This is somewhat experimental right now, and might not work
for everyone, so it is on an opt-in basis.

The flush function can be used for buffered writers.
|
|
We will soon implement a buffered writing decorator and we will
need to forward attribute changes to those.
|
|
These can be used to implement write buffering

There is not much point and this is more readable.

This is mostly a documentation issue, as the size we want to
read is always less than or equal to the size of the buffer,
so the return value will be the same as the size argument.
Nonetheless, people wondered about it, and it seems clearer
to just always use the return value.
|
|
This further improves our performance, and rred on uncompressed
files now spents 78% of its time in writing. Which means that
we should really look at buffering those.
|
|
The code uses memmove() to move parts of the buffer to the
front when the buffer is only partially read. By simply
reading one page at a time, the maximum size of bytes that
must be moved has a hard limit, and performance improves:
In one test case, consisting of a 430 MB Contents file,
and a 75K PDiff, applying the PDiff previously took about
48 seconds and now completes in 2 seconds.
Further speed up can be achieved by buffering writes, they
account for about 60% of the run-time now.

And as we are at it lets fix the 'style' issue I introduced with the
filefd changes as well.

We don't need the buffer that often - only for ReadLine - as it is only
occasionally used, so it is actually more efficient to allocate it if
needed instead of statically by default. It also allows the caller to
influence the buffer size instead of hardcoding it.

The default implementation of ReadLine was very naive by just reading
each character one-by-one. That is kinda okay for libraries implementing
compression as they have internal buffers (but still not great), but
while working with files directly or via a pipe as there is no buffer
there so all those reads are in fact system calls.
This commit introduces an internal buffer in the FileFd implementation
which is only used by ReadLine. The more low-level Read and all other
actions remain unbuffered – they just changed to deal with potential
"left-overs" in the buffer correctly.

If we use the library to compress xz, still try to understand and pick
up the arguments we would have used to call xz to figure out which level
the user wants us to use instead of defaulting to level 6 (which is the
default level of xz).

dpkg switched from CRC32 to CRC64 in
777915108d9d36d022dc4fc4151a615fc95e5032 with the message:
| This is the default CRC used by the xz command-line tool, align with
| it and switch from CRC32 to CRC64. It should provide slightly better
| detection against damaged data, at a negligible speed difference.
|
|
This isn't implementing any new features, it is "just" moving code
around from FileFd methods which decided on each call how to handle the
request by including all logic for all possible compressor backends in
the method body to a model in which backend-specifics are implemented in
a FileFdPrivate subclass. This avoids a big chunk of #ifdef's and should
make it a tiny bit more obvious which backend uses which code.
The execution of the idea is slightly uglified by the need to preserve
ABI and API which causes liberal befriending.

There's no point trying to read 0 bytes, so let's just not
do this and switch to a while loop like in Write().
Gbp-Dch: ignore

Turn the do-while loop into while loops, so it simply does nothing
if the Size is already 0.
This reverts commit c0b271edc2f6d9e5dea5ac82fbc911f0e3adfa7a which
introduced a fix for a specific instance of the issue in the
CopyFile() function.
Closes: #808381
|
|
On EOF, ToRead will be 0, which might trigger on some systems (e.g.
on the Hurd) an error due to the invalid byte count passed to write().
The whole loop already checks for ToRead != 0, so perform the writing
step only when there was actual data read.

Commit e977b8b9234ac5db32f2f0ad7e183139b988340d tries to make BufSize
calculated based on the size of the buffer; the problem is that
std::unique_ptr::size() returns a pointer to the data, so sizeof()
equals to the size of a pointer (later divided by sizeof(char), which
is 1). The result is that the CopyFile copies in chunks of 8 bytes,
which is not exactly ideal...
As solution, declare BufSize in advance, and use its value to allocate
the Buf array.

Dropping privileges is an involved process for code and system alike so
ideally we want to verify that all the work wasn't in vain. Stuff
designed to sidestep the usual privilege checks like fakeroot (and its
many alternatives) have their problem with this through, partly through
missing wrapping (#806521), partly as e.g. regaining root from an
unprivileged user is in their design. This commit therefore disables
most of these checks by default so that apt runs fine again in a
fakeroot environment.
Closes: 806475
|
|
This also deals with the unlikely case of groups being mentioned
multiple times or if the effective group isn't mentioned at all.
In practice, it is a debugging aid through like for #806475.

In 0940230d we started dropping privileges for file (and a bit later for
copy, too) with the intend of uniforming this for all methods. The
commit message says that the source will likely fail based on the
compressors already – and there isn't much secret in the repository
content. After all, after apt has run the update everyone can access the
content via apt anyway…
There are sources through which worked before which are mostly
single-deb (and those with the uncompressed files available).
The first one being especially surprising for users maybe, so instead of
failing, we make it so that apt detects that it can't access a source as
_apt and if so doesn't drop (for all sources!) privileges – but we limit
this to file/copy, so the uncompress which might be needed will still
fail – but that failed before this regression.
We display a notice about this, mostly so that if it still fails (e.g.
compressed) the user has some idea what is wrong.

