2016-01-14fix M-A:foreign provides creation for unknown archsDavid Kalnischkies
Architectures for packages which do not belong to the native nor a foreign architecture (dubbed barbarian for now) which are marked M-A:foreign still provide in their own architecture even if not for others. Also, other M-A:foreign (and allowed) packages provide in these barbarian architectures.

I overlooked this Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-01-08AvailableDescriptionLanguages: Use one string for all iterationsJulian Andres Klode
Do not create strings within the loop, that creates one string per language and does more work than needed. Instead, reserve enough space at the beginning and assign the prefix, and then resize and append inside the loop. Also call exists with the string itself instead of the c_str(), this means that the lookup uses the size information in the string now and does not have to call strlen() on it.
2016-01-08Replace compare() == 0 checks with this == other checksJulian Andres Klode
This improves performance, as we now can ignore unequal strings based on their length already. Gbp-Dch: ignore
2016-01-07Switch performance critical code to use APT::StringViewJulian Andres Klode
This improves performance of the cache generation on my ARM platform (4x Cortex A15) by about 10% to 20% from 2.35-2.50 to 2.1 seconds.
2015-12-27ParseDepends: Mark branches for build-dep parsing as unlikelyJulian Andres Klode
We do not see those branches at all during normal mode of operation (that is, during cache generation), so tell the compiler about it.
2015-12-27debListParser: Do not validate Description-md5 for correctness twiceJulian Andres Klode
The Set() method returns false if the input is no hex number, so simply use that.
2015-12-27debListParser: ParseDepends: Only query native arch if neededJulian Andres Klode
This makes the code parsing architecture lists slower, but on the other hand, improves the more generic case of reading dependencies from Packages files.
2015-12-27Convert most callers of isspace() to isspace_ascii()Julian Andres Klode
This converts all callers that read machine-generated data, callers that might work with user input are not converted.
2015-12-11Convert package names from Packages files to lower caseJulian Andres Klode
dpkg does that when reading package files, so we should do the same. This only deals with parsing names from binary package paragraphs, it does not look at source package names and/or the list of binaries in a dsc file. Closes: #807012

More safety, less writeable memory.
2015-09-14implement dpkgs vision of interpreting pkg:<arch> dependenciesDavid Kalnischkies
How the Multi-Arch field and pkg:<arch> dependencies interact was discussed at DebConf15 in the "MultiArch BoF". dpkg and apt (among other tools like dose) had a different interpretation in certain scenarios which we resolved by agreeing on dpkg view – and this commit realizes this agreement in code. As was the case so far libapt sticks to the idea of trying to hide MultiArch as much as possible from individual frontends and instead translates it to good old SingleArch. There are certainly situations which can be improved in frontends if they know that MultiArch is upon them, but these are improvements – not necessary changes needed to unbreak a frontend. The implementation idea is simple: If we parse a dependency on foo:amd64 the dependency is formed on a package 'foo:amd64' of arch 'any'. This package is provided by package 'foo' of arch 'amd64', but not by 'foo' of arch 'i386'. Both of those foo packages provide each other through (assuming foo is M-A:foreign) to allow a dependency on 'foo' to be satisfied by either foo of amd64 or i386. Packages can also declare to provide 'foo:amd64' which is translated to providing 'foo:amd64:any' as well. This indirection over provides was chosen as the alternative would be to teach dependency resolvers how to deal with architecture specific dependencies – which violates the design idea of avoiding resolver changes, especially as architecture-specific dependencies are a cornercase with quite a few subtil rules. Handling it all over versioned provides as we already did for M-A in general seems much simpler as it just works for them. This switch to :any has actually a "surprising" benefit as well: Even frontends showing a package name via .Name() [which doesn't show the architecture] will display the "architecture" for dependencies in which it was explicitely requested, while we will not show the 'strange' :any arch in FullName(true) [= pretty-print] either. Before you had to specialcase these and by default you wouldn't get these details shown. The only identifiable disadvantage is that this complicates error reporting and handling. apt-get's ShowBroken has existing problems with virtual packages [it just shows the name without any reason], so that has to be worked on eventually. The other case is that detecting if a package is completely unknown or if it was at least referenced somewhere needs to acount for this "split" – not that it makes a practical difference which error is shown… but its one of the improvements possible.
2015-09-14M-A: allowed pkgs of unconfigured archs do not statisfy :anyDavid Kalnischkies
We parse all architectures we encounter recently, which means we also parse packages from architectures which are neither native nor foreign, but still came onto the system somehow (usually via heavy force).
2015-09-14store ':any' pseudo-packages with 'any' as architectureDavid Kalnischkies
Previously we had python:any:amd64, python:any:i386, … in the cache and the dependencies of an amd64 package would be on python:any:amd64, of an i386 on python:any:i386 and so on. That seems like a relatively pointless endeavor given that they will all be provided by the same packages and therefore also a waste of space. Git-Dch: Ignore

