flex-array: simplify compiler-specific workaround
We use "type array[];" syntax for the flex-array member at the end
of a struct under C99 or later, except when we are building with
older SUNPRO_C compilers. As we find more vendor compilers that
claim to grok C99 but not understand the flex-array syntax, the
existing "If we are using C99, but not with these compilers..."
conditional will keep growing.
Make it more manageable by listing vendor-specific exceptions
earlier, with the expectation that new exceptions will not be
combined into existing ones to make the condition longer, and
instead will be implemented as a new "#elif" in the cascade of
similar to old SUNPRO_C, we can just add a single line
#elif defined(_MSC_VER)
immediately before "#elif defined(__GNUC__)" to cause us to fallback
to the safer but a bit wasteful version.

Change the "error: " output when we exit with 128 due to gc.log errors
to use a "fatal: " prefix instead. To do this add a
die_message_errno() a sibling function to the die_errno() added in a
preceding commit.
Before this we'd expect report_last_gc_error() to return -1 from
error_errno() in this case. It already treated a status of 0 and 1
specially. Let's just document that anything that's not 0 or 1 should
be returned.
We could also retain the "ret < 0" behavior here without hardcoding
128 by returning -128, and having the caller do a "return -ret", but I
think this makes more sense, and preserves the path from
die_message*()'s return value to the "return" without hardcoding
"128".

We have code in various places that would like to call die(), but
wants to defer the exit(128) it would invoke, e.g. to print an
additional message, or adjust the exit code. Add a die_message()
helper routine to bridge this gap in the API.
Functionally this behaves just like the error() routine, except it'll
print a "fatal: " prefix, and it will return with 128 instead of -1,
this is so that caller can pass the return value to "exit()", instead
of having to hardcode "exit(128)".
Note that as with the other routines the "die_message_builtin" needs
to return "void" and otherwise conform to the "report_fn"
signature.
As we'll see in a subsequent commit callers will want to replace
e.g. their default "die_routine" with a "die_message_routine".
For now we're just adding the routine and making die_builtin() in
usage.c itself use it. In order to do that we need to add a
get_die_message_routine() function, which works like the other
get_*_routine() functions in usage.c. There is no
set_die_message_rotine(), as it hasn't been needed yet. We can add it
if we ever need it.

The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago. It
provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for
macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a
wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use.
We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be
cautious. As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a
later C standard, such as C11 or C17. POSIX has required C99 support as
a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX
system which we are interested in supporting has C99.
Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and
C17 with an appropriate update. Moreover, even if people are using an
older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some
implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU
coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009.
Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang
is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently
capable.
Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using
an older compiler. We'll add a comment telling people how to enable
this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both
will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing
a problem to report that to us on the list.
Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we
use a well-known hack of using "- 0". On compilers with this macro, it
doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be
replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0.
For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've
traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions
when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that. sparse
also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't.
Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC. We do this
because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly
support C99. We do this with a compiler options because setting the
C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we
don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers.
In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself,
since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking
for C99 causes things to fail to compile. The error message should make
it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate
option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that
doesn't support it by default.

Add fatal wrappers for setenv() and unsetenv(). In d7ac12b25d (Add
set_git_dir() function, 2007-08-01) we started checking its return
value, and since 48988c4d0c (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.

Remove the USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N compile-time option which was
meant to catch an inadvertent mistake which is too obscure to
maintain this facility.
The backstory of how USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N came about is: When I
added the N_() macro in 6578483036 (i18n: add no-op _() and N_()
wrappers, 2011-02-22) it was defined as:
#define N_(msgid) (msgid)
This is non-standard C, as was noticed and fixed in 642f85faab (i18n:
avoid parenthesized string as array initializer, 2011-04-07).
I.e. this needed to be defined as:
#define N_(msgid) msgid
Then in e62cd35a3e (i18n: log: mark parseopt strings for translation,
2012-08-20) when "builtin_log_usage" was marked for translation the
string concatenation for passing to usage() added in 1c370ea4e5
(Show usage string for 'git log -h', 'git show -h' and 'git diff -h',
2009-08-06) was faithfully preserved:
- "git log [<options>] [<since>..<until>] [[--] <path>...]\n"
- " or: git show [options] <object>...",
+ N_("git log [<options>] [<since>..<until>] [[--] <path>...]\n")
+ N_(" or: git show [options] <object>..."),
This was then fixed to be the expected array of usage strings in
e66dc0cc4b (log.c: fix translation markings, 2015-01-06) rather than
a string with multiple "\n"-delimited usage strings, and finally in
290c8e7a3f (gettext.h: add parentheses around N_ expansion if
supported, 2015-01-11) USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N was added to ensure
this mistake didn't happen again.
I think that even if this was a N_()-specific issue this
USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N facility wouldn't be worth it, the issue
would be too rare to worry about.
But I also think that 290c8e7a3f which introduced
USE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N misattributed the problem. The issue
wasn't with the N_() macro added in e62cd35a3e, but that before the
N_() macro existed in the codebase the initial migration to
parse_options() in 1c370ea4e5 continued passsing in a "\n"-delimited
string, when the new API it was migrating to supported and expected
the passing of an array.

