Our struct child_process already has its own argv_array.
Let's use that to avoid having to format options into
separate buffers.
Note that we'll need to declare the child process outside of
the run_service_command() helper to do this. But that opens
up a further simplification, which is that the helper can
append to our argument list, saving each caller from

This is setup that should be done in every program for
safety, but we never got around to adding it everywhere (so
builtins benefited from the call in git.c, but any external
commands did not). Putting it in the common main() gives us
this safety everywhere.
Note that the case in daemon.c is a little funny. We wait
until we know whether we want to daemonize, and then either:
- call daemonize(), which will close stdio and reopen it to
/dev/null under the hood
- sanitize_stdfds(), to fix up any odd cases
But that is way too late; the point of sanitizing is to give
us reliable descriptors on 0/1/2, and we will already have
executed code, possibly called die(), etc. The sanitizing
should be the very first thing that happens.
With this patch, git-daemon will sanitize first, and can
remove the call in the non-daemonize case. It does mean that
daemonize() may just end up closing the descriptors we
opened, but that's not a big deal (it's not wrong to do so,
nor is it really less optimal than the case where our parent
process redirected us from /dev/null ahead of time).

Every program which links against libgit.a must call this
function, or risk hitting an assert() in system_path() that
checks whether we have configured argv0_path (though only
when RUNTIME_PREFIX is defined, so essentially only on
Windows).
Looking at the diff, you can see that putting it into the
common main() saves us having to do it individually in each
of the external commands. But what you can't see are the
cases where we _should_ have been doing so, but weren't
(e.g., git-credential-store, and all of the t/helper test
programs).
This has been an accident-waiting-to-happen for a long time,
but wasn't triggered until recently because it involves one
of those programs actually calling system_path(). That
happened with git-credential-store in v2.8.0 with ae5f677
(lazily load core.sharedrepository, 2016-03-11). The
program:
- takes a lock file, which...
- opens a tempfile, which...
- calls adjust_shared_perm to fix permissions, which...
- lazy-loads the config (as of ae5f677), which...
- calls system_path() to find the location of
/etc/gitconfig
On systems with RUNTIME_PREFIX, this means credential-store
reliably hits that assert() and cannot be used.
We never noticed in the test suite, because we set
GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM there, which skips the system_path()
lookup entirely. But if we were to tweak git_config() to
find /etc/gitconfig even when we aren't going to open it,
then the test suite shows multiple failures (for
credential-store, and for some other test helpers). I didn't
include that tweak here because it's way too specific to
this particular call to be worth carrying around what is
essentially dead code.
The implementation is fairly straightforward, with one
exception: there is exactly one caller (git.c) that actually
cares about the result of the function, and not the
side-effect of setting up argv0_path. We can accommodate
that by simply replacing the value of argv[0] in the array
we hand down to cmd_main().

There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git
process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the
quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In
others it is a requirement for using certain functions in
libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called
git_extract_argv0_path()).
Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c
version of main(). However, there are still a few external
commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to
remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are
not always consistent.
Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this
harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can
run this standard startup.
We basically have two options to do this:
- the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by
adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a
wrapper that calls mingw_startup().
The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need
to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the
preprocessor.
The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup
sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is
quietly inserting new code.
- the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(),
and git.c's main() calls them.
This is much more explicit, which may make things more
obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more
flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_
cmd_foo() to call).
The downside is that each of the builtins must define
cmd_foo(), instead of just main().
This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more
explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We
introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It
expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is
linked against.
We link common-main.o against anything that links against
libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do
this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside
libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main()
function automatically (it has no callers).
The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various
external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main().
I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which
means that all of the programs also need to match its
signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to
"const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect
ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well.
This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result
is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const
anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature
(which also matches the way builtins are defined).

There are many manual argv allocations that predate the
argv_array API. Switching to that API brings a few
advantages:
1. We no longer have to manually compute the correct final
array size (so it's one less thing we can screw up).
2. In many cases we had to make a separate pass to count,
then allocate, then fill in the array. Now we can do it
in one pass, making the code shorter and easier to
follow.
3. argv_array handles memory ownership for us, making it
more obvious when things should be free()d and and when
not.
Most of these cases are pretty straightforward. In some, we
switch from "run_command_v" to "run_command" which lets us
directly use the argv_array embedded in "struct
child_process".

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

This avoids an ugly strcat into a fixed-size buffer. It's
not wrong (the buffer is plenty large enough for an IPv6

effort to verify that.
Unfortunately we are still stuck with some fixed-size
buffers to hold the output of inet_ntop. But at least we now
pass very easy-to-verify parameters, rather than doing a
manual computation to account for other data in the buffer.
As a side effect, this also fixes the case where we might
pass an uninitialized portbuf buffer through the
environment. This probably couldn't happen in practice, as
it would mean that addr->sa_family was neither AF_INET nor

strings.
However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's

we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in

We use the daemon_avoid_alias function to make sure that the

that check, we might then interpolate the path using a
string given by the server admin, but which may contain more
untrusted data from the client. We should be sure to
sanitize this data, as well.
We cannot use daemon_avoid_alias here, as it is more strict
than we need in requiring a leading '/'. At the same time,
we can be much more strict here. We are interpreting a
hostname, which should not contain slashes or excessive runs
of dots, as those things are not allowed in DNS names.
Note that in addition to cleansing the hostname field, we
must check the "canonical hostname" (%CH) as well as the
port (%P), which we take as a raw string. For the canonical
hostname, this comes from an actual DNS lookup on the
accessed IP, which makes it a much less likely vector for
problems. But it does not hurt to sanitize it in the same
way. Unfortunately we cannot test this case easily, as it
would involve a custom hostname lookup.
We do not need to check %IP, as it comes straight from
inet_ntop, so must have a sane form.

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with a magic number, like:
if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
foo += 3;
This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the
prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the
string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic
numbers here.
Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter.
For example:
if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) {
bar = arg + 6;
continue;
}
could become:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar))
continue;
However, I have left it as:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
bar = v;
continue;
}
to visually match nearby cases which need to actually
process the string. Like:
