From 09402100946e6892ebd1e75773eb390cdd7f28ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Cristian Sarbu Date: Fri, 12 May 2023 13:14:26 +0200 Subject: memcheck: fix race in libgit2... ...caused by incorrectly setting and resetting the library internal state and the misuse of pthreads in libgit2. Normally, git_libgit2_init and git_libgit2_shutdown should span the life of a worker thread in order to be safely used. However, due to an incorrect implementation of libgit2's threadstate with pthreads, on unix systems there is a race condition. Until the use of pthread_key_t is corrected in libgit2, we need to apply a workaround by always ensuring that the main thread is the first thread reaching the GitContext constructor. --- test/main.cpp | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) (limited to 'test/main.cpp') diff --git a/test/main.cpp b/test/main.cpp index c93583f2..bb431de2 100644 --- a/test/main.cpp +++ b/test/main.cpp @@ -13,9 +13,19 @@ // limitations under the License. #include "catch2/catch_session.hpp" +#include "src/buildtool/file_system/git_context.hpp" #include "test/utils/logging/log_config.hpp" auto main(int argc, char* argv[]) -> int { ConfigureLogging(); + + /** + * The current implementation of libgit2 uses pthread_key_t incorrectly + * on POSIX systems to handle thread-specific data, which requires us to + * explicitly make sure the main thread is the first one to call + * git_libgit2_init.
