When rebuilding the multi-pack index file reusing an existing one,
we used to blindly trust the existing file and ended up carrying
corrupted data into the updated file, which has been corrected.
* tb/midx-use-checksum:
midx: report checksum mismatches during 'verify'
midx: don't reuse corrupt MIDXs when writing
commit-graph: rewrite to use checksum_valid()
csum-file: introduce checksum_valid()
Introduce a new function which checks the validity of a file's trailing
checksum. This is similar to hashfd_check(), but different since it is
intended to be used by callers who aren't writing the same data (like
`git index-pack --verify`), but who instead want to validate the
integrity of data that they are reading.
Rewrite the first of two callers which could benefit from this new
function in pack-check.c. Subsequent callers will be added in the
following patches.

The hashfile API uses a hard-coded buffer size of 8KB and has ever since
it was introduced in c38138c (git-pack-objects: write the pack files
with a SHA1 csum, 2005-06-26). It performs a similar function to the
hashing buffers in read-cache.c, but that code was updated from 8KB to
128KB in f279894 (read-cache: make the index write buffer size 128K,
2021-02-18). The justification there was that do_write_index() improves
from 1.02s to 0.72s. Since our end goal is to have the index writing
code use the hashfile API, we need to unify this buffer size to avoid a
performance regression.
There is a buffer, 'check_buffer', that is used to verify the check_fd
file descriptor. When this buffer increases to 128K to fit the data
being flushed, it causes the stack to overflow the limits placed in the
test suite. To avoid issues with stack size, move both 'buffer' and
'check_buffer' to be heap pointers within 'struct hashfile'. The
'check_buffer' member is left as NULL unless check_fd is set in
hashfd_check(). Both buffers are cleared as part of finalize_hashfile()
which also frees the full structure.
Since these buffers are now on the heap, we can adjust their size based
on the needs of the consumer. In particular, callers to
hashfd_throughput() are expecting to report progress indicators as the
buffer flushes. These callers would prefer the smaller 8k buffer to
avoid large delays between updates, especially for users with slower
networks. When the progress indicator is not used, the larger buffer is
preferrable.
By adding a new trace2 region in the chunk-format API, we can see that
the writing portion of 'git multi-pack-index write' lowers from ~1.49s
to ~1.47s on a Linux machine. These effects may be more pronounced or
diminished on other filesystems. The end-to-end timing is too noisy to
have a definitive change either way.

The flush() logic in csum-file.c was introduced originally by c38138c
(git-pack-objects: write the pack files with a SHA1 csum, 2005-06-26)
and a portion of the logic performs similar utility to write_in_full()
in wrapper.c. The history of write_in_full() is full of moves and
renames, but was originally introduced by 7230e6d (Add write_or_die(), a
helper function, 2006-08-21).
The point of these sections of code are to flush a write buffer using
xwrite() and report errors in the case of disk space issues or other
generic input/output errors. The logic in flush() can interpret the
output of write_in_full() to provide the correct error messages to
users.
The logic in the hashfile API has an additional set of logic to augment
the progress indicator between calls to xwrite(). This was introduced by
2a128d6 (add throughput display to git-push, 2007-10-30). It seems that
since the hashfile's buffer is only 8KB, these additional progress
indicators might not be incredibly necessary. Instead, update the
progress only when write_in_full() complete.

The hashwrite() method takes an input buffer and updates a hashfile's
hash function while writing the data to a file. To avoid overuse of
flushes, the hashfile has an internal buffer and most writes will use
memcpy() to transfer data from the input 'buf' to the hashfile's buffer
of size 8 * 1024 bytes.
Logic introduced by a8032d12 (sha1write: don't copy full sized buffers,
2008-09-02) reduces the number of memcpy() calls when the input buffer
is sufficiently longer than the hashfile's buffer, causing nr to be the
length of the full buffer. In these cases, the input buffer is used
directly in chunks equal to the hashfile's buffer size.
This method caught my attention while investigating some performance
issues, but it turns out that these performance issues were noise within
the variance of the experiment.
However, during this investigation, I inspected hashwrite() and
misunderstood it, even after looking closely and trying to make it
faster. This change simply reorganizes some parts of the loop within
hashwrite() to make it clear that each batch either uses memcpy() to the
hashfile's buffer or writes directly from the input buffer. The previous
code relied on indirection through local variables and essentially
inlined the implementation of hashflush() to reduce lines of code.

For all of our SHA-1 implementations and most of our SHA-256
implementations, the hash context we use is a real struct. For these
implementations, it's possible to copy a hash context by making a copy
of the struct.
However, for our libgcrypt implementation, our hash context is a
pointer. Consequently, copying it does not lead to an independent hash
context like we intended.
Fortunately, however, libgcrypt provides us with a handy function to
copy hash contexts. Let's add a cloning function to the hash algorithm
API, and use it in the one place we need to make a hash context copy.
With this change, our libgcrypt SHA-256 implementation is fully

Comparing the result of read_in_full() using less-than is
potentially dangerous, as a negative return value may be
converted to an unsigned type and be considered a success.
This is discussed further in 561598cfcf (read_pack_header:
handle signed/unsigned comparison in read result,
2017-09-13).
Each of these instances is actually fine in practice:
- in get-tar-commit-id, the HEADERSIZE macro expands to a
signed integer. If it were switched to an unsigned type
(e.g., a size_t), then it would be a bug.
- the other two callers check for a short read only after
handling a negative return separately. This is a fine
practice, but we'd prefer to model "!=" as a general
rule.
So all of these cases can be considered cleanups and not
actual bugfixes.

