* ps/do-not-trust-commit-graph-blindly-for-existence:
commit: detect commits that exist in commit-graph but not in the ODB
commit-graph: introduce envvar to disable commit existence checks
Commit graphs can become stale and contain references to commits that do
not exist in the object database anymore. Theoretically, this can lead
to a scenario where we are able to successfully look up any such commit
via the commit graph even though such a lookup would fail if done via
the object database directly.
As the commit graph is mostly intended as a sort of cache to speed up
parsing of commits we do not want to have diverging behaviour in a
repository with and a repository without commit graphs, no matter
whether they are stale or not. As commits are otherwise immutable, the
only thing that we really need to care about is thus the presence or
absence of a commit.
To address potentially stale commit data that may exist in the graph,
our `lookup_commit_in_graph()` function will check for the commit's
existence in both the commit graph, but also in the object database. So
even if we were able to look up the commit's data in the graph, we would
still pretend as if the commit didn't exist if it is missing in the
object database.
We don't have the same safety net in `parse_commit_in_graph_one()`
though. This function is mostly used internally in "commit-graph.c"
itself to validate the commit graph, and this usage is fine. We do
expose its functionality via `parse_commit_in_graph()` though, which
gets called by `repo_parse_commit_internal()`, and that function is in
turn used in many places in our codebase.
For all I can see this function is never used to directly turn an object
ID into a commit object without additional safety checks before or after
this lookup. What it is being used for though is to walk history via the
parent chain of commits. So when commits in the parent chain of a graph
walk are missing it is possible that we wouldn't notice if that missing
commit was part of the commit graph. Thus, a query like `git rev-parse
HEAD~2` can succeed even if the intermittent commit is missing.
It's unclear whether there are additional ways in which such stale
commit graphs can lead to problems. In any case, it feels like this is a
bigger bug waiting to happen when we gain additional direct or indirect
callers of `repo_parse_commit_internal()`. So let's fix the inconsistent
behaviour by checking for object existence via the object database, as
well.
This check of course comes with a performance penalty. The following
benchmarks have been executed in a clone of linux.git with stable tags
added:
Benchmark 1: git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master)

git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master) ran
1.32 ± 0.02 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency)

We look at a ~30% regression in general, but in general we're still a
whole lot faster than without the commit graph. To counteract this, the
new check can be turned off with the `GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA` envvar.

Our `lookup_commit_in_graph()` helper tries to look up commits from the
commit graph and, if it doesn't exist there, falls back to parsing it
from the object database instead. This is intended to speed up the
lookup of any such commit that exists in the database. There is an edge
case though where the commit exists in the graph, but not in the object
database. To avoid returning such stale commits the helper function thus
double checks that any such commit parsed from the graph also exists in
the object database. This makes the function safe to use even when
commit graphs aren't updated regularly.
We're about to introduce the same pattern into other parts of our code
base though, namely `repo_parse_commit_internal()`. Here the extra
sanity check is a bit of a tougher sell: `lookup_commit_in_graph()` was
a newly introduced helper, and as such there was no performance hit by
adding this sanity check. If we added `repo_parse_commit_internal()`
with that sanity check right from the beginning as well, this would
probably never have been an issue to begin with. But by retrofitting it
with this sanity check now we do add a performance regression to
preexisting code, and thus there is a desire to avoid this or at least
give an escape hatch.
In practice, there is no inherent reason why either of those functions
should have the sanity check whereas the other one does not: either both
of them are able to detect this issue or none of them should be. This
also means that the default of whether we do the check should likely be
the same for both. To err on the side of caution, we thus rather want to
make `repo_parse_commit_internal()` stricter than to loosen the checks
that we already have in `lookup_commit_in_graph()`.
The escape hatch is added in the form of a new GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA
environment variable that mirrors GIT_REF_PARANOIA. If enabled, which is
the default, we will double check that commits looked up in the commit
graph via `lookup_commit_in_graph()` also exist in the object database.
This same check will also be added in `repo_parse_commit_internal()`.

