Patrick Steinhardt 658022c4 2019-07-18T13:53:41 configuration: cvar -> configmap `cvar` is an unhelpful name. Refactor its usage to `configmap` for more clarity.

Edward Thomson 5d92e547 2019-06-08T17:28:35 oid: `is_zero` instead of `iszero` The only function that is named `issomething` (without underscore) was `git_oid_iszero`. Rename it to `git_oid_is_zero` for consistency with the rest of the library.
Edward Thomson 459ac856 2019-02-23T18:42:53 odb: provide a free function for custom backends Custom backends can allocate memory when reading objects and providing them to libgit2. However, if an error occurs in the custom backend after the memory has been allocated for the custom object but before it's returned to libgit2, the custom backend has no way to free that memory and it must be leaked. Provide a free function that corresponds to the alloc function so that custom backends have an opportunity to free memory before they return an error.
Edward Thomson 790aae77 2019-02-23T18:40:43 odb: rename git_odb_backend_malloc for consistency The `git_odb_backend_malloc` name is a system function that is provided for custom ODB backends and allows them to allocate memory for an ODB object in the read callback. This is important so that libgit2 can later free the memory used by an ODB object that was read from the custom backend. However, the name _suggests_ that it actually allocates a `git_odb_backend`. It does not; rename it to make it clear that it actually allocates backend _data_.
Edward Thomson a1ef995d 2019-02-21T10:33:30 indexer: use git_indexer_progress throughout Update internal usage of `git_transfer_progress` to `git_indexer_progreses`.
Patrick Steinhardt bbdcd450 2019-02-20T10:40:06 cache: fix misnaming of `git_cache_free` Functions that free a structure's contents but not the structure itself shall be named `dispose` in the libgit2 project, but the function `git_cache_free` does not follow this naming pattern. Fix this by renaming it to `git_cache_dispose` and adjusting all callers to make use of the new name.

