@nalla thank you for testing, and also for pointing out my mistake. This makes Git for Windows better!

We turn off ASan's leak detection by default in the test
suite because it's too noisy. But we don't do so until
part-way through test-lib. This is before we've run any
tests, but after we do our initial "./git" to see if the
binary has even been built.

When built with clang, this seems to work fine. However,
using "gcc -fsanitize=address", the leak checker seems to
complain more aggressively:

  $ ./git
  ...
  ==5352==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks
  Direct leak of 2 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
      #0 0x7f120e7afcf8 in malloc (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasan.so.3+0xc1cf8)
      #1 0x559fc2a3ce41 in do_xmalloc /home/peff/compile/git/wrapper.c:60

      #7 0x7f120dabd2b0 in __libc_start_main (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6+0x202b0)

This is a leak in the sense that we never free it, but it's
in a global that is meant to last the whole program. So it's
not really interesting or in need of fixing. And at any
rate, mentioning leaks outside of the test_expect blocks is
certainly unwelcome, as it pollutes stderr.

Let's bump the setting of ASAN_OPTIONS higher in test-lib.sh
to catch our initial "can we even run git?" test.  While
we're at it, we can add a comment to make it a bit less
inscrutable.

This is to address concerns raised by ThreadSanitizer on the mailing list
about threaded unprotected R/W access to map.size with my previous "disallow
rehash" change (0607e10).

See:
https://public-inbox.org/git/adb37b70139fd1e2bac18bfd22c8b96683ae18eb.1502780344.git.martin.agren@gmail.com/

Add API to hashmap to disable item counting and thus automatic rehashing.
Also include API to later re-enable them.

When item counting is disabled, the map.size field is invalid.  So to
prevent accidents, the field has been renamed and an accessor function
hashmap_get_size() has been added.  All direct references to this
field have been been updated.  And the name of the field changed
to map.private_size to communicate this.

Here is the relevant output from ThreadSanitizer showing the problem:

Dependencies such as cURL and OpenSSL are necessary to build and run
Git. Previously, we obtained those dependencies by fetching NuGet
packages.

However, it is notoriously hard to keep NuGet packages of C/C++
libraries up-to-date, as the toolsets for different Visual Studio
versions are different, and the NuGet packages would have to ship them
all.

That is the reason why the NuGet packages we use are quite old, and even
insecure in the case of cURL and OpenSSL (the versions contain known
security flaws that have been addressed by later versions for which no
NuGet packages are available).

The better way to handle this situation is to use the vcpkg system:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

The idea is that a single Git repository contains enough supporting
files to build up-to-date versions of a large number of Open Source
libraries on demand, including cURL and OpenSSL.

We integrate this system via four new .bat files to

1) initialize the vcpkg system,
2) build the packages,
4) set up Git's Makefile system to find the build artifacts, and
3) copy the artifacts into the top-level directory

We now also completely convert the pathname exported in the
%msvc_bin_dir_msys% variable to MSYS format with forward slashes rather
than a mixture of forward and back slashes.

write_commit_graph initialises topo_levels using init_topo_level_slab(),
next it calls compute_topological_levels() which can cause the slab to
grow, we therefore need to clear the slab again using
clear_topo_level_slab() when we're done.

First introduced in 72a2bfc (commit-graph: add a slab to store
topological levels, 2021-01-16).

In a sparse index it is possible for the tree that is being verified
to be freed while it is being verified. This happens when the index is
sparse but the cache tree is not and index_name_pos() looks up a path
from the cache tree that is a descendant of a sparse index entry. That
triggers a call to ensure_full_index() which frees the cache tree that
is being verified.  Carrying on trying to verify the tree after this
results in a use-after-free bug. Instead restart the verification if a
sparse index is converted to a full index. This bug is triggered by a
call to reset_head() in "git rebase --apply". Thanks to René Scharfe
and Derrick Stolee for their help analyzing the problem.

When I was playing around with trace2 data and creating flamegraphs, I tried a `git fetch` call to see how the `git-remote-https` command would show up. What I didn't expect was an `ensure_full_index()` region!

It turns out that `git fetch` and `git pull` need to check the index for a `.gitmodules` file to see if it should recurse into any submodules. Here is the stack trace from a debugger:

The operations these commands use are guarded by items such as `index_name_pos()` and others. Since the `.gitmodules` file is always at root, we would not need to expand, anyway.

