c595016402 link_alt_odb_entries(): take (char *, len) rather than two pointers
Change link_alt_odb_entries() to take the length of the "alt"
parameter rather than a pointer to the end of the "alt" string.  This
is the more common calling convention and simplifies the code a tiny
bit.

6eac50d827 link_alt_odb_entries(): use string_list_split_in_place()
Change link_alt_odb_entry() to take a NUL-terminated string instead of
(char *, len).  Use string_list_split_in_place() rather than inline
code in link_alt_odb_entries().

This approach saves some code and also avoids the (probably harmless)
error of passing a non-NUL-terminated string to is_absolute_path().

cb2912c324 link_alt_odb_entry: fix read over array bounds reported by valgrind
pfxlen can be longer than the path in objdir when relative_base
contains the path to gits object directory.  Here we are interested
in checking if ent->base[] (the part that corresponds to .git/objects)
is the same string as objdir, and the code NUL-terminated ent->base[]
to

	LEADING PATH\0XX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\0

in preparation for these "duplicate check" step (before we return
from the function, the first NUL is turned into '/' so that we can
fill XX when probing for loose objects).  All we need to do is to
compare the string with the path to our object directory.

090ea12671 parse_object: avoid putting whole blob in core
Traditionally, all the callers of check_sha1_signature() first
called read_sha1_file() to prepare the whole object data in core,
and called this function.  The function is used to revalidate what
we read from the object database actually matches the object name we
used to ask for the data from the object database.

Update the API to allow callers to pass NULL as the object data, and
have the function read and hash the object data using streaming API
to recompute the object name, without having to hold everything in
core at the same time.  This is most useful in parse_object() that
parses a blob object, because this caller does not have to keep the
actual blob data around in memory after a "struct blob" is returned.

4f22b1015d do not stream large files to pack when filters are in use
Because git's object format requires us to specify the
number of bytes in the object in its header, we must know
the size before streaming a blob into the object database.
This is not a problem when adding a regular file, as we can
get the size from stat(). However, when filters are in use
(such as autocrlf, or the ident, filter, or eol
gitattributes), we have no idea what the ultimate size will
be.

The current code just punts on the whole issue and ignores
filter configuration entirely for files larger than
core.bigfilethreshold. This can generate confusing results
if you use filters for large binary files, as the filter
will suddenly stop working as the file goes over a certain
size.  Rather than try to handle unknown input sizes with
streaming, this patch just turns off the streaming
optimization when filters are in use.

This has a slight performance regression in a very specific
case: if you have autocrlf on, but no gitattributes, a large
binary file will avoid the streaming code path because we
don't know beforehand whether it will need conversion or
not. But if you are handling large binary files, you should
be marking them as such via attributes (or at least not
using autocrlf, and instead marking your text files as
such). And the flip side is that if you have a large
_non_-binary file, there is a correctness improvement;
before we did not apply the conversion at all.

The first half of the new t1051 script covers these failures
on input. The second half tests the matching output code
paths. These already work correctly, and do not need any
adjustment.

33e42de0d2 fsck: give accurate error message on empty loose object files
Since 3ba7a06552 (A loose object is not corrupt if it
cannot be read due to EMFILE), "git fsck" on a repository with an empty
loose object file complains with the error message

  fatal: failed to read object <sha1>: Invalid argument

This comes from a failure of mmap on this empty file, which sets errno to
EINVAL. Instead of calling xmmap on empty file, we display a clean error
message ourselves, and return a NULL pointer. The new message is

  error: object file .git/objects/09/<rest-of-sha1> is empty
  fatal: loose object <sha1> (stored in .git/objects/09/<rest-of-sha1>) is corrupt

The second line was already there before the regression in 3ba7a06552,
and the first is an additional message, that should help diagnosing the
problem for the user.

c01f51cc75 find_pack_entry(): do not keep packed_git pointer locally
Commit f7c22cc (always start looking up objects in the last used pack
first - 2007-05-30) introduce a static packed_git* pointer as an
optimization.  The kept pointer however may become invalid if
free_pack_by_name() happens to free that particular pack.

