test_block_header now achieves higher test coverage. Also the
test will now compile and skip properly if encoders or decoders
are disabled.
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
test_bcj_exact_size, test_check, test_hardware, and test_index will
all now compile and skip properly if encoders or decoders are disabled.
Also fixed a small typo (disabed -> disabled).
Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
When encoders were disabled and threading enabled, outqueue.c and
outqueue.h were not compiled. The multi threaded decoder required
these files, so compilation failed.
The documentation states LZMA_PROG_ERROR can be returned from
lzma_index_cat. Previously, lzma_index_cat could not return
LZMA_PROG_ERROR. Now, the validation is similar to
lzma_index_append, which does a NULL check on the index
parameter.
The check type of the last Stream in dest was never copied to
dest->checks (the code tried to copy it but it was done too late).
This meant that the value returned by lzma_index_checks() would
only include the check type of the last Stream when multiple
lzma_indexes had been concatenated.
In xz --list this meant that the summary would only list the
check type of the last Stream, so in this sense this was only
a visual bug. However, it's possible that some applications
use this information for purposes other than merely showing
it to the users in an informational message. I'm not aware of
such applications though and it's quite possible that such
applications don't exist.
Regular streamed decompression in xz or any other application
doesn't use lzma_index_cat() and so this bug cannot affect them.
If lzma_code() returns LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR it is now possible
to use lzma_memlimit_set() to increase the limit and continue
decoding. This was supposed to work from the beginning but
there was a bug. With other decoders (.lzma or threaded .xz)
this already worked correctly.
That is, the Filter ID will be changed once the design is final.
The current version will be removed. So files created with the
tempoary Filter ID won't be supported in the future.
This test fails before commit 18d7facd38.
test_files.sh now runs xz -l for bad-3-index-uncomp-overflow.xz
because only then the previously-buggy code path gets tested.
Normal decompression doesn't use lzma_index_append() at all.
Instead, lzma_index_hash functions are used and those already
did the overflow check.
Running the current xzgrep on Slackware 10.1 with GNU bash 3.00.15:
xzgrep: line 231: syntax error near unexpected token `;;'
On SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 with Korn Shell 93r:
syntax error at line 231 : `;;' unexpected
Turns out that some old shells don't like apostrophes (') inside
command substitutions. For example, the following fails:
x=$(echo foo
# asdf'zxcv
echo bar)
printf '%s\n' "$x"
The problem was introduced by commits
69d1b3fc29 (2022-03-29),
bd7b290f3f (2022-07-18), and
a648978b20 (2022-07-19).
5.2.6 is the only stable release that included
this problem.
Thanks to Kevin R. Bulgrien for reporting the problem
on SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 and for providing the fix.
Warnings about unused tuktest_run_test conveniently tell which
test programs haven't been converted to tuktest.h yet but I
silenced that warning too for now anyway.
It is fine to use __attribute__((__unused__)) even when the
function is actually used because the attribute only means
that the function might be unused.
lzma_stream_encoder() and lzma_stream_encoder_mt() always assumed
this. Before this patch, failing lzma_filters_copy() could result
in free(invalid_pointer) or invalid memory reads in stream_encoder.c
or stream_encoder_mt.c.
To trigger this, allocating memory for a filter options structure
has to fail. These are tiny allocations so in practice they very
rarely fail.
Certain badness in the filter chain array could also make
lzma_filters_copy() fail but both stream_encoder.c and
stream_encoder_mt.c validate the filter chain before
trying to copy it, so the crash cannot occur this way.
The documentation in src/liblzma/api/lzma/index.h suggests that
both the unpadded (compressed) size and the uncompressed size
are checked for overflow, but only the unpadded size was checked.
The uncompressed check is done first since that is more likely to
occur than the unpadded or index field size overflows.
The previous commit split liblzma.map into liblzma_linux.map and
liblzma_generic.map. This commit updates the CMake build for those.
common_w32res.rc dependency was listed under Linux/FreeBSD while
obviously it belongs to Windows when building a DLL.
RHEL/CentOS 7 shipped with 5.1.2alpha, including the threaded
encoder that is behind #ifdef LZMA_UNSTABLE in the API headers.
In 5.1.2alpha these symbols are under XZ_5.1.2alpha in liblzma.map.
API/ABI compatibility tracking isn't done between development
releases so newer releases didn't have XZ_5.1.2alpha anymore.
Later RHEL/CentOS 7 updated xz to 5.2.2 but they wanted to keep
the exported symbols compatible with 5.1.2alpha. After checking
the ABI changes it turned out that >= 5.2.0 ABI is backward
compatible with the threaded encoder functions from 5.1.2alpha
(but not vice versa as fixes and extensions to these functions
were made between 5.1.2alpha and 5.2.0).
In RHEL/CentOS 7, XZ Utils 5.2.2 was patched with
xz-5.2.2-compat-libs.patch to modify liblzma.map:
- XZ_5.1.2alpha was added with lzma_stream_encoder_mt and
lzma_stream_encoder_mt_memusage. This matched XZ Utils 5.1.2alpha.
- XZ_5.2 was replaced with XZ_5.2.2. It is clear that this was
an error; the intention was to keep using XZ_5.2 (XZ_5.2.2
has never been used in XZ Utils). So XZ_5.2.2 lists all
symbols that were listed under XZ_5.2 before the patch.
lzma_stream_encoder_mt and _mt_memusage are included too so
they are listed both here and under XZ_5.1.2alpha.
