These things in refs/heads/ hierarchy are called "branches" in human
parlance.  Replace REF_HEADS with REF_BRANCHES to make it clearer.

No end-user visible change intended at this step.

<id>urn:sha1:a4e7e317f8f27f861321e6eb08b9c8c0f3ab570c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).

In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.

Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:

- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed

Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.

The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:

- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()

  This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
  machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
  using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().

- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()

  This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
  This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
  git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
  more than just parsing.

Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

When parsing server capabilities, we use "int" to store lengths and
offsets. At first glance this seems like a spot where our parser may be
confused by integer overflow if somebody sent us a malicious response.

In practice these strings are all bounded by the 64k limit of a
pkt-line, so using "int" is OK. However, it makes the code simpler to
audit if they just use size_t everywhere. Note that because we take
these parameters as pointers, this also forces many callers to update
their declared types.

Commit eb398797cd (connect: advertized capability is not a ref,
2016-09-09) added support for an upload-pack server responding with:

  0000000000000000000000000000000000000000        capabilities^{}

followed by a NUL and the actual capabilities. We correctly parse the
oid using the packet_reader's hash_algo field, but then we compare it to
null_oid(), which will instead use our current repo's default algorithm.
If we're defaulting to sha256 locally but the other side is sha1, they
won't match and we'll fail to parse the line (and thus die()).

This can cause a test failure when the suite is run with
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256, and we even do so regularly via the
linux-sha256 CI job. But since the test requires JGit to run, it's
usually just skipped, and nobody noticed the problem.

The reason the original patch used JGit is that Git itself does not ever
produce such a line via upload-pack; the feature was added to fix a
real-world problem when interacting with JGit. That was good for
verifying that the incompatibility was fixed, but it's not a good
regression test:

  - hardly anybody runs it, because you have to have jgit installed;
    hence this bug going unnoticed

  - we're depending on jgit's behavior for the test to do anything
    useful. In particular, this behavior is only relevant to the v0
    protocol, but these days we ask for the v2 protocol by default. So
    for modern jgit, this is probably testing nothing.

  - it's complicated and slow. We had to do some fifo trickery to handle
    races, and this one test makes up 40% of the runtime of the total
    script.

Instead, let's just hard-code the response that's of interest to us.
That will test exactly what we want for every run, and reveals the bug
when run in sha256 mode. And of course we'll fix the actual bug by using
the correct hash_algo struct.

<id>urn:sha1:aa962fef27f8f2a7128a9f16a84e749e14120336</id>
<content type='text'>
If Git's client-side parsing of an upload-pack response (so git-fetch or
ls-remote) sees multiple instances of a single capability, it can enter
an infinite loop due to a bug in advancing the "offset" parameter in the
parser.

This bug can't happen between a client and server of the same Git
version. The client bug is in parse_feature_value() when the caller
passes in an offset parameter. And that only happens when the v0
protocol is parsing "symref" and "object-format" capabilities, via
next_server_feature_value(). But Git has never produced multiple
object-format capabilities, and it stopped producing multiple symref
values in d007dbf7d6 (Revert "upload-pack: send non-HEAD symbolic refs",
2013-11-18).

However, upload-pack did produce multiple symref entries for a while,
and they are valid. Plus other implementations, such as Dulwich will
still do so. So we should handle them. And even if we do not expect it,
it is obviously a bug for the parser to enter an infinite loop.

The bug itself is pretty simple. Commit 2c6a403d96 (connect: add
function to parse multiple v1 capability values, 2020-05-25) added the
"offset" parameter, which is used as both an in- and out-parameter. When
parsing the first "symref" capability, *offset will be 0 on input, and
after parsing the capability, we set *offset to an index just past the
value by taking a pointer difference "(value + end) - feature_list".

But on the second call, now *offset is set to that larger index, which
lets us skip past the first "symref" capability. However, we do so by
incrementing feature_list. That means our pointer difference is now too
small; it is counting from where we resumed parsing, not from the start
of the original feature_list pointer. And because we incremented
feature_list only inside our function, and not the caller, that
increment is lost next time the function is called.

One solution would be to account for those skipped bytes by incrementing
*offset, rather than assigning to it. But wait, there's more!

We also increment feature_list if we have a near-miss. Say we are
looking for "symref" and find "almost-symref". In that case we'll point
feature_list to the "y" in "almost-symref" and restart our search. But
that again means our offset won't be correct, as it won't account for
the bytes between the start of the string and that "y".

So instead, let's just record the beginning of the feature_list string
in a separate pointer that we never touch. That offset we take in and
return is meant to be using that point as a base, and now we'll do so
consistently.

Since the bug can't be reproduced using the current version of
git-upload-pack, we'll instead hard-code an input which triggers the
problem. Before this patch it loops forever re-parsing the second symref
entry. Now we check both that it finishes, and that it parses both
entries correctly (a case we could not test at all before).

We don't need to worry about testing v2 here; it communicates the
capabilities in a completely different way, and doesn't use this code at
all. There are tests earlier in t5512 that are meant to cover this (they
don't, but we'll address that in a future patch).

Several files were including cache.h solely to get other headers, such
as trace.h and trace2.h.  Since the last few commits have modified
files to make these dependencies more explicit, the inclusion of cache.h
is no longer needed in several cases.  Remove it.
