Todd Zullinger reported this bug in https://public-inbox.org/git/20180615043111.GS3094@zaya.teonanacatl.net/: when calling git rebase --root and trying to reword the root commit's message, a BUG is reported.

This fixes that.

IMO the bug fix is trivial enough to qualify for inclusion into v2.18.0, still.

When splitting a repository, running `git rebase -i --root` to reword
the initial commit, Git dies with

	BUG: sequencer.c:795: root commit without message.

The code path that triggered that "BUG" really does not want to run
without an explicit commit message. In the case where we want to amend a
commit message, we have an *implicit* commit message, though: the one of
the commit to amend. Therefore, this code path should not even be
entered.

I just submitted my first patch series via GitGitGadget, and it worked,
mostly:

    gitgitgadget/git#3
    https://public-inbox.org/git/pull.3.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/

There were only minor glitches that I noticed immediately (and maybe
major ones I missed). Let's remember to fix them.

…ev()

In 'builtin/name-rev.c' in the name_rev() function there is a loop
iterating over all parents of the given commit, and the loop body
looks like this:

  if (parent_number > 1) {
      if (generation > 0)
          // branch #1
          new_name = ...
      else
          // branch #2
          new_name = ...
      name_rev(parent, new_name, ...);
  } else {
      // branch #3
      name_rev(...);
  }

These conditions are not covered properly in the test suite.  As far
as purely test coverage goes, they are all executed several times over
in 't6120-describe.sh'.  However, they don't directly influence the
command's output, because the repository used in that test script
contains several branches and tags pointing somewhere into the middle
of the commit DAG, and thus result in a better name for the
to-be-named commit.  This can hide bugs: e.g. by replacing the
'new_name' parameter of the first recursive name_rev() call with
'tip_name' (effectively making both branch #1 and #2 a noop) 'git
name-rev --all' shows thousands of bogus names in the Git repository,
but the whole test suite still passes successfully.  In an early
version of a later patch in this series I managed to mess up all three
branches (at once!), but the test suite still passed.

So add a new test case that operates on the following history:

  A--------------master
   \            /
    \----------M2
     \        /
      \---M1-C
       \ /
        B

and names the commit 'B' to make sure that all three branches are
crucial to determine 'B's name:

  - There is only a single ref, so all names are based on 'master',
    without any undesired interference from other refs.

  - Each time name_rev() follows the second parent of a merge commit,
    it appends "^2" to the name.  Following 'master's second parent
    right at the start ensures that all commits on the ancestry path
    from 'master' to 'B' have a different base name from the original
    'tip_name' of the very first name_rev() invocation.  Currently,
    while name_rev() is recursive, it doesn't matter, but it will be
    necessary to properly cover all three branches after the recursion
    is eliminated later in this series.

  - Following 'M2's second parent makes sure that branch #2 (i.e. when
    'generation = 0') affects 'B's name.

  - Following the only parent of the non-merge commit 'C' ensures that
    branch #3 affects 'B's name, and that it increments 'generation'.

  - Coming from 'C' 'generation' is 1, thus following 'M1's second
    parent makes sure that branch #1 affects 'B's name.

Recent versions of the gcc and clang Address Sanitizer produce test
failures related to regexec(). This triggers with gcc-10 and clang-8
(but not gcc-9 nor clang-7). Running:

  make CC=gcc-10 SANITIZE=address test

results in failures in t4018, t3206, and t4062.

The cause seems to be that when built with ASan, we use a different
version of regexec() than normal. And this version doesn't understand
the REG_STARTEND flag. Here's my evidence supporting that.

The failure in t4062 is an ASan warning:

  expecting success of 4062.2 '-G matches':
  	git diff --name-only -G "^(0{64}){64}$" HEAD^ >out &&
  	test 4096-zeroes.txt = "$(cat out)"

      [...]

In this case we're looking in a buffer which was mmap'd via
reuse_worktree_file(), and whose size is 4096 bytes. But libasan's
regex tries to look at byte 4097 anyway! If we tweak Git like this:

  diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c

          return 0;

to use a regular buffer (with a trailing NUL) instead of an mmap, then
the complaint goes away.

The other failures are actually diff output with an incorrect funcname

then when compiling with ASan and gcc-10, running the diff from t4018.66
produces this:

  $ git diff -U1 cpp-skip-access-specifiers

  +       int IWasChanged;
   };

That first regex should match (and is negated, so it should be telling
us _not_ to match "private:"). But it wouldn't if regexec() is looking
at the whole buffer, and not just the length-limited line we've fed to
regexec_buf(). So this is consistent again with REG_STARTEND being
ignored.

