Each of these were checked with
   gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).

...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file.  These cases were:
  * builtin/credential-cache.c
  * builtin/pull.c
  * builtin/send-pack.c

<title>commit-graph: detect out-of-order BIDX offsets</title>

The BIDX chunk tells us the offsets at which each commit's Bloom filters
can be found in the BDAT chunk. We compute the length of each filter by
checking the offsets of neighbors and subtracting them.

If the offsets are out of order, then we'll get a negative length, which
we then store as a very large unsigned value. This can cause us to read
out-of-bounds memory, as we access the hash data modulo "filter-&gt;len *
BITS_PER_WORD".

We can easily detect this case when loading the individual filters.

<title>commit-graph: check bounds when accessing BDAT chunk</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=920f400e919c7c51f81adc6989cdd52630220783'/>
<id>urn:sha1:920f400e919c7c51f81adc6989cdd52630220783</id>
<content type='text'>
When loading Bloom filters from a commit-graph file, we use the offset
values in the BIDX chunk to index into the memory mapped for the BDAT
chunk. But since we don't record how big the BDAT chunk is, we just
trust that the BIDX offsets won't cause us to read outside of the chunk
memory. A corrupted or malicious commit-graph file will cause us to
segfault (in practice this isn't a very interesting attack, since
commit-graph files are local-only, and the worst case is an
out-of-bounds read).

We can't fix this by checking the chunk size during parsing, since the
data in the BDAT chunk doesn't have a fixed size (that's why we need the
BIDX in the first place). So we'll fix it in two parts:

  1. Record the BDAT chunk size during parsing, and then later check
     that the BIDX offsets we look up are within bounds.

  2. Because the offsets are relative to the end of the BDAT header, we
     must also make sure that the BDAT chunk is at least as large as the
     expected header size. Otherwise, we overflow when trying to move
     past the header, even for an offset of "0". We can check this
     early, during the parsing stage.

The error messages are rather verbose, but since this is not something
you'd expect to see outside of severe bugs or corruption, it makes sense
to err on the side of too many details. Sadly we can't mention the
filename during the chunk-parsing stage, as we haven't set g-&gt;filename
at this point, nor passed it down through the stack.

<title>git-compat-util.h: use "UNUSED", not "UNUSED(var)"</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5cf88fd8b059235b21ee2f72b17bf1f421a9c4e7</id>
<content type='text'>
As reported in [1] the "UNUSED(var)" macro introduced in
2174b8c75de (Merge branch 'jk/unused-annotation' into next,
2022-08-24) breaks coccinelle's parsing of our sources in files where
it occurs.

Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of
making this not take an argument. As noted in [1] "coccinelle" will
ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and
it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters.

This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is
actually use" part of 9b240347543 (git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro,
2022-08-19), a subsequent commit will further tweak the macro to
implement a replacement for that functionality.

<title>hashmap: mark unused callback parameters</title>

Hashmap comparison functions must conform to a particular callback
interface, but many don't use all of their parameters. Especially the
void cmp_data pointer, but some do not use keydata either (because they
can easily form a full struct to pass when doing lookups). Let's mark
these to make -Wunused-parameter happy.

<title>commit-graph: fix corrupt upgrade from generation v1 to v2</title>
<updated>2022-07-15T23:51:39Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Taylor Blau</name>
<email>me@ttaylorr.com</email>
</author>
<published>2022-07-12T23:10:33Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=9550f6c16a8be18bd4868909d4d5e29d05bd9733'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9550f6c16a8be18bd4868909d4d5e29d05bd9733</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous commit demonstrates a bug where a commit-graph using
generation v2 could enter a state where one of the GDA2 values has its
most-significant bit set (indicating that its value should be read from
the extended offset table in the GDO2 chunk) without having a GDO2 chunk
to read from.

This results in the following error message being displayed to the
caller:

    fatal: commit-graph requires overflow generation data but has none

This bug arises in the following scenario:

  - We decide to write a commit-graph using generation number v2, and
    decide (correctly) that no GDO2 chunk is necessary (e.g., because
    all of the commiter date offsets are no larger than 2^31-1).

  - The v2 generation numbers are stored in the `-&gt;generation` member of
    the commit slab holding `struct commit_graph_data`'s.

  - Later on, `load_commit_graph_info()` is called, overwriting the
    v2 generation data in the aforementioned slab with any existing v1
    generation data.

Then, when the commit-graph code goes to write the GDA2 chunk via
`write_graph_chunk_generation_data()`, we use the overwritten generation
v1 data in a place where we expect to use a v2 generation number:

    offset = commit_graph_data_at(c)-&gt;generation - c-&gt;date;

...because `commit_graph_data_at(c)-&gt;generation` used to hold the v2
generation data, but it was overwritten to contain the v1 generation
number via `load_commit_graph_info()`.

If the `offset` computation above overflows the v2 generation number
max, then `write_graph_chunk_generation_data()` will update its count of
large offsets and write the marker accordingly:

    if (offset &gt; GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX) {
        offset = CORRECTED_COMMIT_DATE_OFFSET_OVERFLOW | num_generation_data_overflows;
        num_generation_data_overflows++;
    }

and reads will look for the GDO2 chunk containing the overflowing v2
generation number, *after* the commit-graph code decided that no such
chunk was necessary.

The main problem is that the slab containing `struct commit_graph_data`
has a dual purpose. It is used to hold data that we are about to write
to disk while generating a commit-graph, as well as hold data that was
read from an existing commit-graph.

When the two mix, namely when the result of reading the commit-graph has
a side-effect that mixes poorly with an in-progress commit-graph write,
we end up with corrupt data.

A complete fix might be to introduce a new slab that is used exclusively
for writing, and gate access between the two slabs based on context
provided by the caller (e.g., whether this computation is part of a
"read" or "write" operation).

But a more minimal fix addresses the only known path which overwrites
the slab data, which is `compute_bloom_filters()` -&gt;
`get_or_compute_bloom_filter()` -&gt; `load_commit_graph_info()` -&gt;
`fill_commit_graph_info()` by avoiding the last call which clobbers the
data altogether.

This path only needs to learn the graph position of a given commit so
that it can be used in `load_bloom_filter_from_graph()`. By replacing
the last steps of the above with one that records the graph position
into a temporary variable which is then used to load the existing Bloom
data, we eliminate the clobbering, removing the corruption.

fill_bloom_key() allocates memory into bloom_key, we need to clean that
up once the key is no longer needed.

This leak was found while running t0002-t0099. Although this leak is
happening in code being called from a test-helper, the same code is also
used in various locations around git, and can therefore happen during
normal usage too. Gabor's analysis shows that peak-memory usage during
'git commit-graph write' is reduced on the order of 10% for a selection
of larger repos (along with an even larger reduction if we override
modified path bloom filter limits):
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210411072651.GF2947267@szeder.dev/