lhchavez dd45539d 2019-02-16T22:06:58 Fix a _very_ improbable memory leak in git_odb_new() This change fixes a mostly theoretical memory leak in got_odb_new() that can only manifest if git_cache_init() fails due to running out of memory or not being able to acquire its lock.
Edward Thomson c6cac733 2019-01-20T22:40:38 blob: validate that blob sizes fit in a size_t Our blob size is a `git_off_t`, which is a signed 64 bit int. This may be erroneously negative or larger than `SIZE_MAX`. Ensure that the blob size fits into a `size_t` before casting.
Edward Thomson f673e232 2018-12-27T13:47:34 git_error: use new names in internal APIs and usage Move to the `git_error` name in the internal API for error-related functions.
Marijan Šuflaj f7416509 2019-01-20T20:15:31 Fix odb foreach to also close on positive error code In include/git2/odb.h it states that callback can also return positive value which should break looping. Implementations of git_odb_foreach() and pack_backend__foreach() did not respect that.
Edward Thomson b2c2dc64 2019-01-19T01:36:40 Merge pull request #4940 from libgit2/ethomson/git_obj More `git_obj` to `git_object` updates
Edward Thomson cd350852 2019-01-17T10:40:13 object_type: GIT_OBJECT_BAD is now GIT_OBJECT_INVALID We use the term "invalid" to refer to bad or malformed data, eg `GIT_REF_INVALID` and `GIT_EINVALIDSPEC`. Since we're changing the names of the `git_object_t`s in this release, update it to be `GIT_OBJECT_INVALID` instead of `BAD`.
lhchavez 7b453e7e 2019-01-05T22:12:48 Fix a bunch of warnings This change fixes a bunch of warnings that were discovered by compiling with `clang -target=i386-pc-linux-gnu`. It turned out that the intrinsics were not necessarily being used in all platforms! Especially in GCC, since it does not support __has_builtin. Some more warnings were gleaned from the Windows build, but I stopped when I saw that some third-party dependencies (e.g. zlib) have warnings of their own, so we might never be able to enable -Werror there.
Edward Thomson 168fe39b 2018-11-28T14:26:57 object_type: use new enumeration names Use the new object_type enumeration names within the codebase.
Patrick Steinhardt 0fcd0563 2018-08-06T12:00:21 odb: fix use of wrong printf formatters The `git_odb_stream` members `declared_size` and `received_bytes` are both of the type `git_off_t`, which we usually defined to be a 64 bit signed integer. Thus, passing these members to "PRIdZ" formatters is not correct, as they are not guaranteed to accept big enough numbers. Instead, use the "PRId64" formatter, which is able to represent 64 bit signed integers.
Patrick Steinhardt ecf4f33a 2018-02-08T11:14:48 Convert usage of `git_buf_free` to new `git_buf_dispose`
Patrick Steinhardt a52b4c51 2018-03-23T09:59:46 odb: fix writing to fake write streams In commit 7ec7aa4a7 (odb: assert on logic errors when writing objects, 2018-02-01), the check for whether we are trying to overflowing the fake stream buffer was changed from returning an error to raising an assert. The conversion forgot though that the logic around `assert`s are basically inverted. Previously, if the statement stream->written + len > steram->size evaluated to true, we would return a `-1`. Now we are asserting that this statement is true, and in case it is not we will raise an error. So the conversion to the `assert` in fact changed the behaviour to the complete opposite intention. Fix the assert by inverting its condition again and add a regression test.
Patrick Steinhardt a43bcd2c 2018-02-09T17:31:50 odb: fix memory leaks due to not freeing hash context
Edward Thomson 619f61a8 2018-02-01T06:22:36 odb: error when we can't create object header Return an error to the caller when we can't create an object header for some reason (printf failure) instead of simply asserting.
Edward Thomson 7ec7aa4a 2018-02-01T05:54:57 odb: assert on logic errors when writing objects There's no recovery possible if we're so confused or corrupted that we're trying to overwrite our memory. Simply assert.
Edward Thomson 138e4c2b 2018-02-01T06:35:31 git_odb__hashfd: propagate error on failures
Edward Thomson 35ed256b 2018-02-01T05:11:05 git_odb__hashobj: provide errors messages on failures Provide error messages on hash failures: assert when given invalid input instead of failing with a user error; provide error messages on program errors.
Edward Thomson 59d99adc 2018-01-31T09:34:52 odb: check for alloc errors on hardcoded objects It's unlikely that we'll fail to allocate a single byte, but let's check for allocation failures for good measure. Untangle `-1` being a marker of not having found the hardcoded odb object; use that to reflect actual errors.
Edward Thomson ef902864 2018-01-31T09:30:51 odb: error when we can't alloc an object At the moment, we're swallowing the allocation failure. We need to return the error to the caller.
Edward Thomson 97f9a5f0 2017-12-17T01:12:49 odb: provide length and type with streaming read The streaming read functionality should provide the length and the type of the object, like the normal read functionality does.
Patrick Steinhardt 275f103d 2018-01-12T08:59:40 odb: reject reading and writing null OIDs The null OID (hash with all zeroes) indicates a missing object in upstream git and is thus not a valid object ID. Add defensive measurements to avoid writing such a hash to the object database in the very unlikely case where some data results in the null OID. Furthermore, add shortcuts when reading the null OID from the ODB to avoid ever returning an object when a faulty repository may contain the null OID.
