Lasse Collin 4773608554 Build: Enable Automake's parallel test harness.
It has been the default for quite some time already and
the old serial harness isn't discouraged. The downside is
that with parallel tests one cannot print progress info or
other diagnostics to the terminal; all output from the tests
will be in the log files only. But now that the compression
tests are separated the parallel tests will speed things up.

Lasse Collin 9a6dd6d46f Tests: Split test_compress.sh into separate test unit for each file.
test_compress.sh now takes one command line argument:
a filename to be tested. If it begins with "compress_generated_"
the file will be created with create_compress_files.

This will allow parallel execution of the slow tests.
2022-05-23 21:31:20 +03:00
Lasse Collin c7758ac9c7 Test: Make create_compress_files.c a little more flexible.
If a command line argument is given, then only the test file
of that type is created. It's quite dumb in sense that unknown
names don't give an error but it's good enough here.

Also use EXIT_FAILURE instead of 1 as exit status for errors.

The actual initialization is done via mythread_sync and seems
that GCC doesn't necessarily see that it gets initialized there.

Lasse Collin 5d8f3764ef xz: Fix build with --disable-threads. 2022-04-14 20:53:16 +03:00
Lasse Collin 1d59289727 xz: Change the cap of the default -T0 memlimit for 32-bit xz.
The SIZE_MAX / 3 was 1365 MiB. 1400 MiB gives little more room
and it looks like a round (artificial) number in --info-memory
once --info-memory is made to display it.

Also, using #if avoids useless code on 64-bit builds.
2022-04-14 14:50:17 +03:00
Lasse Collin c77fe55ddb xz: Add a default soft memory usage limit for --threads=0.
This is a soft limit in sense that it only affects the number of
threads. It never makes xz fail and it never makes xz change
settings that would affect the compressed output.

The idea is to make -T0 have more reasonable behavior when
the system has very many cores or when a memory-hungry
compression options are used. This also helps with 32-bit xz,
preventing it from running out of address space.

The downside of this commit is that now the number of threads
might become too low compared to what the user expected. I
hope this to be an acceptable compromise as the old behavior
has been a source of well-argued complaints for a long time.
2022-04-14 14:20:46 +03:00
Lasse Collin 0adc13bfe3 xz: Make -T0 use multithreaded mode on single-core systems.
The main problem withi the old behavior is that the compressed
output is different on single-core systems vs. multicore systems.
This commit fixes it by making -T0 one thread in multithreaded mode
on single-core systems.

The downside of this is that it uses more memory. However, if
--memlimit-compress is used, xz can (thanks to the previous commit)
drop to the single-threaded mode still.
2022-04-14 13:00:40 +03:00
Lasse Collin 898faa9728 xz: Changes to --memlimit-compress and --no-adjust.
In single-threaded mode, --memlimit-compress can make xz scale down
the LZMA2 dictionary size to meet the memory usage limit. This
obviously affects the compressed output. However, if xz was in
threaded mode, --memlimit-compress could make xz reduce the number
of threads but it wouldn't make xz switch from multithreaded mode
to single-threaded mode or scale down the LZMA2 dictionary size.
This seemed illogical and there was even a "FIXME?" about it.

Now --memlimit-compress can make xz switch to single-threaded
mode if one thread in multithreaded mode uses too much memory.
If memory usage is still too high, then the LZMA2 dictionary
size can be scaled down too.

The option --no-adjust was also changed so that it no longer
prevents xz from scaling down the number of threads as that
doesn't affect compressed output (only performance). After
this commit --no-adjust only prevents adjustments that affect
compressed output, that is, with --no-adjust xz won't switch
from multithreaded mode to single-threaded mode and won't
scale down the LZMA2 dictionary size.

The man page wasn't updated yet.

Lasse Collin cad299008c xz: Add --memlimit-mt-decompress along with a default limit value.
--memlimit-mt-decompress allows specifying the limit for
multithreaded decompression. This matches memlimit_threading in
liblzma. This limit can only affect the number of threads being
used; it will never prevent xz from decompressing a file. The
old --memlimit-decompress option is still used at the same time.

If the value of --memlimit-decompress (the default value or
one specified by the user) is less than the value of
--memlimit-mt-decompress , then --memlimit-mt-decompress is
reduced to match --memlimit-decompress.

Man page wasn't updated yet.

Lasse Collin fe87b4cd53 liblzma: Threaded decoder: Improve setting of pending_error.
It doesn't need to be done conditionally. The comments try
to explain it.
2022-04-06 23:11:59 +03:00
Lasse Collin 90621da7f6 liblzma: Add a new flag LZMA_FAIL_FAST for threaded decoder.
In most cases if the input file is corrupt the application won't
care about the uncompressed content at all. With this new flag
the threaded decoder will return an error as soon as any thread
has detected an error; it won't wait to copy out the data before
the location of the error.

I don't plan to use this in xz to keep the behavior consistent
between single-threaded and multi-threaded modes.
2022-04-06 13:16:00 +03:00
Lasse Collin 64b6d496dc liblzma: Threaded decoder: Always wait for output if LZMA_FINISH is used.
This makes the behavior consistent with the single-threaded
decoder when handling truncated .xz files.

Thanks to Jia Tan for finding this issue.

Lasse Collin e671bc8828 liblzma: Threaded decoder: Support zpipe.c-style decoding loop.
This makes it possible to call lzma_code() in a loop that only
reads new input when lzma_code() didn't fill the output buffer
completely. That isn't the calling style suggested by the
liblzma example program 02_decompress.c so perhaps the usefulness
of this feature is limited.

