Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make me think "lean and mean". With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on failure) unnecessarily. So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os": Before: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 700460 15160 292184 1007804 f60bc git After: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 670540 15160 292184 977884 eebdc git so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint). It might conceivably have a performance impact, but none of this should be _that_ performance critical. The real cost is not generally in the wrapper anyway, but in the code it wraps (ie the cost of "xread()" is all in the read itself, not in the trivial wrapping of it).

packfile: drop release_pack_memory() Long ago, in 97bfeb34df (Release pack windows before reporting out of memory., 2006-12-24), we taught xmalloc() and friends to try unmapping pack windows when malloc() failed. It's unlikely that his helps a lot in practice, and it has some downsides. First, the downsides: 1. It makes xmalloc() not thread-safe. We've worked around this in pack-objects.c, which installs its own locking version of the try_to_free_routine(). But other threaded code doesn't. 2. It makes the system as a whole harder to reason about. Functions which allocate heap memory under the hood may have farther-reaching effects than expected. That might be worth the tradeoff if there's a benefit. But in practice, it seems unlikely. We're generally dealing with mmap'd files, so the OS is going to do a much better job at responding to memory pressure by dropping individual pages (the exception is systems with NO_MMAP, but even there the OS can probably respond just as well with swapping). So the only thing we're really freeing is address space. On 64-bit systems, we have plenty of that to go around. On 32-bit systems, it could possibly help. But around the same time we made two other changes: 77ccc5bbd1 (Introduce new config option for mmap limit., 2006-12-23) and 60bb8b1453 (Fully activate the sliding window pack access., 2006-12-23). Together that means that a 32-bit system should have no more than 256MB total of packed-git mmaps at one time, split between a few 32MB windows. It's unlikely we have any address space problems since then, but we don't have any data since the features were all added at the same time. Likewise, xmmap() will try to free memory. At first glance, it seems like we'd need this (when we try to mmap a new window, we might need to close an old one to save address space on a 32-bit system). But we're saved again by core.packedGitLimit: if we're going to exceed our 256MB limit, we'll close an existing window before we even call mmap(). So it seems unlikely that this feature is actually doing anything useful. And while we don't have reports of it harming anything (probably because it rarely if ever kicks in), it would be nice to simplify the system overall. This patch drops the whole try_to_free system from xmalloc(), as well as the manual pack memory release in xmmap().

void *xrealloc(void *ptr, size_t size)
{
void *ret;
xrealloc: do not reuse pointer freed by zero-length realloc() This patch fixes a bug where xrealloc(ptr, 0) can double-free and corrupt the heap on some platforms (including at least glibc). The C99 standard says of malloc (section 7.20.3): If the size of the space requested is zero, the behavior is implementation-defined: either a null pointer is returned, or the behavior is as if the size were some nonzero value, except that the returned pointer shall not be used to access an object. So we might get NULL back, or we might get an actual pointer (but we're not allowed to look at its contents). To simplify our code, our xmalloc() handles a NULL return by converting it into a single-byte allocation. That way callers get consistent behavior. This was done way back in 4e7a2eccc2 (?alloc: do not return NULL when asked for zero bytes, 2005-12-29). We also gave xcalloc() and xrealloc() the same treatment. And according to C99, that is fine; the text above is in a paragraph that applies to all three. But what happens to the memory we passed to realloc() in such a case? I.e., if we do: ret = realloc(ptr, 0); and "ptr" is non-NULL, but we get NULL back, is "ptr" still valid? C99 doesn't cover this case specifically, but says (section 7.20.3.4): The realloc function deallocates the old object pointed to by ptr and returns a pointer to a new object that has the size specified by size. So "ptr" is now deallocated, and we must only look at "ret". And since "ret" is NULL, that means we have no allocated object at all. But that's not quite the whole story. It also says: If memory for the new object cannot be allocated, the old object is not deallocated and its value is unchanged. [...] The realloc function returns a pointer to the new object (which may have the same value as a pointer to the old object), or a null pointer if the new object could not be allocated. So if we see a NULL return with a non-zero size, we can expect that the original object _is_ still valid. But with a non-zero size, it's ambiguous. The NULL return might mean a failure (in which case the object is valid), or it might mean that we successfully allocated nothing, and used NULL to represent that. The glibc manpage for realloc() explicitly says: [...]if size is equal to zero, and ptr is not NULL, then the call is equivalent to free(ptr). Likewise, this StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2135302 claims that C89 gave similar guidance (but I don't have a copy to verify it). A comment on this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2022410 claims that Microsoft's CRT behaves the same. But our current "retry with 1 byte" code passes the original pointer again. So on glibc, we effectively free() the pointer and then try to realloc() it again, which is undefined behavior. The simplest fix here is to just pass "ret" (which we know to be NULL) to the follow-up realloc(). But that means that a system which _doesn't_ free the original pointer would leak it. It's not clear if any such systems exist, and that interpretation of the standard seems unlikely (I'd expect a system that doesn't deallocate to simply return the original pointer in this case). But it's easy enough to err on the safe side, and just never pass a zero size to realloc() at all. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