Current code base does not access packs after calling
free_pack_by_name() so it should not be a problem. Anyway, move the
pointer out so that free_pack_by_name() can reset it to avoid running
into troubles in future.

ab1900a36e Appease Sun Studio by renaming "tmpfile"
On Solaris the system headers define the "tmpfile" name, which'll
cause Git compiled with Sun Studio 12 Update 1 to whine about us
redefining the name:

    "builtin/index-pack.c", line 175: warning: name redefined by pragma redefine_extname declared static: tmpfile    (E_PRAGMA_REDEFINE_STATIC)

Just renaming the "tmpfile" variable to "tmp_file" in the relevant
places is the easiest way to fix this.

58a6a9cc43 downgrade "packfile cannot be accessed" errors to warnings
These can happen if another process simultaneously prunes a
pack. But that is not usually an error condition, because a
properly-running prune should have repacked the object into
a new pack. So we will notice that the pack has disappeared
unexpectedly, print a message, try other packs (possibly
after re-scanning the list of packs), and find it in the new
pack.

4c08018204 pack-objects: protect against disappearing packs
It's possible that while pack-objects is running, a
simultaneously running prune process might delete a pack
that we are interested in. Because we load the pack indices
early on, we know that the pack contains our item, but by
the time we try to open and map it, it is gone.

Since c715f78, we already protect against this in the normal
object access code path, but pack-objects accesses the packs
at a lower level.  In the normal access path, we call
find_pack_entry, which will call find_pack_entry_one on each
pack index, which does the actual lookup. If it gets a hit,
we will actually open and verify the validity of the
matching packfile (using c715f78's is_pack_valid). If we
can't open it, we'll issue a warning and pretend that we
didn't find it, causing us to go on to the next pack (or on
to loose objects).

Furthermore, we will cache the descriptor to the opened
packfile. Which means that later, when we actually try to
access the object, we are likely to still have that packfile
opened, and won't care if it has been unlinked from the
filesystem.

Notice the "likely" above. If there is another pack access
in the interim, and we run out of descriptors, we could
close the pack. And then a later attempt to access the
closed pack could fail (we'll try to re-open it, of course,
but it may have been deleted). In practice, this doesn't
happen because we tend to look up items and then access them
immediately.

Pack-objects does not follow this code path. Instead, it
accesses the packs at a much lower level, using
find_pack_entry_one directly. This means we skip the
is_pack_valid check, and may end up with the name of a
packfile, but no open descriptor.

We can add the same is_pack_valid check here. Unfortunately,
the access patterns of pack-objects are not quite as nice
for keeping lookup and object access together. We look up
each object as we find out about it, and the only later when
writing the packfile do we necessarily access it. Which
means that the opened packfile may be closed in the interim.

In practice, however, adding this check still has value, for
three reasons.

  1. If you have a reasonable number of packs and/or a
     reasonable file descriptor limit, you can keep all of
     your packs open simultaneously. If this is the case,
     then the race is impossible to trigger.

  2. Even if you can't keep all packs open at once, you
     may end up keeping the deleted one open (i.e., you may
     get lucky).

  3. The race window is shortened. You may notice early that
     the pack is gone, and not try to access it. Triggering
     the problem without this check means deleting the pack
     any time after we read the list of index files, but
     before we access the looked-up objects.  Triggering it
     with this check means deleting the pack means deleting
     the pack after we do a lookup (and successfully access
     the packfile), but before we access the object. Which
     is a smaller window.

e6baf4a1ae clone: clone from a repository with relative alternates
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:

 - If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
   command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
   command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.

 - An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
   stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
   directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
   the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
   relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
   repository.

