Right now this is just a planned extra-compact format for use
in the EROFS file system in Linux. At this point it's possible
that the format will either change or be abandoned and removed
completely.
The special thing about the encoder is that it uses the
output-size-limited encoding added in the previous commit.
EROFS uses fixed-sized blocks (e.g. 4 KiB) to hold compressed
data so the compressors must be able to create valid streams
that fill the given block size.
With this it is possible to encode LZMA1 data without EOPM so that
the encoder will encode as much input as it can without exceeding
the specified output size limit. The resulting LZMA1 stream will
be a normal LZMA1 stream without EOPM. The actual uncompressed size
will be available to the caller via the uncomp_size pointer.
One missing thing is that the LZMA layer doesn't inform the LZ layer
when the encoding is finished and thus the LZ may read more input
when it won't be used. However, this doesn't matter if encoding is
done with a single call (which is the planned use case for now).
For proper multi-call encoding this should be improved.
This commit only adds the functionality for internal use.
Nothing uses it yet.
Previously this required using --force but that has other
effects too which might be undesirable. Changing the behavior
of --keep has a small risk of breaking existing scripts but
since this is a fairly special corner case I expect the
likehood of breakage to be low enough.
I think the new behavior is more logical. The only reason for
the old behavior was to be consistent with gzip and bzip2.
Thanks to Vincent Lefevre and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
Omit the -q option from xz, gzip, and bzip2. With xz this shouldn't
matter. With gzip it's important because -q makes gzip replace SIGPIPE
with exit status 2. With bzip2 it's important because with -q bzip2
is completely silent if input is corrupt while other decompressors
still give an error message.
Avoiding exit status 2 from gzip is important because bzip2 uses
exit status 2 to indicate corrupt input. Before this commit xzgrep
didn't recognize corrupt .bz2 files because xzgrep was treating
exit status 2 as SIGPIPE for gzip compatibility.
zstd still needs -q because otherwise it is noisy in normal
operation.
The code to detect real SIGPIPE didn't check if the exit status
was due to a signal (>= 128) and so could ignore some other exit
status too.
This is a minor fix since this affects only the situation when
the files differ and the exit status is something else than 0.
In such case there could be SIGPIPE from a decompression tool
and that would result in exit status of 2 from xzdiff/xzcmp
while the correct behavior would be to return 1 or whatever
else diff or cmp may have returned.
This commit omits the -q option from xz/gzip/bzip2/lzop arguments.
I'm not sure why the -q was used in the first place, perhaps it
hides warnings in some situation that I cannot see at the moment.
Hopefully the removal won't introduce a new bug.
With gzip the -q option was harmful because it made gzip return 2
instead of >= 128 with SIGPIPE. Ignoring exit status 2 (warning
from gzip) isn't practical because bzip2 uses exit status 2 to
indicate corrupt input file. It's better if SIGPIPE results in
exit status >= 128.
With bzip2 the removal of -q seems to be good because with -q
it prints nothing if input is corrupt. The other tools aren't
silent in this situation even with -q. On the other hand, if
zstd support is added, it will need -q since otherwise it's
noisy in normal situations.

Before this commit all output queue buffers were allocated as
a single big allocation. Now each buffer is allocated separately
when needed. Used buffers are cached to avoid reallocation
overhead but the cache will keep only one buffer size at a time.
This should make things work OK in the decompression where most
of the time the buffer sizes will be the same but with some less
common files the buffer sizes may vary.
While this should work fine, it's still a bit preliminary
and may even get reverted if it turns out to be useless for
decompression.
When Intel CET is enabled, we need to include <cet.h> in assembly codes
to mark Intel CET support and add _CET_ENDBR to indirect jump targets.
Tested on Intel Tiger Lake under CET enabled Linux.
I don't want to use \c in macro arguments but groff_man(7)
suggests that \f has better portability. \f would be needed
for the .TP strings for portability reasons anyway.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason.
A few are simply omitted, most are converted to "for example"
and surrounded with commas. Sounds like that this is better
style, for example, man-pages(7) recommends avoiding such
abbreviations except in parenthesis.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason.
Docs of ancient troff/nroff mention \(em (em-dash) but not \(en
and \- was used for both minus and en-dash. I don't know how
portable \(en is nowadays but it can be changed back if someone
complains. At least GNU groff and OpenBSD's mandoc support it.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason for the patch.

DJGPP 2.05 added support for thousands separators but it's
broken at least under WinXP with Finnish locale that uses
a non-breaking space as the thousands separator. Workaround
by disabling thousands separators for DJGPP builds.
The comment didn't match the value of RC_SYMBOLS_MAX and the value
itself was slightly larger than actually needed. The only harm
about this was that memory usage was a few bytes larger.
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.
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.