2015-08-27Do not parse Status fields from remote sourcesJulian Andres Klode
This could allow an attacker to mark a package as installed in a remote package index, as long as the package was not listed in the dpkg status file. This way, an attacker could force the installation of a package during a dist-upgrade, by providing two packages in an index, an older marked as installed, and a newer - apt would "upgrade" to the newer version.

2015-08-10drop obsolete explicit :none handling in pkgCacheGenDavid Kalnischkies
We archieve the same without the special handling now, so drop this code. Makes supporting this abdomination a little longer bearable as well. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10parse packages from all architectures into the cacheDavid Kalnischkies
Now that we can dynamically create dependencies and provides as needed rather than requiring to know with which architectures we will deal before running we can allow the listparser to parse all records rather than skipping records of "unknown" architectures. This can e.g. happen if a user has foreign architecture packages in his status file without dpkg knowing about this architecture (or apt configured in this way). A sideeffect is that now arch:all packages are (correctly) recorded as available from any Packages file, not just from the native one – which has its downsides for the resolver as mixed-arch source packages can appear in different architectures at different times, but that is the problem of the resolver and dealing with it in the parser is at best a hack (and also depends on a helpful repository). Another sideeffect is that his allows :none packages to appear in Packages files again as we don't do any kind of checks now, but given that they aren't really supported (anymore) by anyone we can live with that.
2015-08-10elimate duplicated code in pkgIndexFile subclassesDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10add volatile sources support in libapt-pkgDavid Kalnischkies
Sources are usually defined in sources.list (and co) and are pretty stable, but once in a while a frontend might want to add an additional "source" like a local .deb file to install this package (No support for 'real' sources being added this way as this is a multistep process). We had a hack in place to allow apt-get and apt to pull this of for a short while now, but other frontends are either left in the cold by this and/or the code for it looks dirty with FIXMEs plastering it and has on top of this also some problems (like including these 'volatile' sources in the srcpkgcache.bin file). So the biggest part in this commit is actually the rewrite of the cache generation as it is now potentially a three step process. The biggest problem with adding support now through is that this makes a bunch of previously mostly unusable by externs and therefore hidden classes public, so a bit of further tuneing on this now public API is in order…
2015-08-10just-in-time creation for (explicit) negative depsDavid Kalnischkies
Now that we deal with provides in a more dynamic fashion the last remaining problem is explicit dependencies like 'Conflicts: foo' which have to apply to all architectures, but creating them all at the same time requires us to know all architectures ending up in the cache which isn't needed to be the same set as all foreign architectures. The effect is visible already now through as this prevents the creation of a bunch of virtual packages for arch:all packages and as such also many dependencies, just not very visible if you don't look at the stats… Git-Dch Ignore
2015-08-10just-in-time creation for (implicit) ProvidesDavid Kalnischkies
Expecting the worst is easy to code, but has its disadvantages e.g. by creating package structures which otherwise would have never existed. By creating the provides instead at the time a package structure is added we are well prepared for the introduction of partial architectures, massive amounts of M-A:foreign (and :allowed) and co as far as provides are concerned at least. We have something relatively similar for dependencies already. Many tests are added for both M-A states and the code cleaned to properly support implicit provides for foreign architectures and architectures we 'just' happen to parse. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10hide implicit deps in apt-cache again by defaultDavid Kalnischkies
Before MultiArch implicits weren't a thing, so they were hidden by default by definition. Adding them for MultiArch solved many problems, but having no reliable way of detecting which dependency (and provides) is implicit or not causes problems everytime we want to output dependencies without confusing our observers with unneeded implementation details. The really notworthy point here is actually that we keep now a better record of how a dependency came to be so that we can later reason about it more easily, but that is hidden so deep down in the library internals that change is more the problems it solves than the change itself.
2015-08-10remove the compatibility markers for 4.13 abiDavid Kalnischkies
We aren't and we will not be really compatible again with the previous stable abi, so lets drop these markers (which never made it into a released version) for good as they have outlived their intend already. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10bunch of micro-optimizations for depcacheDavid Kalnischkies
DepCache functions are called a lot, so if we can squeeze some drops out of them for free we should do so. Takes also the opportunity to remove some whitespace errors from these functions. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10make all d-pointer * const pointersDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-12store Release files data in the CacheDavid Kalnischkies
We used to read the Release file for each Packages file and store the data in the PackageFile struct even through potentially many Packages (and Translation-*) files could use the same data. The point of the exercise isn't the duplicated data through. Having the Release files as first-class citizens in the Cache allows us to properly track their state as well as allows us to use the information also for files which aren't in the cache, but where we know to which Release file they belong (Sources are an example for this). This modifies the pkgCache structs, especially the PackagesFile struct which depending on how libapt users access the data in these structs can mean huge breakage or no visible change. As a single data point: aptitude seems to be fine with this. Even if there is breakage it is trivial to fix in a backportable way while avoiding breakage for everyone would be a huge pain for us. Note that not all PackageFile structs have a corresponding ReleaseFile. In particular the dpkg/status file as well as *.deb files have not. As these have only a Archive property need, the Component property takes over this duty and the ReleaseFile remains zero. This is also the reason why it isn't needed nor particularily recommended to change from PackagesFile to ReleaseFile blindly. Sticking with the earlier is usually the better option.