The xsize_t helper aims to safely convert an off_t to a size_t,
erroring out when a file offset is too large to fit into a memory
address. It does this by using two casts:
size_t size = (size_t) len;
if (len != (off_t) size)
... error out ...
On a platform with sizeof(size_t) < sizeof(off_t), this check is safe
and correct. The first cast truncates to a size_t by finding the
remainder modulo SIZE_MAX+1 (see C99 section 6.3.1.3 Signed and
unsigned integers) and the second promotes to an off_t, meaning the
result is true if and only if len is representable as a size_t.
On other platforms, this two-casts strategy still works well (always
succeeds) for len >= 0. But for len < 0, when the first cast succeeds
and produces SIZE_MAX + 1 + len, the resulting value is too large to
be represented as an off_t, so the second cast produces implementation
defined behavior. In practice, it is likely to produce a result of
true despite len not being representable as size_t.
Simplify by replacing with a more straightforward check: compare len
to the relevant bounds and then cast it. (To avoid a -Wsign-compare
warning, after checking that len >= 0, we explicitly convert to a
sufficiently-large unsigned type before comparing to SIZE_MAX.)
In practice, this is not likely to come up since typical callers use
nonnegative len. Still, it's helpful to handle this case to make the
behavior easy to reason about.
Historical note: the original bounds-checking in 46be82dfd0 (xsize_t:
check whether we lose bits, 2010-07-28) did not produce this
implementation-defined behavior, though it still did not handle
negative offsets. It was not until 73560c793a (git-compat-util.h:
xsize_t() - avoid -Wsign-compare warnings, 2017-09-21) introduced the
double cast that the implementation-defined behavior was triggered.

Work around platforms whose open() is reported to return EINTR (it
shouldn't, as we do our signals with SA_RESTART).
* jk/open-returns-eintr:
config.mak.uname: enable OPEN_RETURNS_EINTR for macOS Big Sur
Makefile: add OPEN_RETURNS_EINTR knob
On some platforms, open() reportedly returns EINTR when opening regular
files and we receive a signal (usually SIGALRM from our progress meter).
This shouldn't happen, as open() should be a restartable syscall, and we
specify SA_RESTART when setting up the alarm handler. So it may actually
be a kernel or libc bug for this to happen. But it has been reported on
at least one version of Linux (on a network filesystem):
https://lore.kernel.org/git/c8061cce-71e4-17bd-a56a-a5fed93804da@neanderfunk.de/
as well as on macOS starting with Big Sur even on a regular filesystem.
We can work around it by retrying open() calls that get EINTR, just as
we do for read(), etc. Since we don't ever _want_ to interrupt an open()
call, we can get away with just redefining open, rather than insisting
all callsites use xopen().
We actually do have an xopen() wrapper already (and it even does this
retry, though there's no indication of it being an observed problem back
then; it seems simply to have been lifted from xread(), etc). But it is
used hardly anywhere, and isn't suitable for general use because it will
die() on error. In theory we could combine the two, but it's awkward to
do so because of the variable-args interface of open().
This patch adds a Makefile knob for enabling the workaround. It's not
enabled by default for any platforms in config.mak.uname yet, as we
don't have enough data to decide how common this is (I have not been
able to reproduce on either Linux or Big Sur myself). It may be worth
enabling preemptively anyway, since the cost is pretty low (if we don't
see an EINTR, it's just an extra conditional).
However, note that we must not enable this on Windows. It doesn't do
anything there, and the macro overrides the existing mingw_open()
redirection. I've added a preemptive #undef here in the mingw header
(which is processed first) to just quietly disable it (we could also
make it an #error, but there is little point in being so aggressive).

Some callers of open() would like to use O_NOFOLLOW, but it is not
available on all platforms. Let's abstract this into a helper function
so we can provide system-specific implementations.
Some light web-searching reveals that we might be able to get something
similar on Windows using FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT. I didn't dig into
this further.
For other systems without O_NOFOLLOW or any equivalent, we have two
options for fallback:
- we can just open anyway, following symlinks; this may have security
implications (e.g., following untrusted in-tree symlinks)
- we can determine whether the path is a symlink with lstat().
This is slower (two syscalls instead of one), but that may be
acceptable for infrequent uses like looking up .gitattributes files
(especially because we can get away with a single syscall for the
common case of ENOENT).
It's also racy, but should be sufficient for our needs (we are
worried about in-tree symlinks that we ourselves would have
previously created). We could make it non-racy at the cost of making
it even slower, by doing an fstat() on the opened descriptor and
comparing the dev/ino fields to the original lstat().
This patch implements the lstat() option in its slightly-faster racy
form.

