This file only generates fastpos_table.c.
It isn't built as a part of liblzma.
|
|
This should silence the equivalent of -Wundef in compilers that
don't define __GNUC__.
|
|
This gives a tiny encoder speed improvement. This could have been done
in 2014 after the commit 544aaa3d13554e8640f9caf7db717a96360ec0f6 but
it was forgotten.
|
|
It can be true at least on z/OS.

strerror() needs <string.h> which happened to be included via
tuklib_common.h -> tuklib_config.h -> sysdefs.h if HAVE_CONFIG_H
was defined. This wasn't tested without config.h before so it
had worked fine.
|
|
The previous commit broke crc32_tablegen.c.
If the whole package is built without config.h (with defines
set on the compiler command line) this should still work fine
as long as these headers conform to C99 well enough.
|
|
In XZ Utils sysdefs.h takes care of it and the required headers.
|
|
string.h is used unconditionally elsewhere in the project and
configure has always stopped if limits.h is missing, so these
headers must have been always available even on the weirdest
systems.
|
|
The dependency on po4a is optional. It's never required to install
the translated man pages when xz is built from a release tarball.
If po4a is missing when building from xz.git, the translated man
pages won't be generated but otherwise the build will work normally.
The translations are only updated automatically by autogen.sh and
by "make mydist". This makes it easy to keep po4a as an optional
dependency and ensures that I won't forget to put updated
translations to a release tarball.
The translated man pages aren't installed if --disable-nls is used.
The installation of translated man pages abuses Automake internals
by calling "install-man" with redefined dist_man_MANS and man_MANS.
This makes the hairy script code slightly less hairy. If it breaks
some day, this code needs to be fixed; don't blame Automake developers.
Also, this adds more quotes to the existing shell script code in
the Makefile.am "-hook"s.
|
|
Perhaps it's too drastic but on the other hand it will let me
learn about possible problems if people report the errors.
This won't be backported to the v5.2 branch.

See the code comment for reasoning. It's far from perfect but
hopefully good enough for certain cases while hopefully doing
nothing bad in other situations.
At presets -5 ... -9, 4020 MiB vs. 4096 MiB makes no difference
on how xz scales down the number of threads.
The limit has to be a few MiB below 4096 MiB because otherwise
things like "xz --lzma2=dict=500MiB" won't scale down the dict
size enough and xz cannot allocate enough memory. With
"ulimit -v $((4096 * 1024))" on x86-64, the limit in xz had
to be no more than 4085 MiB. Some safety margin is good though.
This is hack but it should be useful when running 32-bit xz on
a 64-bit kernel that gives full 4 GiB address space to xz.
Hopefully this is enough to solve this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196786
FreeBSD has a patch that limits the result in tuklib_physmem()
to SIZE_MAX on 32-bit systems. While I think it's not the way
to do it, the results on --memlimit-compress have been good. This
commit should achieve practically identical results for compression
while leaving decompression and tuklib_physmem() and thus
lzma_physmem() unaffected.

xz --flush-timeout=2000, old version:
1. xz is started. The next flush will happen after two seconds.
2. No input for one second.
3. A burst of a few kilobytes of input.
4. No input for one second.
5. Two seconds have passed and flushing starts.
The first second counted towards the flush-timeout even though
there was no pending data. This can cause flushing to occur more
often than needed.
xz --flush-timeout=2000, after this commit:
1. xz is started.
2. No input for one second.
3. A burst of a few kilobytes of input. The next flush will
happen after two seconds counted from the time when the
first bytes of the burst were read.
4. No input for one second.
5. No input for another second.
6. Two seconds have passed and flushing starts.

The same code sequence repeats so it's nicer as a separate function.
Note that in one case there was no test for opt_mode != MODE_TEST,
but that was only because that condition would always be true, so
this commit doesn't change the behavior there.
|
|
When input blocked, xz --flush-timeout=1 would wake up every
millisecond and initiate flushing which would have nothing to
flush and thus would just waste CPU time. The fix disables the
timeout when no input has been seen since the previous flush.

