Colin Walters 015513b8f9 lib/pull: Avoid error if current with --require-static-deltas
A tricky thing here that caused this to go past a lot of our tests
is that the code was mostly OK if there was an available delta from
an older commit.  But this case broke if we e.g. had a new OS
deployment and did a `--require-static-deltas` pull, i.e. the initial
state.

I cleaned up our "find static delta state" function to return an enumeration,
and extended it with an "already have the commit" state.  A problem
I then hit is that we've historically fetched detached metadata for
non-delta pulls, even if the commit hasn't changed.  I decided not to
do that for `--require-static-deltas` pulls for now; otherwise the
code gets notably more complex.

Dan Nicholson 519b30b7e1 lib/pull: Skip ostree_repo_resolve_keyring_for_collection for bindings
Since ostree_remote_get_type is not made available to g-ir-scanner, it
treats OstreeRemote as a bare struct. That's not kosher for bindings and
it issues the following warning:

  src/libostree/ostree-repo-pull.c:5560: Warning: OSTree:
  ostree_repo_resolve_keyring_for_collection: return value: Invalid

For now, just skip this API for bindings.

Colin Walters e466e482b1 Disallow refs starting with a non-letter or digit
Change the regexp for validating refs to require at least one letter or digit
before allowing the other special chars in the set `[.-_]`. Names that start
with `.` are traditionally Unix hidden files; let's ignore them under the
assumption they're metadata for some other tool, and we don't want to
potentially conflict with the special `.` and `..` Unix directory entries.
Further, names starting with `-` are problematic for Unix cmdline option
processing; there's no good reason to support that. Finally, disallow `_` just
on general principle - it's simpler to say that ref identifiers must start with
a letter or digit.

We also ignore any existing files (that might be previously created refs) that
start with `.` in the `refs/` directory - there's a Red Hat tool for content
management that injects `.rsync` files, which is why this patch was first
written.

V1: Update to ban all refs starting with a non-letter/digit, and
    also add another call to `ostree_validate_rev` in the pull
    code.

Colin Walters 1c108d1b68 lib/pull: Also do commit GPG verification before writing
I was working on a patch to do build on the work done to
import content objects async to do the same for metadata, but right
now we basically rely on writing them first to do the GPG verification
when scanning.

Things will be cleaner for that if we can pass the commit object directly into
`scan_commit_object()` and consistently use `gpg_verify_unwritten_commit()`.

We're careful here to continue to do it both ways (but at most one time), to
account for the case where a bad commit has been pulled and written - we need to
keep failing GPG verification there.

Colin Walters 2e3889a4eb lib/pull: Change fetcher to return O_TMPFILE
A lot of the libostree code is honestly too complex for its
own good (this is mostly my fault).  The way we do HTTP writes
is still one of those.  The way the fetcher writes tempfiles,
then reads them back in is definitely one of those.

Now that we've dropped the "partial object" bits in:
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1176 i.e. commit
0488b4870e
we can simplify things a lot more by having the fetcher
return an `O_TMPFILE` rather than a filename.

For trusted archive mirroring, we need to enable linking
in the tmpfiles directly.

Otherwise for at least content objects they're compressed, so we couldn't link
them in. For metadata, we need to do similar logic to what we have around
`mmap()` to only grab a tmpfile if the size is large enough.

Colin Walters 5c7d2dd8be Deduplicate and fix up our use of mmap()
Buried in this large patch is a logical fix:

```
-  if (!map)
-    return glnx_throw_errno_prefix (error, "mmap");
+  if (map == (void*)-1)
+    return glnx_null_throw_errno_prefix (error, "mmap");
```

Which would have helped me debug another patch I was working
on.  But it turns out that actually correctly checking for
errors from `mmap()` triggers lots of other bugs - basically
because we sometimes handle zero-length variants (in detached
metadata).  When we start actually returning errors due to
this, things break.  (It wasn't a problem in practice before
because most things looked at the zero size, not the data).

Anyways there's a bigger picture issue here - a while ago
we made a fix to only use `mmap()` for reading metadata from disk
only if it was large enough (i.e. `>16k`).  But that didn't
help various other paths in the pull code and others that were
directly doing the `mmap()`.

Fix this by having a proper low level fs helper that does "read all data from
fd+offset into GBytes", which handles the size check. Then the `GVariant` bits
are just a clean layer on top of this. (At the small cost of an additional
allocation)

Side note: I had to remind myself, but the reason we can't just use
`GMappedFile` here is it doesn't support passing an offset into `mmap()`.

Colin Walters b8c15ae859 lib/pull: Fix regression with pull-local for nonexistent refs
I was reading the pull code for the last release, and spotted
a bug in commit f923c2e1ea - in
the case where the ref doesn't exist, we don't set an error,
tripping an assertion in the main code.

The previous code wanted the ref to always exist, so just flip back the boolean
for "ignore noent". I moved the `g_strchomp()` just into the HTTP path - if a
local repo is corrupted in this way it's something to fix in that repo.

