Commit dddbad728c ("timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps",
26-04-2017) introduced a new typedef 'timestamp_t', as a synonym for an
unsigned long, which was used at the time to represent timestamps in
git. A later commit 28f4aee3fb ("use uintmax_t for timestamps",
26-04-2017) changed the typedef to use an 'uintmax_t' for the timestamp
representation type.

When building on a 32-bit Linux system, sparse complains that a constant
(USTAR_MAX_MTIME) used to detect a 'far-future mtime' timestamp, is too
large; 'warning: constant 077777777777UL is so big it is unsigned long
long' on lines 335 and 338 of archive-tar.c. Note that both gcc and
clang only issue a warning if this constant is used in a context that
requires an 'unsigned long' (rather than an uintmax_t). (Since TIME_MAX
is no longer equal to 0xFFFFFFFF, even on a 32-bit system, the macro
USTAR_MAX_MTIME is set to 077777777777UL, which cannot be represented as
an 'unsigned long' constant).

In order to suppress the warning, change the definition of the macro
constant USTAR_MAX_MTIME to use an 'ULL' type suffix.

In a similar vein, on systems which use a 64-bit representation of the
'unsigned long' type, the USTAR_MAX_SIZE constant macro is defined with
the value 077777777777ULL. Although this does not cause any warning
messages to be issued, it would be more appropriate for this constant
to use an 'UL' type suffix rather than 'ULL'.

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.

As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

As we are not yet moving everything to size_t but still using ulong
internally when talking about the size of object, platforms with
32-bit long will not be able to produce tar archive with 4GB+ file,
and cannot grok 077777777777UL as a constant.  Disable the extended
header feature and do not test it on them.

<title>archive-tar: write extended headers for far-future mtime</title>

The ustar format represents timestamps as seconds since the
epoch, but only has room to store 11 octal digits.  To
express anything larger, we need to use an extended header.
This is exactly the same case we fixed for the size field in
the previous commit, and the solution here follows the same
pattern.

This is even mentioned as an issue in f2f0267 (archive-tar:
use xsnprintf for trivial formatting, 2015-09-24), but since
it only affected things far in the future, it wasn't deemed
worth dealing with. But note that my calculations claiming
thousands of years were off there; because our xsnprintf
produces a NUL byte, we only have until the year 2242 to fix
this.

Given that this is just around the corner (geologically
speaking, anyway), and because it's easy to fix, let's just
make it work. Unlike the previous fix for "size", where we
had to write an individual extended header for each file, we
can write one global header (since we have only one mtime
for the whole archive).

There's a slight bit of trickiness there. We may already be
writing a global header with a "comment" field for the
commit sha1. So we need to write our new field into the same
header. To do this, we push the decision of whether to write
such a header down into write_global_extended_header(),
which will now assemble the header as it sees fit, and will
return early if we have nothing to write (in practice, we'll
only have a large mtime if it comes from a commit, but this
makes it also work if you set your system clock ahead such
that time() returns a huge value).

Note that we don't (and never did) handle negative
timestamps (i.e., before 1970). This would probably not be
too hard to support in the same way, but since git does not
support negative timestamps at all, I didn't bother here.

After writing the extended header, we munge the timestamp in
the ustar headers to the maximum-allowable size. This is
wrong, but it's the least-wrong thing we can provide to a
tar implementation that doesn't understand pax headers (it's
also what GNU tar does).

<title>archive-tar: write extended headers for file sizes &gt;= 8GB</title>

<id>d1657b570a44108e49032962da201aad48689605</id>
<content type='text'>
The ustar format has a fixed-length field for the size of
each file entry which is supposed to contain up to 11 bytes
of octal-formatted data plus a NUL or space terminator.

These means that the largest size we can represent is
077777777777, or 1 byte short of 8GB. The correct solution
for a larger file, according to POSIX.1-2001, is to add an
extended pax header, similar to how we handle long
filenames. This patch does that, and writes zero for the
size field in the ustar header (the last bit is not
mentioned by POSIX, but it matches how GNU tar behaves with
--format=pax).

This should be a strict improvement over the current
behavior, which is to die in xsnprintf with a "BUG".
However, there's some interesting history here.

Prior to f2f0267 (archive-tar: use xsnprintf for trivial
formatting, 2015-09-24), we silently overflowed the "size"
field. The extra bytes ended up in the "mtime" field of the
header, which was then immediately written itself,
overwriting our extra bytes. What that means depends on how
many bytes we wrote.

If the size was 64GB or greater, then we actually overflowed
digits into the mtime field, meaning our value was
effectively right-shifted by those lost octal digits. And
this patch is again a strict improvement over that.

But if the size was between 8GB and 64GB, then our 12-byte
field held all of the actual digits, and only our NUL
terminator overflowed. According to POSIX, there should be a
NUL or space at the end of the field. However, GNU tar seems
to be lenient here, and will correctly parse a size up 64GB
(minus one) from the field. So sizes in this range might
have just worked, depending on the implementation reading
the tarfile.

This patch is mostly still an improvement there, as the 8GB
limit is specifically mentioned in POSIX as the correct
limit. But it's possible that it could be a regression
(versus the pre-f2f0267 state) if all of the following are
true:

  1. You have a file between 8GB and 64GB.

  2. Your tar implementation _doesn't_ know about pax
     extended headers.

  3. Your tar implementation _does_ parse 12-byte sizes from
     the ustar header without a delimiter.

It's probably not worth worrying about such an obscure set
of conditions, but I'm documenting it here just in case.

overwriting our extra bytes. What that means depends on how
many bytes we wrote.

If the size was 64GB or greater, then we actually overflowed
digits into the mtime field, meaning our value was
effectively right-shifted by those lost octal digits. And
this patch is again a strict improvement over that.

But if the size was between 8GB and 64GB, then our 12-byte
field held all of the actual digits, and only our NUL
terminator overflowed. According to POSIX, there should be a
NUL or space at the end of the field. However, GNU tar seems
to be lenient here, and will correctly parse a size up 64GB
(minus one) from the field. So sizes in this range might
have just worked, depending on the implementation reading
the tarfile.

This patch is mostly still an improvement there, as the 8GB
limit is specifically mentioned in POSIX as the correct
limit. But it's possible that it could be a regression
(versus the pre-f2f0267 state) if all of the following are
true:

  1. You have a file between 8GB and 64GB.

  2. Your tar implementation _doesn't_ know about pax
     extended headers.

  3. Your tar implementation _does_ parse 12-byte sizes from
     the ustar header without a delimiter.

It's probably not worth worrying about such an obscure set
of conditions, but I'm documenting it here just in case.
