Series hash: introduce unsafe_hash_algo(), drop unsafe_ variants | expand

Taylor Blau Jan. 8, 2025, 7:14 p.m. UTC
In 106140a99f (builtin/fast-import: fix segfault with unsafe SHA1
backend, 2024-12-30) and 9218c0bfe1 (bulk-checkin: fix segfault with
unsafe SHA1 backend, 2024-12-30), we observed the effects of failing to
initialize a hashfile_checkpoint with the same hash function
implementation as is used by the hashfile it is used to checkpoint.

While both 106140a99f and 9218c0bfe1 work around the immediate crash,
changing the hash function implementation within the hashfile API to,
for example, the non-unsafe variant would re-introduce the crash. This
is a result of the tight coupling between initializing hashfiles and
hashfile_checkpoints.

Introduce and use a new function which ensures that both parts of a
hashfile and hashfile_checkpoint pair use the same hash function
implementation to avoid such crashes.

A few things worth noting:

  - In the change to builtin/fast-import.c::stream_blob(), we can see
    that by removing the explicit reference to
    'the_hash_algo->unsafe_init_fn()', we are hardened against the
    hashfile API changing away from the_hash_algo (or its unsafe
    variant) in the future.

  - The bulk-checkin code no longer needs to explicitly zero-initialize
    the hashfile_checkpoint, since it is now done as a result of calling
    'hashfile_checkpoint_init()'.

  - Also in the bulk-checkin code, we add an additional call to
    prepare_to_stream() outside of the main loop in order to initialize
    'state->f' so we know which hash function implementation to use when
    calling 'hashfile_checkpoint_init()'.

    This is OK, since subsequent 'prepare_to_stream()' calls are noops.
    However, we only need to call 'prepare_to_stream()' when we have the
    HASH_WRITE_OBJECT bit set in our flags. Without that bit, calling
    'prepare_to_stream()' does not assign 'state->f', so we have nothing
    to initialize.

  - Other uses of the 'checkpoint' in 'deflate_blob_to_pack()' are
    appropriately guarded.