Using the aligned methods requires more care to ensure that
the address really is aligned, so it's nicer if the aligned
methods are prefixed. The next commit will remove the unaligned_
prefix from the unaligned methods which in liblzma are used in
more places than the aligned ones.
|

Add a configure option --enable-unsafe-type-punning to get the
old non-conforming memory access methods. It can be useful with
old compilers or in some other less typical situations but
shouldn't normally be used.
Omit the packed struct trick for unaligned access. While it's
best in some cases, this is simpler. If the memcpy trick doesn't
work, one can request unsafe type punning from configure.
Because CRC32/CRC64 code needs fast aligned reads, if no very
safe way to do it is found, type punning is used as a fallback.
This sucks but since it currently works in practice, it seems to
be the least bad option. It's never needed with GCC >= 4.7 or
Clang >= 3.6 since these support __builtin_assume_aligned and
thus fast aligned access can be done with the memcpy trick.
Other things:
- Support GCC/Clang __builtin_bswapXX
- Cleaner bswap fallback macros
- Minor cleanups
|
|
This adds a configure option --enable-path-for-scripts=PREFIX
which defaults to empty except on Solaris it is /usr/xpg4/bin
to make POSIX grep and others available. The Solaris case had
been documented in INSTALL with a manual fix but it's better
to do this automatically since it is needed on most Solaris
systems anyway.
Thanks to Daniel Richard G.

It didn't matter in XZ Utils because sysdefs.h
includes string.h anyway.
|
|
|
|
This makes it easier to translate the strings.
Also, the string for amount of RAM was shortened.

LZMA_TIMED_OUT is *internally* used as a value for lzma_ret
enumeration. Previously it was #defined to 32 and cast to lzma_ret.
That way it wasn't visible in the public API, but this was hackish.
Now the public API has eight LZMA_RET_INTERNALx members and
LZMA_TIMED_OUT is #defined to LZMA_RET_INTERNAL1. This way
the code is cleaner overall although the public API has a few
extra mysterious enum members.

Caught by clang -Wmissing-variable-declarations.

Caught by clang -Wused-but-marked-unused.
|
|
Or any off_t which isn't very big (like signed 64 bit integer
that most system have). A small off_t could overflow if the
file being decompressed had long enough run of zero bytes,
which would result in corrupt output.
|
|
lseek() returns -1 on error and checking for -1 is nicer.
|
|
This helps fixing warnings from -Wsign-conversion and makes the
code look better too.
|
|

Also, more parentheses were added to the literal_subcoder
macro in lzma_comon.h (better style but no functional change
in the current usage).
|
|
|
|
Use a temporary variable instead of e.g.
conv32le(unaligned_read32ne(buf)) because the macro can
evaluate its argument multiple times.
|
|
Thanks to Bruce Stark.

The same compiler-specific #ifdefs are already in tuklib_integer.h
|
|
|

Now gcc -fsanitize=undefined should be clean.
Thanks to Jeffrey Walton.
|
|
Now memcpy() or GNU C packed structs for unaligned access instead
of type punning. See the comment in this commit for details.
Avoiding type punning with unaligned access is needed to
silence gcc -fsanitize=undefined.
New functions: unaliged_readXXne and unaligned_writeXXne where
XX is 16, 32, or 64.

I should have always known this but I didn't. Here is an example
as a reminder to myself:
int mycopy(void *dest, void *src, size_t n)
{
memcpy(dest, src, n);
return dest == NULL;
}
In the example, a compiler may assume that dest != NULL because
passing NULL to memcpy() would be undefined behavior. Testing
with GCC 8.2.1, mycopy(NULL, NULL, 0) returns 1 with -O0 and -O1.
With -O2 the return value is 0 because the compiler infers that
dest cannot be NULL because it was already used with memcpy()
and thus the test for NULL gets optimized out.
In liblzma, if a null-pointer was passed to memcpy(), there were
no checks for NULL *after* the memcpy() call, so I cautiously
suspect that it shouldn't have caused bad behavior in practice,
but it's hard to be sure, and the problematic cases had to be
fixed anyway.
Thanks to Jeffrey Walton.

