69bbbe484b hash-object: use fsck for object checks
Since c879daa237 (Make hash-object more robust against malformed
objects, 2011-02-05), we've done some rudimentary checks against objects
we're about to write by running them through our usual parsers for
trees, commits, and tags.

These parsers catch some problems, but they are not nearly as careful as
the fsck functions (which make sense; the parsers are designed to be
fast and forgiving, bailing only when the input is unintelligible). We
are better off doing the more thorough fsck checks when writing objects.
Doing so at write time is much better than writing garbage only to find
out later (after building more history atop it!) that fsck complains
about it, or hosts with transfer.fsckObjects reject it.

This is obviously going to be a user-visible behavior change, and the
test changes earlier in this series show the scope of the impact. But
I'd argue that this is OK:

  - the documentation for hash-object is already vague about which
    checks we might do, saying that --literally will allow "any
    garbage[...] which might not otherwise pass standard object parsing
    or git-fsck checks". So we are already covered under the documented
    behavior.

  - users don't generally run hash-object anyway. There are a lot of
    spots in the tests that needed to be updated because creating
    garbage objects is something that Git's tests disproportionately do.

  - it's hard to imagine anyone thinking the new behavior is worse. Any
    object we reject would be a potential problem down the road for the
    user. And if they really want to create garbage, --literally is
    already the escape hatch they need.

Note that the change here is actually in index_mem(), which handles the
HASH_FORMAT_CHECK flag passed by hash-object. That flag is also used by
"git-replace --edit" to sanity-check the result. Covering that with more
thorough checks likewise seems like a good thing.

Besides being more thorough, there are a few other bonuses:

  - we get rid of some questionable stack allocations of object structs.
    These don't seem to currently cause any problems in practice, but
    they subtly violate some of the assumptions made by the rest of the
    code (e.g., the "struct commit" we put on the stack and
    zero-initialize will not have a proper index from
    alloc_comit_index().

  - likewise, those parsed object structs are the source of some small
    memory leaks

  - the resulting messages are much better. For example:

      [before]
      $ echo 'tree 123' | git hash-object -t commit --stdin
      error: bogus commit object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
      fatal: corrupt commit

      [after]
      $ echo 'tree 123' | git.compile hash-object -t commit --stdin
      error: object fails fsck: badTreeSha1: invalid 'tree' line format - bad sha1
      fatal: refusing to create malformed object

0ba05cf2e0 repo_read_object_file(): stop wrapping read_object_file_extended()
The only caller of read_object_file_extended() is the thin wrapper of
repo_read_object_file(). Instead of wrapping, let's just rename the
inner function and let people call it directly. This cleans up the
namespace and reduces confusion.

b25562e63f object-file: inline calls to read_object()
Since read_object() is these days just a thin wrapper around
oid_object_info_extended(), and since it only has two callers, let's
just inline those calls. This has a few positive outcomes:

  - it's a net reduction in source code lines

  - even though the callers end up with a few extra lines, they're now
    more flexible and can use object_info flags directly. So no more
    need to convert die_if_corrupt between parameter/flag, and we can
    ask for lookup replacement with a flag rather than doing it
    ourselves.

  - there's one fewer function in an already crowded namespace (e.g.,
    the difference between read_object() and read_object_file() was not
    immediately obvious; now we only have one of them).

1f9b02b970 Merge branch 'jt/avoid-lazy-fetch-commits'
Even in a repository with promisor remote, it is useless to

9e59b38c88 object-file: emit corruption errors when detected
Instead of relying on errno being preserved across function calls, teach
do_oid_object_info_extended() to itself report object corruption when
it first detects it. There are 3 types of corruption being detected:
 - when a replacement object is missing
 - when a loose object is corrupt
 - when a packed object is corrupt and the object cannot be read
   in another way

Note that in the RHS of this patch's diff, a check for ENOENT that was
introduced in 3ba7a06552 (A loose object is not corrupt if it cannot
be read due to EMFILE, 2010-10-28) is also removed. The purpose of this
check is to avoid a false report of corruption if the errno contains
something like EMFILE (or anything that is not ENOENT), in which case
a more generic report is presented. Because, as of this patch, we no
longer rely on such a heuristic to determine corruption, but surface
the error message at the point when we read something that we did not
expect, this check is no longer necessary.

Besides being more resilient, this also prepares for a future patch in
which an indirect caller of do_oid_object_info_extended() will need
such functionality.

