This commit fixes an infinite loop when fscking large
truncated loose objects.
The check_stream_sha1() function takes an mmap'd loose
object buffer and streams 4k of output at a time, checking
its sha1. The loop quits when we've output enough bytes (we
know the size from the object header), or when zlib tells us
anything except Z_OK or Z_BUF_ERROR.
The latter is expected because zlib may run out of room in
our 4k buffer, and that is how it tells us to process the
output and loop again.
But Z_BUF_ERROR also covers another case: one in which zlib
cannot make forward progress because it needs more _input_.
This should never happen in this loop, because though we're
streaming the output, we have the entire deflated input
available in the mmap'd buffer. But since we don't check
this case, we'll just loop infinitely if we do see a
truncated object, thinking that zlib is asking for more
output space.
It's tempting to fix this by checking stream->avail_in as
part of the loop condition (and quitting if all of our bytes
have been consumed). But that assumes that once zlib has
consumed the input, there is nothing left to do. That's not
necessarily the case: it may have read our input into its
internal state, but still have bytes to output.
Instead, let's continue on Z_BUF_ERROR only when we see the
case we're expecting: the previous round filled our output
buffer completely. If it didn't (and we still saw
Z_BUF_ERROR), we know something is wrong and should break
out of the loop.
The bug comes from commit f6371f9210 (sha1_file: add
read_loose_object() function, 2017-01-13), which
reimplemented some of the existing loose object functions.
So it's worth checking if this bug was inherited from any of
those. The answers seems to be no. The two obvious
candidates are both OK:
1. unpack_sha1_rest(); this doesn't need to loop on
Z_BUF_ERROR at all, since it allocates the expected
output buffer in advance (which we can't do since we're
explicitly streaming here)
2. check_object_signature(); the streaming path relies on
the istream interface, which uses read_istream_loose()
for this case. That function uses a similar "is our
output buffer full" check with Z_BUF_ERROR (which is
where I stole it from for this patch!)

Commit cce044df7f (fsck: detect trailing garbage in all
object types, 2017-01-13) added two tests of trailing
garbage in a loose object file: one with a commit and one
with a blob. The point of having two is that blobs would
follow a different code path that streamed the contents,
instead of loading it into a buffer as usual.
At the time, merely being a blob was enough to trigger the
streaming code path. But since 7ac4f3a007 (fsck: actually
fsck blob data, 2018-05-02), we now only stream blobs that
are actually large. So since then, the streaming code path
is not tested at all for this case.
We can restore the original intent of the test by tweaking
core.bigFileThreshold to make our small blob seem large.
There's no easy way to externally verify that we followed
the streaming code path, but I did check before/after using
a temporary debug statement.

tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test ! -s'
tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of '! test -s'
Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than
>empty &&
test_cmp empty out
as it saves the creation of an empty file. Furthermore, sometimes the
expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty',
and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used
for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty
files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500
lines later).
These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the
test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted
manually.
Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases
where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files:
- Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but
'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce
the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the
test 'submodule update --merge - ignores --merge for new
submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'.
- Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results
and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper
function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output.
- For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success'
block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'.
- Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update
(-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

that because object is the first member of all object types. This trick

An error message is already shown by object_as_type(), which is called

Reportedly macOS does this, at least in the Travis builds.
The prompt reads from /dev/null, defaulting to "no", and the
object isn't moved. Then to make matters even more
interesting, it still returns "0" and the rest of the test
proceeds, but with a broken setup.

Instead of checking reachability from the refs, you can ask

error checking here is quite lax. In particular:
1. It claims lookup_object() will report an error, which
is not true. It only does a hash lookup, and the user
has no clue that their argument was skipped.
2. When either the name or sha1 cannot be resolved, we
continue to exit with a successful error code, even
though we didn't check what the user asked us to.
This patch fixes both of these cases.