Now the widths of the check names is used to adjust the width
of the Check column. This way there no longer is a need to restrict
the widths of the check names to be at most ten terminal-columns.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This should avoid alignment errors in translations with these
strings.

"xz -dcfv not_an_xz_file" crashed (all four options are
required to trigger it). It caused xz to call
lzma_get_progress(&strm, ...) when no coder was initialized
in strm. In this situation strm.internal is NULL which leads
to a crash in lzma_get_progress().
The bug was introduced when xz started using lzma_get_progress()
to get progress info for multi-threaded compression, so the
bug is present in versions 5.1.3alpha and higher.
Thanks to Filip Palian <Filip.Palian@pjwstk.edu.pl> for
the bug report.

FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION is #defined when liblzma
is being built for fuzz testing.
Most fuzzed inputs would normally get rejected because of incorrect
CRC32 and the actual header decoding code wouldn't get fuzzed.
Disabling CRC32 checks avoids this problem. The fuzzer program
must still use LZMA_IGNORE_CHECK flag to disable verification of
integrity checks of uncompressed data.
|
|
In this particular case I don't see this affecting readability
of the code.
Thanks to Pavel Raiskup.

This should help static analysis tools to see that newg

In C++11, the `throw()` specifier is deprecated and `noexcept` is
preffered instead.
|

In most cases it was harmless but it could affect some
custom build systems.

Thanks to Melanie Blower (Intel) for the patch.

It ended up printing an uninitialized char-array when trying to
print the check names (column 7) on the "totals" line.
This also changes the column 12 (minimum xz version) to
50000002 (xz 5.0.0) instead of 0 when there are no valid
input files.
Thanks to kidmin for the bug report.

xz --list is random access so POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL was clearly
wrong.
|
|
This is to allow other functions to use it without going
via the public API (lzma_index_decoder()).
|
|
Also mention LZMA_SEEK in xz/message.c to silence a warning.
|
|
The 0 got treated specially in a buggy way and as a result
the function did nothing. The API doc said that 0 was supposed
to return LZMA_PROG_ERROR but it didn't.
Now 0 is treated as if 1 had been specified. This is done because
0 is already used to indicate an error from lzma_memlimit_get()
and lzma_memusage().
In addition, lzma_memlimit_set() no longer checks that the new
limit is at least LZMA_MEMUSAGE_BASE. It's counter-productive
for the Index decoder and was actually needed only by the
auto decoder. Auto decoder has now been modified to check for
LZMA_MEMUSAGE_BASE.
|
|
|
|
It returned LZMA_PROG_ERROR, which was done to avoid zero as
the limit (because it's a special value elsewhere), but using
LZMA_PROG_ERROR is simply inconvenient and can cause bugs.
The fix/workaround is to treat 0 as if it were 1 byte. It's
effectively the same thing. The only weird consequence is
that then lzma_memlimit_get() will return 1 even when 0 was
specified as the limit.
This fixes a very rare corner case in xz --list where a specific
memory usage limit and a multi-stream file could print the
error message "Internal error (bug)" instead of saying that
the memory usage limit is too low.
|
|
Only one definition was visible in a translation unit.
It avoided a few casts and temp variables but seems that
this hack doesn't work with link-time optimizations in compilers
as it's not C99/C11 compliant.

It's available in glibc (GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD). It's better
than sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) because sched_getaffinity()
gives the number of cores available to the process instead of
the total number of cores online.
As a side effect, this commit fixes a bug on GNU/kFreeBSD where
configure would detect the FreeBSD-specific cpuset_getaffinity()
but it wouldn't actually work because on GNU/kFreeBSD it requires
using -lfreebsd-glue when linking. Now the glibc-specific function
will be used instead.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for the original patch
and testing.

xz used to call utime() on Windows, but its result gets lost
on close(). Using _futime() seems to work.

