arg, "--key", &arg)) { /* do something with arg */ } This also introduces skip_to_optional_arg_default() for the few cases where something different should be done when the first argument is exactly "--key" than when it is exactly "--key=". In general it is better for UI consistency and simplicity if "--key" and "--key=" do the same thing though, so that using skip_to_optional_arg() should be encouraged compared to skip_to_optional_arg_default(). Note that these functions can be used to parse any "key=value" string where "key" is also considered as valid, not just command line options.

This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know _when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was early in the program, then it's probably a real and important leak. But if it was used right up until program exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress it so that we can see the real leaks. This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so. To understand its design, let's first look at some of the alternatives. Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A leak-checker basically knows two things: 1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the callstack during the allocation. 2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the program (and which are unreachable, but more on that later). Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK to leak. So imagine you have code like this: int cmd_foo(...) { /* this allocates some memory */ char *p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); return 0; } You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(), they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to know about those leaks. So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls some_function". That works, but your annotations are brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of the intermediate code changes, you have to update the suppression. What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about "p" in the first place. However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would report even globals which are still accessible when the leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory (like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on, transitively marking anything reachable from a global as "not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category). So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*() functions are called from other commands). Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That list is reachable even at program exit, which confers recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak. In other words, you can do: int cmd_foo(...) { char *p = some_function(); printf("%s", p); UNLEAK(p); return 0; } to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report. But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has several advantages over actually freeing the memory: 1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p" is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a function which knows how to free all of the struct members. By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers reachability on any pointers it contains (including those found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking heap blocks recursively. 2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is allocated or not. For example: char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function(); It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore our bytes. 3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_ been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip over those bytes as uninteresting. 4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable. This is helpful in cases like this: char *p = some_function(); return another_function(p); Writing this with free() requires: int ret; char *p = some_function(); ret = another_function(p); free(p); return ret; But with unleak we can just write: char *p = some_function(); UNLEAK(p); return another_function(p); This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost. It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with LSAN. Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them both into strbuf_release() calls).

The only difference is that free() is called unconditionally, see [1]. See [2] for a suggested alternative which does this via a function instead of a macro. As covered in replies to that message, while it's a viable approach, it would introduce caveats which this approach doesn't have, so that potential change is left to a future follow-up change.

We use die() here because it's convenient, but there are a few draw-backs: 1. Without parsing the messages, it's hard for callers to distinguish BUG assertions from regular errors. For instance, it would be nice if the test suite could check that we don't hit any assertions, but test_must_fail will pass BUG deaths as OK. 2. It would be useful to add more debugging features to BUG assertions, like file/line numbers or dumping core. 3. The die() handler can be replaced, and might not actually exit the whole program (e.g., it may just pthread_exit()). This is convenient for normal errors, but for an assertion failure (which is supposed to never happen), we're probably better off taking down the whole process as quickly and cleanly as possible. We could address these by checking in die() whether the error message starts with "BUG", and behaving appropriately. But there's little advantage at that point to sharing the die() code, and only downsides (e.g., we can't change the BUG() interface independently). Moreover, converting all of the existing BUG calls reveals that the test suite does indeed trigger a few of them. Instead, this patch introduces a new BUG() function, which prints an error before dying via SIGABRT. This gives us test suite checking and core dumps. The function is actually a macro (when supported) so that we can show the file/line number. We can convert die("BUG") invocations to BUG() in further patches, dealing with any test fallouts individually.

This was only a good choice on Linux, where we know implicitly that `unsigned long` is what is used for `time_t`. However, we want to use a different data type for timestamps for two reasons: - there is nothing that says that `unsigned long` should be the same data type as `time_t`, and indeed, on 64-bit Windows for example, it is not: `unsigned long` is 32-bit but `time_t` is 64-bit. - even on 32-bit Linux, where `unsigned long` (and thereby `time_t`) is 32-bit, we *want* to be able to encode timestamps in Git that are currently absurdly far in the future, *even if* the system library is not able to format those timestamps into date strings. So let's just switch to the maximal integer type available, which should be at least 64-bit for all practical purposes these days. It certainly cannot be worse than `unsigned long`, so...

| * | | | | timestamp_t: a new data type for timestampsJohannes Schindelin2017-04-27

Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit versions). So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type. By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all timestamps' data type in one go. As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`, we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them. There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows, time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type. So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for timestamps.

If there is a repack operation going on in parallel with a fetch, the fetch might open a pack, and then be forced to close it due to packedGitLimit being hit. The repack could then delete the pack out from under the fetch, causing the fetch to fail. Increase core.packedGitLimit's default value to prevent this. On current 64-bit x86_64 machines, 48 bits of address space are available. It appears that 64-bit ARM machines have no standard amount of address space (that is, it varies by manufacturer), and IA64 and POWER machines have the full 64 bits. So 48 bits is the only limit that we can reasonably care about. We reserve a few bits of the 48-bit address space for the kernel's use (this is not strictly necessary, but it's better to be safe), and use up to the remaining 45. No git repository will be anywhere near this large any time soon, so this should prevent the failure.
