perf: import newer modules separately for earlier Mercurial
demandimport of early Mercurial loads an imported module immediately,
if a module is imported absolutely by "from a import b" style. Recent
perf.py satisfies this condition, because it does:
- have "from __future__ import absolute_import" line
- use "from a import b" style for modules in "mercurial" package
Before this patch, importing modules below prevents perf.py from being
loaded by earlier Mercurial, because these aren't available in such
Mercurial, even though there are some code paths for Mercurial earlier
than 1.9.
- branchmap 2.5 (or
bcee63733aad)
- repoview 2.5 (or
3a6ddacb7198)
- obsolete 2.3 (or
ad0d6c2b3279)
- scmutil 1.9 (or
8b252e826c68)
For example, setting "_prereadsize" attribute in perfindex() and
perfnodelookup() is effective only with Mercurial earlier than 1.8 (or
61c9bc3da402).
After this patch, "mercurial.error" is the only blocker in "from
mercurial import" statement for loading perf.py with Mercurial earlier
than 1.2. This patch ignores it, because just importing it separately
isn't enough.

sslutil: print a warning when using TLS 1.0 on legacy Python
Mercurial now requires TLS 1.1+ when TLS 1.1+ is supported by the
client. Since we made the decision to require TLS 1.1+ when running
with modern Python versions, it makes sense to do something for
legacy Python versions that only support TLS 1.0.
Feature parity would be to prevent TLS 1.0 connections out of the
box and require a config option to enable them. However, this is
extremely user hostile since Mercurial wouldn't talk to https://
by default in these installations! I can easily see how someone
would do something foolish like use "--insecure" instead - and
that would be worse than allowing TLS 1.0!
This patch takes the compromise position of printing a warning when
performing TLS 1.0 connections when running on old Python
versions. While this warning is no more annoying than the
CA certificate / fingerprint warnings in Mercurial 3.8, we provide
a config option to disable the warning because to many people
upgrading Python to make the warning go away is not an available
recourse (unlike pinning fingerprints is for the CA warning).
The warning appears as optional output in a lot of tests.

sslutil: require TLS 1.1+ when supported
Currently, Mercurial will use TLS 1.0 or newer when connecting to
remote servers, selecting the highest TLS version supported by both
peers. On older Pythons, only TLS 1.0 is available. On newer Pythons,
TLS 1.1 and 1.2 should be available.
Security professionals recommend avoiding TLS 1.0 if possible.
PCI DSS 3.1 "strongly encourages" the use of TLS 1.2.
Known attacks like BEAST and POODLE exist against TLS 1.0 (although
mitigations are available and properly configured servers aren't
vulnerable).
I asked Eric Rescorla - Mozilla's resident crypto expert - whether
Mercurial should drop support for TLS 1.0. His response was
"if you can get away with it." Essentially, a number of servers on
the Internet don't support TLS 1.1+. This is why web browsers
continue to support TLS 1.0 despite desires from security experts.
This patch changes Mercurial's default behavior on modern Python
versions to require TLS 1.1+, thus avoiding known security issues
with TLS 1.0 and making Mercurial more secure by default. Rather
than drop TLS 1.0 support wholesale, we still allow TLS 1.0 to be
used if configured. This is a compromise solution - ideally we'd
disallow TLS 1.0. However, since we're not sure how many Mercurial
servers don't support TLS 1.1+ and we're not sure how much user
inconvenience this change will bring, I think it is prudent to ship
an escape hatch that still allows usage of TLS 1.0. In the default
case our users get better security. In the worst case, they are no
worse off than before this patch.
This patch has no effect when running on Python versions that don't
support TLS 1.1+.
As the added test shows, connecting to a server that doesn't
support TLS 1.1+ will display a warning message with a link to
our wiki, where we can guide people to configure their client to
allow less secure connections.

sslutil: config option to specify TLS protocol version
Currently, Mercurial will use TLS 1.0 or newer when connecting to
remote servers, selecting the highest TLS version supported by both
peers. On older Pythons, only TLS 1.0 is available. On newer Pythons,
TLS 1.1 and 1.2 should be available.
Security-minded people may want to not take any risks running
TLS 1.0 (or even TLS 1.1). This patch gives those people a config
option to explicitly control which TLS versions Mercurial should use.
By providing this option, one can require newer TLS versions
before they are formally deprecated by Mercurial/Python/OpenSSL/etc
and lower their security exposure. This option also provides an
easy mechanism to change protocol policies in Mercurial. If there
is a 0-day and TLS 1.0 is completely broken, we can act quickly
without changing much code.
Because setting the minimum TLS protocol is something you'll likely
want to do globally, this patch introduces a global config option under
[hostsecurity] for that purpose.
wrapserversocket() has been taught a hidden config option to define
the explicit protocol to use. This is queried in this function and
not passed as an argument because I don't want to expose this dangerous
option as part of the Python API. There is a risk someone could footgun
themselves. But the config option is a devel option, has a warning
comment, and I doubt most people are using `hg serve` to run a
production HTTPS server (I would have something not Mercurial/Python
handle TLS). If this is problematic, we can go back to using a
custom extension in tests to coerce the server into bad behavior.

sslutil: prevent CRIME
ssl.create_default_context() disables compression on the TLS channel
in order to prevent CRIME. I think we should follow CPython's lead
and attempt to disable channel compression in order to help prevent
information leakage.
Sadly, I don't think there is anything we can do on Python versions
that don't have an SSLContext, as there is no way to set channel
options with the limited ssl API.

sslutil: update comment about create_default_context()
While ssl.create_default_context() creates a SSLContext with

was in place.)

tests: use sslutil.wrapserversocket()
Like the built-in HTTPS server, this code was using the ssl module
directly and only using TLS 1.0. Like the built-in HTTPS server,
we switch it to use sslutil.wrapserversocket() so it can follow better
practices.