Philip Withnall 9d8c1ec7df lib/repo-pull: Fix remote names in refspecs from non-mirror P2P pulls
Propagate the refspec_name from the OstreeRemote returned by an

This changes ostree_repo_pull_with_options() to accept the
previously-disallowed combination of passing override-remote-name in
options and also setting a remote name in remote_name_or_baseurl.
ostree_repo_pull_with_options() will continue to pull using the remote
config named in remote_name_or_baseurl as before; but will now use the
remote name from override-remote-name when it’s setting the refs at the
end of the pull. This is consistent with the documentation for
override-remote-name.

Colin Walters c6f972406e lib/pull: Add status for imported objects
Followup for recent work in commits:

 - 8a7a359709
 - 1a9a473580

Keep track of how many objects we imported, and print that for `ostree
pull-local` (also do this even if noninteractive, like we did for `pull`).

In implementing this at first I used separate variables for import
from repo vs import from localcache, but that broke some of the
tests that checked those values.

It's easier to just merge them; we know from looking at whether or not
`remote_repo_local` is set whether or not we were doing a "HTTP pull with
localcache" versus a true `pull-local` and can use that when rendering status.

Philip Withnall f923c2e1ea src/pull: Support local pulls for collection–refs
Previously, collection–refs could only be pulled from a repository if it
had a summary file (which listed them). There was no way to pull from a
local repository which doesn’t have a summary file, and where the refs
were stored as refs/remotes/$remote/$ref, with a config section linking
that $remote to the queried collection ID.

Colin Walters 25a7c4bd4e lib/pull: Default checksum for archive mirror, add TRUSTED_HTTP flag
I now think commit fab1e113db was a mistake;
because it breaks the mental model that at least I'd built up that "local repos
don't have checksums verified, HTTP does".

For example, a problem with this is (with that mental model in place) it's easy
for people who set up mirrors like this to then do local pulls, and at that
point we've done a deployment with no checksum verification.

Further, since then we did PR #671 AKA commit 3d38f03 which is really most of
the speed hit.

So let's switch the default even for this case to doing checksum verification,
and add `ostree pull --http-trusted`. People who are in situations where they
know they want this can find it and turn it on.

Colin Walters 5c4f26bd65 lib/pull: Wait for pending ops to complete on error
I saw in a stack trace that the main thread was calling `exit()` even while
worker threads were alive and doing sha256/write/fsync etc. for objects.

The stack trace was a SEGV as the main thread was calling into library
`atexit()` handlers and we were a liblz4 destructor:

```
 #0  0x00007f2db790f8d4 _fini (liblz4.so.1)
 #1  0x00007f2dbbae1c68 __run_exit_handlers (libc.so.6)
```

(Why that library has a destructor I don't know offhand, can't find
 it in the source in a quick look)

Anyways, global library destructors and worker threads continuing simply don't
mix. Let's wait for our outstanding operations before we exit. This is also a
good idea for projects using libostree as a shared library, as we don't want
worker threads outliving operations.

Our existing pull corruption tests exercise coverage here.

When returning results from finding repos, set gpg-verify-summary=false

refs, summaries *cannot* be signed, so setting gpg-verify-summary=true
would cause all the pulls to fail.

The unsigned summary support is the move of repository metadata from

(spliceable, as it can exist for multiple collection IDs in the same

`#define`s like we did for some of the other commit metadata.

Colin Walters c740b7f6d2 core: Sanitize error text validating refs (e.g. against HTML)
See: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/885

If we get a successful Apache directory listing HTML when fetching what we
intend to be a ref, we'd dump the HTML into the error.

I did some scanning of the pull code, and this was the only case
I saw offhand where we were dumping text out into an error.  Which
makes sense, since most of our formats are binary, the exeptions I
think are just `repo/config` and `repo/refs/`.

Colin Walters 2a9689b76a Update libglnx, port various bits to new API
Using the error prefixing in the delta processing allows us to
do new code style.  Also strip trailing whitespace.

Use error prefixing in a few other random places.  I didn't
hunt for all of them, just testing out the new API.

Use `glnx_fchmod()`.  Also note I dropped one `fchmod (tmpf, 0600)`
which is no longer necessary.

Colin Walters efd460782a lib/pull: Drop direct use of ->repodir
Prep for `ostree_repo_new_at()`.  Down the line perhaps
we should extend libcurl to accept a file descriptor for cookies,
but this works OK for now.

Colin Walters 8b1f1c4428 lib/pull: Do local content imports async too
This came up in <https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/982>; when
we added more direct local importing, we did it synchronously.

This was actually quite a regression when doing local pulls between different
modes; in particular between a bare mode and `archive`, as we were suddenly
doing gzip {de,}compression in the main thread.

Down the line actually...a simpler fix is probably to change things so that the
local path is really only used when we know we can hardlink; everything else
would go though the fetcher codepath but with `file://`.

But this isn't a lot more code, and the speed/interactivity win is large.

Note we're only doing content async with this patch. We could do metadata as
well; we have the object already local. But the metadata code path is messier,
and metadata objects are smaller.

Another area where this comes up is that in e.g. Fedora releng, most operations
talk to a NetApp via NFS. So this has the classic network filesystem problem
that operations that are normally cheap like `stat()` can actually have
nontrivial latency. Doing as much as possible in threads is better there too.
