This avoids some issues with InternalWrite returning 0 because
it just cannot write stuff at the moment.
|
|
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

This converts all callers that read machine-generated data,
callers that might work with user input are not converted.

This is like isspace(), but ignores the current locale.

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.
Closes: #808381

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.

Out of memory and similar circumstanzas could cause MMap::Map to fail
and especially the mmap/malloc calls in it. With some additional
checking we can avoid segfaults and similar in such situations – at
least in theory as if this is a real out of memory everything we do to
handle the error could just as well run into a memory problem as well…
But at least in theory (if MMap::Map is made to fail always) we can deal
with it so good that a user actually never sees a failure (as the cache
it tries to load with it fails and is discarded, so that DynamicMMap
takes over and a new one is build) instead of segfaulting.

space-gapping: '-o option= value'
That is a very old feature (straight from 1998), but it is super
surprising if you try setting empty values and instead get error
messages or a non-empty value as the next parameter is treated as the
value – which could have been empty, so if for some reason you need a
compatible way of setting an empty value try: '-o option="" ""'.
I can only guess that the idea was to support '-o option value', but we
survived 17 years without it, we will do fine in the future I guess.
Similar is the case for '-t= testing' even through '-t testing' existed
before and the code even tried to detect mistakes like '-t= -b' … all
gone now.
Technically that is as its removing a feature replacing it with another
a major interface break. In practice I really hope for my and their
sanity that nobody was using this; but if for some reaon you do: Remove
the space and be done.
I found the patch and the bugreport actually only after the fact, but
its reassuring that others are puzzled by this as well and hence a
thanks is in perfect order here as the patch is practical identical
[expect that this one here adds tests and other bonus items].
Thanks: Daniel Hartwig for initial patch.

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.

-q is for logging and -qqq (old -qq) basically kills every output expect
errors, so there should be a way of declaring a middleground in which
the output of e.g. 'update' isn't as verbose, but still shows some
things. The test framework was actually making use of by accident as it
ignored the quiet level in output setup for apt before.
Eventually we should figure out some better quiet levels for all tools…

All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to

That is one huge commit with busy work only: Help messages used to be
one big translateable string, which is a pain for translators and hard
to reuse for us. This change there 'explodes' this single string into
new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the
translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as
previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy.
The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate
one and similar stuff.

Especially with apt now, it can be useful to set an option only for apt
and not for apt-get. Using a binary-specific subtree which is merged into
the root seems like a simple enough trick to achieve this.

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.