This is the sane thing to do. The conflict with OpenSSL
on some OSes and especially that the OS-provided versions
can be significantly slower makes it clear that it was
a mistake to have the external SHA-256 support enabled by
default.
Those who want it can now pass --enable-external-sha256 to
configure. INSTALL was updated with notes about OSes where
this can be a bad idea.
The SHA-256 detection code in configure.ac had some bugs that
could lead to a build failure in some situations. These were
fixed, although it doesn't matter that much now that the
external SHA-256 is disabled by default.
MINIX >= 3.2.0 uses NetBSD's libc and thus has SHA256_Init
in libc instead of libutil. Support for the libutil version
was removed.
|

When optimizing, GCC can reorder code so that an uninitialized
value gets used in a comparison, which makes Valgrind unhappy.
It doesn't happen when compiled with -O0, which I tend to use
when running Valgrind.
Thanks to Rich Prohaska. I remember this being mentioned long
ago by someone else but nothing was done back then.
|
|
It would be too annoying to update other build systems
just because of this.
|
|
The patch is quite long but it's mostly about adding new #ifdefs
to omit code when encoders or decoders have been disabled.
This adds two new #defines to config.h: HAVE_ENCODERS and
HAVE_DECODERS.
|
|
People shouldn't rely on the presets when decoding raw streams,
but xz uses the presets as the starting point for raw decoder
options anyway.
lzma_encocder_presets.c was renamed to lzma_presets.c to
make it clear it's not used solely by the encoder code.
|
|
Previously it was omitted if encoders were disabled
with --disable-encoders. It didn't make sense and
it also broke the build.
|
|
If an appropriate header and structure were found by configure,
but a library with a usable SHA-256 functions wasn't, the build
failed.
|
|
unlink() can return EBUSY in errno for open files on some
operating systems and file systems.
|
|
Stream Flags and Stream Padding weren't copied from
empty Streams.
|
|
|
|
lzma_index_dup() calls index_dup_stream() which, in case of
an error, calls index_stream_end() to free memory allocated
by index_stream_init(). However, it illogically didn't
actually free the memory. To make it logical, the tree
handling code was modified a bit in addition to changing
index_stream_end().
Thanks to Evan Nemerson for the bug report.

This reverts commit 7a11c4a8e5e15f13d5fa59233b3172e65428efdd.
It is a problem when libc has pipe2() but the kernel is too
old to have pipe2() and thus pipe2() fails. In xz it's pointless
to have a fallback for non-functioning pipe2(); it's better to
avoid pipe2() completely.
Thanks to Michael Fox for the bug report.

The sandboxing is used conditionally as described in main.c.
This isn't optimal but it was much easier to implement than
a full sandboxing solution and it still covers the most common
use cases where xz is writing to standard output. This should
have practically no effect on performance even with small files
as fork() isn't needed.
C and locale libraries can open files as needed. This has been
fine in the past, but it's a problem with things like Capsicum.
io_sandbox_enter() tries to ensure that various locale-related
files have been loaded before cap_enter() is called, but it's
possible that there are other similar problems which haven't
been seen yet.
Currently Capsicum is available on FreeBSD 10 and later
and there is a port to Linux too.
Thanks to Loganaden Velvindron for help.

The idea of 99 is that it looks a bit weird in this context.
For new features there's no API/ABI stability in devel versions.
|

The earlier version compiled but didn't actually work
since sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES) always fails (or so I was told).

The bug was added in the commit
f48fce093b07aeda95c18850f5e086d9f2383380 and thus
affected 5.1.4beta and 5.2.0. Luckily the bug cannot
cause data corruption or other nasty things.
|
|
Now it reads the old flags instead of blindly setting O_NONBLOCK.
The old code may have worked correctly, but this is better.
|

In FreeBSD, cpuset_getaffinity() is the preferred way to get
the number of available cores.
Thanks to Rui Paulo for the patch. I edited it slightly, but
hopefully I didn't break anything.

Thanks to Torsten Rupp for reporting this. I had

This is similar to the case with stdin.
Thanks to Brad Smith for the bug report and testing
on OpenBSD.

It's a problem at least on OpenBSD which doesn't support
O_NONBLOCK on e.g. /dev/null. I'm not surprised if it's
a problem on other OSes too since this behavior is allowed
in POSIX-1.2008.
The code relying on this behavior was committed in June 2013
and included in 5.1.3alpha released on 2013-10-26. Clearly
the development releases only get limited testing.

