Junio C Hamano bdab1bca53 Merge branch 'jc/ignore-sigpipe-while-running-hooks'
pre- and post-receive hooks are no longer required to read all
their inputs.

* jc/ignore-sigpipe-while-running-hooks:
  receive-pack: allow hooks to ignore its standard input stream
2014-09-26 14:39:44 -07:00
Junio C Hamano ec7dbd145b receive-pack: allow hooks to ignore its standard input stream
The pre-receive and post-receive hooks were designed to be an
improvement over old style update and post-update hooks, which take
the update information on their command line and are limited by the
command line length limit.  The same information is fed from the
standard input to pre/post-receive hooks instead to lift this
limitation.  It has been mandatory for these new style hooks to
consume the update information fully from the standard input stream.
Otherwise, they would risk killing the receive-pack process via
SIGPIPE.

If a hook does not want to look at all the information, it is easy
to send its standard input to /dev/null (perhaps a niche use of hook
might need to know only the fact that a push was made, without
having to know what objects have been pushed to update which refs),
and this has already been done by existing hooks that are written
carefully.

However, because there is no good way to consistently fail hooks
that do not consume the input fully (a small push may result in a
short update record that may fit within the pipe buffer, to which
the receive-pack process may manage to write before the hook has a
chance to exit without reading anything, which will not result in a
death-by-SIGPIPE of receive-pack), it can lead to a hard to diagnose
"once in a blue moon" phantom failure.

Lift this "hooks must consume their input fully" mandate.  A mandate
that is not enforced strictly is not helping us to catch mistakes in
hooks.  If a hook has a good reason to decide the outcome of its
operation without reading the information we feed it, let it do so
as it pleases.

Ronnie Sahlberg 6629ea2d4a receive-pack.c: use a reference transaction for updating the refs
Wrap all the ref updates inside a transaction.

In the new API there is no distinction between failure to lock and
failure to write a ref.  Both can be permanent (e.g., a ref
"refs/heads/topic" is blocking creation of the lock file
"refs/heads/topic/1.lock") or transient (e.g., file system full) and
there's no clear difference in how the client should respond, so
replace the two statuses "failed to lock" and "failed to write" with
a single status "failed to update ref".  In both cases a more
detailed message is sent by sideband to diagnose the problem.

Example, before:

 error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic'
 remote: error: failed to lock refs/heads/topic
 To foo
  ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to lock)

After:

 error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic'
 remote: error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/heads/topic'.
 To foo
  ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to update ref)

Karsten Blees 6aa3085702 trace: improve trace performance
The trace API currently rechecks the environment variable and reopens the
trace file on every API call. This has the ugly side effect that errors
(e.g. file cannot be opened, or the user specified a relative path) are
also reported on every call. Performance can be improved by about factor
three by remembering the environment state and keeping the file open.

Replace the 'const char *key' parameter in the API with a pointer to a
'struct trace_key' that bundles the environment variable name with
additional, trace-internal state. Change the call sites of these APIs to
use a static 'struct trace_key' instead of a string constant.

In trace.c::get_trace_fd(), save and reuse the file descriptor in 'struct
trace_key'.

Add a 'trace_disable()' API, so that packet_trace() can cleanly disable
tracing when it encounters packed data (instead of using unsetenv()).

Jeff King 0179c945fc shallow: automatically clean up shallow tempfiles
We sometimes write tempfiles of the form "shallow_XXXXXX"
during fetch/push operations with shallow repositories.
Under normal circumstances, we clean up the result when we
are done. However, we do no take steps to clean up after
ourselves when we exit due to die() or signal death.

This patch teaches the tempfile creation code to register
handlers to clean up after ourselves. To handle this, we
change the ownership semantics of the filename returned by
setup_temporary_shallow. It now keeps a copy of the filename
itself, and returns only a const pointer to it.

We can also do away with explicit tempfile removal in the
callers. They all exit not long after finishing with the
file, so they can rely on the auto-cleanup, simplifying the
code.

Note that we keep things simple and maintain only a single
filename to be cleaned. This is sufficient for the current
caller, but we future-proof it with a die("BUG").

Ramsay Jones feefdf62c1 shallow: remove unused code
Commit 58babfff ("shallow.c: the 8 steps to select new commits for
.git/shallow", 05-12-2013) added a function to implement step 5 of
the quoted eight steps, namely 'remove_nonexistent_ours_in_pack()'.
This function implements an optional optimization step in the new
shallow commit selection algorithm. However, this function has no
callers. (The commented out call sites would need to change, in
order to provide information required by the function.)

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 0a1bc12b6e receive-pack: allow pushes that update .git/shallow
The basic 8 steps to update .git/shallow does not fully apply here
because the user may choose to accept just a few refs (while fetch
always accepts all refs). The steps are modified a bit.

1-6. same as before. After calling assign_shallow_commits_to_refs at
   step 6, each shallow commit has a bitmap that marks all refs that
   require it.

7. mark all "ours" shallow commits that are reachable from any
   refs. We will need to do the original step 7 on them later.