packfile: drop release_pack_memory() Long ago, in 97bfeb34df (Release pack windows before reporting out of memory., 2006-12-24), we taught xmalloc() and friends to try unmapping pack windows when malloc() failed. It's unlikely that his helps a lot in practice, and it has some downsides. First, the downsides: 1. It makes xmalloc() not thread-safe. We've worked around this in pack-objects.c, which installs its own locking version of the try_to_free_routine(). But other threaded code doesn't. 2. It makes the system as a whole harder to reason about. Functions which allocate heap memory under the hood may have farther-reaching effects than expected. That might be worth the tradeoff if there's a benefit. But in practice, it seems unlikely. We're generally dealing with mmap'd files, so the OS is going to do a much better job at responding to memory pressure by dropping individual pages (the exception is systems with NO_MMAP, but even there the OS can probably respond just as well with swapping). So the only thing we're really freeing is address space. On 64-bit systems, we have plenty of that to go around. On 32-bit systems, it could possibly help. But around the same time we made two other changes: 77ccc5bbd1 (Introduce new config option for mmap limit., 2006-12-23) and 60bb8b1453 (Fully activate the sliding window pack access., 2006-12-23). Together that means that a 32-bit system should have no more than 256MB total of packed-git mmaps at one time, split between a few 32MB windows. It's unlikely we have any address space problems since then, but we don't have any data since the features were all added at the same time. Likewise, xmmap() will try to free memory. At first glance, it seems like we'd need this (when we try to mmap a new window, we might need to close an old one to save address space on a 32-bit system). But we're saved again by core.packedGitLimit: if we're going to exceed our 256MB limit, we'll close an existing window before we even call mmap(). So it seems unlikely that this feature is actually doing anything useful. And while we don't have reports of it harming anything (probably because it rarely if ever kicks in), it would be nice to simplify the system overall. This patch drops the whole try_to_free system from xmalloc(), as well as the manual pack memory release in xmmap().

wrapper.c: add x{un,}setenv(), and use xsetenv() in environment.c Add fatal wrappers for setenv() and unsetenv(). In d7ac12b25d3 (Add set_git_dir() function, 2007-08-01) we started checking its return value, and since 48988c4d0c3 (set_git_dir: die when setenv() fails, 2018-03-30) we've had set_git_dir_1() die if we couldn't set it. Let's provide a wrapper for both, this will be useful in many other places, a subsequent patch will make another use of xsetenv(). The checking of the return value here is over-eager according to setenv(3) and POSIX. It's documented as returning just -1 or 0, so perhaps we should be checking -1 explicitly. Let's just instead die on any non-zero, if our C library is so broken as to return something else than -1 on error (and perhaps not set errno?) the worst we'll do is die with a nonsensical errno value, but we'll want to die in either case. Let's make these return "void" instead of "int". As far as I can tell there's no other x*() wrappers that needed to make the decision of deviating from the signature in the C library, but since their return value is only used to indicate errors (so we'd die here), we can catch unreachable code such as if (xsetenv(...) < 0) [...]; I think it would be OK skip the NULL check of the "name" here for the calls to die_errno(). Almost all of our setenv() callers are taking a constant string hardcoded in the source as the first argument, and for the rest we can probably assume they've done the NULL check themselves. Even if they didn't, modern C libraries are forgiving about it (e.g. glibc formatting it as "(null)"), on those that aren't, well, we were about to die anyway. But let's include the check anyway for good measure. 1. https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604499/functions/setenv.html Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

According to POSIX [1], if the value of nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction [2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the 32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write, the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a]. Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on performance. The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The new test catches read and write problems. Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use test_must_fail.

Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make me think "lean and mean". With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on failure) unnecessarily. So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os": Before: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 700460 15160 292184 1007804 f60bc git After: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 670540 15160 292184 977884 eebdc git so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint).

xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with: error: read from external filter cat failed error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat error: cat died of signal 13 error: external filter cat failed 141 error: external filter cat failed The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction [2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the 32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write, the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a]. Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on performance. The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The new test catches read and write problems. Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use test_must_fail.

Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make me think "lean and mean". With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on failure) unnecessarily. So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os": Before: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 700460 15160 292184 1007804 f60bc git After: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 670540 15160 292184 977884 eebdc git so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint).

Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make me think "lean and mean". With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on failure) unnecessarily. So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os": Before: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 700460 15160 292184 1007804 f60bc git After: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 670540 15160 292184 977884 eebdc git so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint). It might conceivably have a performance impact, but none of this should be _that_ performance critical. The real cost is not generally in the wrapper anyway, but in the code it wraps (ie the cost of "xread()" is all in the read itself, not in the trivial wrapping of it).

wrapper: use a CSPRNG to generate random file names The current way we generate random file names is by taking the seconds and microseconds, plus the PID, and mixing them together, then encoding them. If this fails, we increment the value by 7777, and try again up to TMP_MAX times. Unfortunately, this is not the best idea from a security perspective. If we're writing into TMPDIR, an attacker can guess these values easily and prevent us from creating any temporary files at all by creating them all first. Even though we set TMP_MAX to 16384, this may be achievable in some contexts, even if unlikely to occur in practice. Fortunately, we can simply solve this by using the system cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) to generate a random 64-bit value, and use that as before. Note that there is still a small bias here, but because a six-character sequence chosen out of 62 characters provides about 36 bits of entropy, the bias here is less than 2^-28, which is acceptable, especially considering we'll retry several times. Note that the use of a CSPRNG in generating temporary file names is also used in many libcs. glibc recently changed from an approach similar to ours to using a CSPRNG, and FreeBSD and OpenBSD also use a CSPRNG in this case. Even if the likelihood of an attack is low, we should still be at least as responsible in creating temporary files as libc is.

We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other proposal that they have to opt into). 2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges, either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed). 3.

Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at all.

avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern 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.

wrapper: add a helper to generate numbers from a CSPRNG There are many situations in which having access to a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) is helpful. In the future, we'll encounter one of these when dealing with temporary files. To make this possible, let's add a function which reads from a system CSPRNG and returns some bytes. We know that all systems will have such an interface. A CSPRNG is required for a secure TLS or SSH implementation and a Git implementation which provided neither would be of little practical use. In addition, POSIX is set to standardize getentropy(2) in the next version, so in the (potentially distant) future we can rely on that. For systems which lack one of the other interfaces, we provide the ability to use OpenSSL's CSPRNG. OpenSSL is highly portable and functions on practically every known OS, and we know it will have access to some source of cryptographically secure randomness. We also provide support for the arc4random in libbsd for folks who would prefer to use that. Because this is a security sensitive interface, we take some precautions. We either succeed by filling the buffer completely as we requested, or we fail. We don't return partial data because the caller will almost never find that to be a useful behavior. Specify a makefile knob which users can use to specify one or more suitable CSPRNGs, and turn the multiple string options into a set of defines, since we cannot match on strings in the preprocessor. We allow multiple options to make the job of handling this in autoconf easier. The order of options is important here. On systems with arc4random, which is most of the BSDs, we use that, since, except on MirBSD and macOS, it uses ChaCha20, which is extremely fast, and sits entirely in userspace, avoiding a system call. We then prefer getrandom over getentropy, because the former has been available longer on Linux, and then OpenSSL. Finally, if none of those are available, we use /dev/urandom, because most Unix-like operating systems provide that API. We prefer options that don't involve device files when possible because those work in some restricted environments where device files may not be available. Set the configuration variables appropriately for Linux and the BSDs, including macOS, as well as Windows and NonStop. We specifically only consider versions which receive publicly available security support here. For the same reason, we don't specify getrandom(2) on Linux, because CentOS 7 doesn't support it in glibc (although its kernel does) and we don't want to resort to making syscalls. Finally, add a test helper to allow this to be tested by hand and in tests. We don't add any tests, since invoking the CSPRNG is not likely to produce interesting, reproducible results.