199337d6ec object-file: use real paths when adding alternates
When adding an alternate ODB, we check if the alternate has the same
path as the object dir, and if so, we do nothing. However, that
comparison does not resolve symlinks. This makes it possible to add the
object dir as an alternate, which may result in bad behavior. For
example, it can trick "git repack -a -l -d" (possibly run by "git gc")
into thinking that all packs come from an alternate and delete all
objects.

	rm -rf test &&
	git clone https://github.com/git/git test &&
	(
	cd test &&
	ln -s objects .git/alt-objects &&
	# -c repack.updateserverinfo=false silences a warning about not
	# being able to update "info/refs", it isn't needed to show the
	# bad behavior
	GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=".git/alt-objects" git \
		-c repack.updateserverinfo=false repack -a -l -d  &&
	# It's broken!
	git status
	# Because there are no more objects!
	ls .git/objects/pack
	)

Fix this by resolving symlinks and relative paths before comparing the
alternate and object dir. This lets us clean up a number of issues noted
in 37a95862c6 (alternates: re-allow relative paths from environment,
2016-11-07):

- Now that we compare the real paths, duplicate detection is no longer
  foiled by relative paths.
- Using strbuf_realpath() allows us to "normalize" paths that
  strbuf_normalize_path() can't, so we can stop silently ignoring errors
  when "normalizing" paths from the environment.
- We now store an absolute path based on getcwd() (the "future
  direction" named in 37a95862c6), so chdir()-ing in the process no
  longer changes the directory pointed to by the alternate. This is a
  change in behavior, but a desirable one.

301f1e3ac1 promisor-remote: die upon failing fetch
In a partial clone, an attempt to read a missing object results in an
attempt to fetch that single object. In order to avoid multiple
sequential fetches, which would occur when multiple objects are missing
(which is the typical case), some commands have been taught to prefetch
in a batch: such a command would, in a partial clone, notice that
several objects that it will eventually need are missing, and call
promisor_remote_get_direct() with all such objects at once.

When this batch prefetch fails, these commands fall back to the
sequential fetches. But at $DAYJOB we have noticed that this results in
a bad user experience: a command would take unexpectedly long to finish
(and possibly use up a lot of bandwidth) if the batch prefetch would
fail for some intermittent reason, but all subsequent fetches would
work. It would be a better user experience for such a command would
just fail.

Therefore, make it a fatal error if the prefetch fails and at least one
object being fetched is known to be a promisor object. (The latter
criterion is to make sure that we are not misleading the user that such
an object would be present from the promisor remote. For example, a
missing object may be a result of repository corruption and not because
it is expectedly missing due to the repository being a partial clone.)

2b6070ac4c object-file.c: add "stream_loose_object()" to handle large object
If we want unpack and write a loose object using "write_loose_object",
we have to feed it with a buffer with the same size of the object, which
will consume lots of memory and may cause OOM. This can be improved by
feeding data to "stream_loose_object()" in a stream.

Add a new function "stream_loose_object()", which is a stream version of
"write_loose_object()" but with a low memory footprint. We will use this
function to unpack large blob object in later commit.

Another difference with "write_loose_object()" is that we have no chance
to run "write_object_file_prepare()" to calculate the oid in advance.
In "write_loose_object()", we know the oid and we can write the
temporary file in the same directory as the final object, but for an
object with an undetermined oid, we don't know the exact directory for
the object.

Still, we need to save the temporary file we're preparing
somewhere. We'll do that in the top-level ".git/objects/"
directory (or whatever "GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY" is set to). Once we've
streamed it we'll know the OID, and will move it to its canonical
path.

"freshen_packed_object()" or "freshen_loose_object()" will be called
inside "stream_loose_object()" after obtaining the "oid". After the
temporary file is written, we wants to mark the object to recent and we
may find that where indeed is already the object. We should remove the
temporary and do not leave a new copy of the object.

97a9db6ffb object-file.c: refactor write_loose_object() to several steps
When writing a large blob using "write_loose_object()", we have to pass
a buffer with the whole content of the blob, and this behavior will
consume lots of memory and may cause OOM. We will introduce a stream
version function ("stream_loose_object()") in later commit to resolve
this issue.

Before introducing that streaming function, do some refactoring on
"write_loose_object()" to reuse code for both versions.

Rewrite "write_loose_object()" as follows:

 1. Figure out a path for the (temp) object file. This step is only
    used in "write_loose_object()".

 2. Move common steps for starting to write loose objects into a new
    function "start_loose_object_common()".

 3. Compress data.

 4. Move common steps for ending zlib stream into a new function
    "end_loose_object_common()".

 5. Close fd and finalize the object file.

a613164257 sha1-file.c: don't freshen cruft packs
We don't bother to freshen objects stored in a cruft pack individually
by updating the `.mtimes` file. This is because we can't portably `mmap`
and write into the middle of a file (i.e., to update the mtime of just
one object). Instead, we would have to rewrite the entire `.mtimes` file
which may incur some wasted effort especially if there a lot of cruft
objects and they are freshened infrequently.

Instead, force the freshening code to avoid an optimizing write by
writing out the object loose and letting it pick up a current mtime.

