  tag: avoid NULL pointer arithmetic
2017-10-05 13:48:20 +09:00
René Scharfe 7099153e8d tag: avoid NULL pointer arithmetic
lookup_blob() etc. can return NULL if the referenced object isn't of the
expected type.  In theory it's wrong to reference the object member in
that case.  In practice it's OK because it's located at offset 0 for all
types, so the pointer arithmetic (NULL + 0) is optimized out by the
compiler.  The issue is reported by Clang's AddressSanitizer, though.

Avoid the ASan error by casting the results of the lookup functions to
struct object pointers.  That works fine with NULL pointers as well.  We
already rely on the object member being first in all object types in
other places in the code.

brian m. carlson bc83266abe Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_id
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,
lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take
struct object_id arguments.

Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function.  This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted.  Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a
struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *,
leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface.

parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

Johannes Schindelin dddbad728c timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.

As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Currently, Git's source code represents all timestamps as `unsigned
long`. In preparation for using a more appropriate data type, let's
introduce a symbol `parse_timestamp` (currently being defined to
`strtoul`) where appropriate, so that we can later easily switch to,
say, use `strtoull()` instead.

Jeff King eddda37144 convert strncpy to memcpy
strncpy is known to be a confusing function because of its
termination semantics.  These calls are all correct, but it
takes some examination to see why. In particular, every one
of them expects to copy up to the length limit, and then
makes some arrangement for terminating the result.

We can just use memcpy, along with noting explicitly how the
result is terminated (if it is not already obvious). That
should make it more clear to a reader that we are doing the
right thing.

Junio C Hamano d7c67668fe gpg-interface: move parse_signature() to where it should be
Our signed-tag objects set the standard format used by Git to store
GPG-signed payload (i.e. the payload followed by its detached
signature) [*1*], and it made sense to have a helper to find the
boundary between the payload and its signature in tag.c back then.

Newer code added later to parse other kinds of objects that learned
to use the same format to store GPG-signed payload (e.g. signed
commits), however, kept using the helper from the same location.

Move it to gpg-interface; the helper is no longer about signed tag,
but it is how our code and data interact with GPG.

Jeff King 8ff226a9d5 add object_as_type helper for casting objects
When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:

  1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
     one, allocate and return a new one.

  2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
     type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).

  3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
     call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.

We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.

Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.

Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:

  - for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
    pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
    thing.

  - for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
    (but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
    mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
    surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
    (which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
    sha1_object_info).

  - for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
    currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
    is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
    from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
    each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
    Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

Jeff King d36f51c13b move setting of object->type to alloc_* functions
The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism.  Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum.  This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).

In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).

We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.

This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.

Jeff King 90108a2441 upload-pack: avoid parsing tag destinations
When upload-pack advertises refs, it dereferences any tags
it sees, and shows the resulting sha1 to the client. It does
this by calling deref_tag. That function must load and parse
each tag object to find the sha1 of the tagged object.
However, it also ends up parsing the tagged object itself,
which is not strictly necessary for upload-pack's use.

Each tag produces two object loads (assuming it is not a
recursive tag), when it could get away with only a single
one. Dropping the second load halves the effort we spend.

The downside is that we are no longer verifying the
resulting object by loading it. In particular:

  1. We never cross-check the "type" field given in the tag
     object with the type of the pointed-to object.  If the
     tag says it points to a tag but doesn't, then we will
     keep peeling and realize the error.  If the tag says it
     points to a non-tag but actually points to a tag, we
     will stop peeling and just advertise the pointed-to
     tag.

  2. If we are missing the pointed-to object, we will not
     realize (because we never even look it up in the object
     db).

However, both of these are errors in the object database,
and both will be detected if a client actually requests the
broken objects in question. So we are simply pushing the
verification away from the advertising stage, and down to
the actual fetching stage.

On my test repo with 120K refs, this drops the time to
advertise the refs from ~3.2s to ~2.0s.

Junio C Hamano 2f47eae2a1 Split GPG interface into its own helper library
This mostly moves existing code from builtin/tag.c (for signing)
and builtin/verify-tag.c (for verifying) to a new gpg-interface.c
file to provide a more generic library interface.

 - sign_buffer() takes a payload strbuf, a signature strbuf, and a signing
   key, runs "gpg" to produce a detached signature for the payload, and
   appends it to the signature strbuf. The contents of a signed tag that
   concatenates the payload and the detached signature can be produced by
   giving the same strbuf as payload and signature strbuf.

 - verify_signed_buffer() takes a payload and a detached signature as
   <ptr, len> pairs, and runs "gpg --verify" to see if the payload matches
   the signature. It can optionally capture the output from GPG to allow
   the callers to pretty-print it in a way more suitable for their
   contexts.

"verify-tag" (aka "tag -v") used to save the whole tag contents as if it
is a detached signature, and fed gpg the payload part of the tag. It
relied on gpg to fail when the given tag is not signed but just is
annotated.  The updated run_gpg_verify() function detects the lack of
detached signature in the input, and errors out without bothering "gpg".

Linus Torvalds 100c5f3b0b Clean up object creation to use more common code
This replaces the fairly odd "created_object()" function that did _most_
of the object setup with a more complete "create_object()" function that
also has a more natural calling convention.

Nicolas Pitre 0ab179504a get rid of lookup_object_type()
This function is called only once in the whole source tree.  Let's move
its code inline instead, which is also in the spirit of removing as much
object type char arrays as possible (not that this patch does anything for
that but at least it is now a local matter).

Nicolas Pitre 21666f1aae convert object type handling from a string to a number
We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types
in the code: a string and a numerical value.  One of them is obviously
redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch
of strcmp() all over the place.

This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array
found in object reading code paths.  The patch is unfortunately large but
there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the
system.

Linus Torvalds 1974632c66 Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.
This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.

Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings"
entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different
integer enumeration.

Linus Torvalds 855419f764 Add specialized object allocator
This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic
objects.

This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and
extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the
alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed.

It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object
allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows
object usage as follows:

     blobs:   627629 (14710 kB)
     trees:  1119035 (34969 kB)
   commits:   196423  (8440 kB)
      tags:     1336    (46 kB)

and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory
footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit
faster too.

[ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage".
  The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects.

  Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final
  total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the
  object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put
  another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total
  memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10%
  of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes
  object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient).

  I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is
  just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree
  objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we
  don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and
  blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in
  the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly
  need to.

  So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that
  most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We
  don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair
  amount. ]

Linus Torvalds 885a86abe2 Shrink "struct object" a bit
This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.

In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.

Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.

This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.

There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.

Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

Junio C Hamano 8f1d2e6f49 [PATCH] Compilation: zero-length array declaration.
ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array
at the end of a structure, like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[]; /* more */
	};

GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";
unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90.

This declares such construct like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */
	};

and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and
empty for others.

If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able
to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the
command line of "make".