In a sparse index it is possible for the tree that is being verified
to be freed while it is being verified. This happens when the index is
sparse but the cache tree is not and index_name_pos() looks up a path
from the cache tree that is a descendant of a sparse index entry. That
triggers a call to ensure_full_index() which frees the cache tree that
is being verified.  Carrying on trying to verify the tree after this
results in a use-after-free bug. Instead restart the verification if a
sparse index is converted to a full index. This bug is triggered by a
call to reset_head() in "git rebase --apply". Thanks to René Scharfe
and Derrick Stolee for their help analyzing the problem.

When fetching packfiles, we write a bunch of lockfiles for the packfiles
we're writing into the repository. In order to not leave behind any
cruft in case we exit or receive a signal, we register both an exit
handler as well as signal handlers for common signals like SIGINT. These
handlers will then unlink the locks and free the data structure tracking
them. We have observed a deadlock in this logic though:

    (gdb) bt
    #0  __lll_lock_wait_private () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S:95

    #19 0x00000000004078b5 in main ()

The process was killed with a signal, which caused the signal handler to
kick in and try free the data structures after we have unlinked the
locks. It then deadlocks while calling free(3P).

The root cause of this is that it is not allowed to call certain
functions in async-signal handlers, as specified by signal-safety(7).
Next to most I/O functions, this list of disallowed functions also
includes memory-handling functions like malloc(3P) and free(3P) because
they may not be reentrant. As a result, if we execute such functions in
the signal handler, then they may operate on inconistent state and fail
in unexpected ways.

Fix this bug by not calling non-async-signal-safe functions when running
in the signal handler. We're about to re-raise the signal anyway and
will thus exit, so it's not much of a problem to keep the string list of
lockfiles untouched. Note that it's fine though to call unlink(2), so
we'll still clean up the lockfiles correctly.

When I was playing around with trace2 data and creating flamegraphs, I tried a `git fetch` call to see how the `git-remote-https` command would show up. What I didn't expect was an `ensure_full_index()` region!

It turns out that `git fetch` and `git pull` need to check the index for a `.gitmodules` file to see if it should recurse into any submodules. Here is the stack trace from a debugger:

When trying to write a MIDX, we already prevent the case where there
weren't any packs present, and thus we would have written an empty MIDX.

But there is another "empty" case, which is more interesting, and we
don't yet handle. If we try to write a MIDX which has at least one pack,
but those packs together don't contain any objects, we will encounter a
BUG() when trying to use the bitmap corresponding to that MIDX, like so:

    $ git rev-parse HEAD | git pack-objects --revs --use-bitmap-index --stdout >/dev/null
    BUG: pack-revindex.c:394: pack_pos_to_midx: out-of-bounds object at 0

(note that in the above reproduction, both `--use-bitmap-index` and
`--stdout` are important, since without the former we won't even both to
load the .bitmap, and without the latter we wont attempt pack reuse).

The problem occurs when we try to discover the identity of the
preferred pack to determine which range if any of existing packs we can
reuse verbatim. This path is: `reuse_packfile_objects()` ->
`reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()` -> `midx_preferred_pack()`.

    #4  0x000055555575401f in pack_pos_to_midx (m=0x555555997160, pos=0) at pack-revindex.c:394
    #5  0x00005555557502c8 in midx_preferred_pack (bitmap_git=0x55555599c280) at pack-bitmap.c:1431
    #6  0x000055555575036c in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap (bitmap_git=0x55555599c280, packfile_out=0x5555559666b0 <reuse_packfile>,
        entries=0x5555559666b8 <reuse_packfile_objects>, reuse_out=0x5555559666c0 <reuse_packfile_bitmap>) at pack-bitmap.c:1452
    #7  0x00005555556041f6 in get_object_list_from_bitmap (revs=0x7fffffffcbf0) at builtin/pack-objects.c:3658
    #8  0x000055555560465c in get_object_list (ac=2, av=0x555555997050) at builtin/pack-objects.c:3765
    #9  0x0000555555605e4e in cmd_pack_objects (argc=0, argv=0x7fffffffe920, prefix=0x0) at builtin/pack-objects.c:4154

Since neither the .bitmap or MIDX stores the identity of the
preferred pack, we infer it by trying to load the first object in
pseudo-pack order, and then asking the MIDX which pack was chosen to
represent that object.

But this fails our bounds check, since there are zero objects in the
MIDX to begin with, which results in the BUG().

We could catch this more carefully in `midx_preferred_pack()`, but
signaling the absence of a preferred pack out to all of its callers is
somewhat awkward.

Instead, let's avoid writing a MIDX .bitmap without any objects
altogether. We catch this case in `write_midx_internal()`, and emit a
warning if the caller indicated they wanted to write a bitmap before
clearing out the relevant flags. If we somehow got to
write_midx_bitmap(), then we will call BUG(), but this should now be an
unreachable path.