The correct output (compiling without ASan, or gcc-9 with Asan) looks
like this:

  warning: regexec matched:
    regex: ^[     ]*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*:[[:space:]]*($|/[/*])

So it really does seem like libasan's regex engine is ignoring
REG_STARTEND. We should be able to work around it by compiling with
NO_REGEX, which would use our local regexec(). But to make matters even
more interesting, this isn't enough by itself.

Because ASan has support from the compiler, it doesn't seem to intercept
our call to regexec() at the dynamic library level. It actually
recognizes when we are compiling a call to regexec() and replaces it
with ASan-specific code at that point. And unlike most of our other
compat code, where we might have git_mmap() or similar, the actual
symbol name in the compiled compat/regex code is regexec(). So just
compiling with NO_REGEX isn't enough; we still end up in libasan!

We can work around that by having the preprocessor replace regexec with
git_regexec (both in the callers and in the actual implementation), and
we truly end up with a call to our custom regex code, even when
compiling with ASan. That's probably a good thing to do anyway, as it
means anybody looking at the symbols later (e.g., in a debugger) would
have a better indication of which function is which. So we'll do the
same for the other common regex functions (even though just regexec() is
enough to fix this ASan problem).

Memory sanitizer (msan) is detecting a use of an uninitialized variable

The issue exists because `size` is an output parameter from
`read_blob_data_from_index`, but it's only modified if
`read_blob_data_from_index` returns non-NULL. The read of `size` when
calling `read_attr_from_buf` unconditionally may read from an
uninitialized value. `read_attr_from_buf` checks that `buf` is non-NULL
before reading from `size`, but by then it's already too late: the
uninitialized read will have happened already. Furthermore, there's no
guarantee that the compiler won't reorder things so that it checks
`size` before checking `!buf`.

Make the call to `read_attr_from_buf` conditional on `buf` being
non-NULL, ensuring that `size` is not read if it's never set.

It was recently reported that concurrent reads and writes may cause the
reftable backend to segfault. The root cause of this is that we do not
properly keep track of reftable readers across reloads.

Suppose that you have a reftable iterator and then decide to reload the
stack while iterating through the iterator. When the stack has been
rewritten since we have created the iterator, then we would end up
discarding a subset of readers that may still be in use by the iterator.
The consequence is that we now try to reference deallocated memory,
which of course segfaults.

One way to trigger this is in t5616, where some background maintenance
jobs have been leaking from one test into another. This leads to stack
traces like the following one:

While it is somewhat awkward that the maintenance processes survive
tests in the first place, it is totally expected that reftables should
work alright with concurrent writers. Seemingly they don't.

The only underlying resource that we need to care about in this context
is the reftable reader, which is responsible for reading a single table
from disk. These readers get discarded immediately (unless reused) when
calling `reftable_stack_reload()`, which is wrong. We can only close
them once we know that there are no iterators using them anymore.

Prepare for a fix by converting the reftable readers to be refcounted.

While it is somewhat awkward that the maintenance processes survive
tests in the first place, it is totally expected that reftables should
work alright with concurrent writers. Seemingly they don't.

The only underlying resource that we need to care about in this context
is the reftable reader, which is responsible for reading a single table
from disk. These readers get discarded immediately (unless reused) when
calling `reftable_stack_reload()`, which is wrong. We can only close
them once we know that there are no iterators using them anymore.

Prepare for a fix by converting the reftable readers to be refcounted.

It was recently reported that concurrent reads and writes may cause the
reftable backend to segfault. The root cause of this is that we do not
properly keep track of reftable readers across reloads.

Suppose that you have a reftable iterator and then decide to reload the
stack while iterating through the iterator. When the stack has been
rewritten since we have created the iterator, then we would end up
discarding a subset of readers that may still be in use by the iterator.
The consequence is that we now try to reference deallocated memory,
which of course segfaults.

One way to trigger this is in t5616, where some background maintenance
jobs have been leaking from one test into another. This leads to stack
traces like the following one:

The incremental MIDX bitmap work was done prior to 9d4855e
(midx-write: fix leaking buffer, 2024-09-30), and causes test failures
in t5334 in a post-9d4855eef3 world.

The leak looks like:

    Direct leak of 264 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
        #0 0x7f6bcd87eaca in calloc ../../../../src/libsanitizer/lsan/lsan_interceptors.cpp:90

, and is a result of us not freeing the resources corresponding to the
bitmap's base layer, if one was present.

Rectify that leak by calling the newly-introduced free_bitmap_index()
function on the base layer to ensure that its resources are also freed.

exercises the `git rev-list --filter` option with invalid filters. We
execute git-rev-list(1) via `test_must_fail`, which means that we check
for leaks even though Git exits with an error code. This causes the

This leak is valid, as we call `die()` and do not clean up the memory at
all. But what's curious is that this is the only leak reported, because
we don't clean up any other allocated memory, either, and I have no idea
why the leak sanitizer treats this buffer specially.