Before checking out a file, we have to confirm that all of its leading
components are real existing directories. And to reduce the number of
lstat() calls in this process, we cache the last leading path known to
contain only directories. However, when a path collision occurs (e.g.
when checking out case-sensitive files in case-insensitive file
systems), a cached path might have its file type changed on disk,
leaving the cache on an invalid state. Normally, this doesn't bring
any bad consequences as we usually check out files in index order, and
therefore, by the time the cached path becomes outdated, we no longer
need it anyway (because all files in that directory would have already
been written).
But, there are some users of the checkout machinery that do not always
follow the index order. In particular: checkout-index writes the paths
in the same order that they appear on the CLI (or stdin); and the
delayed checkout feature -- used when a long-running filter process
replies with "status=delayed" -- postpones the checkout of some entries,
thus modifying the checkout order.
When we have to check out an out-of-order entry and the lstat() cache is
invalid (due to a previous path collision), checkout_entry() may end up
using the invalid data and thrusting that the leading components are
real directories when, in reality, they are not. In the best case
scenario, where the directory was replaced by a regular file, the user
will get an error: "fatal: unable to create file 'foo/bar': Not a
directory". But if the directory was replaced by a symlink, checkout
could actually end up following the symlink and writing the file at a
wrong place, even outside the repository. Since delayed checkout is
affected by this bug, it could be used by an attacker to write
arbitrary files during the clone of a maliciously crafted repository.
Some candidate solutions considered were to disable the lstat() cache
during unordered checkouts or sort the entries before passing them to
the checkout machinery. But both ideas include some performance penalty
and they don't future-proof the code against new unordered use cases.
Instead, we now manually reset the lstat cache whenever we successfully
remove a directory. Note: We are not even checking whether the directory
was the same as the lstat cache points to because we might face a
scenario where the paths refer to the same location but differ due to
case folding, precomposed UTF-8 issues, or the presence of `..`
components in the path. Two regression tests, with case-collisions and
utf8-collisions, are also added for both checkout-index and delayed
checkout.
Note: to make the previously mentioned clone attack unfeasible, it would
be sufficient to reset the lstat cache only after the remove_subtree()
call inside checkout_entry(). This is the place where we would remove a
directory whose path collides with the path of another entry that we are
currently trying to check out (possibly a symlink). However, in the
interest of a thorough fix that does not leave Git open to
similar-but-not-identical attack vectors, we decided to intercept
all `rmdir()` calls in one fell swoop.
This addresses CVE-2021-21300.

BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item
Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat
[snip]
The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo.
Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts:
The path to the repo and "the rest", if any.
"The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code.
As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine
"/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the
configuration file .git/config is found.
The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the
pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later.
If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this),
"dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå".
Git commands need to:
(a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode"
(b) precocompose argv[]
(c) precompose the prefix, if there was any
The first commit,
76759c7dff "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode"
addressed (a) and (b).
The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c,
because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written.
Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs.
The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff`
learned (a) and (b) in
commit 90a78b83e0 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv"
Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points
resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in
commit 8e712ef6fc "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places"
The bug report from above shows 2 things:
- more commands need to handle precomposed unicode
- (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs
Solution:
precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into
precompose_argv_prefix().
Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read
into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before.
This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before.
The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff, placed
precompose_argv() into parse-options.c
Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well. Existing precompose
calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we
audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they
can never be reached without going through the new call added to
run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones.
But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these
precompose callsites as they are. Because precompose() is
idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string
safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully
vetting the callflows.
There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix.
Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should
be done in future commits.

We allow variadic macros in the code base, but only if there is fallback
code for platforms that lack it. This leads to some annoyances:
- the code is more complicated because of the fallbacks (e.g.,
trace_printf(), etc, is implemented twice with a set of parallel
wrappers).
- some constructs are just impossible and we've had to live without
them (e.g., a cross between FLEX_ALLOC and xstrfmt)
Since this feature is present in C99, we may be able to start counting
on it being available everywhere. Let's start with a weather balloon
patch to find out.
This patch makes the absolute minimal change by always setting
HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS. If somebody runs into a platform where it's a
problem, they can undo it by commenting out the define. Likewise, if we
have to revert this, it would be quite unlikely to cause conflicts.
Once we feel comfortable that this is the right direction, then we can
start ripping out all the spots that actually look at the flag, and
removing the dead code.
