cache.h's nature of a dumping ground of includes prevented it from
being included in some compat/ files, forcing us into a workaround
of having a double forward declaration of the read_in_full() function
(see commit 14086b0a13 ("compat/pread.c: Add a forward declaration to
fix a warning", 2007-11-17)). Now that we have moved functions like
read_in_full() from cache.h to wrapper.h, and wrapper.h isn't littered
with unrelated and scary #defines, get rid of the extra forward
declaration and just have compat/pread.c include wrapper.h.

* ps/fsync-refs-fix:
refs: fix corruption by not correctly syncing packed-refs to disk
At GitLab we have recently received a report where a repository was left
with a corrupted `packed-refs` file after the node hard-crashed even
though `core.fsync=reference` was set. This is something that in theory
should not happen if we correctly did the atomic-rename dance to:
1. Write the data into a temporary file.
2. Synchronize the temporary file to disk.
3. Rename the temporary file into place.
So if we crash in the middle of writing the `packed-refs` file we should
only ever see either the old or the new state of the file.
And while we do the dance when writing the `packed-refs` file, there is
indeed one gotcha: we use a `FILE *` stream to write the temporary file,
but don't flush it before synchronizing it to disk. As a consequence any
data that is still buffered will not get synchronized and a crash of the
machine may cause corruption.
Fix this bug by flushing the file stream before we fsync.

The logic to handle worktree refs (worktrees/NAME/REF and
main-worktree/REF) existed in two places:
* ref_type() in refs.c
* parse_worktree_ref() in worktree.c
Collapse this logic together in one function parse_worktree_ref():
this avoids having to cross-check the result of parse_worktree_ref()
and ref_type().
Introduce enum ref_worktree_type, which is slightly different from
enum ref_type. The latter is a misleading name (one would think that
'ref_type' would have the symref option).
Instead, enum ref_worktree_type only makes explicit how a refname
relates to a worktree. From this point of view, HEAD and
refs/bisect/abc are the same: they specify the current worktree
implicitly.
The files-backend must avoid packing refs/bisect/* and friends into
packed-refs, so expose is_per_worktree_ref() separately.

Code clean-up.
* ab/refs-various-fixes:

packed-backend: remove stub BUG(...) functions
misc *.c: use designated initializers for struct assignments
refs: use designated initializers for "struct ref_iterator_vtable"

* ps/fsync-refs:
core.fsync: new option to harden references
Remove the stub BUG(...) functions previously used by the "struct
ref_storage_be refs_be_packed" backend.
We never call any functions in the packed backend by using it as a
"normal" primary ref store, instead we'll always initialize a "files"
backend ref-store.
It will then via the "packed_ref_store" member of "struct
files_ref_store" call selected functions in the "packed" backend, and
we'll in addition call others via wrappers in refs.c.
So while these would arguably give us *slightly* more meaningful error
messages we'll NULL the missing members in the initializer anyway, so
we'll reliably get a segfault if we're ever changing the backend and
having it call something it doesn't have.
So there's no need for this verbose boilerplate, and as shown in a
subsequent commit it might even lead to some confusion about the
packed backend being a "real" backend. Let's make it clear that it's
not.
As an aside, this also fixes a warning emitted by SunCC in at least

The "= NULL" assignments being retained here are redundant, and could

When writing both loose and packed references to disk we first create a
lockfile, write the updated values into that lockfile, and on commit we
rename the file into place. According to filesystem developers, this
behaviour is broken because applications should always sync data to disk
before doing the final rename to ensure data consistency [1][2][3]. If
applications fail to do this correctly, a hard crash of the machine can
easily result in corrupted on-disk data.
This kind of corruption can in fact be easily observed with Git when the
machine hard-resets shortly after writing references to disk. On
machines with ext4, this will likely lead to the "empty files" problem:
the file has been renamed, but its data has not been synced to disk. The
result is that the reference is corrupt, and in the worst case this can
lead to data loss.
Implement a new option to harden references so that users and admins can
avoid this scenario by syncing locked loose and packed references to
disk before we rename them into place.