8. go over all shallow commit bitmaps, mark refs that require new
   shallow commits.

9. setup a strict temporary shallow file to plug all the holes, even
   if it may cut some of our history short. This file is used by all
   hooks. The hooks could use --shallow-file=$GIT_DIR/shallow to
   overcome this and reach everything in current repo.

10. go over the new refs one by one. For each ref, do the reachability
   test if it needs a shallow commit on the list from step 7. Remove
   it if it's reachable from our refs. Gather all required shallow
   commits, run check_everything_connected() with the new ref, then
   install them to .git/shallow.

This mode is disabled by default and can be turned on with
receive.shallowupdate

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy ad491366de make the sender advertise shallow commits to the receiver
If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow
repository, shallow commits (*) will be sent after the ref
advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has
the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for
the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary.

This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow
repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as
today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and
upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and
can make use of this information.

The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the
following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary.

upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if
it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no
shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the
cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it.

Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on
smart-http comes later separately.

(*) A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision
    walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the
    revision walker from going out of bound because there is no
    guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy f7c815c3ee push: respect --no-thin
- From the beginning of push.c in 755225d, 2006-04-29, "thin" option
  was enabled by default but could be turned off with --no-thin.

- Then Shawn changed the default to 0 in favor of saving server
  resources in a4503a1, 2007-09-09. --no-thin worked great.

- One day later, in 9b28851 Daniel extracted some code from push.c to
  create transport.c. He (probably accidentally) flipped the default
  value from 0 to 1 in transport_get().

From then on --no-thin is effectively no-op because git-push still
expects the default value to be false and only calls
transport_set_option() when "thin" variable in push.c is true (which
is unnecessary). Correct the code to respect --no-thin by calling
transport_set_option() in both cases.

receive-pack learns about --reject-thin-pack-for-testing option,
which only is for testing purposes, hence no document update.

Junio C Hamano 47a5918536 cache.h: move remote/connect API out of it
The definition of "struct ref" in "cache.h", a header file so
central to the system, always confused me.  This structure is not
about the local ref used by sha1-name API to name local objects.

It is what refspecs are expanded into, after finding out what refs
the other side has, to define what refs are updated after object
transfer succeeds to what values.  It belongs to "remote.h" together
with "struct refspec".

While we are at it, also move the types and functions related to the

When receive-pack detects error in the pack header it received in
order to decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to run, it
returned without closing the error stream, which led to a hang
sideband thread.

Jeff King 49ecfa13fe receive-pack: close sideband fd on early pack errors
Since commit a22e6f8 (receive-pack: send pack-processing
stderr over sideband, 2012-09-21), receive-pack will start
an async sideband thread to copy the stderr from our
index-pack or unpack-objects child to the client. We hand
the thread's input descriptor to unpack(), which puts it in
the "err" member of the "struct child_process".

After unpack() returns, we use finish_async() to reap the
sideband thread. The thread is only ready to die when it
gets EOF on its pipe, which is connected to the err
descriptor. So we expect all of the write ends of that pipe
to be closed as part of unpack().

Normally, this works fine. After start_command forks, it
closes the parent copy of the descriptor. Then once the
child exits (whether it was successful or not), that closes
the only remaining writer.

However, there is one code-path in unpack() that does not
handle this. Before we decide which of unpack-objects or
index-pack to use, we read the pack header ourselves to see
how many objects it contains. If there is an error here, we
exit without running either sub-command, the pipe descriptor
remains open, and we are in a deadlock, waiting for the
sideband thread to die (which is in turn waiting for us to
close the pipe).

We can fix this by making sure that unpack() always closes
the pipe before returning.

Jeff King 74543a0423 pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static buffer
Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a
static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary
binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine
in practice, because:

  1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref
     name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000
     characters.

  2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself
     to 1000 byte packets.

However, the only limit given in the protocol specification
in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is
LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in
pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write,
not as a specific limit for readers.

This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to
LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a
packet where this makes a difference, there are two good
reasons to do this:

  1. Other git implementations may have followed
     protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We
     don't bump into it in practice because it would involve
     very long ref names.

  2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day.
     Since packets are transferred before any capabilities,
     it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible
     way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can
     handle, eventually older versions of git will be
     obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the
     writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this
     anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the
     clock ticking now.

Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX
would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read
into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single
static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap
this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just
use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the
static storage.  That covers most of the cases, and the
remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX
buffers.

Jeff King 819b929d33 pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlines
The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated
by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is
short, we end up doing it in a lot of places.

This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the
trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline
chomping code.

As a result, some call-sites which are not reading
line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles
alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to
the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all
of the existing callsites.

Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not
change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of
new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently
introducing an incompatibility.  However, since a later
patch in this series will change the signature, such a
commit would have to be merged directly into this commit,
not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the
issue.

This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of
behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner
case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been
able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000")
and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line
to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically,
even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says
we must not; it also says that implementations should not
send an empty pkt-line.