In the preceding [1] (pack-objects: move revs out of

	SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 7120 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
	Aborted

Narrowly fixing that commit would have been easy, just add call
repo_init_revisions() right before get_object_list(), which is
effectively what was done before that commit.

But an unstated constraint when setting it up early is that it was
needed for the subsequent [2] (pack-objects: parse --filter directly
into revs.filter, 2022-03-22), i.e. we might have a --filter
command-line option, and need to either have the "struct rev_info"
setup when we encounter that option, or later.

Let's just change the control flow so that we'll instead set up the
"struct rev_info" only when we need it. Doing so leads to a bit more
verbosity, but it's a lot clearer what we're doing and why.

An earlier version of this commit[3] went behind
opt_parse_list_objects_filter()'s back by faking up a "struct option"
before calling it. Let's avoid that and instead create a blessed API
for this pattern.

We could furthermore combine the two get_object_list() invocations
here by having repo_init_revisions() invoked on &pfd.revs, but I think
clearly separating the two makes the flow clearer. Likewise
redundantly but explicitly (i.e. redundant v.s. a "{ 0 }") "0" to
"have_revs" early in cmd_pack_objects().

While we're at it add parentheses around the arguments to the OPT_*
macros in in list-objects-filter-options.h, as we need to change those
lines anyway. It doesn't matter in this case, but is good general
practice.

Since commit fcc07e9 (is_promisor_object(): free tree buffer after
parsing, 2021-04-13), we'll always free the buffers attached to a
"struct tree" after searching them for promisor links. But there's an
important case where we don't want to do so: if somebody else is already
using the tree!

This can happen during a "rev-list --missing=allow-promisor" traversal
in a partial clone that is missing one or more trees or blobs. The
backtrace for the free looks like this:

      #1 free_tree_buffer tree.c:147
      #2 add_promisor_object packfile.c:2250
      #3 for_each_object_in_pack packfile.c:2190
      #4 for_each_packed_object packfile.c:2215
      #5 is_promisor_object packfile.c:2272
      #6 finish_object__ma builtin/rev-list.c:245
      #7 finish_object builtin/rev-list.c:261
      #8 show_object builtin/rev-list.c:274
      #9 process_blob list-objects.c:63
      #10 process_tree_contents list-objects.c:145
      #11 process_tree list-objects.c:201
      #12 traverse_trees_and_blobs list-objects.c:344
      [...]

We're in the middle of walking through the entries of a tree object via
process_tree_contents(). We see a blob (or it could even be another tree
entry) that we don't have, so we call is_promisor_object() to check it.
That function loops over all of the objects in the promisor packfile,
including the tree we're currently walking. When we're done with it
there, we free the tree buffer. But as we return to the walk in
process_tree_contents(), it's still holding on to a pointer to that
buffer, via its tree_desc iterator, and it accesses the freed memory.

Even a trivial use of "--missing=allow-promisor" triggers this problem,
as the included test demonstrates (it's just a vanilla --blob:none
clone).

We can detect this case by only freeing the tree buffer if it was
allocated on our behalf. This is a little tricky since that happens
inside parse_object(), and it doesn't tell us whether the object was
already parsed, or whether it allocated the buffer itself. But by
checking for an already-parsed tree beforehand, we can distinguish the
two cases.

That feels a little hacky, and does incur an extra lookup in the
object-hash table. But that cost is fairly minimal compared to actually
loading objects (and since we're iterating the whole pack here, we're
likely to be loading most objects, rather than reusing cached results).

It may also be a good direction for this function in general, as there
are other possible optimizations that rely on doing some analysis before
parsing:

  - we could detect blobs and avoid reading their contents; they can't
    link to other objects, but parse_object() doesn't know that we don't
    care about checking their hashes.

  - we could avoid allocating object structs entirely for most objects
    (since we really only need them in the oidset), which would save
    some memory.

  - promisor commits could use the commit-graph rather than loading the
    object from disk

This commit doesn't do any of those optimizations, but I think it argues
that this direction is reasonable, rather than relying on parse_object()
and trying to teach it to give us more information about whether it
parsed.

The included test fails reliably under SANITIZE=address just when
running "rev-list --missing=allow-promisor". Checking the output isn't
strictly necessary to detect the bug, but it seems like a reasonable
addition given the general lack of coverage for "allow-promisor" in the
test suite.

