gitweb: Fix mod_perl support.

ModPerl::Registry precompiles scripts by wrapping them
in a subroutine. This causes ordinary subroutines of the
script to become nested, and warnings appear:

gitweb.cgi: Variable "$path_info" will not stay shared

This warning means that $path_info was declared as 'my',
and thus according to the perl evaluation rules all nested
subroutines will retain a reference to the instance of the
variable used in the first invocation of the master script.

When the script (i.e. the master meta-subroutine) is executed
the second time, it will use a new instance, so the logic
breaks. To avoid this it is necessary to declare all global
variables as 'our', which places them at the package level.

connect.c: add a way for git-daemon to pass an error back to client

The current behavior of git-daemon is to simply close the connection on
any error condition. This leaves the client without any information as
to the cause of the failed fetch/push/etc.

This patch allows get_remote_heads to accept a line prefixed with "ERR"
that it can display to the user in an informative fashion. Once clients
can understand this ERR line, git-daemon can be made to properly report
"repository not found", "permission denied", or other errors.

S: ERR No matching repository.

pack-objects: avoid reading uninitalized data

In the main loop of find_deltas, we do:

  struct object_entry *entry = *list++;
  ...
  if (!*list_size)
  ...
  break

Because we look at and increment *list _before_ the check of
list_size, in the very last iteration of the loop we will
look at uninitialized data, and increment the pointer beyond
one past the end of the allocated space. Since we don't
actually do anything with the data until after the check,
this is not a problem in practice.

But since it technically violates the C standard, and
because it provokes a spurious valgrind warning, let's just
move the initialization of entry to a safe place.

16 years agocorrect cache_entry allocation
Jeff King [Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:30:58 +0000 (04:30 +0000)]
correct cache_entry allocation

Most cache_entry structs are allocated by using the
cache_entry_size macro, which rounds the size of the struct
up to the nearest multiple of 8 bytes (presumably to avoid
memory fragmentation).

There is one exception: the special "conflict entry" is
allocated with an empty name, and so is explicitly given
just one extra byte to hold the NUL.

However, later code doesn't realize that this particular
struct has been allocated differently, and happily tries
reading and copying it based on the ce_size macro, which
assumes the 8-byte alignment.

This can lead to reading uninitalized data, though since
that data is simply padding, there shouldn't be any problem
as a result. Still, it makes sense to hold the padding
assumption so as not to surprise later maintainers.

This fixes valgrind errors in t1005, t3030, t4002, and
t4114.

compat/cygwin.c: make runtime detection of lstat/stat lessor impact

The original patch that lead to an earlier commit adbc0b6 (cygwin: Use
native Win32 API for stat, 2008-09-30) did not call git_default_config()
and it was a good thing.  The lazy config reading when lstat/stat is
called for the first time to find out if core.filemode is set can happen
anytime in the calling program.  If it happens after the calling program
parsed the configuration file to prime its default parameter settings and
processed its command line parameters to tweak them, this will overwrite
the values set by the program with the values read from the config file.

This essentially reverts the code to the version as submitted by Mark,
with a bit more comments to clarify why we do not fall back on the default
configuration parser from git_cygwin_config().