This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

7f684a2aff Tolerate zlib deflation with window size < 32Kb
Git currently reports loose objects as 'corrupt' if they've been
deflated using a window size less than 32Kb, because the
experimental_loose_object() function doesn't recognise the header
byte as a zlib header. This patch makes the function tolerant of
all valid window sizes (15-bit to 8-bit) - but doesn't sacrifice
it's accuracy in distingushing the standard loose-object format
from the experimental (now abandoned) format.

On memory constrained systems zlib may use a much smaller window
size - working on Agit, I found that Android uses a 4KB window;
giving a header byte of 0x48, not 0x78. Consequently all loose
objects generated appear 'corrupt', which is why Agit is a read-only
Git client at this time - I don't want my client to generate Git
repos that other clients treat as broken :(

This patch makes Git tolerant of different deflate settings - it
might appear that it changes experimental_loose_object() to the point
where it could incorrectly identify the experimental format as the
standard one, but the two criteria (bitmask & checksum) can only
give a false result for an experimental object where both of the
following are true:

1) object size is exactly 8 bytes when uncompressed (bitmask)
2) [single-byte in-pack git type&size header] * 256
   + [1st byte of the following zlib header] % 31 = 0 (checksum)

As it happens, for all possible combinations of valid object type
(1-4) and window bits (0-7), the only time when the checksum will be
divisible by 31 is for 0x1838 - ie object type *1*, a Commit - which,
due the fields all Commit objects must contain, could never be as
small as 8 bytes in size.

Given this, the combination of the two criteria (bitmask & checksum)
always correctly determines the buffer format, and is more tolerant
than the previous version.

The alternative to this patch is simply removing support for the
experimental format, which I am also totally cool with.

5f44324d88 core: log offset pack data accesses happened
In a workload other than "git log" (without pathspec nor any option that
causes us to inspect trees and blobs), the recency pack order is said to
cause the access jump around quite a bit. Add a hook to allow us observe
how bad it is.

"git config core.logpackaccess /var/tmp/pal.txt" will give you the log
in the specified file.

ef49a7a012 zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a time
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.

But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.

In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.

Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

55bb5c9147 zlib: wrap deflate side of the API
Wrap deflateInit, deflate, and deflateEnd for everybody, and the sole use
of deflateInit2 in remote-curl.c to tell the library to use gzip header
and trailer in git_deflate_init_gzip().

There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the
status and act on it (i.e. die) for now, but we would probably want to
make inflate_end/deflate_end die when they ran out of memory and get
rid of the _gently() kind.

cc5c54e78b sha1_file.c: "legacy" is really the current format
Every time I look at the read-loose-object codepath, legacy_loose_object()
function makes my brain go through mental contortion. When we were playing
with the experimental loose object format, it may have made sense to call
the traditional format "legacy", in the hope that the experimental one
will some day replace it to become official, but it never happened.

This renames the function (and negates its return value) to detect if we
are looking at the experimental format, and move the code around in its
caller which used to do "if we are looing at legacy, do this special case,
otherwise the normal case is this". The codepath to read from the loose
objects in experimental format is the "unlikely" case.

Someday after Git 2.0, we should drop the support of this format.

3de89c9d42 verify-pack: use index-pack --verify
This finally gets rid of the inefficient verify-pack implementation that
walks objects in the packfile in their object name order and replaces it
with a call to index-pack --verify. As a side effect, it also removes
packed_object_info_detail() API which is rather expensive.

As this changes the way errors are reported (verify-pack used to rely on
the usual runtime error detection routine unpack_entry() to diagnose the
CRC errors in an entry in the *.idx file; index-pack --verify checks the
whole *.idx file in one go), update a test that expected the string "CRC"
to appear in the error message.

23c7df6bdd sha1_file: use the correct type (ssize_t, not size_t) for read-style function
Using an unsigned type, we would fail to detect a read error and then
proceed to try to write (size_t)-1 bytes.