2015-04-12parse specific-arch dependencies correctly on single-arch systemsDavid Kalnischkies
On single-arch the parsing was creating groupnames like 'apt:amd64' even through it should be 'apt' and a package in it belonging to architecture amd64. The result for foreign architectures was as expected: The dependency isn't satisfiable, but for native architecture it means the wrong package (ala apt:amd64:amd64) is linked so this is also not satisfiable, which is very much not expected. No longer excluding single-arch from this codepath allows the generation of the correct links, which still link to non-exisiting packages for foreign dependencies, but natives link to the expected native package just as if no architecture was given. For negative arch-specific dependencies ala Conflicts this matter was worse as apt will believe there isn't a Conflict to resolve, tricking it into calculating a solution dpkg will refuse. Architecture specific positive dependencies are rare in jessie – the only one in amd64 main is foreign –, negative dependencies do not even exist. Neither class has a native specimen, so no package in jessie is effected by this bug, but it might be interesting for stretch upgrades. This also means the regression potential is very low. Closes: 777760
2015-03-16parse arch-qualified Provides correctlyHelmut Grohne
The underlying problem is that libapt-pkg does not correctly parse these provides. Internally, it creates a version named "baz:i386" with architecture amd64. Of course, such a package name is invalid and thus this version is completely inaccessible. Thus, this bug should not cause apt to accept a broken situation as valid. Nevertheless, it prevents using architecture qualified depends. Closes: 777071