In the tmp-objdir api, tmp_objdir_create will create a temporary
directory but also register signal handlers responsible for removing
the directory's contents and the directory itself. However, the
function responsible for recursively removing the contents and
directory, remove_dir_recurse() calls opendir(3) and closedir(3).
This can be problematic because these functions allocate and free
memory, which are not async-signal-safe functions. This can lead to
deadlocks.

One place we call tmp_objdir_create() is in git-receive-pack, where
we create a temporary quarantine directory "incoming". Incoming
objects will be written to this directory before they get moved to
the object directory.

We have observed this code leading to a deadlock:

Since we can't do the cleanup in a portable and signal-safe way, skip
the cleanup when we're handling a signal.

This means that when signal handling, the temporary directory may not
get cleaned up properly. This is mitigated by b3cecf4 (tmp-objdir: new
API for creating temporary writable databases, 2021-12-06) which changed
the default name and allows gc to clean up these temporary directories.

In the event of a normal exit, we should still be cleaning up via the
atexit() handler.

There is an out-of-bounds read possible when parsing gitattributes that
have an attribute that is 2^31+1 bytes long. This is caused due to an
integer overflow when we assign the result of strlen(3P) to an `int`,
where we use the wrapped-around value in a subsequent call to
memcpy(3P). The following code reproduces the issue:

    blob=$(perl -e 'print "a" x 2147483649 . " attr"' | git hash-object -w --stdin)
    git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$blob,.gitattributes

Fix this bug by using `size_t` instead to count the number of attributes
so that this value cannot reasonably overflow without running out of
memory before already.

When using a padding specifier in the pretty format passed to git-log(1)
we need to calculate the string length in several places. These string
lengths are stored in `int`s though, which means that these can easily
overflow when the input lengths exceeds 2GB. This can ultimately lead to
an out-of-bounds write when these are used in a call to memcpy(3P):

The pretty format can also be used in `git archive` operations via the
`export-subst` attribute. So this is what in our opinion makes this a
critical issue in the context of Git forges which allow to download an
archive of user supplied Git repositories.

Fix this vulnerability by using `size_t` instead of `int` to track the
string lengths. Add tests which detect this vulnerability when Git is
compiled with the address sanitizer.

With the `%>>(<N>)` pretty formatter, you can ask git-log(1) et al to
steal spaces. To do so we need to look ahead of the next token to see
whether there are spaces there. This loop takes into account ANSI
sequences that end with an `m`, and if it finds any it will skip them
until it finds the first space. While doing so it does not take into
account the buffer's limits though and easily does an out-of-bounds
read.

Add a test that hits this behaviour. While we don't have an easy way to
verify this, the test causes the following failure when run with
`SANITIZE=address`:

Luckily enough, this would only cause us to copy the out-of-bounds data
into the formatted commit in case we really had an ANSI sequence
preceding our buffer. So this bug likely has no security consequences.

Fix it regardless by not traversing past the buffer's start.

An out-of-bounds read can be triggered when parsing an incomplete
padding format string passed via `--pretty=format` or in Git archives
when files are marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

This bug exists since we have introduced support for truncating output
via the `trunc` keyword a7f01c6 (pretty: support truncating in %>, %<
and %><, 2013-04-19). Before this commit, we used to find the end of the
formatting string by using strchr(3P). This function returns a `NULL`
pointer in case the character in question wasn't found. The subsequent
check whether any character was found thus simply checked the returned
pointer. After the commit we switched to strcspn(3P) though, which only
returns the offset to the first found character or to the trailing NUL
byte. As the end pointer is now computed by adding the offset to the
start pointer it won't be `NULL` anymore, and as a consequence the check
doesn't do anything anymore.

The out-of-bounds data that is being read can in fact end up in the
formatted string. As a consequence, it is possible to leak memory

Fix this bug by checking whether `end` points at the trailing NUL byte.
Add a test which catches this out-of-bounds read and which demonstrates
that we used to write out-of-bounds data into the formatted message.

The return type of both `utf8_strwidth()` and `utf8_strnwidth()` is
`int`, but we operate on string lengths which are typically of type
`size_t`. This means that when the string is longer than `INT_MAX`, we
will overflow and thus return a negative result.

This can lead to an out-of-bounds write with `--pretty=format:%<1)%B`
and a commit message that is 2^31+1 bytes long:

Now the proper fix for this would be to convert both functions to return
an `size_t` instead of an `int`. But given that this commit may be part
of a security release, let's instead do the minimal viable fix and die
in case we see an overflow.

Add a test that would have previously caused us to crash.

When "read_strategy_opts()" is called we may have populated the
"opts->strategy" before, so we'll need to free() it to avoid leaking
memory.

