avoid a rename/stat race when gotd installs a new pack and then uses it

Reset the cached repository's pack directory mtime after installing a new pack and pack index file. I have observed the mtime of the pack directory as reported by stat(2) remaining unchanged, until some time has passed beyond the rename(2) calls used to install the pack file and its index. If gotd immediately tries to read objects installed in a new pack file then the mtime reported by stat(2) might appear as unchanged. gotd will then fail to update its cached list of pack index files and not find the newly installed objects. Clearing the cached timestamp forces a readdir(3) call which does expose the newly installed pack index file as expected. Not sure whether stat(2) is supposed to immediately expose mtime changes after a rename(2). If so then this might warrant digging into the kernel. Seen while running regression tests for upcoming gotd notification support.

remove unneded wbuf->fd = -1

There's no need to set the fd to -1 on ibufs created with imsg_create(3), and it was probably never needed.


Thomas Adam

convert to use imsg_get_fd()

While here also fix a fd leak in got-read-pack. We were dup'ing imsg.fd without closing imsg.fd later; instead just use imsg_get_fd() to extract the file descriptor. Tested by falsifian and Kyle Ackerman, thanks! 'go ahead' stsp@

portable: gotd/gitwrapper: update for libs

Bring gotd and gitwrapper closer to how libraries are detected.


Thomas Adam

portable: gotd: listen

Include listen.c; make it portable.


Thomas Adam

portable: enable compiling gotd

This enables gotd -- for now, this is opt-in at compile-time, via: ./configure --enable-gotd





Thomas Adam

portable: configure: split out dependencies

Rather than assume all dependencies are required for all programs, split them out. This will make packaging easier, as well as splitting the code to use subprojects. Note that due to the use of config.h semantics, in most cases the got_compat.h header file is now at the top of the .c file it is included in, so that it can handle the system header inclusion properly.

gotd: Fix more double process names

Patch by Josiah Frentsos, thanks!


Thomas Adam

add some helper functions to compute hashes

This adds a set of functions to abstract over SHA1Init, SHA1Update, SHA1Final, their respective SHA256 variants and how to compare digests. Replace all the SHA1*() usage with the new APIs. It's a preparatory step for sha256 handling. ok stsp@


Thomas Adam

portable: rework SHA detection

Simply the SHA detection by not predicating on libcrypto, but instead checking individual header files.


Thomas Adam

portable: remove sha1.h; found portably

Remove sha1.h as this is found portably across systems.


Thomas Adam

rename lib/sha1.c to lib/hash.c

It will soon grow functions to deal with sha256 too. stsp@ agrees.


Thomas Adam

include sha2.h too where sha1.h is included

In preparation for wide sha256 support; stsp@ agrees. Change done mechanically with find . -iname \*.[cy] -exec sam {} + X ,x/<sha1\.h>/i/\n#include <sha2.h>

do not expect to see a DISCONNECT message in repo processes

The parent no longer sends this message. Perform related cleanup in the shutdown path instead. ok op@


Thomas Adam

typo and style(9): do not use function calls in initialisers.

ok stsp@

gotd: implement the delete-refs capability

Allow clients to run "got send -d" against gotd. Clients will send a zero-id as new id for a reference and, in the special but more common case of just deleting and not updating, no pack file will be sent. ok and tweaks by stsp@

gotd: fix "bad packfile with zero objects" error while creating branches

Clients will send an empty pack file if they are only creating new references and have no objects to upload. Make gotd handle this and add a regression test which triggers the bug. Problem found by op@. The new regression test caught an unrelated issue where the client connection was left lingering after references had been updated, which made 'got send' followed by 'got clone -l' fail with the connection limit configured for the test suite (just one connection is allowed at a time). Fix this as well. ok op@


Thomas Adam

replace malloc+memcpy with strndup. no functional change intended

ok stsp@



Thomas Adam

add a gotd session process, split off from the parent process

The new session process is able to manipulate files in the repository and keeps track of the read/write client session state. The parent process now restricts its view of the filesystem to the absolute path stored in argv[0], and combines this with unveil "x" on this path. As a result the parent process can only re-exec itself. small tweaks + ok op@