Patrick Steinhardt 0c7f49dd 2017-06-30T13:39:01 Make sure to always include "common.h" first Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we have to make sure to always include this file first in all implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation files should make sure to always include "common.h" first. This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead include "common.h" as first file themselves. This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.
Edward Thomson cb3010c5 2017-06-12T12:56:40 odb_read_prefix: reset error in backends loop When looking for an object by prefix, we query all the backends so that we can ensure that there is no ambiguity. We need to reset the `error` value between backends; otherwise the first backend may find an object by prefix, but subsequent backends may not. If we do not reset the `error` value then it will remain at `GIT_ENOTFOUND` and `read_prefix_1` will fail, despite having actually found an object.
Patrick Steinhardt 8d93a11c 2017-05-03T12:38:55 odb: fix printf formatter for git_off_t The fields `declared_size` and `received_bytes` of the `git_odb_stream` are both of type `git_off_t` which is defined as a signed integer. When passing these values to a printf-style string in `git_odb_stream__invalid_length`, though, we format these as PRIuZ, which is unsigned. Fix the issue by using PRIdZ instead, silencing warnings on macOS.
Patrick Steinhardt 7776db51 2017-05-03T12:15:12 odb: shut up gcc warnings regarding uninitilized variables The `error` variable is used as a return value in the out-section of both `odb_read_1` and `read_prefix_1`. While the value will actually always be initialized inside of this section, GCC fails to realize this due to interactions with the `found` variable: if `found` is set, the error will always be initialized. If it is not, we return early without reaching the out-statements. Shut up the warnings by initializing the error variable, even though it is unnecessary.
Patrick Steinhardt e0973bc0 2017-04-28T14:05:15 odb: verify hashes in read_prefix_1 While the function reading an object from the complete OID already verifies OIDs, we do not yet do so for reading objects from a partial OID. Do so when strict OID verification is enabled.
Patrick Steinhardt 14109620 2017-04-28T14:03:54 odb: improve error handling in read_prefix_1 The read_prefix_1 function has several return statements springled throughout the code. As we have to free memory upon getting an error, the free code has to be repeated at every single retrun -- which it is not, so we have a memory leak here. Refactor the code to use the typical `goto out` pattern, which will free data when an error has occurred. While we're at it, we can also improve the error message thrown when multiple ambiguous prefixes are found. It will now include the colliding prefixes.
Patrick Steinhardt 35079f50 2017-04-21T07:31:56 odb: add option to turn off hash verification Verifying hashsums of objects we are reading from the ODB may be costly as we have to perform an additional hashsum calculation on the object. Especially when reading large objects, the penalty can be as high as 35%, as can be seen when executing the equivalent of `git cat-file` with and without verification enabled. To mitigate for this, we add a global option for libgit2 which enables the developer to turn off the verification, e.g. when he can be reasonably sure that the objects on disk won't be corrupted.
Patrick Steinhardt 28a0741f 2017-04-10T09:30:08 odb: verify object hashes The upstream git.git project verifies objects when looking them up from disk. This avoids scenarios where objects have somehow become corrupt on disk, e.g. due to hardware failures or bit flips. While our mantra is usually to follow upstream behavior, we do not do so in this case, as we never check hashes of objects we have just read from disk. To fix this, we create a new error class `GIT_EMISMATCH` which denotes that we have looked up an object with a hashsum mismatch. `odb_read_1` will then, after having read the object from its backend, hash the object and compare the resulting hash to the expected hash. If hashes do not match, it will return an error. This obviously introduces another computation of checksums and could potentially impact performance. Note though that we usually perform I/O operations directly before doing this computation, and as such the actual overhead should be drowned out by I/O. Running our test suite seems to confirm this guess. On a Linux system with best-of-five timings, we had 21.592s with the check enabled and 21.590s with the ckeck disabled. Note though that our test suite mostly contains very small blobs only. It is expected that repositories with bigger blobs may notice an increased hit by this check. In addition to a new test, we also had to change the odb::backend::nonrefreshing test suite, which now triggers a hashsum mismatch when looking up the commit "deadbeef...". This is expected, as the fake backend allocated inside of the test will return an empty object for the OID "deadbeef...", which will obviously not hash back to "deadbeef..." again. We can simply adjust the hash to equal the hash of the empty object here to fix this test.

