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.
(cherry picked from commit 096bc0e3f8)
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.

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.

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.
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.
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:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11411
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.
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.
The French and Brazilian Portuguese man page translations have not been
updated since the switch from public domain to 0BSD. The old GPLv2
strings have now been removed from these files.
Old versions of Clang reported the unsupported function attribute and
__crc32d() function as warnings instead of errors, so the feature test
passed when it shouldn't have, causing a compile error at build time.
-Werror was added to this feature test to fix this. The change is not
needed for CMake because check_c_source_compiles() also performs
linking and the error is caught then.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior for reporting this.
If xz is given a directory, it should look like this:
$ xz /usr/bin
xz: /usr/bin: Is a directory, skipping
The Landlock rules didn't allow opening directories for reading:
$ xz /usr/bin
xz: /usr/bin: Permission denied
The simplest fix was to allow opening directories for reading.
While it's a bit silly to allow it solely for the error message,
it shouldn't make the sandbox significantly weaker.
The single-file use case (like when called from GNU tar) is
still as strict as possible: all Landlock restrictions are
enabled before (de)compression starts.
