[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/3] lz4: misc fixes / adjustments
Posted by Jan Beulich 4 years, 4 months ago
1: refine commit 9143a6c55ef7 for the 64-bit case
2: pull out constant tables
3: fix system halt at boot kernel on x86_64

Only patch 1 is strictly meant to be considered for 4.13, albeit
patch 3 fixes a similar problem (but none which would have been
reported so far). Patches 2 and 3 are ports of (a couple of
years old) Linux commits.

I'd chuck them all in for 4.13.  The moment we decide to leave patch 3
out, someone is going to stumble over the issue.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/3] lz4: refine commit 9143a6c55ef7 for the 64-bit case
Posted by Jan Beulich 4 years, 4 months ago
I clearly went too far there: While the LZ4_WILDCOPY() instances indeed
need prior guarding, LZ4_SECURECOPY() needs this only in the 32-bit case
(where it simply aliases LZ4_WILDCOPY()). "cpy" can validly point
(slightly) below "op" in these cases, due to

		cpy = op + length - (STEPSIZE - 4);

where length can be as low as 0 and STEPSIZE is 8. However, instead of
removing the check via "#if !LZ4_ARCH64", refine it such that it would
also properly work in the 64-bit case, aborting decompression instead
of continuing on bogus input.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/3] lz4: pull out constant tables
Posted by Jan Beulich 4 years, 4 months ago
From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>

There's no reason to allocate the dec{32,64}table on the stack; it
just wastes a bunch of instructions setting them up and, of course,
also consumes quite a bit of stack. Using size_t for such small
integers is a little excessive.

$ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/built-in.o lib/built-in.o
add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 1304/-1548 (-244)

lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize             801       -    -801

The now inlined lz4_uncompress functions used to have a stack
footprint of 176 bytes (according to -fstack-usage); their inlinees
have increased their stack use from 32 bytes to 48 and 80 bytes,
respectively.

Use {,u}int8_t instead of plain "int" for the tables.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/3] lz4: fix system halt at boot kernel on x86_64
Posted by Jan Beulich 4 years, 4 months ago
From: Krzysztof Kolasa <kkolasa@winsoft.pl>

Sometimes, on x86_64, decompression fails with the following
error:

Decompressing Linux...

Decoding failed

 -- System halted

This condition is not needed for a 64bit kernel(from commit d5e7caf):

if( ... ||
    (op + COPYLENGTH) > oend)
    goto _output_error

macro LZ4_SECURE_COPY() tests op and does not copy any data
when op exceeds the value.

added by analogy to lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize(...)

abort issue").