Reading of symbolic and non-symbolic references is currently treated the
same in reference backends: we always call `refs_read_raw_ref()` and
then decide based on the returned flags what type it is. This has one
downside though: symbolic references may be treated different from
normal references in a backend from normal references. The packed-refs
backend for example doesn't even know about symbolic references, and as
a result it is pointless to even ask it for one.
There are cases where we really only care about whether a reference is
symbolic or not, but don't care about whether it exists at all or may be
a non-symbolic reference. But it is not possible to optimize for this
case right now, and as a consequence we will always first check for a
loose reference to exist, and if it doesn't, we'll query the packed-refs
backend for a known-to-not-be-symbolic reference. This is inefficient
and requires us to search all packed references even though we know to
not care for the result at all.
Introduce a new function `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` which allows us to
fix this case. This function will only ever return symbolic references
and can thus optimize for the scenario layed out above. By default, if
the backend doesn't provide an implementation for it, we just use the
old code path and fall back to `read_raw_ref()`. But in case the backend
provides its own, more efficient implementation, we will use that one
instead.
Note that this function is explicitly designed to not distinguish
between missing references and non-symbolic references. If it did, we'd
be forced to always search the packed-refs backend to see whether the
symbolic reference the user asked for really doesn't exist, or if it
exists as a non-symbolic reference.

This makes it explicit how alternative ref backends should report errors in
read_raw_ref_fn.
read_raw_ref_fn needs to supply a credible errno for a number of cases. These
are primarily:
1) The files backend calls read_raw_ref from lock_raw_ref, and uses the
resulting error codes to create/remove directories as needed.
2) ENOENT should be translated in a zero OID, optionally with REF_ISBROKEN set,
returning the last successfully resolved symref. This is necessary so
read_raw_ref("HEAD") on an empty repo returns refs/heads/main (or the default branch
du-jour), and we know on which branch to create the first commit.
Make this information flow explicit by adding a failure_errno to the signature
of read_raw_ref. All errnos from the files backend are still propagated
unchanged, even though inspection suggests only ENOTDIR, EISDIR and ENOENT are
relevant.

Use -1 as error return value throughout.
This removes spurious differences in the GIT_TRACE_REFS output, depending on the
ref storage backend active.
Before, the cached ref_iterator (but only that iterator!) would return
peel_object() output directly. No callers relied on the peel_status values
beyond success/failure. All calls to these functions go through
peel_iterated_oid(), which returns peel_object() as a fallback, but also
squashing the error values.
The iteration interface already passes REF_ISSYMREF and REF_ISBROKEN through the
flags argument, so the additional error values in enum peel_status provide no
value.
The ref iteration interface provides a separate peel() function because certain
formats (eg. packed-refs and reftable) can store the peeled object next to the
tag SHA1. Passing the peeled SHA1 as an optional argument to each_ref_fn maps
more naturally to the implementation of ref databases. Changing the code in this
way is left for a future refactoring.

