We're recently trying to upgrade to the current master of libgit2
in Cargo but we're unfortunately hitting a segfault in one of our
tests. This particular test is just a small smoke test that https
works (e.g. it's configured in libgit2). It attempts to clone
from a URL which simply immediately drops connections after
they're accepted (e.g. terminate abnormally). We expect to see a
standard error from libgit2 but unfortunately we're seeing a
segfault.
This segfault is happening inside of the `wait_for` function of
`curl_stream.c` at the line `FD_SET(fd, &errfd)` because `fd` is
-1. This ends up doing an out-of-bounds array access that faults
the program. I tracked back to where this -1 came from to the
line here (returned by `CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET`) and added a check
to return an error.
The code correctly detects that forced creation of a branch on a
nonbare repo should not be able to overwrite a branch which is
the HEAD reference. But there's no reason to prevent this on
a bare repo, and in fact, git allows this. I.e.,
git branch -f master new_sha
works on a bare repo with HEAD set to master. This change fixes
that problem, and updates tests so that, for this case, both the
bare and nonbare cases are checked for correct behavior.
We need to include the initialisation and construction functions in all
backend, so we include this header when building against SecureTransport
and WinHTTP as well.
In `pack_entry_find_offset`, we try to find the offset of a
certain object in the pack file. To do so, we first assert if the
packfile has already been opened and open it if not. Opening the
packfile is guarded with a mutex, so concurrent access to this is
in fact safe.
What is not thread-safe though is our calculation of offsets
inside the packfile. Assume two threads calling
`pack_entry_find_offset` at the same time. We first calculate the
offset and index location and only then determine if the pack has
already been opened. If so, we re-calculate the offset and index
address.
Now the case for two threads: thread 1 first calculates the
addresses and is subsequently suspended. The second thread will
now call `pack_index_open` and initialize the pack file,
calculating its addresses correctly. When the first thread is
resumed now, he'll see that the pack file has already been
initialized and will happily proceed with the addresses it has
already calculated before the check. As the pack file was not
initialized before, these addresses are bogus.
Fix the issue by only calculating the addresses after having
checked if the pack file is open.
Exercise the logic surrounding deinitialization of the libgit2
library as well as repeated concurrent de- and reinitialization.
This tries to catch races and makes sure that it is possible to
reinitialize libgit2 multiple times.
After deinitializing libgit2, we have to make sure to setup
options required for testing. Currently, this only includes
setting up the configuration search path again. Before, this has
been set up once in `tests/main.c`.
When threading is not enabled for libgit2, we keep global state
in a simple static variable. When libgit2 is shut down, we clean
up the global state by freeing the global state's dynamically
allocated memory. When libgit2 is built with threading, we
additionally free the thread-local storage and thus completely
remove the global state. In a non-threaded build, though, we
simply leave the global state as-is, which may result in an error
upon reinitializing libgit2.
Fix the issue by zeroing out the variable on a shutdown, thus
returning it to its initial state.
When trying to initialize and tear down global data structures
from different threads at once with `git_libgit2_init` and
`git_libgit2_shutdown`, we race around initializing data. While
we use `pthread_once` to assert that we only initilize data a
single time, we actually reset the `pthread_once_t` on the last
call to `git_libgit2_shutdown`. As resetting this variable is not
synchronized with other threads trying to access it, this is
actually racy when one thread tries to do a complete shutdown of
libgit2 while another thread tries to initialize it.
Fix the issue by creating a mutex which synchronizes `init_once`
and the library shutdown.
Our valgrind jobs haven't been failing for several builds by now.
This indicates that our tests are sufficiently stable when
running under valgrind. As such, any failures reported by
valgrind become interesting to us and shouldn't be ignored when
causing a build to fail.
Remove the valgrind job from the list of allowed failures.
When running a Coverity build, we have to provide an
authentication token in order to proof that we are actually
allowed to run analysis in the name of a certain project. As this
token should be secret, it is only set on the main repository, so
when we were requested to run the Coverity script on another
repository we do error out. But in fact we do also error out if
the Coverity analysis should _not_ be run if there is no
authentication token provided.
Fix the issue by only checking for the authentication token after
determining if analysis is indeed requested.
The `git_pqueue` struct allows being fixed in its total number of
entries. In this case, we simply throw away items that are
inserted into the priority queue by examining wether the new item
to be inserted has a higher priority than the previous smallest
one.
This feature somewhat contradicts our pqueue implementation in
that it is allowed to not have a comparison function. In fact, we
also fail to check if the comparison function is actually set in
the case where we add a new item into a fully filled fixed-size
pqueue.
As we cannot determine which item is the smallest item in absence
of a comparison function, we fix the `NULL` pointer dereference
by simply dropping all new items which are about to be inserted
into a full fixed-size pqueue.
We used to only execute Coverity analysis on the 'development'
branch before commit 998f001 (Refine build limitation,
2014-01-15), which refined Coverity build limitations. While we
do not really use the 'development' branch anymore, it does
still make sense to only analyze a single branch, as otherwise
Coverity might get confused.
Re-establish the restriction such that we only analyze libgit2's
'master' branch. Also fix the message announcing why we do not
actually analyze a certain build.
