On macOS, we get:
```
signals.c: In function 'signals_init':
signals.c:76:17: error: conversion to 'sigset_t' {aka 'unsigned int'} from 'int' may change the sign of the result [-Werror=sign-conversion]
76 | sigaddset(&hooked_signals, sigs[i]);
| ^~~~~~~~~
signals.c:81:17: error: conversion to 'sigset_t' {aka 'unsigned int'} from 'int' may change the sign of the result [-Werror=sign-conversion]
81 | sigaddset(&hooked_signals, message_progress_sigs[i]);
| ^~~~~~~~~
signals.c:86:9: error: conversion to 'sigset_t' {aka 'unsigned int'} from 'int' may change the sign of the result [-Werror=sign-conversion]
86 | sigaddset(&hooked_signals, SIGTSTP);
| ^~~~~~~~~
```
We use `int` for `hooked_signals` but we can't just cast to whatever
`sigset_t` is because `sigset_t` is an opaque type. It's an unsigned int
on macOS. On macOS, `sigaddset` is implemented as a macro.
Just suppress -Wsign-conversion for `signals_init` for macOS given
there's no real nice way of fixing this.
A few lines were reordered, a few ARRAY_SIZE were changed to sizeof,
and a few uint32_t were changed to size_t. No real functional changes
were intended.
We need this for when we're passing sanitizer flags or -gdwarf-4 for Clang
with Valgrind. Just always start with -O2 if CFLAGS isn't set in the
environment and append what was passed on the command line.
Using `--trace-children=yes` has a trade-off here, as it makes
`test_scripts.sh` pretty slow when calling various non-xz utilities.
But I also feel like it's not useless to have Valgrind used there and it's
not easy to exclude Valgrind just for that one test...
I did consider using AX_VALGRIND_CHECK [0][1] but I couldn't get it working
immediately with some conditionally-built tests and I wondered if it was
worth spending time on at least while we're debating xz's future build
system situation.

This is *NOT* done for security reasons even though the backdoor
relied on the ifunc code. Instead, the reason is that in this
project ifunc provides little benefits but it's quite a bit of
extra code to support it. The only case where ifunc *might* matter
for performance is if the CRC functions are used directly by an
application. In normal compression use it's completely irrelevant.
While the backdoor was inactive (and thus harmless) without inserting
a small trigger code into the build system when the source package was
created, it's good to remove this anyway:
- The executable payloads were embedded as binary blobs in
the test files. This was a blatant violation of the
Debian Free Software Guidelines.
- On machines that see lots bots poking at the SSH port, the backdoor
noticeably increased CPU load, resulting in degraded user experience
and thus overwhelmingly negative user feedback.
- The maintainer who added the backdoor has disappeared.
- Backdoors are bad for security.
This reverts the following without making any other changes:
6e636819 Tests: Update two test files.
a3a29bbd Tests: Test --single-stream can decompress bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz.
0b4ccc91 Tests: Update RISC-V test files.
8c9b8b20 liblzma: Fix typos in crc32_fast.c and crc64_fast.c.
82ecc538 liblzma: Fix false Valgrind error report with GCC.
cf44e4b7 Tests: Add a few test files.
3060e107 Tests: Use smaller dictionary size in RISC-V test files.
e2870db5 Tests: Add two RISC-V Filter test files.
The RISC-V test files also have real content that tests the filter
but the real content would fit into much smaller files. A generator
program would need to be available as well.
Thanks to Andres Freund for finding and reporting it and making
it public quickly so others could act without a delay.

This does the previous commit with CMake.
AC_EGREP_CPP uses AC_REQUIRE so the outermost if-commands must
be changed to AS_IF to ensure that things wont break some day.
See 5a5bd7f871.
It doesn't support the __symver__ attribute or __asm__(".symver ...").
The generic symbol versioning can still be used since it only needs
linker support.
NVHPC compiler has several issues that make it impossible to
build liblzma:
- the compiler cannot handle unions that contain pointers that
are not the first members;
- the compiler cannot handle the assembler code in range_decoder.h
(LZMA_RANGE_DECODER_CONFIG has to be set to zero);
- the compiler fails to produce valid code for delta_decode if the
vectorization is enabled, which results in failed tests.
This introduces NVHPC-specific workarounds that address the issues.
There are cases when the users want to decide themselves whether
they want to have the generic (even on GNU/Linux) or the linux
(even if we do not recommend that) symbol versioning variant.
The former might be needed to circumvent compiler issues (i.e.
the compiler does not support all features that are required
for the linux versioning), the latter might help in overriding
the assumptions made in the configure script.
The original files were generated with random local to my machine.
To better reproduce these files in the future, a constant seed was used
to recreate these files.
