IMPORTANT: This includes a security fix to command line tool
argument handling.
Some toolchains embed an application manifest by default to declare
UAC-compliance. Some also declare compatibility with Vista/8/8.1/10/11
to let the app access features newer than those of Vista.
We want all the above but also two more things:
- Declare that the app is long path aware to support paths longer
than 259 characters (this may also require a registry change).
- Force the code page to UTF-8. This allows the command line tools
to access files whose names contain characters that don't exist
in the current legacy code page (except unpaired surrogates).
The UTF-8 code page also fixes security issues in command line
argument handling which can be exploited with malicious filenames.
See the new file w32_application.manifest.comments.txt.
Thanks to Orange Tsai and splitline from DEVCORE Research Team
for discovering this issue.
Thanks to Vijay Sarvepalli for reporting the issue to me.
Thanks to Kelvin Lee for testing with MSVC and helping with
the required build system fixes.
Now the information in the "Details" tab in the file properties
dialog matches the naming convention of Cygwin and MSYS2. This
is only a cosmetic change.
Autotools-based build has always done this so this is for consistency.
However, the CMake build won't create the DEF file when building
for Cygwin or MSYS2 because in that context it should be useless.
(If Cygwin or MSYS2 is used to host building of normal Windows
binaries then the DEF file is still created.)
The MB output can overflow with huge numbers. Most likely these are
invalid .lzma files anyway, but let's avoid garbage output.
lzmadec was adapted from LZMA Utils. The original code with this bug
was written in 2005, over 19 years ago.

Differences to the zh_CN.po file from the Translation Project:
- Two uses of \v were fixed.
- Missing "OPTS" translation in --riscv[=OPTS] was copied from
previous lines.
- "make update-po" was run to remove line numbers from comments.
Differences to the ca.po file from the Translation Project:
- An overlong line translating --filters-help was wrapped.
- "make update-po" was used to remove line numbers from the comments
to match the changes in fccebe2b4f
and 093490b582. xz.pot in the TP
is older than these commits.
Support for instruction "movzw" without suffix in "GNU as" was
added in commit [1] and stabilized in binutils 2.27, released
in August 2016. Earlier systems don't accept this instruction
without a suffix, making range_decoder.h's inline assembly
unable to build on old systems such as Ubuntu 16.04, creating
error messages like:
lzma_decoder.c: Assembler messages:
lzma_decoder.c:371: Error: no such instruction: `movzw 2(%r11),%esi'
lzma_decoder.c:373: Error: no such instruction: `movzw 4(%r11),%edi'
lzma_decoder.c:388: Error: no such instruction: `movzw 6(%r11),%edx'
lzma_decoder.c:398: Error: no such instruction: `movzw (%r11,%r14,4),%esi'
Change "movzw" to "movzwl" for compatibility.

This reverts commit dc03f6290f.
OpenBSD 7.6 will support elf_aux_info(3), and the detection code used
on FreeBSD will work on OpenBSD 7.6 too. Keep things simpler and drop
the OpenBSD-specific sysctl() method.
Thanks to Christian Weisgerber.
It won't be implemented. find + xargs is more flexible, for example,
it allows compressing small files in parallel. An example for that
has been included in the xz man page since 2010.
The liblzma target was recently changed to link against Threads::Threads
with the PRIVATE keyword. I had forgotten that xz itself depends on
pthreads too due to pthread_sigmask(). Thus, the build broke when
building shared liblzma and pthread_sigmask() wasn't in libc.
Thanks to Peter Seiderer for the bug report.

While po/*.gmo files won't be used from the release tarball,
the generated translated man pages will be used still. Those
are text files and po4a has slightly more dependencies than
gettext tools so installing po4a might be a bit more challenging
in some situations.
When a release tarball is created using Autotools, the tarball includes
po/*.gmo files which are binary files generated from po/*.po. Other
tarball creation methods don't and won't create the .gmo files.
It feels clearer if CMake will never install pre-generated binary files
from the source package. If people are able to install CMake, they
likely are able to install gettext tools as well (assuming they want
translations).
If a user set XZ_NLS=ON but find_package(Intl) failed or CMake version
wasn't at least 3.20, the configuration would fail in a cryptic way.
If XZ_NLS is enabled, require that CMake is new enough and that either
gettext tools or pre-generated .gmo files are available. Otherwise fail
the configuration. Previously missing gettext tools and .gmo files would
only result in a warning.
Missing man page translations are still only a warning.
Thanks to Peter Seiderer for the bug report.

The CMake variables were renamed and accidentally also
the compile definition was renamed. As a result, translation
support wasn't actually enabled in the executables.

The crc.w.{b/h/w/d}.w instructions in LoongArch can calculate the CRC32
result for 1/2/4/8 bytes in a single operation. Using these is much
faster compared to the generic method.
Optimized CRC32 is enabled unconditionally on 64-bit LoongArch because
the LoongArch specification says that CRC32 instructions shall be
implemented for 64-bit processors. Optimized CRC32 isn't enabled for
32-bit LoongArch processors because not enough information is available
about them.

This addresses the issue I mentioned in
6c095a98fb and speeds up the Valgrind
job a bit, because non-xz tools aren't run unnecessarily with
Valgrind by the script tests.
It shouldn't make any difference because LIBS should be empty
at that point in configure. But prepending is the correct way
because in general the libraries being added might require other
libraries that come later on the command line.
It's more robust in case the compiler allows pre-C99 implicit function
declarations. If an x86 intrinsic is missing and gets treated as
implicit function, the linking step will very probably fail. This
isn't the only way to workaround implicit function declarations but
it might be the simplest and cleanest.
The problem hasn't been observed in the wild.
There are a couple more AC_COMPILE_IFELSE uses in configure.ac.
Of these, Landlock check calls prctl() and in theory could have
the same problem. In practice it doesn't as the check program
looks for several other things too. However, it was changed to
AC_LINK_IFELSE still to look more correct.
Similarly, m4/tuklib_cpucores.m4 and m4/tuklib_physmem.m4 were
updated although they haven't given any trouble either. They
have worked all these years because those check programs rely
on specific headers and types: if headers or types are missing,
compilation will fail. Using the linker makes these checks more
similar to the ones in cmake/tuklib_*.cmake which always link.
AC_COMPILE_IFELSE needed -Werror because Clang <= 14 would merely
warn about the unsupported attribute and implicit function declaration.
Changing to AC_LINK_IFELSE handles the implicit declaration because
the symbol __crc32d is unlikely to exist in libc.
Note that the other part of the check is that #include <arm_acle.h>
must work. If the header is missing, most compilers give an error
and the linking step won't be attempted.
Avoiding -Werror makes the check more robust in case CFLAGS contains
warning flags that break -Werror anyway (but this isn't the only check
in configure.ac that has this problem). Using AC_LINK_IFELSE also makes
the check more similar to how it is done in CMakeLists.txt.
While the CMake support has gotten a lot less testing than
the Autotools-based build, the supported features should now
be equal. The output may differ slightly, for example,
liblzma.pc may have
Libs.private: -pthread -lpthread
with Autotools on GNU/Linux. CMake doesn't put any options
in Libs.private because on modern glibc the pthread functions
are in libc. The options options aren't required to link static
liblzma into an application.
Autotools-based build doesn't generate or install
lib/cmake/liblzma-*.cmake files. This means that on most
platforms one cannot rely on
find_package(liblzma 5.2.5 REQUIRED CONFIG)
or such finding those files.