Edward Thomson becadafc 2016-08-05T19:30:56 odb: only provide the empty tree Only provide the empty tree internally, which matches git's behavior. If we provide the empty blob then any users trying to write it with libgit2 would omit it from actually landing in the odb, which appear to git proper as a broken repository (missing that object).
Edward Thomson 8f09a98e 2016-07-14T16:23:24 odb: freshen existing objects when writing When writing an object, we calculate its OID and see if it exists in the object database. If it does, we need to freshen the file that contains it.

Vicent Marti 9a786650 2016-03-09T11:00:27 odb: Handle corner cases in `git_odb_expand_ids` The old implementation had two issues: 1. OIDs that were too short as to be ambiguous were not being handled properly. 2. If the last OID to expand in the array was missing from the ODB, we would leak a `GIT_ENOTFOUND` error code from the function.
Edward Thomson 62484f52 2016-03-08T14:09:55 git_odb_expand_ids: accept git_odb_expand_id array Take (and write to) an array of a struct, `git_odb_expand_id`.

Edward Thomson 6c04269c 2016-03-04T00:50:35 git_odb_exists_many_prefixes: query odb for multiple short ids Query the object database for multiple objects at a time, given their object ID (which may be abbreviated) and optional type.
Edward Thomson e10144ae 2016-03-04T01:18:30 odb: improved not found error messages When looking up an abbreviated oid, show the actual (abbreviated) oid the caller passed instead of a full (but ambiguously truncated) oid.
Vicent Marti a0a1b19a 2015-10-14T19:31:54 odb: Prioritize alternate backends For most real use cases, repositories with alternates use them as main object storage. Checking the alternate for objects before the main repository should result in measurable speedups. Because of this, we're changing the sorting algorithm to prioritize alternates *in cases where two backends have the same priority*. This means that the pack backend for the alternate will be checked before the pack backend for the main repository *but* both of them will be checked before any loose backends.
Vicent Marti 43820f20 2015-10-14T19:24:07 odb: Be smarter when refreshing backends In the current implementation of ODB backends, each backend is tasked with refreshing itself after a failed lookup. This is standard Git behavior: we want to e.g. reload the packfiles on disk in case they have changed and that's the reason we can't find the object we're looking for. This behavior, however, becomes pathological in repositories where multiple alternates have been loaded. Given that each alternate counts as a separate backend, a miss in the main repository (which can potentially be very frequent in cases where object storage comes from the alternate) will result in refreshing all its packfiles before we move on to the alternate backend where the object will most likely be found. To fix this, the code in `odb.c` has been refactored as to perform the refresh of all the backends externally, once we've verified that the object is nowhere to be found. If the refresh is successful, we then perform the lookup sequentially through all the backends, skipping the ones that we know for sure weren't refreshed (because they have no refresh API). The on-disk pack backend has been adjusted accordingly: it no longer performs refreshes internally.
Arthur Schreiber d3b29fb9 2015-10-01T00:50:37 refdb and odb backends must provide `free` function As refdb and odb backends can be allocated by client code, libgit2 can’t know whether an alternative memory allocator was used, and thus should not try to call `git__free` on those objects. Instead, odb and refdb backend implementations must always provide their own `free` functions to ensure memory gets freed correctly.

Edward Thomson a6f2ceaf 2015-05-13T12:11:55 Merge pull request #3118 from libgit2/cmn/stream-size odb: make the writestream's size a git_off_t
Carlos Martín Nieto b0d7f329 2015-05-13T10:23:19 odb: reverse the default backend priorities We currently first look in the loose object dir and then in the packs for objects. When performing operations on recent history this has a higher likelihood of hitting, but when we deal with operations which look further back into the past, we start spending a large amount of time getting ENOTENT from `access`. Reversing the priorities means that long-running operations can get to their objects faster, as we can look at the index data we have in memory (or rather mapped) to figure out whether we have an object, which is faster than going out to the filesystem. The packed backend already implements an optimistic read algorithm by first looking at the packs we know about and only going out to disk to referesh if the object is not found which means that in the case where we do have the object (which will be in the majority for anything that traverses the graph) we can avoid going to to disk entirely to determine whether an object exists. Operations which look at recent history may take a slight impact, but these would be operations which look a lot less at object and thus take less time regardless.
Carlos Martín Nieto 77b339f7 2015-05-12T13:06:33 odb: make the writestream's size a git_off_t Restricting files to size_t is a silly limitation. The loose backend writes to a file directly, so there is no issue in using 63 bits for the size. We still assume that the header is going to fit in 64 bytes, which does mean quite a bit smaller files due to the run-length encoding, but it's still a much larger size than you would want Git to handle.

Vicent Marti e0156651 2014-11-21T13:50:46 odb: `git_odb_object` contents are never NULL This is a contract that we made in the library and that we need to uphold. The contents of a blob can never be NULL because several parts of the library (including the filter and attributes code) expect `git_blob_rawcontent` to always return a valid pointer.
Carlos Martín Nieto e1ac0101 2014-11-08T14:40:53 odb: hardcode the empty blob and tree git hardocodes these as objects which exist regardless of whether they are in the odb and uses them in the shell interface as a way of expressing the lack of a blob or tree for one side of e.g. a diff. In the library we use each language's natural way of declaring a lack of value which makes a workaround like this unnecessary. Since git uses it, it does however mean each shell application would need to perform this check themselves. This makes it common work across a range of applications and an issue with compatibility with git, which fits right into what the library aims to provide. Thus we introduce the hard-coded empty blob and tree in the odb frontend. These hard-coded objects are checked for before going to the backends, but after the cache check, which means the second time they're used, they will be treated as normal cached objects instead of creating new ones.
Carlos Martín Nieto 530594c0 2014-05-23T05:53:41 odb: clear backend errors on successful read We go through the different backends in order, so it's not an error if at least one of the backends has the data we want.