The test t5319.88 ("reader bounds-checks large offset table") can fail
intermittently. The failure mode looks like this:
1. An earlier test sets up "objects64", a directory that can be used
to produce a midx with a corrupted large-offsets table. To get the
large offsets, it corrupts the normal ".idx" file to have a fake
large offset, and then builds a midx from that.
That midx now has a large offset table, which is what we want. But
we also have a .idx on disk that has a corrupted entry. We'll call
the object with the corrupted large-offset "X".
2. In t5319.88, we further corrupt the midx by reducing the size of
the large-offset chunk (because our goal is to make sure we do not
do an out-of-bounds read on it).
3. We then enumerate all of the objects with "cat-file --batch-check
--batch-all-objects", expecting to see a complaint when we try to
show object X. We use --batch-all-objects because our objects64
repo doesn't actually have any refs (but if we check them all, one
of them will be the failing one). The default batch-check format
includes %(objecttype) and %(objectsize), both of which require us
to access the actual pack data (and thus requires looking at the
offset).
4a. Usually, this succeeds. We try to output object X, do a lookup via
the midx for the type/size lookup, and run into the corrupt
large-offset table.
4b. But sometimes we hit a different error. If another object points
to X as a delta base, then trying to find the type of that object
requires walking the delta chain to the base entry (since only the
base has the concrete type; deltas themselves are either OFS_DELTA
or REF_DELTA).
Normally this would not require separate offset lookups at all, as
deltas are usually stored as OFS_DELTA, specifying the relative
offset to the base. But the corrupt idx created in step 1 is done
directly with "git pack-objects" and does not pass the
--delta-base-offset option, meaning we have REF_DELTA entries!
Those do have to consult an index to find the location of the base
object, and they use the pack .idx to do this. The same pack .idx
that we know is corrupted from step 1!
Git does notice the error, but it does so by seeing the corrupt
.idx file, not the corrupt midx file, and the error it reports is
different, causing the test to fail.
The set of objects created in the test is deterministic. But the delta
selection seems not to be (which is not too surprising, as it is
multi-threaded). I have seen the failure in Windows CI but haven't
reproduced it locally (not even with --stress). Re-running a failed
Windows CI job tends to work. But when I download and examine the trash
directory from a failed run, it shows a different set of deltas than I
get locally. But the exact source of non-determinism isn't that
important; our test should be robust against any order.
There are a few options to fix this:
a. It would be OK for the "objects64" setup to "unbreak" the .idx file
after generating the midx. But then it would be hard for subsequent
tests to reuse it, since it is the corrupted idx that forces the
midx to have a large offset table.
b. The "objects64" setup could use --delta-base-offset. This would fix
our problem, but earlier tests have many hard-coded offsets. Using
OFS_DELTA would change the locations of objects in the pack (this
might even be OK because I think most of the offsets are within the
.idx file, but it seems brittle and I'm afraid to touch it).
c. Our cat-file output is in oid order by default. Since we store
bases before deltas, if we went in pack order (using the
"--unordered" flag), we'd always see our corrupt X before any delta
which depends on it. But using "--unordered" means we skip the midx
entirely. That makes sense, since it is just enumerating all of
the packs, using the offsets found in their .idx files directly.
So it doesn't work for our test.
d. We could ask directly about object X, rather than enumerating all
of them. But that requires further hard-coding of the oid (both
sha1 and sha256) of object X. I'd prefer not to introduce more
brittleness.
e. We can use a --batch-check format that looks at the pack data, but
doesn't have to chase deltas. The problem in this case is
%(objecttype), which has to walk to the base. But %(objectsize)
does not; we can get the value directly from the delta itself.
Another option would be %(deltabase), where we report the REF_DELTA
name but don't look at its data.
I've gone with option (e) here. It's kind of subtle, but it's simple and
has no side effects.