I know that soname != app version, but I skip AGE=1
in -version-info to make the soname match the liblzma

it doesn't conflict with library versioning rules.

This way an invalid filter chain is detected at the Stream
encoder initialization instead of delaying it to the first
call to lzma_code() which triggers the initialization of
the actual filter encoder(s).
|
|
|
|
This avoids the possibility of "File name too long" when
creating a temp file when the input file name is very long.
This also means that other users on the system can no longer
see the input file names in /tmp (or whatever $TMPDIR is)
since the temporary directory will have a generic name. This
usually doesn't matter since on many systems one can see
the arguments given to all processes anyway.
The number X chars to mktemp where increased from 6 to 10.
Note that with some shells temp files or dirs won't be used at all.
|
|
It read the filter chain from a wrong variable. This is a similar
bug that was fixed in 9494fb6d0ff41c585326f00aa8f7fe58f8106a5e.

The behavior of grep -ql varies:
- GNU grep behaves like grep -q.
- OpenBSD grep behaves like grep -l.
POSIX doesn't make it 100 % clear what behavior is expected.
Anyway, using both -q and -l at the same time makes no sense
so both options simply should never be used at the same time.
Thanks to Christian Weisgerber.
|

POSIX supports $< only in inference rules (suffix rules).
Using it elsewhere is a GNU make extension and doesn't
work e.g. with OpenBSD make.

Note that this slightly changes how lzma_block_header_decode()
has been documented. Earlier it said that the .version is set
to the lowest required value, but now it says that the .version
field is kept unchanged if possible. In practice this doesn't
affect any old code, because before this commit the only
possible .version was 0.

I had missed this when writing the commit

The Maj macro is used where multiple things are added
together, so making Maj a sum of two expressions allows
some extra freedom for the compiler to schedule the
instructions.
I learned this trick from
<http://www.hackersdelight.org/corres.txt>.
|
|
This looks weird because the rotations become sequential,
but it helps quite a bit on both 32-bit and 64-bit x86:
- It requires fewer instructions on two-operand
instruction sets like x86.
- It requires one register less which matters especially
on 32-bit x86.
I hope this doesn't hurt other archs.
I didn't invent this idea myself, but I don't remember where
I saw it first.
|
|
The unrolling in the previous commit should avoid the
situation where a compiler may think that an uninitialized
variable might be accessed.
|
|
This way a branch isn't needed for each operation
to choose between blk0 and blk2, and still the code
doesn't grow as much as it would with full unrolling.
|
|
|

Two locations were not changed yet because the simplest change
assumes that the initial "len" may be greater than "limit".

This doesn't change the match finder output.
|

This commit just adds the function. Its uses will be in
separate commits.
This hasn't been tested much yet and it's perhaps a bit early
to commit it but if there are bugs they should get found quite
quickly.
Thanks to Jun I Jin from Intel for help and for pointing out
that string comparison needs to be optimized in liblzma.

Mimic the original grep behavior and return exit_success when

This avoids a memzero() call for a newly-allocated memory,
which can be expensive when encoding small streams with
an over-sized dictionary.
To avoid using lzma_alloc_zero() for memory that doesn't
need to be zeroed, lzma_mf.son is now allocated separately,
which requires handling it separately in normalize() too.
Thanks to Vincenzo Innocente for reporting the problem.

It can be confusing that two header files have the same name.
The public API file is still lzma.h.
|
|
In this case "make install" could fail if the man page directory
didn't already exist at the destination. If it did exist, a
dangling symlink was created there. Now the link is omitted
instead. This isn't the best fix but it's better than the old
behavior.
|
|
I don't know the details but I have an impression that there's
no problem in practice if using GCC since people have built xz
with GCC (without patching xz), but renaming the variable cannot
hurt either.
Thanks to Mark Ashley.

It read the filter chain from a wrong variable.

MSVC 2013 doesn't like them. Maybe they aren't so good
for readability either since many aren't used to them.
|
|
Unsurprisingly it makes no difference in compiled output.
|

Since the only call to suffix_set() uses optarg
as the argument, fixing this bug doesn't change
the behavior of the program.