Also, it is possible to write such a loop so that it works
with the single-threaded decoder but not with the threaded
decoder even after this commit, or so that it works only if
lzma_mt.timeout = 0.

The zlib tutorial <https://zlib.net/zlib_how.html> is a well-known
example of a loop where more input is read only when output isn't
full. Porting this as is to liblzma would work with the
single-threaded decoder (if LZMA_CONCATENATED isn't used) but it
wouldn't work with threaded decoder even after this commit because
the loop assumes that no more output is possible when it cannot
read more input ("if (strm.avail_in == 0) break;"). This cannot
be fixed at liblzma side; the loop has to be modified at least
a little.

I'm adding this in any case because the actual code is simple
and short and should have no harmful side-effects in other
situations.

Lasse Collin 69d1b3fc29 xzgrep: Fix escaping of malicious filenames (ZDI-CAN-16587).
Malicious filenames can make xzgrep to write to arbitrary files
or (with a GNU sed extension) lead to arbitrary code execution.

xzgrep from XZ Utils versions up to and including 5.2.5 are
affected. 5.3.1alpha and 5.3.2alpha are affected as well.
This patch works for all of them.

This bug was inherited from gzip's zgrep. gzip 1.12 includes
a fix for zgrep.

The issue with the old sed script is that with multiple newlines,
the N-command will read the second line of input, then the
s-commands will be skipped because it's not the end of the
file yet, then a new sed cycle starts and the pattern space
is printed and emptied. So only the last line or two get escaped.

One way to fix this would be to read all lines into the pattern
space first. However, the included fix is even simpler: All lines
except the last line get a backslash appended at the end. To ensure
that shell command substitution doesn't eat a possible trailing
newline, a colon is appended to the filename before escaping.
The colon is later used to separate the filename from the grep
output so it is fine to add it here instead of a few lines later.

The old code also wasn't POSIX compliant as it used \n in the
replacement section of the s-command. Using \<newline> is the
POSIX compatible method.

LC_ALL=C was added to the two critical sed commands. POSIX sed
manual recommends it when using sed to manipulate pathnames
because in other locales invalid multibyte sequences might
cause issues with some sed implementations. In case of GNU sed,
these particular sed scripts wouldn't have such problems but some
other scripts could have, see:

    info '(sed)Locale Considerations'

This vulnerability was discovered by:
cleemy desu wayo working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative

Thanks to Jim Meyering and Paul Eggert discussing the different
ways to fix this and for coordinating the patch release schedule
with gzip.

Lasse Collin bd93b776c1 liblzma: Fix a deadlock in threaded decoder.
If a worker thread has consumed all input so far and it's
waiting on thr->cond and then the main thread enables
partial update for that thread, the code used to deadlock.
This commit allows one dummy decoding pass to occur in this
situation which then also does the partial update.

As part of the fix, this moves thr->progress_* updates to
avoid the second thr->mutex locking.

Thanks to Jia Tan for finding, debugging, and reporting the bug.

Lasse Collin 487c77d487 liblzma: Threaded decoder: Don't stop threads on LZMA_TIMED_OUT.
LZMA_TIMED_OUT is not an error and thus stopping threads on
LZMA_TIMED_OUT breaks the decoder badly.

Thanks to Jia Tan for finding the bug and for the patch.

Lasse Collin 6c6da57ae2 xz: Add initial support for threaded decompression.
If threading support is enabled at build time, this will
use lzma_stream_decoder_mt() even for single-threaded mode.
With memlimit_threading=0 the behavior should be identical.

This needs some work like adding --memlimit-threading=LIMIT.

The original patch from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior included
a method to get currently available RAM on Linux. It might
be one way to go but as it is Linux-only, the available-RAM
approach needs work for portability or using a fallback method
on other OSes.

The man page wasn't updated yet.

Lasse Collin 1a4bb97a00 liblzma: Add new output queue (lzma_outq) features.
Add lzma_outq_clear_cache2() which may leave one buffer allocated
in the cache.

Add lzma_outq_outbuf_memusage() to get the memory needed for
a single lzma_outbuf. This is now used internally in outqueue.c too.

Track both the total amount of memory allocated and the amount of
memory that is in active use (not in cache).

In lzma_outbuf, allow storing the current input position that
matches the current output position. This way the main thread
can notice when no more output is possible without first providing
more input.

Allow specifying return code for lzma_outq_read() in a finished
lzma_outbuf.

Lasse Collin 4f78f5fcf6 liblzma: Check the return value of lzma_index_append() in threaded encoder.
If lzma_index_append() failed (most likely memory allocation failure)
it could have gone unnoticed and the resulting .xz file would have
an incorrect Index. Decompressing such a file would produce the
correct uncompressed data but then an error would occur when
verifying the Index field.

Lasse Collin 1c9a5786d2 liblzma: Make Block decoder catch certain types of errors better.
Now it limits the input and output buffer sizes that are
passed to a raw decoder. This way there's no need to check
if the sizes can grow too big or overflow when updating
Compressed Size and Uncompressed Size counts. This also means
that a corrupt file cannot cause the raw decoder to process
useless extra input or output that would exceed the size info
in Block Header (and thus cause LZMA_DATA_ERROR anyway).

More importantly, now the size information is verified more
carefully in case raw decoder returns LZMA_OK. This doesn't
really matter with the current single-threaded .xz decoder
as the errors would be detected slightly later anyway. But
this helps avoiding corner cases in the upcoming threaded
decompressor, and it might help other Block decoder uses
outside liblzma too.

The test files bad-1-lzma2-{9,10,11}.xz test these conditions.
With the single-threaded .xz decoder the only difference is
that LZMA_DATA_ERROR is detected in a difference place now.
