Lasse Collin b473a92891 Change a few HTTP URLs to HTTPS.
The xz man page timestamp was intentionally left unchanged.

Jia Tan fd90e2f4c2 liblzma: Remove note from lzma_options_bcj about the ARM64 exception.
This was left in by mistake since an early version of the ARM64 filter
used a different struct for its options.

Jia Tan 55ba6e9300 liblzma: Add set lzma.h as the main page for Doxygen documentation.
The \mainpage command is used in the first block of comments in lzma.h.
This changes the previously nearly empty index.html to use the first
comment block in lzma.h for its contents.

lzma.h is no longer documented separately, but this is for the better
since lzma.h only defined a few macros that users do not need to use.
The individual API header files all have a disclaimer that they should
not be #included directly, so there should be no confusion on the fact
that lzma.h should be the only header used by applications.

Additionally, the note "See ../lzma.h for information about liblzma as
a whole." was removed since lzma.h is now the main page of the
generated HTML and does not have its own page anymore. So it would be
confusing in the HTML version and was only a "nice to have" when
browsing the source files.

Lasse Collin 717aa3651c xz: Simplify the error-label in Capsicum sandbox code.
Also remove unneeded "sandbox_allowed = false;" as this code
will never be run more than once (making it work with multiple
input files isn't trivial).

Lasse Collin a0eecc235d xz: Make Capsicum sandbox more strict with stdin and stdout. 2023-03-08 23:22:15 +08:00
Jia Tan 916448d624 Revert: "Add warning if Capsicum sandbox system calls are unsupported."
The warning causes the exit status to be 2, so this will cause problems
for many scripted use cases for xz. The sandbox usage is already very
limited already, so silently disabling this allows it to be more usable.

Jia Tan 01587dda2a xz: Fix -Wunused-label in io_sandbox_enter().
Thanks to Xin Li for recommending the fix.

Jia Tan 5fb9367866 xz: Add warning if Capsicum sandbox system calls are unsupported.
The warning is only used when errno == ENOSYS. Otherwise, xz still
issues a fatal error.
2023-03-06 21:37:45 +08:00
Jia Tan 61ee82cb12 xz: Skip Capsicum sandbox system calls when they are unsupported.
If a system has the Capsicum header files but does not actually
implement the system calls, then this would render xz unusable. Instead,
we can check if errno == ENOSYS and not issue a fatal error.

Jia Tan f070722b57 xz: Reorder cap_enter() to beginning of capsicum sandbox code.
cap_enter() puts the process into the sandbox. If later calls to
cap_rights_limit() fail, then the process can still have some extra
protections.

Jia Tan f1ab1f6b33 liblzma: Clarify lzma_lzma_preset() documentation in lzma12.h.
lzma_lzma_preset() does not guarentee that the lzma_options_lzma are
usable in an encoder even if it returns false (success). If liblzma
is built with default configurations, then the options will always be
usable. However if the match finders hc3, hc4, or bt4 are disabled, then
the options may not be usable depending on the preset level requested.

The documentation was updated to reflect this complexity, since this
behavior was unclear before.

Jia Tan 3cf72c4bcb liblzma: Replace '\n' -> newline in filter.h documentation.
The '\n' renders as a newline when the comments are converted to html
by Doxygen.

Jia Tan 002006be62 liblzma: Shorten return description for two functions in filter.h.
Shorten the description for lzma_raw_encoder_memusage() and
lzma_raw_decoder_memusage().

Jia Tan 463d9359b8 liblzma: Reword a few lines in filter.h 2023-02-24 21:09:39 +08:00
Jia Tan 01441df92c liblzma: Improve documentation in filter.h.
All functions now explicitly specify parameter and return values.
The notes and code annotations were moved before the parameter and
return value descriptions for consistency.

Also, the description above lzma_filter_encoder_is_supported() about
not being able to list available filters was removed since
lzma_str_list_filters() will do this.

Lasse Collin 30e95bb44c liblzma: Avoid null pointer + 0 (undefined behavior in C).
In the C99 and C17 standards, section 6.5.6 paragraph 8 means that
adding 0 to a null pointer is undefined behavior. As of writing,
"clang -fsanitize=undefined" (Clang 15) diagnoses this. However,
I'm not aware of any compiler that would take advantage of this
when optimizing (Clang 15 included). It's good to avoid this anyway
since compilers might some day infer that pointer arithmetic implies
that the pointer is not NULL. That is, the following foo() would then
unconditionally return 0, even for foo(NULL, 0):

    void bar(char *a, char *b);

    int foo(char *a, size_t n)
    {
        bar(a, a + n);
        return a == NULL;
    }

In contrast to C, C++ explicitly allows null pointer + 0. So if
the above is compiled as C++ then there is no undefined behavior
in the foo(NULL, 0) call.

To me it seems that changing the C standard would be the sane
thing to do (just add one sentence) as it would ensure that a huge
amount of old code won't break in the future. Based on web searches
it seems that a large number of codebases (where null pointer + 0
occurs) are being fixed instead to be future-proof in case compilers
will some day optimize based on it (like making the above foo(NULL, 0)
return 0) which in the worst case will cause security bugs.

Some projects don't plan to change it. For example, gnulib and thus
many GNU tools currently require that null pointer + 0 is defined:

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2021-11/msg00000.html

    https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Other-portability-assumptions.html

In XZ Utils null pointer + 0 issue should be fixed after this
commit. This adds a few if-statements and thus branches to avoid
null pointer + 0. These check for size > 0 instead of ptr != NULL
because this way bugs where size > 0 && ptr == NULL will likely
get caught quickly. None of them are in hot spots so it shouldn't
matter for performance.

A little less readable version would be replacing

    ptr + offset

with

    offset != 0 ? ptr + offset : ptr

or creating a macro for it:

    #define my_ptr_add(ptr, offset) \
            ((offset) != 0 ? ((ptr) + (offset)) : (ptr))

Checking for offset != 0 instead of ptr != NULL allows GCC >= 8.1,
Clang >= 7, and Clang-based ICX to optimize it to the very same code
as ptr + offset. That is, it won't create a branch. So for hot code
this could be a good solution to avoid null pointer + 0. Unfortunately
other compilers like ICC 2021 or MSVC 19.33 (VS2022) will create a
branch from my_ptr_add().

Thanks to Marcin Kowalczyk for reporting the problem:

Lasse Collin d831072cce liblzma: Very minor API doc tweaks.
Use "member" to refer to struct members as that's the term used
by the C standard.

Use lzma_options_delta.dist and such in docs so that in Doxygen's
HTML output they will link to the doc of the struct member.

Clean up a few trailing white spaces too.

Lasse Collin 718b22a6c5 liblzma: Silence a warning from MSVC.
It gives C4146 here since unary minus with unsigned integer
is still unsigned (which is the intention here). Doing it
with substraction makes it clearer and avoids the warning.

Thanks to Nathan Moinvaziri for reporting this.

Lasse Collin 1dbe12b90c xz: Improve the comment about start_time in mytime.c.
start_time is relative to an arbitary point in time, it's not
