Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

Many of our hash functions have two variants, one receiving a `struct
git_hash_algo` and one that derives it via `the_repository`. Adapt all
of those functions to always require the hash algorithm as input and
drop the variants that do not accept one.
As those functions are now independent of `the_repository`, we can move
them from "hash.h" to "hash-ll.h".
Note that both in this and subsequent commits in this series we always
just pass `the_repository->hash_algo` as input even if it is obvious
that there is a repository in the context that we should be using the
hash from instead. This is done to be on the safe side and not introduce
any regressions. All callsites should eventually be amended to use a
repo passed via parameters, but this is outside the scope of this patch
series.

We have a generic "fill" function that is used by both the dumb http
push and fetch code paths. It takes a void parameter in case the caller
wants to pass along extra data, but (since the previous commit) neither
does so.
So we could simply drop the extra parameter. But since it's good
practice to provide a void pointer for in callback functions, we'll
leave it here for the future, and just annotate it as unused (to appease
-Wunused-parameter).
While we're marking it, let's also fix the type in http-walker's

2. That version introduced the curl_multi interface, which

finish_http_pack_request() does multiple tasks, including some
housekeeping on a struct packed_git - (1) closing its index, (2)
removing it from a list, and (3) installing it. These concerns are
independent of fetching a pack through HTTP: they are there only because
(1) the calling code opens the pack's index before deciding to fetch it,
(2) the calling code maintains a list of packfiles that can be fetched,
and (3) the calling code fetches it in order to make use of its objects
in the same process.
In preparation for a subsequent commit, which adds a feature that does
not need any of this housekeeping, remove (1), (2), and (3) from
finish_http_pack_request(). (2) and (3) are now done by a helper

When we switched off CURLOPT_FAILONERROR in 17966c0a63 (http: avoid
disconnecting on 404s for loose objects, 2016-07-11), the fetch_object()
function started manually handling 404's. Since we now have
normalize_curl_result() for use elsewhere, we can use it here as well,
shortening the code.
Note that we lose the check for http/https in the URL here. None of the
other result-normalizing code paths bother with this. Looking at
missing_target(), which checks specifically for an FTP-specific CURLcode
and "http" code 550, it seems likely that git-over-ftp has been subtly
broken since 17966c0a63. This patch does nothing to fix that, but nor
should it make anything worse (in fact, it may be slightly better
because we'll actually recognize an error as such, rather than assuming
CURLE_OK means we actually got some data).

If the dumb-http walker encounters a 404 when fetching a loose object,
it then looks at any http-alternates for the object. The 404 check is
implemented by missing_target(), which checks not only the http code,
but also that we got an http error from the CURLcode.
That broke when we stopped using CURLOPT_FAILONERROR in 17966c0a63
(http: avoid disconnecting on 404s for loose objects, 2016-07-11), since
our CURLcode will now be CURLE_OK. As a result, fetching over dumb-http
from a repository with alternates could result in Git printing "Unable
to find abcd1234..." and aborting.
We could probably fix this just by loosening missing_target(). However,
there's other code which looks at the curl result, and it would have to
be tweaked as well. Instead, let's just normalize the result the same
way the smart-http code does.
There's a similar case in processing the alternates (where we failover
from "info/http-alternates" to "info/alternates"). We'll give it the
same treatment.
After this patch, we should be hitting all code paths that need this
normalization (notably absent here is the http_pack_request path, but it
does not use FAILONERROR, nor missing_target()).

The loose object access code in sha1-file.c is some of the oldest in
Git, and could use some modernizing. It mostly uses "unsigned char *"
for object ids, which these days should be "struct object_id".
It also uses the term "sha1_file" in many functions, which is confusing.
The term "loose_objects" is much better. It clearly distinguishes
them from packed objects (which didn't even exist back when the name
"sha1_file" came into being). And it also distinguishes it from the
checksummed-file concept in csum-file.c (which until recently was
actually called "struct sha1file"!).
This patch converts the functions {open,close,map,stat}_sha1_file() into
open_loose_object(), etc, and switches their sha1 arguments for
object_id structs. Similarly, path functions like fill_sha1_path()
become fill_loose_path() and use object_ids.
The function sha1_loose_object_info() already says "loose", so we can
just drop the "sha1" (and teach it to use object_id).

append, since the the path we write may be absolute (i.e., you cannot
reliably build up a path with it). Because many callers use it with a
static buffer, they have to strbuf_reset() manually before each call
(and the other callers always use an empty buffer, so they don't care
either way). Let's handle this automatically.

I didn't bother to add a new rule to convert:
- hasheq(E1->hash, E2->hash)
+ oideq(E1, E2)
Since these are new functions, there won't be any such
existing callers. And since most of the code is already
using oideq, we're not likely to introduce new ones.
We might still see "!hashcmp(E1->hash, E2->hash)" from topics
in flight. But because our new rule comes after the existing
ones, that should first get converted to "!oidcmp(E1, E2)"
and then to "oideq(E1, E2)".

* jk/http-walker-buffer-underflow-fix:
http-walker: fix buffer underflow processing remote alternates
If we parse a remote alternates (or http-alternates), we
expect relative lines like:
../../foo.git/objects
which we convert into "$URL/../foo.git/" (and then use that
as a base for fetching more objects).
But if the remote feeds us nonsense like just:
../
we will try to blindly strip the last 7 characters, assuming
they contain the string "objects". Since we don't _have_ 7
characters at all, this results in feeding a small negative
value to strbuf_add(), which converts it to a size_t,
resulting in a big positive value. This should consistently
fail (since we can't generall allocate the max size_t minus
7 bytes), so there shouldn't be any security implications.
Let's fix this by using strbuf_strip_suffix() to drop the
characters we want. If they're not present, we'll ignore the
alternate (in theory we could use it as-is, but the rest of
the http-walker code unconditionally tacks "objects/" back
on, so it is it not prepared to handle such a case).

