"git apply" cannot diagnose a patch corruption when the breakage is
to mark the length of the hunk shorter than it really is on the
hunk header line "@@ -l,k +m,n @@"; one special case it could is
when the hunk becomes no-op (e.g. k == n == 2 for two-line context
patch output), and it learned how to do so.

A hunk like this in a hand-edited patch without correctly adjusting

at the end of the input does not have a good way for us to diagnose
it as a corrupt patch. We just read two context lines and discard
the remainder as cruft, which we must do in order to ignore the
e-mail footer. Notice that the patch does not change anything and
signal an error.
Note that this fix will not help if the hand-edited hunk header were
"@@ -660,3, +660,2" to include the removal. We would just remove
the old text without adding the new one, and treat "+ some new text"
and everything after that line as trailing cruft. So it is dubious
that this patch alone would help very much in practice, but it may
be better than nothing.

Because Git tracks symbolic links as symbolic links, a path that
has a symbolic link in its leading part (e.g. path/to/dir/file,
where path/to/dir is a symbolic link to somewhere else, be it
inside or outside the working tree) can never appear in a patch
that validly applies, unless the same patch first removes the
symbolic link to allow a directory to be created there.
Detect and reject such a patch.
Things to note:
- Unfortunately, we cannot reuse the has_symlink_leading_path()
from dir.c, as that is only about the working tree, but "git
apply" can be told to apply the patch only to the index or to
both the index and to the working tree.
- We cannot directly use has_symlink_leading_path() even when we
are applying only to the working tree, as an early patch of a
valid input may remove a symbolic link path/to/dir and then a
later patch of the input may create a path path/to/dir/file, but
"git apply" first checks the input without touching either the
index or the working tree. The leading symbolic link check must
be done on the interim result we compute in-core (i.e. after the
first patch, there is no path/to/dir symbolic link and it is
perfectly valid to create path/to/dir/file).
Similarly, when an input creates a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then creates a file path/to/dir/file, we need to flag it as an
error without actually creating path/to/dir symbolic link in the
filesystem.
Instead, for any patch in the input that leaves a path (i.e. a non
deletion) in the result, we check all leading paths against the
resulting tree that the patch would create by inspecting all the
patches in the input and then the target of patch application
(either the index or the working tree).
This way, we catch a mischief or a mistake to add a symbolic link
path/to/dir and a file path/to/dir/file at the same time, while
allowing a valid patch that removes a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then adds a file path/to/dir/file.

We should reject a patch, whether it renames/copies dir/file to
elsewhere with or without modificiation, or updates dir/file in
place, if "dir/" part is actually a symbolic link to elsewhere,
by making sure that the code to read the preimage does not read
from a path that is beyond a symbolic link.

We currently read the preimage to apply a patch from the index only
when the --cached option is given. Do so also when the command is
running under the --index option. With --index, the index entry and
the working tree file for a path that is involved in a patch must be
identical, so this should not affect the result, but by reading from
the index, we will get the protection to avoid reading an unintended
path beyond a symbolic link automatically.

By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a
Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when
"git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a
mistake (or a mischief). Git itself does not create such a patch,
unless the user bends over backwards and specifies a non-standard
prefix to "git diff" and friends.
When `git apply` is used as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass
the `--unsafe-paths` option to override this safety check. This
option has no effect when `--index` or `--cached` is in use.
The new test was stolen from Jeff King with slight enhancements.
Note that a few new tests for touching outside the working area by
following a symbolic link are still expected to fail at this step,
but will be fixed in later steps.

When the incoming patch has whitespace errors in a common context
line (i.e. a line that is expected to be found and is not modified
by the patch), "apply --whitespace=fix" corrects the whitespace
errors the line has, in addition to the whitespace error on a line
that is updated by the patch. However, we did not count and report
that we fixed whitespace errors on such lines.
[jc: This is iffy. What if the whitespace error has been fixed in
the target since the patch was written? A common context line we
see in the patch has errors, and it matches a line in the target
that has the errors already corrected, resulting in no change, which
we may not want to count after all. On the other hand, we are
reporting whitespace errors _in_ the incoming patch, so...]