The index stores file sizes using a uint32_t. This causes any file
that is a multiple of 2^32 to have a cached file size of zero.
Zero is a special value used by racily clean. This causes git to
rehash every file that is a multiple of 2^32 every time git status
or git commit is run.
This patch mitigates the problem by making all files that are a
multiple of 2^32 appear to have a size of 1<<31 instead of zero.
The value of 1<<31 is chosen to keep it as far away from zero
as possible to help prevent things getting mixed up with unpatched
versions of git.
An example would be to have a 2^32 sized file in the index of
patched git. Patched git would save the file as 2^31 in the cache.
An unpatched git would very much see the file has changed in size
and force it to rehash the file, which is safe. The file would
have to grow or shrink by exactly 2^31 and retain all of its
ctime, mtime, and other attributes for old git to not notice
the change.
This patch does not change the behavior of any file that is not
an exact multiple of 2^32.

When mostly the same set of options are to be used to perform

want to be created and used by copying from the same template
instance. We saw such a use recently in "git merge-tree".
Let's make the pattern official by introducing copy_merge_options()
as a supported way to make a copy of the structure, and also give
clear_merge_options() to release any resources held by a copied

Some references are special in the context of worktrees as they are
considered to be per-worktree instead of shared across all of the
worktrees. Most importantly, this includes "refs/worktree/" that have
explicitly been designed such that users can create per-woorktree refs.
But there are also special references that have an associated meaning
like "refs/bisect/", which is used to track state of git-bisect(1).
These special per-worktree references are documented in git-worktree(1),
but one instance is missing. In a9be29c981 (sequencer: make refs
generated by the `label` command worktree-local, 2018-04-25), we have
converted "refs/rewritten/" to be a per-worktree reference as well.
These references are used by our sequencer infrastructure to generate
labels for rebased commits. So in order to allow for multiple concurrent
rebases to happen in different worktrees, these references need to be
tracked per worktree.
We forgot to update our documentation to mention these new per-worktree
references, which is fixed by this patch.

The BIDX chunk tells us the offsets at which each commit's Bloom filters
can be found in the BDAT chunk. We compute the length of each filter by
checking the offsets of neighbors and subtracting them.
If the offsets are out of order, then we'll get a negative length, which
we then store as a very large unsigned value. This can cause us to read
out-of-bounds memory, as we access the hash data modulo "filter->len *
BITS_PER_WORD".
We can easily detect this case when loading the individual filters.

We load the bloom_filter_indexes chunk using pair_chunk(), so we have no
idea how big it is. This can lead to out-of-bounds reads if it is
smaller than expected, since we index it based on the number of commits
found elsewhere in the graph file.
We can check the chunk size up front, like we do for CDAT and other
chunks with one fixed-size record per commit.
The test case demonstrates the problem. It actually won't segfault,
because we end up reading random data from the follow-on chunk (BDAT in
this case), and the bounds checks added in the previous patch complain.
But this is by no means assured, and you can craft a commit-graph file
with BIDX at the end (or a smaller BDAT) that does segfault.

When loading Bloom filters from a commit-graph file, we use the offset
values in the BIDX chunk to index into the memory mapped for the BDAT
chunk. But since we don't record how big the BDAT chunk is, we just
trust that the BIDX offsets won't cause us to read outside of the chunk
memory. A corrupted or malicious commit-graph file will cause us to
segfault (in practice this isn't a very interesting attack, since
commit-graph files are local-only, and the worst case is an
out-of-bounds read).
We can't fix this by checking the chunk size during parsing, since the
data in the BDAT chunk doesn't have a fixed size (that's why we need the
BIDX in the first place). So we'll fix it in two parts:
1. Record the BDAT chunk size during parsing, and then later check
that the BIDX offsets we look up are within bounds.
2. Because the offsets are relative to the end of the BDAT header, we
must also make sure that the BDAT chunk is at least as large as the
expected header size. Otherwise, we overflow when trying to move
past the header, even for an offset of "0". We can check this
early, during the parsing stage.
The error messages are rather verbose, but since this is not something
you'd expect to see outside of severe bugs or corruption, it makes sense
to err on the side of too many details. Sadly we can't mention the
filename during the chunk-parsing stage, as we haven't set g->filename
at this point, nor passed it down through the stack.