hgweb: use sslutil.wrapserversocket()
This patch transitions the built-in HTTPS server to use sslutil for
creating the server socket.
As part of this transition, we implement developer-only config options
to control CA loading and whether to require client certificates. This
eliminates the need for the custom extension in test-https.t to define
these.
There is a slight change in behavior with regards to protocol
selection. Before, we would always use the TLS 1.0 constant to define
the protocol version. This would *only* use TLS 1.0. sslutil defaults
to TLS 1.0+. So this patch improves the security of `hg serve` out of
the box by allowing it to use TLS 1.1 and 1.2 (if available).

rebase: remove sortedstate-related confusion
The following rebase implementation details are frustrating:
- storing a list of sorted revision numbers in a field named sortedstate
- having sortedstate be a field of the rebaseruntime class
- using sortedstate[-1] as opposed to a more intuitive max(self.state) to
compute the latest revision in the state
This commit fixes those imperfections.

and the perf overhead is negligible.

mercurial: implement a source transforming module loader on Python 3
The most painful part of ensuring Python code runs on both Python 2
and 3 is string encoding. Making this difficult is that string
literals in Python 2 are bytes and string literals in Python 3 are
unicode. So, to ensure consistent types are used, you have to
use "from __future__ import unicode_literals" and/or prefix literals
with their type (e.g. b'foo' or u'foo').
Nearly every string in Mercurial is bytes. So, to use the same source
code on both Python 2 and 3 would require prefixing nearly every
string literal with "b" to make it a byte literal. This is ugly and
not something mpm is willing to do at this point in time.
This patch implements a custom module loader on Python 3 that performs
source transformation to convert string literals (unicode in Python 3)
to byte literals. In effect, it changes Python 3's string literals to
behave like Python 2's.
In addition, the module loader recognizes well-known built-in
functions (getattr, setattr, hasattr) and methods (encode and decode)
that barf when bytes are used and prevents these from being rewritten.
This prevents excessive source changes to accommodate this change
(we would have to rewrite every occurrence of these functions passing
string literals otherwise).
The module loader is only used on Python packages belonging to
Mercurial.
The loader works by tokenizing the loaded source and replacing
"string" tokens if necessary. The modified token stream is
untokenized back to source and loaded like normal. This does add some
overhead. However, this all occurs before caching: .pyc files will
cache the transformed version. This means the transformation penalty
is only paid on first load.
As the extensive inline comments explain, the presence of a custom
source transformer invalidates assumptions made by Python's built-in
bytecode caching mechanism. So, we have to wrap bytecode loading and
writing and add an additional header to bytecode files to facilitate
additional cache validation when the source transformations
change in the future.
There are still a few things this code doesn't handle well, namely
support for zip files as module sources and for extensions. Since
Mercurial doesn't officially support Python 3 yet, I'm inclined to
leave these as to-do items: getting a basic module loading mechanism
in place to unblock further Python 3 porting effort is more important
than comprehensive module importing support.
check-py3-compat.py has been updated to ignore frames. This is
necessary because CPython has built-in code to strip frames from the
built-in importer. When our custom code is present, this doesn't work
and the frames get all messed up. The new code is not perfect. It
works for now. But once you start chasing import failures you find
some edge cases where the files aren't being printed properly. This
only burdens people doing future Python 3 porting work so I'm inclined
to punt on the issue: the most important thing is for the source
transforming module loader to land.
There was a bit of churn in test-check-py3-compat.t because we now
trip up on str/unicode/bytes failures as a result of source
transformation. This is unfortunate but what are you going to do.
It's worth noting that other approaches were investigated.
We considered using a custom file encoding whose decode() would
apply source transformations. This was rejected because it would
require each source file to declare its custom Mercurial encoding.
Furthermore, when changing the source transformation we'd need to
version bump the encoding name otherwise the module caching layer
wouldn't know the .pyc file was invalidated. This would mean mass
updating every file when the source transformation changes. Yuck.
We also considered transforming at the AST layer. However, Python's
ast module is quite gnarly and doing AST transforms is quite
complicated, even for trivial rewrites. There are whole Python packages
that exist to make AST transformations usable. AST transforms would
still require import machinery, so the choice was basically to
perform source-level, token-level, or ast-level transforms.
Token-level rewriting delivers the metadata we need to rewrite
intelligently while being relatively easy to understand. So it won.
General consensus seems to be that this approach is the best available
to avoid bulk rewriting of '' to b''. However, we aren't confident
that this approach will never be a future maintenance burden. This
approach does unblock serious Python 3 porting efforts. So we can
re-evaulate once more work is done to support Python 3.

commandserver: add new forking server implemented without using SocketServer
SocketServer.ForkingMixIn of Python 2.x has a couple of issues, such as:
- race condition that leads to 100% CPU usage (Python 2.6)
https://bugs.python.org/
issue21491
- can't wait for children belonging to different process groups (Python 2.6)
- leaves at least one zombie process (Python 2.6, 2.7)
https://bugs.python.org/
issue11109
The first two are critical because we do setpgid(0, 0) in child process to
isolate terminal signals. The last one isn't, but ForkingMixIn seems to be
doing silly. So there are two choices:
a) backport and maintain SocketServer until we can drop support for Python 2.x
b) replace SocketServer by simpler one and eliminate glue codes
I chose (b) because it's great time for getting rid of utterly complicated
SocketServer stuff, and preparing for future move towards prefork service.
New unixforkingservice is implemented loosely based on chg
531f8ef64be6. It
is monolithic but much simpler than SocketServer. unixservicehandler provides
customizing points for chg, and it will be shared with future prefork service.
Old unixservice class is still used by chgserver. It will be removed later.