Under --whitespace=fix option, match_fragment() function examines
the preimage (the common context and the removed lines in the patch)
and the file being patched and checks if they match after correcting
all whitespace errors. When they are found to match, the common
context lines in the preimage is replaced with the fixed copy,
because these lines will then be copied to the corresponding place
in the postimage by a later call to update_pre_post_images(). Lines
that are added in the postimage, under --whitespace=fix, have their
whitespace errors already fixed when apply_one_fragment() prepares
the preimage and the postimage, so in the end, application of the
patch can be done by replacing the block of text in the file being
patched that matched the preimage with what is in the postimage that
was updated by update_pre_post_images().
In the earlier days, fixing whitespace errors always resulted in
reduction of size, either collapsing runs of spaces in the indent to
a tab or removing the trailing whitespaces. These days, however,
some whitespace error fix results in extending the size.
250b3c6c (apply --whitespace=fix: avoid running over the postimage
buffer, 2013-03-22) tried to compute the final postimage size but
its math was flawed. It counted the size of the block of text in
the original being patched after fixing the whitespace errors on its
lines that correspond to the preimage. That number does not have
much to do with how big the final postimage would be.
Instead count (1) the added lines in the postimage, whose size is
the same as in the final patch result because their whitespace
errors have already been corrected, and (2) the fixed size of the
lines that are common.

"git apply --whitespace=fix" used to be able to assume that fixing
errors will always reduce the size by e.g. stripping whitespaces at
the end of lines or collapsing runs of spaces into tabs at the
beginning of lines. An update to accomodate fixes that lengthens
the result by e.g. expanding leading tabs into spaces were made long
time ago but the logic miscounted the necessary space after such
whitespace fixes, leading to either under-allocation or over-usage
of already allocated space.
Illustrate this with a runtime sanity-check to protect us from
future breakage. The test was stolen from Kyle McKay who helped
to identify the problem.

Whitespace breakages are checked while the patch is being parsed.
Disable them at the beginning of parse_chunk(), where each
individual patch is parsed, immediately after we learn the name of
the file the patch applies to and before we start parsing the diff
contained in the patch.
One may naively think that we should be able to not just skip the
whitespace checks but simply fast-forward to the next patch without
doing anything once use_patch() tells us that this patch is not
going to be used. But in reality we cannot really skip much of the
parsing in order to do such a "fast-forward", primarily because
parsing "@@ -k,l +m,n @@" lines and counting the input lines is how
we determine the boundaries of individual patches.

We parse each patchfile and find the name of the path the patch
applies to, and then use that name to consult the attribute system
to find the whitespace rules to be used, and also the target file
(either in the working tree or in the index) to replay the changes
against.
Unlike a Git-generated patch, a non-Git patch is taken to have the
pathnames relative to the current working directory. The names
found in such a patch are modified by prepending the prefix by the
prefix_patches() helper function introduced in 56185f49 (git-apply:
require -p<n> when working in a subdirectory., 2007-02-19).
However, this prefixing is done after the patch is fully parsed and
affects only what target files are patched. Because the attributes
are checked against the names found in the patch during the parsing,
not against the final pathname, the whitespace check that is done
during parsing ends up using attributes for a wrong path for non-Git
patches.
Fix this by doing the prefix much earlier, immediately after the
header part of each patch is parsed and we learn the name of the
path the patch affects.

When parsing "index" lines from a git-diff, we look for a
space followed by the mode. If we don't have a space, then
we set our pointer to the end-of-line. However, we don't
double-check that our end-of-line pointer is valid (e.g., if
we got a truncated diff input), which could lead to some
wrap-around pointer arithmetic.
In most cases this would probably get caught by our "40 <
len" check later in the function, but to be on the safe
side, let's just use strchrnul to treat end-of-string the
same as end-of-line.

A submodule diff generally has content like:
-Subproject commit [0-9a-f]{40}
+Subproject commit [0-9a-f]{40}
When we are using "git apply --index" with a submodule, we
first apply the textual diff, and then parse that result to
figure out the new sha1.
If the diff has bogus input like:
-Subproject commit 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
+bogus
we will parse the "bogus" portion. Our parser assumes that
the buffer starts with "Subproject commit", and blindly
skips past it using strlen(). This can cause us to read
random memory after the buffer.
This problem was unlikely to have come up in practice (since
it requires a malformed diff), and even when it did, we
likely noticed the problem anyway as the next operation was
to call get_sha1_hex on the random memory.
However, we can easily fix it by using skip_prefix to notice
the parsing error.