This works because we prefer the mtime of the loose copy of an object
when both a loose and packed one exist (whether or not the packed copy
comes from a cruft pack or not).

This could certainly do with a test and/or be included earlier in this
series/PR, but I want to wait until after I have a chance to clean up
the overly-repetitive nature of the cruft pack tests in general.

b757353676 builtin/pack-objects.c: --cruft without expiration
Teach `pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack when no objects are
dropped (i.e., `--cruft-expiration=never`). Later patches will teach
`pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack that prunes objects.

When generating a cruft pack which does not prune objects, we want to
collect all unreachable objects into a single pack (noting and updating
their mtimes as we accumulate them). Ordinary use will pass the result
of a `git repack -A` as a kept pack, so when this patch says "kept
pack", readers should think "reachable objects".

Generating a non-expiring cruft packs works as follows:

  - Callers provide a list of every pack they know about, and indicate
    which packs are about to be removed.

  - All packs which are going to be removed (we'll call these the
    redundant ones) are marked as kept in-core.

    Any packs the caller did not mention (but are known to the
    `pack-objects` process) are also marked as kept in-core. Packs not
    mentioned by the caller are assumed to be unknown to them, i.e.,
    they entered the repository after the caller decided which packs
    should be kept and which should be discarded.

    Since we do not want to include objects in these "unknown" packs
    (because we don't know which of their objects are or aren't
    reachable), these are also marked as kept in-core.

  - Then, we enumerate all objects in the repository, and add them to
    our packing list if they do not appear in an in-core kept pack.

This results in a new cruft pack which contains all known objects that
aren't included in the kept packs. When the kept pack is the result of
`git repack -A`, the resulting pack contains all unreachable objects.

8a50571a0e object-file: convert 'switch' back to 'if'
This switch statement was recently added to make it clear that
unpack_loose_header() returns an enum value, not an int. This adds
complications for future developers if that enum gains new values, since
that developer would need to add a case statement to this switch for
little real value.

Instead, we can revert back to an 'if' statement, but make the enum
explicit by using "!= ULHR_OK" instead of assuming it has the numerical
value zero.

4627c67fa6 object-file: fix a unpack_loose_header() regression in 3b6a8db3b0
Fix a regression in my 3b6a8db3b0 (object-file.c: use "enum" return
type for unpack_loose_header(), 2021-10-01) revealed both by running
the test suite with --valgrind, and with the amended "git fsck" test.

In practice this regression in v2.34.0 caused us to claim that we
couldn't parse the header, as opposed to not being able to unpack
it. Before the change in the C code the test_cmp added here would emit:

	-error: unable to unpack header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
	+error: unable to parse header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391

I.e. we'd proceed to call parse_loose_header() on the uninitialized
"hdr" value, and it would have been very unlikely for that
uninitialized memory to be a valid git object.

The other callers of unpack_loose_header() were already checking the
enum values exhaustively. See 3b6a8db3b0 and
5848fb11ac (object-file.c: return ULHR_TOO_LONG on "header too long",
2021-10-01).

c0f4752ed2 core.fsyncmethod: batched disk flushes for loose-objects
When adding many objects to a repo with `core.fsync=loose-object`,
the cost of fsync'ing each object file can become prohibitive.

One major source of the cost of fsync is the implied flush of the
hardware writeback cache within the disk drive. This commit introduces
a new `core.fsyncMethod=batch` option that batches up hardware flushes.
It hooks into the bulk-checkin odb-transaction functionality, takes
advantage of tmp-objdir, and uses the writeout-only support code.

When the new mode is enabled, we do the following for each new object:
1a. Create the object in a tmp-objdir.
2a. Issue a pagecache writeback request and wait for it to complete.

At the end of the entire transaction when unplugging bulk checkin:
1b. Issue an fsync against a dummy file to flush the log and hardware
   writeback cache, which should by now have seen the tmp-objdir writes.
2b. Rename all of the tmp-objdir files to their final names.
3b. When updating the index and/or refs, we assume that Git will issue
   another fsync internal to that operation. This is not the default
   today, but the user now has the option of syncing the index and there
   is a separate patch series to implement syncing of refs.

On a filesystem with a singular journal that is updated during name
operations (e.g. create, link, rename, etc), such as NTFS, HFS+, or XFS
we would expect the fsync to trigger a journal writeout so that this
sequence is enough to ensure that the user's data is durable by the time
the git command returns. This sequence also ensures that no object files
appear in the main object store unless they are fsync-durable.

Batch mode is only enabled if core.fsync includes loose-objects. If
the legacy core.fsyncObjectFiles setting is enabled, but core.fsync does
not include loose-objects, we will use file-by-file fsyncing.