Normally fsck makes a pass over all objects to check their
integrity, and then follows up with a reachability check to
make sure we have all of the referenced objects (and to know
which ones are dangling). The latter checks for the HAS_OBJ
flag in obj->flags to see if we found the object in the
first pass.
Commit 02976bf85 (fsck: introduce `git fsck --connectivity-only`,
2015-06-22) taught fsck to skip the initial pass, and to
fallback to has_sha1_file() instead of the HAS_OBJ check.
However, it converted only one HAS_OBJ check to use
has_sha1_file(). But there are many other places in
builtin/fsck.c that assume that the flag is set (or that
lookup_object() will return an object at all). This leads to
several bugs with --connectivity-only:
1. mark_object() will not queue objects for examination,
so recursively following links from commits to trees,
etc, did nothing. I.e., we were checking the
reachability of hardly anything at all.
2. When a set of heads is given on the command-line, we
use lookup_object() to see if they exist. But without
the initial pass, we assume nothing exists.
3. When loading reflog entries, we do a similar
lookup_object() check, and complain that the reflog is
broken if the object doesn't exist in our hash.
So in short, --connectivity-only is broken pretty badly, and
will claim that your repository is fine when it's not.
Presumably nobody noticed for a few reasons.
One is that the embedded test does not actually test the
recursive nature of the reachability check. All of the
missing objects are still in the index, and we directly
check items from the index. This patch modifies the test to
delete the index, which shows off breakage (1).
Another is that --connectivity-only just skips the initial
pass for loose objects. So on a real repository, the packed
objects were still checked correctly. But on the flipside,
it means that "git fsck --connectivity-only" still checks
the sha1 of all of the packed objects, nullifying its
original purpose of being a faster git-fsck.
And of course the final problem is that the bug only shows
up when there _is_ corruption, which is rare. So anybody
running "git fsck --connectivity-only" proactively would
assume it was being thorough, when it was not.
One possibility for fixing this is to find all of the spots
that rely on HAS_OBJ and tweak them for the connectivity-only
case. But besides the risk that we might miss a spot (and I
found three already, corresponding to the three bugs above),
there are other parts of fsck that _can't_ work without a
full list of objects. E.g., the list of dangling objects.
Instead, let's make the connectivity-only case look more
like the normal case. Rather than skip the initial pass
completely, we'll do an abbreviated one that sets up the
HAS_OBJ flag for each object, without actually loading the
object data.
That's simple and fast, and we don't have to care about the
connectivity_only flag in the rest of the code at all.
While we're at it, let's make sure we treat loose and packed
objects the same (i.e., setting up dummy objects for both
and skipping the actual sha1 check). That makes the
connectivity-only check actually fast on a real repo (40
seconds versus 180 seconds on my copy of linux.git).

After checking connectivity, fsck looks through the list of
any objects we've seen mentioned, and reports unreachable
and un-"used" ones as dangling. However, it skips any object
which is not marked as "parsed", as that is an object that
we _don't_ have (but that somebody mentioned).
Since 6e454b9a3 (clear parsed flag when we free tree
buffers, 2013-06-05), that flag can't be relied on, and the
correct method is to check the HAS_OBJ flag. The cleanup in
that commit missed this callsite, though. As a result, we
would generally fail to report dangling trees.
We never noticed because there were no tests in this area
(for trees or otherwise). Let's add some.

This test creates a multi-level set of trees, but its
cleanup routine only removes the top-level tree. After the
test finishes, the inner tree and the blob it points to
remain, making the inner tree dangling.
A later test ("cleaned up") verifies that we've removed any
cruft and "git fsck" output is clean. This passes only
because of a bug in git-fsck which fails to notice dangling
trees.
In preparation for fixing the bug, let's teach this earlier
test to clean up after itself correctly. We have to remove
the inner tree (and therefore the blob, too, which becomes
dangling after removing that tree).
Since the setup code happens inside a subshell, we can't
just set a variable for each object. However, we can stuff
all of the sha1s into the $T output variable, which is not
used for anything except cleanup.

When a loose tree or commit is read by fsck (or any git
program), unpack_sha1_rest() checks whether there is extra
cruft at the end of the object file, after the zlib data.
Blobs that are streamed, however, do not have this check.
For normal git operations, it's not a big deal. We know the
sha1 and size checked out, so we have the object bytes we
wanted. The trailing garbage doesn't affect what we're
trying to do.
But since the point of fsck is to find corruption or other
problems, it should be more thorough. This patch teaches its
loose-sha1 reader to detect extra bytes after the zlib
stream and complain.

When we iterate over the list of loose objects to check, we
get the actual path of each object. But we then throw it
away and pass just the sha1 to fsck_sha1(), which will do a
fresh lookup. Usually it would find the same object, but it
may not if an object exists both as a loose and a packed
object. We may end up checking the packed object twice, and
never look at the loose one.
In practice this isn't too terrible, because if fsck doesn't
complain, it means you have at least one good copy. But
since the point of fsck is to look for corruption, we should
be thorough.
The new read_loose_object() interface can help us get the
data from disk, and then we replace parse_object() with
parse_object_buffer(). As a bonus, our error messages now
mention the path to a corrupted object, which should make it
easier to track down errors when they do happen.