Unlinking /dev/null is bad, we shouldn't do that. Also, we should print
at least a warning if we tried to unlink a file but didn't manage to
pull it of (ignoring the case were the file is /dev/null or doesn't
exist in the first place).
This got triggered by a relatively unlikely to cause problem in
pkgAcquire::Worker::PrepareFiles which would while temporary
uncompressed files (which are set to keep compressed) figure out that to
files are the same and prepare for sharing by deleting them. Bad move.
That also shows why not printing a warning is a bad idea as this hide
the error for in non-root test runs.

The wrapping will fail in the best case and actually end up deleting
/dev/null in the worst case. Given that there is no point in trying to
write atomically to /dev/null as you can't read from it again just
ignore these flags if higher level code ends up trying to use them on
/dev/null.

Our error reporting is historically grown into some kind of mess.
A while ago I implemented stacking for the global error which is used in
this commit now to wrap calls to functions which do not report (all)
errors via return, so that only failures in those calls cause a failure
to propergate down the chain rather than failing if anything
(potentially totally unrelated) has failed at some point in the past.
This way we can avoid stopping the entire acquire process just because a
single source produced an error for example. It also means that after
the acquire process the cache is generated – even if the acquire
process had failures – as we still have the old good data around we can and
should generate a cache for (again).
There are probably more instances of this hiding, but all these looked
like the easiest to work with and fix with reasonable (aka net-positive)
effects.

clang detects that fd isn't set in the ReadWrite case – just that this
is supposed to be catched earlier in this method already, but it doesn't
hurt to make it explicit here as well and clang is happy, too.

Pipes and such have no good Size value, but we still want to copy from
it maybe and we don't really need size as we can just as well read as
long as we get data out of a file to copy it.

Various smaller improvements so that the check deals better with already
downloaded files, relative paths and other things.

Using libpam-tmpdir caused us to create our download tmp directory in
root's private tmp before changing to _apt, which wouldn't have access
to it.
By extending our GetTempDir method with an optional wrapper changing the
effective user, we can test if a given user can access the directory and
ignore TMPDIR if not instead of ignoring TMPDIR completely.
Closes: 797270
|
|
We dup() the file descriptor when opening compressed files, so we
always need to close the dup()ed one. Furthermore, not unsetting
the d-pointer causes issues when running OpenDescriptor() multiple
times on the same file descriptor.
|
|
|
|
More standardization
|
|
This significantly reduces the number of files that have to be closed
and seems to be faster, despite the additional reads.
On systems where /proc/self/fd is not available, we fallback to the
old code that closes all file descriptors >= 3.
Closes: #764204

Trade deduplication of code for a bunch of new virtuals, so it is
actually visible how the different indexes behave cleaning up the
interface at large in the process.

Doing this disables the implicit copy assignment operator (among others)
which would cause hovac if used on the classes as it would just copy the
pointer, not the data the d-pointer points to. For most of the classes
we don't need a copy assignment operator anyway and in many classes it
was broken before as many contain a pointer of some sort.
Only for our Cacheset Container interfaces we define an explicit copy
assignment operator which could later be implemented to copy the data
from one d-pointer to the other if we need it.

Its a bit unpredictable which permissons and owners we will encounter on
a CD-ROM (or a USB stick, as apt-cdrom is responsible for those too),
so we have to ensure in this codepath as well that everything is nicely
setup without waiting for a 'apt-get update' to fix up the (potential)
mess.
|
|
Private temporary directories as created by e.g. libpam-tmpdir are nice,
but they are also very effective in preventing our priviledge dropping
to work as TMPDIR will be set to a directory only root has access to, so
working with it as _apt will fail. We circumvent this by extending our
check for a usable TMPDIR setting by checking access rights.

Similar to 8f45798d532223adc378a4ad9ecfc64b3be26e4f, there is no harm to
set this, even if we don't drop privileges.
Git-Dch: Ignore

Do not drop privileges in the methods when using a older version of
libapt that does not support the chown magic in partial/ yet. To
do this DropPrivileges() now will ignore a empty Apt::Sandbox::User.
Cleanup all hardcoded _apt along the way.
|

|
|
Changing user and co works only as root, but can do some things for
methods run as normal user as well to protect them from being able to
call setuid binaries like sudo to elevate their privileges.
Also uses a cheap trick now to build with old unsupporting kernels.
|
|
Git-Dch: Ignore
|
|
Ignore a EINVAL error here as it means that the kernel is too old
to understand this option. We should not fail hard in this case
but just ignore the error.
