bundle2: store changeset count when creating file bundles
The bundle2 changegroup part has an advisory param saying how many
changesets are in the part. Before this patch, we were setting
this part when generating bundle2 parts via the wire protocol but
not when generating local bundle2 files.
A side effect of not setting the changeset count part is that progress
bars don't work when applying changesets. As the tests show, this
impacted clone bundles, shelve, backup bundles, `hg unbundle`, and
anything touching bundle2 files.
This patch adds a backdoor to allow us to pass state from
changegroup generation into the unbundler. We store the number
of changesets in the changegroup in this state and use it to
populate the aforementioned advisory part parameter when generating
the bundle2 bundle.
I concede that I'm not thrilled by how state is being passed in
changegroup.py (it feels a bit hacky). I would love to overhaul the
rather confusing set of functions in changegroup.py with something that
passes rich objects around instead of e.g. low-level generators.
However, given the code freeze for 3.9 is imminent, I'd rather not
undertake this endeavor right now. This feels like the easiest way
to get the parameter added to the changegroup part.

util: implement a deterministic __repr__ on sortdict
`hg debugbundle` is calling repr() on bundle2 part params, which are
now util.sortdict instances. Unfortunately, repr() doesn't appear
to be deterministic for util.sortdict. So, we implement one.
We include the type name because that's the common convention for
__repr__ implementations. Having the type name in `hg debugbundle`
is a bit ugly. But it's a debug command and I don't care enough to
fix it.

bundle2: use a sorted dict for holding parameters
An upcoming change that introduces a 2nd part parameter to a part
reveals that `hg debugbundle` isn't deterministic because parameters
are stored on n plain, unsorted dict.
While we could change that command to sort before output, I think
the more important underlying issue is that bundle2 reading is taking
an ordered data structure and converting it to an unordered one.
Plugging in util.sortdict() fixes that problem while preserving API
compatibility.
This patch also appears to shine light on the fact that we don't
have tests verifying parts with multiple parameters roundtrip
correctly. That would be a good thing to test (and fuzz)... someday.

wireproto: extract repo filtering to standalone function
As part of teaching Mozilla's replication extension to better handle
repositories with obsolescence data, I encountered a few scenarios
where I wanted built-in wire protocol commands from replication clients
to operate on unfiltered repositories so they could have access to
obsolete changesets.
While the undocumented "web.view" config option provides a mechanism
to choose what filter/view hgweb operates on, this doesn't apply
to wire protocol commands because wireproto.dispatch() is always
operating on the "served" repo.
This patch extracts the line for obtaining the repo that
wireproto commands operate on to its own function so extensions
can monkeypatch it to e.g. return an unfiltered repo.
I stopped short of exposing a config option because I view the use
case for changing this as a niche feature, best left to the domain
of extensions.

url: add distribution and version to user-agent request header (BC)
As a server operator, I've always wanted to know what Mercurial
version clients are running so I can track version adoption and
make informed decisions about which versions of Mercurial to
support in extensions. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to discern
this today: the best you can do is look for high-level feature usage
(e.g. bundle2) or sniff capabilities from bundle2 commands. And these
things aren't changed frequently enough to tell you anything that
interesting.
Nearly every piece of software talking HTTP sends its version in
the user agent. This includes web browsers, curl, and even Git.
This patch adds the distribution name and version to the user-agent
HTTP request header. We choose "Mercurial" for the distribution
name because that seems appropriate. The version string comes
from __version__.
The value is inside parenthesis for a few reasons:
* The version *may* contain spaces
* Alternate forms like "Mercurial/<version>" imply structure and
since the user agent should not be used by servers for protocol
or feature negotiation/detection, we don't want to even give the
illusion that the value should be parsed. A free form field is
the most hostile to parsing.
Flagging the patch as BC so it shows up in release notes. This
change should be backwards compatible. But I wouldn't be surprised if
a server somewhere is filtering on the exact old user agent string. So
I want to make noise about this change.

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

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.

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

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.
Thanks to Jun Wu for investigating these issues.
