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.
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.
Previously lzma_lzma_props_encode() and lzma_lzma2_props_encode()
assumed that the options pointers must be non-NULL because the
with these filters the API says it must never be NULL. It is
good to do these checks anyway.
OpenBSD does not allow to change the group of a file if the user
does not belong to this group. In contrast to Linux, OpenBSD also
fails if the new group is the same as the old one. Do not call
fchown(2) in this case, it would change nothing anyway.
This fixes an issue with Perl Alien::Build module.
https://github.com/PerlAlien/Alien-Build/issues/62
Sometimes the version number from "less -V" contains a dot,
sometimes not. xzless failed detect the version number when
it does contain a dot. This fixes it.
Thanks to nick87720z for reporting this. Apparently it had been
reported here <https://bugs.gentoo.org/489362> in 2013.
Due to architectural limitations, address space available to a single
userspace process on MIPS32 is limited to 2 GiB, not 4, even on systems
that have more physical RAM -- e.g. 64-bit systems with 32-bit
userspace, or systems that use XPA (an extension similar to x86's PAE).
So, for MIPS32, we have to impose stronger memory limits. I've chosen
2000MiB to give the process some headroom.
Omit the -q option from xz, gzip, and bzip2. With xz this shouldn't
matter. With gzip it's important because -q makes gzip replace SIGPIPE
with exit status 2. With bzip2 it's important because with -q bzip2
is completely silent if input is corrupt while other decompressors
still give an error message.
Avoiding exit status 2 from gzip is important because bzip2 uses
exit status 2 to indicate corrupt input. Before this commit xzgrep
didn't recognize corrupt .bz2 files because xzgrep was treating
exit status 2 as SIGPIPE for gzip compatibility.
zstd still needs -q because otherwise it is noisy in normal
operation.
The code to detect real SIGPIPE didn't check if the exit status
was due to a signal (>= 128) and so could ignore some other exit
status too.
This is a minor fix since this affects only the situation when
the files differ and the exit status is something else than 0.
In such case there could be SIGPIPE from a decompression tool
and that would result in exit status of 2 from xzdiff/xzcmp
while the correct behavior would be to return 1 or whatever
else diff or cmp may have returned.
This commit omits the -q option from xz/gzip/bzip2/lzop arguments.
I'm not sure why the -q was used in the first place, perhaps it
hides warnings in some situation that I cannot see at the moment.
Hopefully the removal won't introduce a new bug.
With gzip the -q option was harmful because it made gzip return 2
instead of >= 128 with SIGPIPE. Ignoring exit status 2 (warning
from gzip) isn't practical because bzip2 uses exit status 2 to
indicate corrupt input file. It's better if SIGPIPE results in
exit status >= 128.
With bzip2 the removal of -q seems to be good because with -q
it prints nothing if input is corrupt. The other tools aren't
silent in this situation even with -q. On the other hand, if
zstd support is added, it will need -q since otherwise it's
noisy in normal situations.

When Intel CET is enabled, we need to include <cet.h> in assembly codes
to mark Intel CET support and add _CET_ENDBR to indirect jump targets.
Tested on Intel Tiger Lake under CET enabled Linux.
I don't want to use \c in macro arguments but groff_man(7)
suggests that \f has better portability. \f would be needed
for the .TP strings for portability reasons anyway.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason.
A few are simply omitted, most are converted to "for example"
and surrounded with commas. Sounds like that this is better
style, for example, man-pages(7) recommends avoiding such
abbreviations except in parenthesis.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason.
Docs of ancient troff/nroff mention \(em (em-dash) but not \(en
and \- was used for both minus and en-dash. I don't know how
portable \(en is nowadays but it can be changed back if someone
complains. At least GNU groff and OpenBSD's mandoc support it.
Thanks to Bjarni Ingi Gislason for the patch.

DJGPP 2.05 added support for thousands separators but it's
broken at least under WinXP with Finnish locale that uses
a non-breaking space as the thousands separator. Workaround
by disabling thousands separators for DJGPP builds.
strerror() needs <string.h> which happened to be included via
tuklib_common.h -> tuklib_config.h -> sysdefs.h if HAVE_CONFIG_H
was defined. This wasn't tested without config.h before so it
had worked fine.
string.h is used unconditionally elsewhere in the project and
configure has always stopped if limits.h is missing, so these
headers must have been always available even on the weirdest
systems.
The dependency on po4a is optional. It's never required to install
the translated man pages when xz is built from a release tarball.
If po4a is missing when building from xz.git, the translated man
pages won't be generated but otherwise the build will work normally.
The translations are only updated automatically by autogen.sh and
by "make mydist". This makes it easy to keep po4a as an optional
dependency and ensures that I won't forget to put updated
translations to a release tarball.
The translated man pages aren't installed if --disable-nls is used.
The installation of translated man pages abuses Automake internals
by calling "install-man" with redefined dist_man_MANS and man_MANS.
This makes the hairy script code slightly less hairy. If it breaks
some day, this code needs to be fixed; don't blame Automake developers.
Also, this adds more quotes to the existing shell script code in
the Makefile.am "-hook"s.
See the code comment for reasoning. It's far from perfect but
hopefully good enough for certain cases while hopefully doing
nothing bad in other situations.
At presets -5 ... -9, 4020 MiB vs. 4096 MiB makes no difference
on how xz scales down the number of threads.
The limit has to be a few MiB below 4096 MiB because otherwise
things like "xz --lzma2=dict=500MiB" won't scale down the dict
size enough and xz cannot allocate enough memory. With
"ulimit -v $((4096 * 1024))" on x86-64, the limit in xz had
to be no more than 4085 MiB. Some safety margin is good though.
This is hack but it should be useful when running 32-bit xz on
a 64-bit kernel that gives full 4 GiB address space to xz.
Hopefully this is enough to solve this:

FreeBSD has a patch that limits the result in tuklib_physmem()
to SIZE_MAX on 32-bit systems. While I think it's not the way
to do it, the results on --memlimit-compress have been good. This
commit should achieve practically identical results for compression
while leaving decompression and tuklib_physmem() and thus
lzma_physmem() unaffected.
xz --flush-timeout=2000, old version:
1. xz is started. The next flush will happen after two seconds.
2. No input for one second.
3. A burst of a few kilobytes of input.
4. No input for one second.
5. Two seconds have passed and flushing starts.
The first second counted towards the flush-timeout even though
there was no pending data. This can cause flushing to occur more
often than needed.
xz --flush-timeout=2000, after this commit:
1. xz is started.
2. No input for one second.
3. A burst of a few kilobytes of input. The next flush will
happen after two seconds counted from the time when the
first bytes of the burst were read.
4. No input for one second.
5. No input for another second.
6. Two seconds have passed and flushing starts.
The same code sequence repeats so it's nicer as a separate function.
Note that in one case there was no test for opt_mode != MODE_TEST,
but that was only because that condition would always be true, so
this commit doesn't change the behavior there.
When input blocked, xz --flush-timeout=1 would wake up every
millisecond and initiate flushing which would have nothing to
flush and thus would just waste CPU time. The fix disables the
timeout when no input has been seen since the previous flush.