Russell Belfer 89499078 2014-03-10T10:53:39 Fix a number of git_odb_exists_prefix bugs The git_odb_exists_prefix API was not dealing correctly when a later backend returned GIT_ENOTFOUND even if an earlier backend had found the object. Additionally, the unit tests were not properly exercising the API and had a couple mistakes in checking the results. Lastly, since the backends are not expected to behavior correctly unless all bytes of the short id are zero except for the prefix, this makes the ODB prefix APIs explicitly clear out the extra bytes so the user doesn't have to be as careful.

Russell Belfer a9f51e43 2013-09-11T22:00:36 Merge git_buf and git_buffer This makes the git_buf struct that was used internally into an externally available structure and eliminates the git_buffer. As part of that, some of the special cases that arose with the externally used git_buffer were blended into the git_buf, such as being careful about git_buf objects that may have a NULL ptr and allowing for bufs with a valid ptr and size but zero asize as a way of referring to externally owned data.
Russell Belfer 2a7d224f 2013-09-10T16:33:32 Extend public filter api with filter lists This moves the git_filter_list into the public API so that users can create, apply, and dispose of filter lists. This allows more granular application of filters to user data outside of libgit2 internals. This also converts all the internal usage of filters to the public APIs along with a few small tweaks to make it easier to use the public git_buffer stuff alongside the internal git_buf.
Russell Belfer 85d54812 2013-08-28T16:44:04 Create public filter object and use it This creates include/sys/filter.h with a basic definition of a git_filter and then converts the internal code to use it. There are related internal objects (git_filter_list) that we will want to publish at some point, but this is a first step.

nulltoken 4047950f 2013-08-29T14:19:34 odb: Prevent stream_finalize_write() from overwriting Now that #1785 is merged, git_odb_stream_finalize_write() calculates the object id before invoking the odb backend. This commit gives a chance to the backend to check if it already knows this object.
nulltoken b1a6c316 2013-08-30T17:36:00 odb: Move the auto refresh logic to the pack backend Previously, `git_object_read()`, `git_object_read_prefix()` and `git_object_exists()` were implementing an auto refresh logic. When the expected object couldn't be found in any backend, a call to `git_odb_refresh()` was triggered and the lookup was once again performed against all backends. This commit removes this auto-refresh logic from the odb layer and pushes it down into the pack-backend (as it's the only one currently exposing a `refresh()` endpoint).

Carlos Martín Nieto 090a07d2 2013-08-17T02:12:04 odb: avoid hashing twice in and edge case If none of the backends support direct writes and we must stream the whole file, we already know what the object's id should be; so use the stream's functions directly, bypassing the frontend's hashing and overwriting of our existing id.
Carlos Martín Nieto fe0c6d4e 2013-08-17T01:41:08 odb: make it clearer that the id is calculated in the frontend The frontend is in charge of calculating the id of the objects. Thus the backends should treat it as a read-only value. The positioning in the function signature made it seem as though it was an output parameter. Make the id const and move it from the front to behind the subject (backend or stream).
Carlos Martín Nieto 8380b39a 2013-08-15T14:29:39 odb: perform the stream hashing in the frontend Hash the data as it's coming into the stream and tell the backend what its name is when finalizing the write. This makes it consistent with the way a plain git_odb_write() performs the write.
Carlos Martín Nieto 376e6c9f 2013-08-15T13:48:35 odb: wrap the stream reading and writing functions This is in preparation for moving the hashing to the frontend, which requires us to handle the incoming data before passing it to the backend's stream.
Carlos Martín Nieto e54cfb9b 2013-08-12T11:50:27 odb: free object data when id is ambiguous By the time we recognise this as an ambiguous id, the object's data has been loaded into memory. Free it when returning EABMIGUOUS.
