Lasse Collin 689ae24273 liblzma: Remove ifunc support.
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.

Lasse Collin e93e13c8b3 Remove the backdoor found in 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 (CVE-2024-3094).
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.

Lasse Collin 49324b711f Build: Use only the generic symbol versioning with NVIDIA HPC Compiler.
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.

Lasse Collin c273123ed0 CMake: Use only the generic symbol versioning with NVIDIA HPC Compiler.
It doesn't support the __symver__ attribute or __asm__(".symver ...").
The generic symbol versioning can still be used since it only needs
linker support.

Sergey Kosukhin 096bc0e3f8 liblzma: Fix building with NVHPC (NVIDIA HPC SDK).
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.

Lasse Collin 2ad7fad670 CMake: Disable symbol versioning on non-glibc Linux.
This better matches what configure.ac does. For example, musl has
only basic symbol versioning support:

https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc.html#Symbol_versioning

configure.ac tries to enable symbol versioning only with glibc
so now CMake does the same.

Lasse Collin 82f0c0d39e CMake: Make symbol versioning configurable. 2024-03-15 17:30:50 +02:00
Lasse Collin 45d33bfc45 Build: Style tweaks to configure.ac.
The AC_MSG_ERROR line is overlong anyway as are a few other
AC_MSG_ERROR lines already.

Sergey Kosukhin f56ed6fac6 Build: Let the users override the symbol versioning variant.
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.

Jia Tan a3a29bbd5d Tests: Test --single-stream can decompress bad-3-corrupt_lzma2.xz.
The first stream in this file is valid, so this tests that xz properly
stops after decompressing it.

Jia Tan 82ecc53819 liblzma: Fix false Valgrind error report with GCC.
With GCC and a certain combination of flags, Valgrind will falsely
trigger an invalid write. This appears to be due to the omission of
instructions to properly save, set up, and restore the frame pointer.

The IFUNC resolver is a leaf function since it only calls a function
that is inlined. So sometimes GCC omits the frame pointer instructions
in the resolver unless this optimization is explictly disabled.

This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2267598.

Jia Tan 72d2933bfa liblzma: Use attribute no_profile_instrument_function with ifunc.
Thanks to Sam James for determining this was the attribute needed to
workaround the GCC bug and for his version of the patch in Gentoo.
2024-03-05 01:54:30 +08:00
Jia Tan e5faaebbcf Build: Require attribute no_profile_instrument_function for ifunc usage.
Using __attribute__((__no_profile_instrument_function__)) on the ifunc
resolver works around a bug in GCC -fprofile-generate:
it adds profiling code even to ifunc resolvers which can make
the ifunc resolver crash at program startup. This attribute
was not introduced until GCC 7 and Clang 13, so ifunc won't
be used with prior versions of these compilers.

This bug was brought to our attention by:

    https://bugs.gentoo.org/925415

And was reported to upstream GCC by:

It's only done with CMake >= 3.20 and if library support

Jia Tan bbf112e323 xz: Change logging level for thread reduction to highest verbosity only.
Now that multi threaded encoding is the default, users do not need to
see a warning message everytime the number of threads is reduced. On
some machines, this could happen very often. It is not unreasonable for
users to need to set double verbose mode to see this kind of
information.

To see these warning messages -vv or --verbose --verbose must be passed
to set xz into the highest possible verbosity mode.

These warnings had caused automated testing frameworks to fail when they
expected no output to stderr.

Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for reporting this and for the
initial version of the patch.

Jia Tan 328c52da8a Build: Fix Linux Landlock feature test in Autotools and CMake builds.
The previous Linux Landlock feature test assumed that having the
linux/landlock.h header file was enough. The new feature tests also
requires that prctl() and the required Landlock system calls are
supported.