Previously, --block-list and --block-size only worked together
in threaded mode. Boundaries are specified by --block-list, but
--block-size specifies the maximum size for a Block. Now this
works in single-threaded mode too.
Thanks to James M Leddy for the original patch.
|
|
|
|
This needs to be updated before 5.2.0.
|
|
|
|
Now if --block-list is used in threaded mode, the encoder
won't need to flush at each Block boundary specified via
--block-list. This improves performance a lot, making
threading helpful with --block-list.
The flush timer was reset after LZMA_FULL_FLUSH but since
LZMA_FULL_BARRIER doesn't flush, resetting the timer is
no longer done.
|
|
Now --block-list=SIZES works with in the threaded mode too,
although the performance is still bad due to the use of
LZMA_FULL_FLUSH instead of the new LZMA_FULL_BARRIER.

In the single-threaded encoder LZMA_FULL_BARRIER is simply
an alias for LZMA_FULL_FLUSH.

This should have been in b465da5988dd59ad98fda10c2e4ea13d0b9c73bc.

Now liblzma only uses "mythread" functions and types
which are defined in mythread.h matching the desired
threading method.
Before Windows Vista, there is no direct equivalent to
pthread condition variables. Since this package doesn't
use pthread_cond_broadcast(), pre-Vista threading can
still be kept quite simple. The pre-Vista code doesn't
use anything that wasn't already available in Windows 95,
so the binaries should run even on Windows 95 if someone
happens to care.

Previously it was done in configure, but doing that goes
against the Autoconf manual. Autoconf requires that it is
possible to override e.g. prefix after running configure
and that doesn't work correctly if liblzma.pc is created
by configure.
A potential downside of this change is that now e.g.
libdir in liblzma.pc is a standalone string instead of
being defined via ${prefix}, so if one overrides prefix
when running pkg-config the libdir won't get the new value.
I don't know if this matters in practice.
Thanks to Vincent Torri.

Apparently I didn't even compile-test the previous commit.
Thanks to Christian Hesse.

It is used for Cygwin too. I'm not sure if that is
a good or bad idea.
Thanks to Vincent Torri.

When --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT is used, xz will use
LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH if read() would block and at least
TIMEOUT milliseconds has elapsed since the previous flush.
This can be useful in realtime-like use cases where the
data is simultanously decompressed by another process
(possibly on a different computer). If new uncompressed
input data is produced slowly, without this option xz could
buffer the data for a long time until it would become
decompressible from the output.
If TIMEOUT is 0, the feature is disabled. This is the default.
This commit affects the compression side. Using xz for
the decompression side for the above purpose doesn't work
yet so well because there is quite a bit of input and
output buffering when decompressing.
The --long-help or man page were not updated yet.
The details of this feature may change.

Testing for end of file was no longer correct after full flushing
became possible with --block-size=SIZE and --block-list=SIZES.
There was no bug in practice though because xz just made a few
unneeded zero-byte reads.

This switches units from microseconds to milliseconds.
New clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) will be used if available.
There is still a fallback to gettimeofday().

The man pages of lzmainfo, xzmore, and xzdec had similar
constructs as the man page of xz had before the commit
eb6ca9854b8eb9fbf72497c1cf608d6b19d2d494. Eric S. Raymond
didn't mention these man pages in his bug report, but
it's nice to be consistent.

Now both reading and writing should be without
race conditions with signals.
They might still be signal handling issues left.
Signals are blocked during many operations to avoid
EINTR but it may cause problems e.g. if writing to
stderr blocks when trying to display an error message.
|
|
It didn't affect the behavior of the code since -1
becomes true anyway.
|
|
It is possible that a signal to set user_abort arrives right
before a blocking system call is made. In this case the call
may block until another signal arrives, while the wanted
behavior is to make xz clean up and exit as soon as possible.
After this commit, the race condition is avoided with the
input side which already uses non-blocking I/O. The output
side still uses blocking I/O and thus has the race condition.