Right now we return a NULL "struct sha1file" if we encounter
an error. However, the sole caller (write_idx_file) does not
check the return value, and will segfault if we hit this
case.
One option would be to handle the error in the caller.
However, there's really nothing for it to do but die. This
code path is hit during "git index-pack --verify"; after we
verify the packfile, we check that the ".idx" we would
generate from it is byte-wise identical to what is on disk.
We hit the error (and segfault) if we can't open the .idx
file (a likely cause of this is that somebody else ran "git
repack -ad" while we were verifying). Since we can't
complete the requested verification, we really have no
choice but to die.
Furthermore, the rest of the sha1fd_* functions simply die
on errors. So if were to open the file successfully, for
example, and then hit a read error, sha1write would call
die() for us. So pushing the die() down into sha1fd_check
keeps the interface consistent.

The sha1write function returns an int, but it will always be

we just end up calling die() during the flush.

confuses callers into thinking that it might be useful.

Given an existing .pack file and the .idx file that describes it,
this new mode of operation reads and re-index the packfile and makes
sure the existing .idx file matches the result byte-for-byte.
All the objects in the .pack file are validated during this operation as
well. Unlike verify-pack, which visits each object described in the .idx
file in the SHA-1 order, index-pack efficiently exploits the delta-chain
to avoid rebuilding the objects that are used as the base of deltified
objects over and over again while validating the objects, resulting in
much quicker verification of the .pack file and its .idx file.
This version however cannot verify a .pack/.idx pair with a handcrafted v2
index that uses 64-bit offset representation for offsets that would fit
within 31-bit. You can create such an .idx file by giving a custom offset
to --index-version option to the command.

This is because openssl header files are always included in

Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h
is imap-send.c. But only moving those problematic includes there
doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the
conflicting local SHA1 header file.
As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references

Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,

Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed

deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current

Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed

The most important optimization for performance when repacking is the
ability to reuse data from a previous pack as is and bypass any delta
or even SHA1 computation by simply copying the raw data from one pack
to another directly.
The problem with this is that any data corruption within a copied object
would go unnoticed and the new (repacked) pack would be self-consistent
with its own checksum despite containing a corrupted object. This is a
real issue that already happened at least once in the past.
In some attempt to prevent this, we validate the copied data by inflating
it and making sure no error is signaled by zlib. But this is still not
perfect as a significant portion of a pack content is made of object
headers and references to delta base objects which are not deflated and
therefore not validated when repacking actually making the pack data reuse
still not as safe as it could be.
Of course a full SHA1 validation could be performed, but that implies
full data inflating and delta replaying which is extremely costly, which
cost the data reuse optimization was designed to avoid in the first place.
So the best solution to this is simply to store a CRC32 of the raw pack
data for each object in the pack index. This way any object in a pack can
be validated before being copied as is in another pack, including header
and any other non deflated data.
Why CRC32 instead of a faster checksum like Adler32? Quoting Wikipedia:
Jonathan Stone discovered in 2001 that Adler-32 has a weakness for very
short messages. He wrote "Briefly, the problem is that, for very short
packets, Adler32 is guaranteed to give poor coverage of the available
bits. Don't take my word for it, ask Mark Adler. :-)" The problem is
that sum A does not wrap for short messages. The maximum value of A for
a 128-byte message is 32640, which is below the value 65521 used by the
modulo operation. An extended explanation can be found in RFC 3309,
which mandates the use of CRC32 instead of Adler-32 for SCTP, the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol.
In the context of a GIT pack, we have lots of small objects, especially
deltas, which are likely to be quite small and in a size range for which
Adler32 is dimed not to be sufficient. Another advantage of CRC32 is the
possibility for recovery from certain types of small corruptions like
single bit errors which are the most probable type of corruptions.
OK what this patch does is to compute the CRC32 of each object written to
a pack within pack-objects. It is not written to the index yet and it is
obviously not validated when reusing pack data yet either.

Also, make the writing of the SHA1 as a end-header be conditional: not
every user will necessarily want to write the SHA1 to the file itself,
even though current users do (but we migh end up using the same helper
functions for the object files themselves, that don't do this).
This also makes the packed index file contain the SHA1 of the packed
data file at the end (just before its own SHA1). That way you can
validate the pairing of the two if you want to.
We want to be able to check their integrity later, and putting the
sha1-sum of the contents at the end is a good thing. The writing
routines are generic, so we could try to re-use them for the index file,
instead of having the same logic duplicated.
