got-read-gitconfig: send key-value pairs for extensions

Most extension allow only for a boolean value so the current behaviour of just sending the extension with a trueish value is fine. However, some extensions that we could eventually support (like "objectformat") have a string value. This is a preparatory step towards that. ok stsp@


Thomas Adam

replace got_repo_get_gitconfig_extensions with got_repo_has_extension

got_repo_get_gitconfig_extensions is only used in gotadmin to check if the preciousObjects extension is active; let's replace it with a function that just checks whether a certain extension is active. It simplifies future changes to the extensions handling. ok stsp@

got: minor refactor of got_pathlist_free() API

Accept flag parameter to optionally specify which pointers to free. This saves callers looping through the list to free pointers. ok + fix stsp@



Thomas Adam

use sub-second precision when checking for objects/pack/ modification

Convert from st.m_time (second-precision time_t) to st.m_tim (struct timespec). To compensate for the potential case where a filesystem provides resolution in seconds only, always read the directory if no pack files are known to exist. Otherwise, there is a race condition when gotd repo_write creates a new pack and a request arrives for repo_read shortly after. Caught by a regression test for gotd on empty repositories. Test failure pointed out by Mikhail. ok op@




Thomas Adam

check size before calling mmap(2)

It's only a preparatory step, as checking whether a size_t is less than SIZE_MAX is moot. In a follow-up commit, however, the `filesize' field of the struct got_pack will become off_t and these checks will kick in. This also makes consistent how we guard mmap(2) against empty files. ok and improvements stsp@

introduce gotd(8), a Git repository server reachable via ssh(1)

This is an initial barebones implementation which provides the absolute minimum of functionality required to serve got(1) and git(1) clients. Basic fetch/send functionality has been tested and seems to work here, but this server is not yet expected to be stable. More testing is welcome. See the man pages for setup instructions. The current design uses one reader and one writer process per repository, which will have to be extended to N readers and N writers in the future. At startup, each process will chroot(2) into its assigned repository. This works because gotd(8) can only be started as root, and will then fork+exec, chroot, and privdrop. At present the parent process runs with the following pledge(2) promises: "stdio rpath wpath cpath proc getpw sendfd recvfd fattr flock unix unveil" The parent is the only process able to modify the repository in a way that becomes visible to Git clients. The parent uses unveil(2) to restrict its view of the filesystem to /tmp and the repositories listed in the configuration file gotd.conf(5). Per-repository chroot(2) processes use "stdio rpath sendfd recvfd". The writer defers to the parent for modifying references in the repository to point at newly uploaded commits. The reader is fine without such help, because Git repositories can be read without having to create any lock-files. gotd(8) requires a dedicated user ID, which should own repositories on the filesystem, and a separate secondary group, which should not have filesystem-level repository access, and must be allowed access to the gotd(8) socket. To obtain Git repository access, users must be members of this secondary group, and must have their login shell set to gotsh(1). gotsh(1) connects to the gotd(8) socket and speaks Git-protocol towards the client on the other end of the SSH connection. gotsh(1) is not an interactive command shell. At present, authenticated clients are granted read/write access to all repositories and all references (except for the "refs/got/" and the "refs/remotes/" namespaces, which are already being protected from modification). While complicated access control mechanism are not a design goal, making it possible to safely offer anonymous Git repository access over ssh(1) is on the road map.

refresh cached list of pack index paths while searching a packed object

Previously, this list was only refreshed while trying to match an object ID prefix. Regular pack file access needs to refresh this list, too. In particular, future gotd(8) needs this to ensure that newly uploaded packfiles are picked up as expected.


Thomas Adam

move code for reading Git's config file into new file read_gitconfig_privsep.c

The end goal here is to remove the dependency of repository.c on privsep.c during compilation.


Thomas Adam

add gotadmin init -b <branch> to specify repo head ref

Similar to `git init -b`. Includes a change to `got import` behaviour such that "main" is no longer hardcoded by default; instead, we import to the branch resolved via the repository's HEAD reference unless `got import -b` is used, and only if HEAD cannot be resolved to a branch do we fallback to "main". includes fix plus ok from stsp@



Thomas Adam

plug mem leak in got_repo_pack_fds_open

pack_fds_tmp is not always free'd. However, while here, simplify it to not use a temporary array. ok stsp@


Thomas Adam

plug a leak in match_loose_object

in the loop of match_loose_object we allocate a string per directory entry that in some case it was free(3)'d before `continue' or `goto', but not always. Instead, use a more common idiom. ok stsp@





Thomas Adam

read_gitconfig: fix GOT_IGNORE_GITCONFIG case

set gitconfig_remotes to NULL to avoid a double-free, and reset the global author name/email fields too. ok stsp@

got_repo_pack_fds_close: don't close(0)

got_repo_pack_fds_close will try to close all of the GOT_PACK_NUM_TEMPFILES fds, even the ones that didn't manage to get a value from got_opentempfd(), which would result in a close(0) if we do not initialize to -1 here.


Thomas Adam

Make sure got_repo_pack_fds_close() frees a malloc'ed pointer.

Found by llvm's scan-build (bad free). OK stsp

Don't chug along if repo format version is unsupported.
