Jeff King ca06f0fe5d chunk-format: drop pair_chunk_unsafe()
There are no callers left, and we don't want anybody to add new ones (they
should use the not-unsafe version instead). So let's drop the function.

Jeff King c9b9fefc13 midx: enforce chunk alignment on reading
The midx reader assumes chunks are aligned to a 4-byte boundary: we
treat the fanout chunk as an array of uint32_t, indexing it to feed the
results to ntohl(). Without aligning the chunks, we may violate the
CPU's alignment constraints. Though many platforms allow this, some do
not. And certanily UBSan will complain, since it is undefined behavior.

Even though most chunks are naturally 4-byte-aligned (because they are
storing uint32_t or larger types), PNAM is not. It stores NUL-terminated
pack names, so you can have a valid chunk with any length. The writing
side handles this by 4-byte-aligning the chunk, introducing a few extra
NULs as necessary. But since we don't check this on the reading side, we
may end up with a misaligned fanout and trigger the undefined behavior.

We have two options here:

  1. Swap out ntohl(fanout[i]) for get_be32(fanout+i) everywhere. The
     latter handles alignment itself. It's possible that it's slightly
     slower (though in practice I'm not sure how true that is,
     especially for these code paths which then go on to do a binary
     search).

  2. Enforce the alignment when reading the chunks. This is easy to do,
     since the table-of-contents reader can check it in one spot.

I went with the second option here, just because it places less burden
on maintenance going forward (it is OK to continue using ntohl), and we
know it can't have any performance impact on the actual reads.

The commit-graph code uses the same chunk API. It's usually also 4-byte
aligned, but some chunks are not (like Bloom filter BDAT chunks). So
we'll pass "1" here to allow any alignment. It doesn't suffer from the
same problem as midx with its fanout because the fanout chunk is always
the first (and the rest of the format dictates that the first chunk will
start aligned).

The new test shows the effect on a midx with a misaligned PNAM chunk.
Note that the midx-reading code treats chunk-toc errors as soft, falling
back to the non-midx path rather than calling die(), as we do for other
parsing errors. Arguably we should make all of these behave the same,
but that's out of scope for this patch. For now the test just expects
the fallback behavior.

Jeff King 570b8b8836 chunk-format: note that pair_chunk() is unsafe
The pair_chunk() function is provided as an easy helper for parsing
chunks that just want a pointer to a set of bytes. But every caller has
a hidden bug: because we return only the pointer without the matching
chunk size, the callers have no clue how many bytes they are allowed to
look at. And as a result, they may read off the end of the mmap'd data
when the on-disk file does not match their expectations.

Since chunk files are typically used for local-repository data like
commit-graph files and midx's, the security implications here are pretty
mild. The worst that can happen is that you hand somebody a corrupted
repository tarball, and running Git on it does an out-of-bounds read and
crashes. So it's worth being more defensive, but we don't need to drop
everything and fix every caller immediately.

I noticed the problem because the pair_chunk_fn() callback does not look
at its chunk_size argument, and wanted to annotate it to silence
-Wunused-parameter. We could do that now, but we'd lose the hint that
this code should be audited and fixed.

So instead, let's set ourselves up for going down that path:

  1. Provide a pair_chunk() function that does return the size, which
     prepares us for fixing these cases.

  2. Rename the existing function to pair_chunk_unsafe(). That gives us
     an easy way to grep for cases which still need to be fixed, and the
     name should cause anybody adding new calls to think twice before
     using it.

There are no callers of the "safe" version yet, but we'll add some in
subsequent patches.

Elijah Newren d1cbe1e6d8 hash-ll.h: split out of hash.h to remove dependency on repository.h
hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and
use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo).  However,
most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout
of the structs like object_id.  Move the parts of hash.h that do not
depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level"
parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.

This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers.  It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was
brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously
implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be
more explicit about what they depend upon.

Elijah Newren f332121e75 treewide: remove unnecessary git-compat-util.h includes in headers
For sanity, we should probably do one of the following:

(a) make C and header files both depend upon everything they need
(b) consistently exclude git-compat-util.h from headers and require it
    be the first include in C files

Currently, we have some of the headers following (a) and others
following (b), which makes things messy.  In the past I was pushed
towards (b), as per [1] and [2].  Further, during this series I
discovered that this mixture empirically will mean that we end up with C
files that do not directly include git-compat-util.h, and do include
headers that don't include git-compat-util.h, with the result that we
likely have headers included before an indirect inclusion of
git-compat-util.h.  Since git-compat-util.h has tricky platform-specific
stuff that is meant to be included before everything else, this state of
affairs is risky and may lead to things breaking in subtle ways (and
only on some platforms) as per [1] and [2].

Since including git-compat-util.h in existing header files makes it
harder for us to catch C files that are missing that include, let's
switch to (b) to make the enforcement of this rule easier.  Remove the
inclusion of git-compat-util.h from header files other than the ones
that have been approved as alternate first includes.

Taylor Blau d9fef9d90d chunk-format.h: extract oid_version()
There are three definitions of an identical function which converts
`the_hash_algo` into either 1 (for SHA-1) or 2 (for SHA-256). There is a
copy of this function for writing both the commit-graph and
multi-pack-index file, and another inline definition used to write the
.rev header.

Consolidate these into a single definition in chunk-format.h. It's not
clear that this is the best header to define this function in, but it
should do for now.

(Worth noting, the .rev caller expects a 4-byte unsigned, but the other
two callers work with a single unsigned byte. The consolidated version
uses the latter type, and lets the compiler widen it when required).

Another caller will be added in a subsequent patch.

Derrick Stolee 5f0879f54b chunk-format: create read chunk API
Add the capability to read the table of contents, then pair the chunks
with necessary logic using read_chunk_fn pointers. Callers will be added
in future changes, but the typical outline will be:

 1. initialize a 'struct chunkfile' with init_chunkfile(NULL).
 2. call read_table_of_contents().
 3. for each chunk to parse,
    a. call pair_chunk() to assign a pointer with the chunk position, or
    b. call read_chunk() to run a callback on the chunk start and size.
 4. call free_chunkfile() to clear the 'struct chunkfile' data.

We are re-using the anonymous 'struct chunkfile' data, as it is internal
to the chunk-format API. This gives it essentially two modes: write and
read. If the same struct instance was used for both reads and writes,
then there would be failures.

Derrick Stolee 570df42610 chunk-format: create chunk format write API
In anticipation of combining the logic from the commit-graph and
multi-pack-index file formats, create a new chunk-format API. Use a
'struct chunkfile' pointer to keep track of data that has been
registered for writes. This struct is anonymous outside of
chunk-format.c to ensure no user attempts to interfere with the data.

The next change will use this API in commit-graph.c, but the general
approach is:

 1. initialize the chunkfile with init_chunkfile(f).
 2. add chunks in the intended writing order with add_chunk().
 3. write any header information to the hashfile f.
 4. write the chunkfile data using write_chunkfile().
 5. free the chunkfile struct using free_chunkfile().