If the generation entry in a commit-graph doesn't fit, we instead insert
an offset into a generation overflow chunk. But since we don't record
the size of the chunk, we may read outside the chunk if the offset we
find on disk is malicious or corrupted.
We can't check the size of the chunk up-front; it will vary based on how
many entries need overflow. So instead, we'll do a bounds-check before
accessing the chunk memory. Unfortunately there is no error-return from
this function, so we'll just have to die(), which is what it does for
other forms of corruption.
As with other cases, we can drop the st_mult() call, since we know our
bounds-checked value will fit within a size_t.
Before this patch, the test here actually "works" because we read
garbage data from the next chunk. And since that garbage data happens
not to provide a generation number which changes the output, it appears
to work. We could construct a case that actually segfaults or produces
wrong output, but it would be a bit tricky. For our purposes its
sufficient to check that we've detected the bounds error.

We neither check nor record the size of the generations chunk we parse
from a commit-graph file. This should have one uint32_t for each commit
in the file; if it is smaller (due to corruption, etc), we may read
outside the mapped memory.
The included test segfaults without this patch, as it shrinks the size
considerably (and the chunk is near the end of the file, so we read off
the end of the array rather than accidentally reading another chunk).
We can fix this by checking the size up front (like we do for other
fixed-size chunks, like CDAT).

When we are loading a commit-graph chain, we check that each slice of the
chain points to the appropriate set of base graphs via its BASE chunk.
But since we don't record the size of the chunk, we may access
out-of-bounds memory if the file is corrupted.
Since we know the number of entries we expect to find (based on the
position within the commit-graph-chain file), we can just check the size
up front.
In theory this would also let us drop the st_mult() call a few lines
later when we actually access the memory, since we know that the
computed offset will fit in a size_t. But because the operands
"g->hash_len" and "n" have types "unsigned char" and "int", we'd have to
cast to size_t first. Leaving the st_mult() does that cast, and makes it
more obvious that we don't have an overflow problem.
Note that the test does not actually segfault before this patch, since
it just reads garbage from the chunk after BASE (and indeed, it even
rejects the file because that garbage does not have the expected hash
value). You could construct a file with BASE at the end that did
segfault, but corrupting the existing one is easy, and we can check
stderr for the expected message.

If an entry in a commit-graph file has more than 2 parents, the
fixed-size parent fields instead point to an offset within an "extra
edges" chunk. We blindly follow these, assuming that the chunk is
present and sufficiently large; this can lead to an out-of-bounds read
for a corrupt or malicious file.
We can fix this by recording the size of the chunk and adding a
bounds-check in fill_commit_in_graph(). There are a few tricky bits:
1. We'll switch from working with a pointer to an offset. This makes
some corner cases just fall out naturally:
a. If we did not find an EDGE chunk at all, our size will
correctly be zero (so everything is "out of bounds").
b. Comparing "size / 4" lets us make sure we have at least 4 bytes
to read, and we never compute a pointer more than one element
past the end of the array (computing a larger pointer is
probably OK in practice, but is technically undefined
behavior).
c. The current code casts to "uint32_t *". Replacing it with an
offset avoids any comparison between different types of pointer
(since the chunk is stored as "unsigned char *").
2. This is the first case in which fill_commit_in_graph() may return
anything but success. We need to make sure to roll back the
"parsed" flag (and any parents we might have added before running
out of buffer) so that the caller can cleanly fall back to
loading the commit object itself.
It's a little non-trivial to do this, and we might benefit from
factoring it out. But we can wait on that until we actually see a
second case where we return an error.
As a bonus, this lets us drop the st_mult() call. Since we've already
done a bounds check, we know there won't be any integer overflow (it
would imply our buffer is larger than a size_t can hold).
The included test does not actually segfault before this patch (though
you could construct a case where it does). Instead, it reads garbage
from the next chunk which results in it complaining about a bogus parent
id. This is sufficient for our needs, though (we care that the fallback
succeeds, and that stderr mentions the out-of-bounds read).