By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the
caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n")
the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like
a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither
empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols
(at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who
are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling
packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to
care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this
patch.  The right place to tighten would be to stop treating
empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not
make doing so any harder.

Jeff King cdf4fb8e33 pkt-line: drop safe_write function
This is just write_or_die by another name. The one
distinction is that write_or_die will treat EPIPE specially
by suppressing error messages. That's fine, as we die by

Junio C Hamano daebaa7813 upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchies
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.

Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable.  Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable.  As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.

Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).

Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.

An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected.  This
is not a new restriction.  To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs.  I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the
result to point at this commit".  The receiving end will apply the
compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with
"Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there
is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to
a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good
default.

Aaron Schrab 5a7da2dca1 hooks: Add function to check if a hook exists
Create find_hook() function to determine if a given hook exists and is
executable.  If it is, the path to the script will be returned,
otherwise NULL is returned.

This encapsulates the tests that are used to check for the existence of
a hook in one place, making it easier to modify those checks if that is
found to be necessary.  This also makes it simple for places that can
use a hook to check if a hook exists before doing, possibly lengthy,
setup work which would be pointless if no such hook is present.

The returned value is left as a static value from get_pathname() rather
than a duplicate because it is anticipated that the return value will
either be used as a boolean, immediately added to an argv_array list
which would result in it being duplicated at that point, or used to
actually run the command without much intervening work.  Callers which
need to hold onto the returned value for a longer time are expected to
duplicate the return value themselves.

  fatal: [some message from index-pack]
  error: unpack failed: index-pack abnormal exit

ugly. Let's turn the final line into just:

Jeff King a22e6f8547 receive-pack: send pack-processing stderr over sideband
Receive-pack invokes either unpack-objects or index-pack to
handle the incoming pack. However, we do not redirect the
stderr of the sub-processes at all, so it is never seen by
the client. From the initial thread adding sideband support,
which is here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/139471

it is clear that some messages are specifically kept off the
sideband (with the assumption that they are of interest only
to an administrator, not the client). The stderr of the
subprocesses is mentioned in the thread, but it's unclear if
they are included in that group, or were simply forgotten.

However, there are a few good reasons to show them to the
client:

  1. In many cases, they are directly about the incoming
     packfile (e.g., fsck warnings with --strict, corruption
     in the packfile, etc). Without these messages, the
     client just gets "unpacker error" with no extra useful
     diagnosis.

  2. No matter what the cause, we are probably better off
     showing the errors to the client. If the client and the
     server admin are not the same entity, it is probably
     much easier for the client to cut-and-paste the errors
     they see than for the admin to try to dig them out of a
     log and correlate them with a particular session.

  3. Users of the ssh transport typically already see these
     stderr messages, as the remote's stderr is copied
     literally by ssh. This brings other transports (http,
     and push-over-git if you are crazy enough to enable it)
     more in line with ssh. As a bonus for ssh users,
     because the messages are now fed through the sideband
     and printed by the local git, they will have "remote:"
     prepended and be properly interleaved with any local
     output to stderr.

Jeff King 59bfdfb82a receive-pack: redirect unpack-objects stdout to /dev/null
The unpack-objects command should not generally produce any
output on stdout. However, if it's given extra input after
the packfile, it will spew the remainder to stdout. When
called by receive-pack, this means we will break protocol,
since our stdout is connected to the remote send-pack.

Jeff King ff5effdf45 include agent identifier in capability string
Instead of having the client advertise a particular version
number in the git protocol, we have managed extensions and
backwards compatibility by having clients and servers
advertise capabilities that they support. This is far more
robust than having each side consult a table of
known versions, and provides sufficient information for the
protocol interaction to complete.

However, it does not allow servers to keep statistics on
which client versions are being used. This information is
not necessary to complete the network request (the
capabilities provide enough information for that), but it
may be helpful to conduct a general survey of client
versions in use.

We already send the client version in the user-agent header
for http requests; adding it here allows us to gather
similar statistics for non-http requests.

Receive runs rev-list --verify-objects in order to detect missing
objects. However, such errors are ignored and overridden later.
Instead, consequently ignore all update commands for which an error has
already been detected.

Some tests in t5504 are obsoleted by this change, because invalid
objects are detected even if fsck is not enabled. Instead, they now test
for different error messages depending on whether or not fsck is turned
on. A better fix would be to force a corruption that will be detected by
fsck but not by rev-list.

Commit 90a6c7d4 (propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-pack)
introduced the --quiet option to receive-pack and made send-pack
pass that option. Older versions of receive-pack do not recognize
the option, however, and terminate immediately. The commit was
therefore reverted.

This change instead adds a 'quiet' capability to receive-pack,
which is a backwards compatible.

In addition, this fixes push --quiet via http: A verbosity of 0

Junio C Hamano f47182c852 server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully
We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol
extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a
substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have
recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later
add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward.

Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the
clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace
letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters
e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces,
but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).