2014-10-13do not inline virtual destructors with d-pointersDavid Kalnischkies
Reimplementing an inline method is opening a can of worms we don't want to open if we ever want to us a d-pointer in those classes, so we do the only thing which can save us from hell: move the destructors into the cc sources and we are good. Technically not an ABI break as the methods inline or not do the same (nothing), so a program compiled against the old version still works with the new version (beside that this version is still in experimental, so nothing really has been build against this library anyway). Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-10-08Update Status field values handlingGuillem Jover
Remove long obsolete (hold, hold-reinstreq, removal-failed) or just wrong (post-inst-failed vs postinst-failed) values, that have been autoconverted by dpkg at run-time to their new equivalents, so there should not be any such instance in any recent system (removal-failed since dpkg 1.1.4 in Apr 1996, hold and hold-reinstreq since dpkg 1.2.0 in May 1996). dpkg even stopped doing the mapping in 1.15.4 and 1.15.8 respectively. At the same time sort the list in the same order as they appear in the dpkg code.

2014-09-27store source name and version in binary cacheDavid Kalnischkies
Accessing the package records to acquire this information is pretty costly, so that information wasn't used so far in many places. The most noticeable user by far is EDSP at the moment, but there are ideas to change that which this commit tries to enable.
2014-09-27drop stored StringItems in favor of in-memory mappingsDavid Kalnischkies
Strings like Section names or architectures are needed vary often. Instead of writing them each time we need them, we deploy sharing for these special strings. Until now, this was done with a linked list of strings in which we would search, which was stored in the cache. It turns out we can do this just as well in memory as well with a bunch of std::map's. In memory means here that it isn't available anymore if we have a partly invalid cache, but that isn't much of a problem in practice as the status file is compared to the other files we parse very small and includes mostly duplicates, so the space we would gain by storing is more or less equal to the size of the stored linked list…

2014-08-26support versioned provides as implemented by dpkgDavid Kalnischkies
APT supported versioned provides for a long while in an attempt to get it working with rpm. While this support is old, we can be relatively sure that it works as versioned provides are used internally to make Multi-Arch:foreign work. Previous versions of apt will print a warning indicating that the versioned provides is ignored, so that something which "Provides: foo (= 2)" doesn't provide anything. Note that dpkg does allow only a equals-relation in the provides line as anything else is deemed too complex. apt doesn't support anything else either and such a support would require potentially big changes. Closes: 758153

2014-07-07handle moved mmap after UniqFindTagWrite callDavid Kalnischkies
A call to UniqFindTagWrite can trigger the need for a bigger mmap, which is usually done by moving it, but with this move all pointers into it become invalid (and have to be remapped). The compiler calculates the pointer before the execution of the call though, so it tries to store the returned value at the old location, resulting in a segfault. We solve this by use of a temprorary variable as we did in the other instances of this problem before. Closes: #753941
2014-06-18remove the Section member from package structDavid Kalnischkies
A version belongs to a section and has hence a section member of its own. A package on the other hand can have multiple versions from different sections. This was "solved" by using the section which was parsed first as order of sources.list defines, but that is obviously a horribly unpredictable thing. We therefore directly remove this struct member to free some space and mark the access method as deprecated, which is told to return the section of the 'newest' known version, which is at least predictable, but possible not what it returned before – but nobody knows. Users are way better of with the Section() as returned by the version they are dealing with. It is likely the same for all versions of a package, but in the few cases it isn't, it is important (like packages moving from main/* to contrib/* or into oldlibs …).
2014-06-18cleanup datatypes mix used in binary cacheDavid Kalnischkies
We had a wild mixture of (unsigned) int, long and long long here without much sense, so this commit adds a few typedefs to get some sense in the typesystem and ensures that a ID isn't sometimes computed as int, stored as long and compared with a long long… as this could potentially bite us later on as the size of the archive only increases over time.
2014-05-09parse and retrieve multiple Descriptions in one recordDavid Kalnischkies
It seems unlikely for now that proper archives will carry multiple Description-* stanzas in the Packages (or Translation-*) file, but sometimes apt eats its own output as shown by the usage of the CD team and it would be interesting to let apt output multiple translations e.g. in 'apt-cache show'.