The patch didn't add any __asm__(".symver ...") lines to the .c
files. Thus the resulting liblzma.so exports the threaded encoder
functions under XZ_5.1.2alpha only. Listing the two functions
also under XZ_5.2.2 in liblzma.map has no effect without
matching .symver lines.
The lack of XZ_5.2 in RHEL/CentOS 7 means that binaries linked
against unpatched XZ Utils 5.2.x won't run on RHEL/CentOS 7.
This is unfortunate but this alone isn't too bad as the problem
is contained within RHEL/CentOS 7 and doesn't affect users
of other distributions. It could also be fixed internally in
RHEL/CentOS 7.
The second problem is more serious: In XZ Utils 5.2.2 the API
headers don't have #ifdef LZMA_UNSTABLE for obvious reasons.
This is true in RHEL/CentOS 7 version too. Thus now programs
using new APIs can be compiled without an extra #define. However,
the programs end up depending on symbol version XZ_5.1.2alpha
(and possibly also XZ_5.2.2) instead of XZ_5.2 as they would
with an unpatched XZ Utils 5.2.2. This means that such binaries
won't run on other distributions shipping XZ Utils >= 5.2.0 as
they don't provide XZ_5.1.2alpha or XZ_5.2.2; they only provide
XZ_5.2 (and XZ_5.0). (This includes RHEL/CentOS 8 as the patch
luckily isn't included there anymore with XZ Utils 5.2.4.)
Binaries built by RHEL/CentOS 7 users get distributed and then
people wonder why they don't run on some other distribution.
Seems that people have found out about the patch and been copying
it to some build scripts, seemingly curing the symptoms but
actually spreading the illness further and outside RHEL/CentOS 7.
The ill patch seems to be from late 2016 (RHEL 7.3) and in 2017 it
had spread at least to EasyBuild. I heard about the events only
recently. :-(
This commit splits liblzma.map into two versions: one for
GNU/Linux and another for other OSes that can use symbol versioning
(FreeBSD, Solaris, maybe others). The Linux-specific file and the
matching additions to .c files add full compatibility with binaries
that have been built against a RHEL/CentOS-patched liblzma. Builds
for OSes other than GNU/Linux won't get the vaccine as they should
be immune to the problem (I really hope that no build script uses
the RHEL/CentOS 7 patch outside GNU/Linux).
The RHEL/CentOS compatibility symbols XZ_5.1.2alpha and XZ_5.2.2
are intentionally put *after* XZ_5.2 in liblzma_linux.map. This way
if one forgets to #define HAVE_SYMBOL_VERSIONS_LINUX when building,
the resulting liblzma.so.5 will have lzma_stream_encoder_mt@@XZ_5.2
since XZ_5.2 {...} is the first one that lists that function.
Without HAVE_SYMBOL_VERSIONS_LINUX @XZ_5.1.2alpha and @XZ_5.2.2
will be missing but that's still a minor problem compared to
only having lzma_stream_encoder_mt@@XZ_5.1.2alpha!
The "local: *;" line was moved to XZ_5.0 so that it doesn't need
to be moved around. It doesn't matter where it is put.
Having two similar liblzma_*.map files is a bit silly as it is,
at least for now, easily possible to generate the generic one
from the Linux-specific file. But that adds extra steps and
increases the risk of mistakes when supporting more than one
build system. So I rather maintain two files in parallel and let
validate_map.sh check that they are in sync when "make mydist"
is run.
This adds .symver lines for lzma_stream_encoder_mt@XZ_5.2.2 and
lzma_stream_encoder_mt_memusage@XZ_5.2.2 even though these
weren't exported by RHEL/CentOS 7 (only @@XZ_5.1.2alpha was
for these two). I added these anyway because someone might
misunderstand the RHEL/CentOS 7 patch and think that @XZ_5.2.2
(@@XZ_5.2.2) versions were exported too.
At glance one could suggest using __typeof__ to copy the function
prototypes when making aliases. However, this doesn't work trivially
because __typeof__ won't copy attributes (lzma_nothrow, lzma_pure)
and it won't change symbol visibility from hidden to default (done
by LZMA_API()). Attributes could be copied with __copy__ attribute
but that needs GCC 9 and a fallback method would be needed anyway.
This uses __symver__ attribute with GCC >= 10 and
__asm__(".symver ...") with everything else. The attribute method
is required for LTO (-flto) support with GCC. Using -flto with
GCC older than 10 is now broken on GNU/Linux and will not be fixed
(can silently result in a broken liblzma build that has dangerously
incorrect symbol versions). LTO builds with Clang seem to work
with the traditional __asm__(".symver ...") method.
Thanks to Boud Roukema for reporting the problem and discussing
the details and testing the fix.
These are a minor thing especially since the xz build has
some real problems still like lack of large file support
on 32-bit systems but I'll commit this since the code exists.
Thanks to Jia Tan.
Jia Tan made white-space changes and also changed "Language: pt_BR\n"
to pt. The translator wasn't reached so I'm hoping these changes
are OK and will commit it without translator's approval.
Thanks to Pedro Albuquerque and Jia Tan.
Quite a few white-space changes were made by Jia Tan to make
this look good. Contacting the translator didn't succeed so
I'm committing this without getting translator's approval.
Thanks to Мирослав Николић (Miroslav Nikolic) and Jia Tan.
I made a few white space changes to these without getting them
approved by the translation teams. (I tried to contact the hu and
zh_TW teams but didn't succeed. I didn't contact the zh_CN team.)
The German translation isn't identical to the file in
the Translation Project but the changes (white space changes
only) were approved by the translator Mario Blättermann.