When a packed ref is deleted, the whole packed-refs file is
rewritten to omit the ref that no longer exists. However if another
gc command is running and calls `pack-refs --all` simultaneously,
there is a chance that a ref that was just updated lose the newly
created commits.
Through these steps, losing commits on newly updated refs can be
demonstrated:
# step 1: compile git without `USE_NSEC` option
Some kernel releases do enable it by default while some do
not. And if we compile git without `USE_NSEC`, it will be easier
demonstrated by the following steps.
# step 2: setup a repository and add the first commit
git init repo &&
(cd repo &&
git config core.logallrefupdates true &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo)
# step 3: in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd repo &&
while true
do
git pack-refs --all
done
# step 4: in another terminal, simultaneously update the
# master with update-ref, and create and delete an
# unrelated ref also with update-ref
cd repo &&
while true
do
us=$(git commit-tree -m foo -p HEAD HEAD^{tree}) &&
git update-ref refs/heads/newbranch $us &&
git update-ref refs/heads/master $us &&
git update-ref -d refs/heads/newbranch &&
them=$(git rev-parse master) &&
if test "$them" != "$us"
then
echo >&2 "lost commit: $us"
exit 1
fi
# eye candy
printf .
done
Though we have the packed-refs lock file and loose refs lock
files to avoid updating conflicts, a ref will lost its newly
commits if racy stat-validity of `packed-refs` file happens
(which is quite same as the racy-git described in
`Documentation/technical/racy-git.txt`), the following
specific set of operations demonstrates the problem:
1. Call `pack-refs --all` to pack all the loose refs to
packed-refs, and let say the modify time of the
packed-refs is DATE_M.
2. Call `update-ref` to update a new commit to master while
it is already packed. the old value (let us call it
OID_A) remains in the packed-refs file and write the new
value (let us call it OID_B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master.
3. Call `update-ref -d` within the same DATE_M from the 1th
step to delete a different ref newbranch which is packed
in the packed-refs file. It check newbranch's oid from
packed-refs file without locking it.
Meanwhile it keeps a snapshot of the packed-refs file in
memory and record the file's attributes with the snapshot.
The oid of master in the packed-refs's snapshot is OID_A.
4. Call a new `pack-refs --all` to pack the loose refs, the
oid of master in packe-refs file is OID_B, and the loose
refs $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master is removed. Let's say
the `pack-refs --all` is very quickly done and the new
packed-refs file's modify time is still DATE_M, and it
has the same file size, even the same inode.
5. 3th step now goes on after checking the newbranch, it
begin to rewrite the packed-refs file. After get the
lock file of packed-ref file, it checks it's on-disk
file attributes with the snapshot, suck as the timestamp,
the file size and the inode value. If they are both the
same values, and the snapshot is not refreshed.
Because the loose ref of master is removed by 4th step,
`update-ref -d` will updates the new packed-ref to disk
which contains master with the oid OID_A. So now the
newly commit OID_B of master is lost.
The best path forward is just always refreshing after take
the lock file of `packed-refs` file. Traditionally we avoided
that because refreshing it implied parsing the whole file.
But these days we mmap it, so it really is just an extra
open()/mmap() and a quick read of the header. That doesn't seem
like an outrageous cost to pay when we're already taking the lock.

As with the previous two patches, this patch can be achieved
almost entirely by running "make coccicheck"; the only

There is one thing to note for anybody replicating this,
though: coccinelle 1.0.4 seems to miss the case in

Commit f57f37e2e1 (files-backend: remove the use of
git_path(), 2017-03-26) introduced a regression when a
relative $GIT_DIR is used in a working tree:
- when we initialize the ref backend, we make a copy of
get_git_dir(), which may be relative
- later, we may call setup_work_tree() and chdir to the
root of the working tree
- further calls to the ref code will use the stored git
directory, but relative paths will now point to the
wrong place
The new test in t1501 demonstrates one such instance (the
bug causes us to write the ref update to the nonsense
"relative/relative/.git").
Since setup_work_tree() now uses chdir_notify, we can just
ask it update our relative paths when necessary.

Avoid mmapping small files while using packed refs (especially ones
with zero size, which would cause later munmap() to fail).
* kg/packed-ref-cache-fix:
packed_ref_cache: don't use mmap() for small files
load_contents(): don't try to mmap an empty file
packed_ref_iterator_begin(): make optimization more general
find_reference_location(): make function safe for empty snapshots
create_snapshot(): use `xmemdupz()` rather than a strbuf
struct snapshot: store `start` rather than `header_len`
Take a hint from commit ea68b0ce9f (hash-object: don't use mmap() for
small files, 2010-02-21) and use read() instead of mmap() for small
packed-refs files.

We don't actually create zero-length `packed-refs` files, but they are
valid and we should handle them correctly. The old code `xmmap()`ed
such files, which led to an error when `munmap()` was called. So, if
the `packed-refs` file is empty, leave the snapshot at its zero values
and return 0 without trying to read or mmap the file.
Returning 0 also makes `create_snapshot()` exit early, which avoids
the technically undefined comparison `NULL < NULL`.

We can return an empty iterator not only if the `packed-refs` file is
missing, but also if it is empty or if there are no references whose
names succeed `prefix`. Optimize away those cases as well by moving
the call to `find_reference_location()` higher in the function and
checking whether the determined start position is the same as
`snapshot->eof`. (This is possible now because the previous commit
made `find_reference_location()` robust against empty snapshots.)
