It also works on E2K as it supports these intrinsics.
On x86-64 runtime detection is used so the code keeps working on
older processors too. A CLMUL-only build can be done by using
-msse4.1 -mpclmul in CFLAGS and this will reduce the library
size since the generic implementation and its 8 KiB lookup table
will be omitted.
On 32-bit x86 this isn't used by default for now because by default
on 32-bit x86 the separate assembly file crc64_x86.S is used.
If --disable-assembler is used then this new CLMUL code is used
the same way as on 64-bit x86. However, a CLMUL-only build
(-msse4.1 -mpclmul) won't omit the 8 KiB lookup table on
32-bit x86 due to a currently-missing check for disabled
assembler usage.
The configure.ac check should be such that the code won't be
built if something in the toolchain doesn't support it but
--disable-clmul-crc option can be used to unconditionally
disable this feature.
CLMUL speeds up decompression of files that have compressed very
well (assuming CRC64 is used as a check type). It is know that
the CLMUL code is significantly slower than the generic code for
tiny inputs (especially 1-8 bytes but up to 16 bytes). If that
is a real-world problem then there is already a commented-out
variant that uses the generic version for small inputs.
Thanks to Ilya Kurdyukov for the original patch which was
derived from a white paper from Intel [1] (published in 2009)
and public domain code from [2] (released in 2016).

This uses it for CRC table initializations when using --disable-small.
It avoids mythread_once() overhead. It also means that then
--disable-small --disable-threads is thread-safe if this attribute
is supported.
That is, the Filter ID will be changed once the design is final.
The current version will be removed. So files created with the
tempoary Filter ID won't be supported in the future.
The previous commit split liblzma.map into liblzma_linux.map and
liblzma_generic.map. This commit updates the CMake build for those.
common_w32res.rc dependency was listed under Linux/FreeBSD while
obviously it belongs to Windows when building a DLL.
These are a minor thing especially since the xz build has
some real problems still like lack of large file support
on 32-bit systems but I'll commit this since the code exists.
Thanks to Jia Tan.
The naming conflict with FindLibLZMA module gets worse.
Not avoiding it in the first place was stupid.
Normally find_package(LibLZMA) will use the module and
find_package(liblzma 5.2.5 REQUIRED CONFIG) will use the config
file even with a case insensitive file system. However, if
CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_PREFER_CONFIG is TRUE and the file system
is case insensitive, find_package(LibLZMA) will find our liblzma
config file instead of using FindLibLZMA module.
One big problem with this is that FindLibLZMA uses
LibLZMA::LibLZMA and we use liblzma::liblzma as the target
name. With target names CMake happens to be case sensitive.
To workaround this, this commit adds
add_library(LibLZMA::LibLZMA ALIAS liblzma::liblzma)
to the config file. Then both spellings work.
To make the behavior consistent between case sensitive and
insensitive file systems, the config and related files are
renamed from liblzmaConfig.cmake to liblzma-config.cmake style.
With this style CMake looks for lowercase version of the package
name so find_package(LiBLzmA 5.2.5 REQUIRED CONFIG) will work
to find our config file.
There are other differences between our config file and
FindLibLZMA so it's still possible that things break for
reasons other than the spelling of the target name. Hopefully
those situations aren't too common.
When the config file is available, it should always give as good or
better results as FindLibLZMA so this commit doesn't affect the
recommendation to use find_package(liblzma 5.2.5 REQUIRED CONFIG)
which explicitly avoids FindLibLZMA.
Thanks to Markus Rickert.
The syntax "if(DEFINED CACHE{FOO})" requires CMake 3.14.
In some other places the code treats the cache variables
like normal variables already (${FOO} or if(FOO) is used,
not ${CACHE{FOO}).
Thanks to ygrek for reporting the bug on IRC.
Seems that the phrase "add more quotes" from sh/bash scripting
applies to CMake as well. E.g. passing an unquoted list ${FOO}
to a function that expects one argument results in only the
first element of the list being passed as an argument and
the rest get ignored. Adding quotes helps ("${FOO}").
list(INSERT ...) is weird. Inserting an empty string to an empty
variable results in empty list, but inserting it to a non-empty
variable does insert an empty element to the list.
Since INSERT requires at least one element,
"${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT}" needs to be quoted in CMakeLists.txt.
It might result in an empty element in the list. It seems to not
matter as empty elements consistently get ignored in that variable.
In fact, calling cmake_check_push_state() and cmake_check_pop_state()
will strip the empty elements from CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES!
In addition to quoting fixes, this fixes checks for the cache
variables in tuklib_cpucores.cmake and tuklib_physmem.cmake.
Thanks to Martin Matuška for testing and reporting the problems.
These fixes aren't tested yet but hopefully they soon will be.
This does *NOT* replace the Autotools-based build system in
the foreseeable future. See the comment in the beginning
of CMakeLists.txt.
So far this has been tested only on GNU/Linux but I commit
it anyway to make it easier for others to test. Since I
haven't played much with CMake before, it's likely that
there are things that have been done in a silly or wrong
way and need to be fixed.