The http-walker may fetch the http-alternates (or
alternates) file from a remote in order to find more
objects. This should count as a "not from the user" use of
the protocol. But because we implement the redirection
ourselves and feed the new URL to curl, it will use the
CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS rules, not the more restrictive
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS.
The ideal solution would be for each curl request we make to
know whether or not is directly from the user or part of an
alternates redirect, and then set CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS as
appropriate. However, that would require plumbing that
information through all of the various layers of the http
code.
Instead, let's check the protocol at the source: when we are
parsing the remote http-alternates file. The only downside
is that if there's any mismatch between what protocol we
think it is versus what curl thinks it is, it could violate
the policy.
To address this, we'll make the parsing err on the picky
side, and only allow protocols that it can parse
definitively. So for example, you can't elude the "http"
policy by asking for "HTTP://", even though curl might
handle it; we would reject it as unknown. The only unsafe
case would be if you have a URL that starts with "http://"
but curl interprets as another protocol. That seems like an
unlikely failure mode (and we are still protected by our
base CURLOPT_PROTOCOL setting, so the worst you could do is
trigger one of https, ftp, or ftps).

Since commit 17966c0a6 (http: avoid disconnecting on 404s
for loose objects, 2016-07-11), we turn off curl's
FAILONERROR option and instead manually deal with failing
HTTP codes.
However, the logic to do so only recognizes HTTP 404 as a
failure. This is probably the most common result, but if we
were to get another code, the curl result remains CURLE_OK,
and we treat it as success. We still end up detecting the
failure when we try to zlib-inflate the object (which will
fail), but instead of reporting the HTTP error, we just
claim that the object is corrupt.
Instead, let's catch anything in the 300's or above as an
error (300's are redirects which are not an error at the
HTTP level, but are an indication that we've explicitly
disabled redirects, so we should treat them as such; we
certainly don't have the resulting object content).
Note that we also fill in req->errorstr, which we didn't do
before. Without FAILONERROR, curl will not have filled this
in, and it will remain a blank string. This never mattered
for the 404 case, because in the logic below we hit the
"missing_target()" branch and print nothing. But for other
errors, we'd want to say _something_, if only to fill in the
blank slot in the error message.

* ew/http-walker:
list: avoid incompatibility with *BSD sys/queue.h
http-walker: reduce O(n) ops with doubly-linked list
http: avoid disconnecting on 404s for loose objects
http-walker: remove unused parameter from fetch_object
The previous commit made HTTP redirects more obvious and
tightened up the default behavior. However, there's another
way for a server to ask a git client to fetch arbitrary
content: by having an http-alternates file (or a regular
alternates file, which is used as a backup).
Similar to the HTTP redirect case, a malicious server can
claim to have refs pointing at object X, return a 404 when
the client asks for X, but point to some other URL via
http-alternates, which the client will transparently fetch.
The end result is that it looks from the user's perspective
like the objects came from the malicious server, as the
other URL is not mentioned at all.
Worse, because we feed the new URL to curl ourselves, the
usual protocol restrictions do not kick in (neither curl's
default of disallowing file://, nor the protocol
whitelisting in f4113cac0 (http: limit redirection to
protocol-whitelist, 2015-09-22).
Let's apply the same rules here as we do for HTTP redirects.
Namely:
- unless http.followRedirects is set to "always", we will
not follow remote redirects from http-alternates (or
alternates) at all
- set CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS alongside CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS
restrict ourselves to a known-safe set and respect any
user-provided whitelist.
- mention alternate object stores on stderr so that the
user is aware another source of objects may be involved
The first item may prove to be too restrictive. The most
common use of alternates is to point to another path on the
same server. While it's possible for a single-server
redirect to be an attack, it takes a fairly obscure setup
(victim and evil repository on the same host, host speaks
dumb http, and evil repository has access to edit its own
http-alternates file).
So we could make the checks more specific, and only cover
cross-server redirects. But that means parsing the URLs
ourselves, rather than letting curl handle them. This patch
goes for the simpler approach. Given that they are only used
with dumb http, http-alternates are probably pretty rare.
And there's an escape hatch: the user can allow redirects on
a specific server by setting http.<url>.followRedirects to
"always".

Using the a Linux-kernel-derived doubly-linked list
implementation from the Userspace RCU library allows us to
enqueue and delete items from the object request queue in
constant time.
This change reduces enqueue times in the prefetch() function
where object request queue could grow to several thousand
objects.
I left out the list_for_each_entry* family macros from list.h
which relied on the __typeof__ operator as we support platforms
without it. Thus, list_entry (aka "container_of") needs to be
called explicitly inside macro-wrapped for loops.
The downside is this costs us an additional pointer per object
request, but this is offset by reduced overhead on queue
operations leading to improved performance and shorter queue
depths.

404s are common when fetching loose objects on static HTTP

We do an unchecked sprintf directly into our url buffer.
This doesn't overflow because we know that it was sized for
"$base/objects/info/http-alternates", and we are writing
"$base/objects/info/alternates", which must be smaller. But
that is not immediately obvious to a reader who is looking
for buffer overflows. Let's switch to a strbuf, so that we
do not have to think about this issue at all.

This is one line shorter, and makes sure the length in the

These conversions are very straightforward; we can drop the
malloc entirely, and replace the sprintf with xstrfmt.