In any case, we can work around the leak by shuffling things around a
bit. Instead of calling `gently_parse_list_objects_filter()` and dying
after we have modified the filter spec, we simply do so beforehand. Like
this we don't allocate the buffer in the error case, which makes the
reported leak go away.

It's not pretty, but it manages to make t6112 leak free.

When running t5601 with the leak checker enabled we can see a hang in
our CI systems. This hang seems to be system-specific, as I cannot
reproduce it on my own machine.

As it turns out, the issue is in those testcases that exercise cloning
of `~repo`-style paths. All of the testcases that hang eventually end up
interpreting "repo" as the username and will call getpwnam(3p) with that
username. That should of course be fine, and getpwnam(3p) should just
return an error. But instead, the leak sanitizer seems to be recursing
while handling a call to `free()` in the NSS modules:

When running t5601 with the leak checker enabled we can see a hang in
our CI systems. This hang seems to be system-specific, as I cannot
reproduce it on my own machine.

As it turns out, the issue is in those testcases that exercise cloning
of `~repo`-style paths. All of the testcases that hang eventually end up
interpreting "repo" as the username and will call getpwnam(3p) with that
username. That should of course be fine, and getpwnam(3p) should just
return an error. But instead, the leak sanitizer seems to be recursing
while handling a call to `free()` in the NSS modules:

There's a race with LSan when spawning threads and one of the threads
calls die(). We worked around one such problem with index-pack in the
previous commit, but it exists in git-grep, too. You can see it with:

  make SANITIZE=leak THREAD_BARRIER_PTHREAD=YesOnLinux
  cd t
  ./t0003-attributes.sh --stress

which fails pretty quickly with:

  ==git==4096424==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks

As with the previous commit, we can fix this by inserting a barrier that
makes sure all threads have finished their setup before continuing. But
there's one twist in this case: the thread which calls die() is not one
of the worker threads, but the main thread itself!

So we need the main thread to wait in the barrier, too, until all
threads have gotten to it. And thus we initialize the barrier for
num_threads+1, to account for all of the worker threads plus the main
one.

If we then test as above, t0003 should run indefinitely.

In 1b9e9be (csum-file.c: use unsafe SHA-1 implementation when
available, 2024-09-26) we have converted our `struct hashfile` to use
the unsafe SHA1 backend, which results in a significant speedup. One
needs to be careful with how to use that structure now though because
callers need to consistently use either the safe or unsafe variants of
SHA1, as otherwise one can easily trigger corruption.

As it turns out, we have one inconsistent usage in our tree because we
directly initialize `struct hashfile_checkpoint::ctx` with the safe
variant of SHA1, but end up writing to that context with the unsafe
ones. This went unnoticed so far because our CI systems do not exercise
different hash functions for these two backends, and consequently safe
and unsafe variants are equivalent. But when using SHA1DC as safe and
OpenSSL as unsafe backend this leads to a crash an t1050:

Same as with the preceding commit, git-fast-import(1) is using the safe
variant to initialize a hashfile checkpoint. This leads to a segfault

Our CI jobs sometimes see false positive leaks like this:

This is not a leak in our code, but appears to be a race between one
thread calling exit() while another one is in LSan's stack setup code.
You can reproduce it easily by running t0003 or t5309 with --stress
(these trigger it because of the threading in git-grep and index-pack
respectively).

This may be a bug in LSan, but regardless of whether it is eventually
fixed, it is useful to work around it so that we stop seeing these false
positives.

We can recognize it by the mention of the sanitizer functions in the
DEDUP_TOKEN line. With this patch, the scripts mentioned above should
run with --stress indefinitely.

When trying to create a Unix socket in a path that exceeds the maximum
socket name length we try to first change the directory into the parent
folder before creating the socket to reduce the length of the name. When
this fails we error out of `unix_sockaddr_init()` with an error code,
which indicates to the caller that the context has not been initialized.
Consequently, they don't release that context.

This leads to a memory leak: when we have already populated the context
with the original directory that we need to chdir(3p) back into, but
then the chdir(3p) into the socket's parent directory fails, then we
won't release the original directory's path. The leak is exposed by
t0301, but only via Meson with `meson setup -Dsanitize=leak`:

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 5 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

As the `branch` variable may contain a string constant obtained from
parsing command line arguments we cannot free the leaking variable
directly. Instead, introduce a new `branch_to_free` variable that only
ever gets assigned the allocated string and free that one to plug the
leak.

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 5 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

As the `branch` variable may contain a string constant obtained from
parsing command line arguments we cannot free the leaking variable
directly. Instead, introduce a new `branch_to_free` variable that only
ever gets assigned the allocated string and free that one to plug the
leak.

It is unclear why the leak isn't flagged when running the test via our
Makefile.