In step (1a) of the sequence, the tmp-objdir is created lazily to avoid
work if no loose objects are ever added to the ODB. We use a tmp-objdir
to maintain the invariant that no loose-objects are visible in the main
ODB unless they are properly fsync-durable. This is important since
future ODB operations that try to create an object with specific
contents will silently drop the new data if an object with the target
hash exists without checking that the loose-object contents match the
hash. Only a full git-fsck would restore the ODB to a functional state
where dataloss doesn't occur.

In step (1b) of the sequence, we issue a fsync against a dummy file
created specifically for the purpose. This method has a little higher
cost than using one of the input object files, but makes adding new
callers of this mechanism easier, since we don't need to figure out
which object file is "last" or risk sharing violations by caching the fd
of the last object file.

c4e707f858 object-file: pass filename to fsync_or_die
If we die while trying to fsync a loose object file, pass the actual
filename we're trying to sync. This is likely to be more helpful for a
user trying to diagnose the cause of the failure than the former
'loose object file' string. It also sidesteps any concerns about
translating the die message differently for loose objects versus
something else that has a real path.

020406eaa5 core.fsync: introduce granular fsync control infrastructure
This commit introduces the infrastructure for the core.fsync
configuration knob. The repository components we want to sync
are identified by flags so that we can turn on or off syncing
for specific components.

If core.fsyncObjectFiles is set and the core.fsync configuration
also includes FSYNC_COMPONENT_LOOSE_OBJECT, we will fsync any
loose objects. This picks the strictest data integrity behavior
if core.fsync and core.fsyncObjectFiles are set to conflicting values.

This change introduces the currently unused fsync_component
helper, which will be used by a later patch that adds fsyncing to
the refs backend.

Actual configuration and documentation of the fsync components
list are in other patches in the series to separate review of
the underlying mechanism from the policy of how it's configured.

6aea6baeb3 object-file API: pass an enum to read_object_with_reference()
Change the read_object_with_reference() function to take an "enum
object_type". It was not prepared to handle an arbitrary "const
char *type", as it was itself calling type_from_string().

Let's change the only caller that passes in user data to use
type_from_string(), and convert the rest to use e.g. "OBJ_TREE"
instead of "tree_type".

The "cat-file" caller is not on the codepath that
handles"--allow-unknown", so the type_from_string() there is safe. Its
use of type_from_string() doesn't functionally differ from that of the
pre-image.

0ff7b4f976 object API: rename hash_object_file_literally() to write_*()
Before 0c3db67cc8 (hash-object --literally: fix buffer overrun with
extra-long object type, 2015-05-04) the hash-object code being changed
here called write_sha1_file() to both hash and write a loose
object. Before that we'd use hash_sha1_file() to if "-w" wasn't
provided, and otherwise call write_sha1_file().

Now we'll always call the same function for both writing. Let's rename
it from hash_*_literally() to write_*_literally(). Even though the
write_*() might not actually write if HASH_WRITE_OBJECT isn't in
"flags", having it be more similar to write_object_file_flags() than
hash_object_file(), but carrying a name that would suggest that it's a
variant of the latter is confusing.

0f156dbb04 object-file API: split up and simplify check_object_signature()
Split up the check_object_signature() function into that non-streaming
version (it accepts an already filled "buf"), and a new
stream_object_signature() which will retrieve the object from storage,
and hash it on-the-fly.

All of the callers of check_object_signature() were effectively
calling two different functions, if we go by cyclomatic
complexity. I.e. they'd either take the early "if (map)" branch and
return early, or not. This has been the case since the "if (map)"
condition was added in 090ea12671 (parse_object: avoid putting whole
blob in core, 2012-03-07).

We can then further simplify the resulting check_object_signature()
function since only one caller wanted to pass a non-NULL "buf" and a
non-NULL "real_oidp". That "read_loose_object()" codepath used by "git
fsck" can instead use hash_object_file() followed by oideq().

This avoids the back & forth fragility where the callers of

ourselves before calling write_object_file_prepare(), but those
codepaths will be similarly adjusted in subsequent commits.

b04cdea46c object-file API: add a format_object_header() function
Add a convenience function to wrap the xsnprintf() command that
generates loose object headers. This code was copy/pasted in various
parts of the codebase, let's define it in one place and re-use it from
there.

All except one caller of it had a valid "enum object_type" for us,
it's only write_object_file_prepare() which might need to deal with
"git hash-object --literally" and a potential garbage type. Let's have
the primary API use an "enum object_type", and define a *_literally()
function that can take an arbitrary "const char *" for the type.

See [1] for the discussion that prompted this patch, i.e. new code in
object-file.c that wanted to copy/paste the xsnprintf() invocation.

In the case of fast-import.c the callers unfortunately need to cast
back & forth between "unsigned char *" and "char *", since
format_object_header() ad encode_in_pack_object_header() take
different signedness.
