portable: configure: split out dependencies
Rather than assume all dependencies are required for all programs, split them out. This will make packaging easier, as well as splitting the code to use subprojects. Note that due to the use of config.h semantics, in most cases the got_compat.h header file is now at the top of the .c file it is included in, so that it can handle the system header inclusion properly.
portable: rework SHA detection
Simply the SHA detection by not predicating on libcrypto, but instead checking individual header files.
portable: remove sha1.h; found portably
Remove sha1.h as this is found portably across systems.
include sha2.h too where sha1.h is included
In preparation for wide sha256 support; stsp@ agrees. Change done mechanically with find . -iname \*.[cy] -exec sam {} + X ,x/<sha1\.h>/i/\n#include <sha2.h>
fix mistaken instances returning NULL instead of err
While here, for consistency, check dup() return value for -1 rather than < 0. ok stsp@
use a caller-specified size limit for mapped files in got_object_raw_alloc()
Without this we end up being confused about whether a raw object has been mapped into memory, leading to crashes. ok op@
fix reference counting of raw objects opened via privsep helpers
Such objects were never closed, resulting in memory and file descriptor leaks.
introduce gotd(8), a Git repository server reachable via ssh(1)
This is an initial barebones implementation which provides the absolute minimum of functionality required to serve got(1) and git(1) clients. Basic fetch/send functionality has been tested and seems to work here, but this server is not yet expected to be stable. More testing is welcome. See the man pages for setup instructions. The current design uses one reader and one writer process per repository, which will have to be extended to N readers and N writers in the future. At startup, each process will chroot(2) into its assigned repository. This works because gotd(8) can only be started as root, and will then fork+exec, chroot, and privdrop. At present the parent process runs with the following pledge(2) promises: "stdio rpath wpath cpath proc getpw sendfd recvfd fattr flock unix unveil" The parent is the only process able to modify the repository in a way that becomes visible to Git clients. The parent uses unveil(2) to restrict its view of the filesystem to /tmp and the repositories listed in the configuration file gotd.conf(5). Per-repository chroot(2) processes use "stdio rpath sendfd recvfd". The writer defers to the parent for modifying references in the repository to point at newly uploaded commits. The reader is fine without such help, because Git repositories can be read without having to create any lock-files. gotd(8) requires a dedicated user ID, which should own repositories on the filesystem, and a separate secondary group, which should not have filesystem-level repository access, and must be allowed access to the gotd(8) socket. To obtain Git repository access, users must be members of this secondary group, and must have their login shell set to gotsh(1). gotsh(1) connects to the gotd(8) socket and speaks Git-protocol towards the client on the other end of the SSH connection. gotsh(1) is not an interactive command shell. At present, authenticated clients are granted read/write access to all repositories and all references (except for the "refs/got/" and the "refs/remotes/" namespaces, which are already being protected from modification). While complicated access control mechanism are not a design goal, making it possible to safely offer anonymous Git repository access over ssh(1) is on the road map.
portable: handle sys/tree.h
Unfortunately, MacOS doesn't provide sys/tree.h -- so the compat check for this must happen portably.
portable: remove sha1.h include
This is searched for portably.
move functions which open objects into new file object_open_privsep.c
For the future, this will make it possible to provide alternative implementations of functions now stored in object_open_privsep.c. This will probably be needed by future gotd(8) which runs inside a chroot(2) environment and without the "exec" pledge(2) promise, making it impossible to run libexec helpers on the fly. Details of this design are not yet settled, but moving functions into a separate compilation unit won't hurt in any case.