We populate it before because we cal get_replay_opts() from within
"rebase.c" with an already populated "opts", which we then copy. Then
if we're doing a "rebase -i" the sequencer API itself will promptly
clobber our alloc'd version of it with its own.

If this code is changed to do, instead of the added free() here a:

	if (opts->strategy)
		opts->strategy = xstrdup("another leak");

We get a couple of stacktraces from -fsanitize=leak showing how we
ended up clobbering the already allocated value, i.e.:

This can be seen in e.g. the 4th test of
"t3404-rebase-interactive.sh".

In the larger picture the ownership of the "struct replay_opts" is
quite a mess, e.g. in this case rebase.c's static "get_replay_opts()"
function partially creates it, but nothing in rebase.c will free()
it. The structure is "mostly owned" by the sequencer API, but it also
expects to get these partially populated versions of it.

It would be better to have rebase keep track of what it allocated, and
free() that, and to pass that as a "const" to the sequencer API, which
would copy what it needs to its own version, and to free() that.

But doing so is a much larger change, and however messy the ownership
boundary is here is consistent with what we're doing already, so let's
just free() this to fix the leak.

When t5583-push-branches.sh was originally introduced via 425b4d7
(push: introduce '--branches' option, 2023-05-06), it was not leak-free.
In fact, the test did not even run correctly until 022fbb6 (t5583:
fix shebang line, 2023-05-12), but after applying that patch, we see a
failure at t5583.8:

This leak was addressed independently via 68b5117 (commit-reach: fix
memory leak in get_reachable_subset(), 2023-06-03), which makes t5583
leak-free.

But t5583 was not in the tree when 68b5117 was written, and the two
only met after the latter was merged back in via 693bde4 (Merge
branch 'mh/commit-reach-get-reachable-plug-leak', 2023-06-20).

At that point, t5583 was leak-free. Let's mark it as such accordingly.

The t5309 script triggers a racy false positive with SANITIZE=leak on a
multi-core system. Running with "--stress --run=6" usually fails within
10 seconds or so for me, complaining with something like:

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 32 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
    Aborted

What happens is this:

  0. We construct a bogus pack with a duplicate object in it and trigger
     index-pack.

  1. We spawn a bunch of worker threads to resolve deltas (on my system
     it is 16 threads).

  2. One of the threads sees the duplicate object and bails by calling
     exit(), taking down all of the threads. This is expected and is the
     point of the test.

  3. At the time exit() is called, we may still be spawning threads from
     the main process via pthread_create(). LSan hooks thread creation
     to update its book-keeping; it has to know where each thread's
     stack is (so it can find entry points for reachable memory). So it
     calls pthread_getattr_np() to get information about the new thread.
     That may allocate memory that must be freed with a matching call to
     pthread_attr_destroy(). Probably LSan does that immediately, but
     if you're unlucky enough, the exit() will happen while it's between
     those two calls, and the allocated pthread_attr_t appears as a
     leak.

This isn't a real leak. It's not even in our code, but rather in the
LSan instrumentation code. So we could just ignore it. But the false
positive can cause people to waste time tracking it down.

It's possibly something that LSan could protect against (e.g., cover the
getattr/destroy pair with a mutex, and then in the final post-exit()
check for leaks try to take the same mutex). But I don't know enough
about LSan to say if that's a reasonable approach or not (or if my
analysis is even completely correct).

In the meantime, it's pretty easy to avoid the race by making creation
of the worker threads "atomic". That is, we'll spawn all of them before
letting any of them start to work. That's easy to do because we already
have a work_lock() mutex for handing out that work. If the main process
takes it, then all of the threads will immediately block until we've
finished spawning and released it.

This shouldn't make any practical difference for non-LSan runs. The
thread spawning is quick, and could happen before any worker thread gets
scheduled anyway.

Probably other spots that use threads are subject to the same issues.
But since we have to manually insert locking (and since this really is
kind of a hack), let's not bother with them unless somebody experiences
a similar racy false-positive in practice.

Memory sanitizer (msan) is detecting a use of an uninitialized variable
(`size`) in `read_attr_from_index`:

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.

The very bottom of the stack being the `rehash()` method from
`hashmap.c` as called within the `name-hash` API made me look at where
these hashmaps were being used in the sparse index logic. These were
being copied across indexes, which seems dangerous. Indeed, clearing
these hashmaps and setting them as not initialized fixes the segfault.

The second commit is a response to a test failure that happens in
`t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh` where `git stash pop` starts to
fail because the underlying `git checkout-index` process fails due to
colliding files. Passing the `-f` flag appears to work, but it's unclear
why this name-hash change causes that change in behavior.
