Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make me think "lean and mean". With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on failure) unnecessarily. So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os": Before: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 700460 15160 292184 1007804 f60bc git After: [torvalds@woody git]$ size git text data bss dec hex filename 670540 15160 292184 977884 eebdc git so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint). It might conceivably have a performance impact, but none of this should be _that_ performance critical. The real cost is not generally in the wrapper anyway, but in the code it wraps (ie the cost of "xread()" is all in the read itself, not in the trivial wrapping of it).

It might conceivably have a performance impact, but none of this should be _that_ performance critical. The real cost is not generally in the wrapper anyway, but in the code it wraps (ie the cost of "xread()" is all in the read itself, not in the trivial wrapping of it).

xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with: error: read from external filter cat failed error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat error: cat died of signal 13 error: external filter cat failed 141 error: external filter cat failed The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction [2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the 32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write, the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a]. Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on performance. The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The new test catches read and write problems. Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use test_must_fail.

Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make me think "lean and mean". With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on failure) unnecessarily.

Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text section was pretty high.

config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOME The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files, 2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been minimal. Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root", creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems: 1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other proposal that they have to opt into). 2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges, either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed). 3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are not caught. This patch is of type (3). Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at all. An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private. This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors), nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems other than permissions.

config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOME The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files, 2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been minimal. Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root", creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems: 1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other proposal that they have to opt into). 2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges, either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work (e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed). 3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are not caught. This patch is of type (3). Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at all. An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private. This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors), nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems other than permissions.

avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11). So checking anything except "was the return value negative" is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do so: 1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your "len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant. This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed recently in config.c). We should avoid promoting the mental model that you need to check the length at all, so that new sites are not tempted to copy us. 2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type, especially when the length is an expression. 3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full() users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full() semantics were changed, he wrote: I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones. Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that writing it this way does not have an intentional benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly cargo-culted into new sites). So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for write_in_full()). [1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is _larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken version of write(), it would already invoke undefined behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.