The code paths in fsck for packed and loose objects are
quite different, and it is not immediately obvious that the
packed case behaves well. In particular:
1. The fsck_loose() function always returns "0" to tell the
iterator to keep checking more objects. Whereas
fsck_obj_buffer() (which handles packed objects)
returns -1. This is OK, because the callback machinery
for verify_pack() does not stop when it sees a non-zero
return.
2. The fsck_loose() function sets the ERROR_OBJECT bit
when fsck_obj() fails, whereas fsck_obj_buffer() sets it
only when it sees a corrupt object. This turns out not
to matter. We don't actually do anything with this bit
except exit the program with a non-zero code, and that
is handled already by the non-zero return from the
function.
So there are no bugs here, but it was certainly confusing to
me. And we do not test either of the properties in t1450
(neither that a non-corruption error will caused a non-zero
exit for a packed object, nor that we keep going after
seeing the first error). Let's test both of those
conditions, so that we'll notice if any of those assumptions
becomes invalid.

When we fail to open a corrupt loose object, we report an
error and mention the filename via sha1_file_name().
However, that function will always give us a path in the
local repository, whereas the corrupt object may have come
from an alternate. The result is a very misleading error
message.
Teach the open_sha1_file() and stat_sha1_file() helpers to
pass back the path they found, so that we can report it
correctly.
Note that the pointers we return go to static storage (e.g.,
from sha1_file_name()), which is slightly dangerous.
However, these helpers are static local helpers, and the
names are used for immediately generating error messages.

helper, but we already had a remove_object() helper that did
the same thing. Let's combine these into one.
The implementations had a few subtle differences, so I've
tried to take the best of both:
- the original used "sed", but the newer version avoids
spawning an extra process
- the original processed "$*", which was nonsense, as it
assumed only a single sha1. Use "$1" to make that more
clear.
- the newer version ran an extra rev-parse, but it was not
necessary; it's sole caller already converted the
argument into a raw sha1
- the original used "rm -f", whereas the new one uses
"rm". The latter is better because it may notice a bug
or other unexpected failure in the test. (The original
does check that the object exists before we remove it,
which is good, but that's a subset of the possible
unexpected conditions).

Our is_hfs_dotgit function relies on the hackily-implemented
next_hfs_char to give us the next character that an HFS+
filename comparison would look at. It's hacky because it
doesn't implement the full case-folding table of HFS+; it
gives us just enough to see if the path matches ".git".
At the end of next_hfs_char, we use tolower() to convert our
32-bit code point to lowercase. Our tolower() implementation
only takes an 8-bit char, though; it throws away the upper
24 bits. This means we can't have any false negatives for
is_hfs_dotgit. We only care about matching 7-bit ASCII
characters in ".git", and we will correctly process 'G' or
'g'.
However, we _can_ have false positives. Because we throw
away the upper bits, code point \u{0147} (for example) will
look like 'G' and get downcased to 'g'. It's not known
whether a sequence of code points whose truncation ends up
as ".git" is meaningful in any language, but it does not
hurt to be more accurate here. We can just pass out the full
32-bit code point, and compare it manually to the upper and
lowercase characters we care about.

New tag object format validation added in 2.2 showed garbage
after a tagname it reported in its error message.
* js/fsck-tag-validation:
index-pack: terminate object buffers with NUL
fsck: properly bound "invalid tag name" error message
Now that the index can block pathnames that can be mistaken
to mean ".git" on NTFS and FAT32, it would be helpful for
fsck to notice such problematic paths. This lets servers
which use receive.fsckObjects block them before the damage
spreads.
Note that the fsck check is always on, even for systems
without core.protectNTFS set. This is technically more
restrictive than we need to be, as a set of users on ext4
could happily use these odd filenames without caring about
NTFS.
However, on balance, it's helpful for all servers to block
these (because the paths can be used for mischief, and
servers which bother to fsck would want to stop the spread
whether they are on NTFS themselves or not), and hardly
anybody will be affected (because the blocked names are
variants of .git or git~1, meaning mischief is almost
certainly what the tree author had in mind).
Ideally these would be controlled by a separate
"fsck.protectNTFS" flag. However, it would be much nicer to
be able to enable/disable _any_ fsck flag individually, and
any scheme we choose should match such a system. Given the
likelihood of anybody using such a path in practice, it is
not unreasonable to wait until such a system materializes.
