15a133b6d1 xz: Make it a fatal error if enabling the sandbox fails.
Perhaps it's too drastic but on the other hand it will let me
learn about possible problems if people report the errors.
This won't be backported to the v5.2 branch.

3539705108 xz: Limit --memlimit-compress to at most 4020 MiB for 32-bit xz.
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:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196786

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.

ba76d67585 xz: Set the --flush-timeout deadline when the first input byte arrives.
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.

8150356810 xz: coder.c: Make writing output a separate function.
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.

5a49e081a0 xz: Fix semi-busy-waiting in xz --flush-timeout.
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.

1b4675cebf Add LZMA_RET_INTERNAL1..8 to lzma_ret and use one for LZMA_TIMED_OUT.
LZMA_TIMED_OUT is *internally* used as a value for lzma_ret
enumeration. Previously it was #defined to 32 and cast to lzma_ret.
That way it wasn't visible in the public API, but this was hackish.

Now the public API has eight LZMA_RET_INTERNALx members and
LZMA_TIMED_OUT is #defined to LZMA_RET_INTERNAL1. This way
the code is cleaner overall although the public API has a few
extra mysterious enum members.

b55d79461d xz: Fix a crash in progress indicator when in passthru mode.
"xz -dcfv not_an_xz_file" crashed (all four options are
required to trigger it). It caused xz to call
lzma_get_progress(&strm, ...) when no coder was initialized
in strm. In this situation strm.internal is NULL which leads
to a crash in lzma_get_progress().

The bug was introduced when xz started using lzma_get_progress()
to get progress info for multi-threaded compression, so the
bug is present in versions 5.1.3alpha and higher.

6bd0349c58 Revert "xz: Use pipe2() if available."
This reverts commit 7a11c4a8e5.
It is a problem when libc has pipe2() but the kernel is too
old to have pipe2() and thus pipe2() fails. In xz it's pointless
to have a fallback for non-functioning pipe2(); it's better to
avoid pipe2() completely.

1238381143 xz: Add support for sandboxing with Capsicum.
The sandboxing is used conditionally as described in main.c.
This isn't optimal but it was much easier to implement than
a full sandboxing solution and it still covers the most common
use cases where xz is writing to standard output. This should
have practically no effect on performance even with small files
as fork() isn't needed.

C and locale libraries can open files as needed. This has been
fine in the past, but it's a problem with things like Capsicum.
io_sandbox_enter() tries to ensure that various locale-related
files have been loaded before cap_enter() is called, but it's
possible that there are other similar problems which haven't
been seen yet.

Currently Capsicum is available on FreeBSD 10 and later
and there is a port to Linux too.

Thanks to Loganaden Velvindron for help.

f0f1f6c723 xz: Don't fail if stdin doesn't support O_NONBLOCK.
It's a problem at least on OpenBSD which doesn't support
O_NONBLOCK on e.g. /dev/null. I'm not surprised if it's
a problem on other OSes too since this behavior is allowed
in POSIX-1.2008.

The code relying on this behavior was committed in June 2013
and included in 5.1.3alpha released on 2013-10-26. Clearly
the development releases only get limited testing.

dee6ad3d59 xz: Add preliminary support for --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT.
When --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT is used, xz will use
LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH if read() would block and at least
TIMEOUT milliseconds has elapsed since the previous flush.

This can be useful in realtime-like use cases where the
data is simultanously decompressed by another process
(possibly on a different computer). If new uncompressed
input data is produced slowly, without this option xz could
buffer the data for a long time until it would become
decompressible from the output.

If TIMEOUT is 0, the feature is disabled. This is the default.

This commit affects the compression side. Using xz for
the decompression side for the above purpose doesn't work
yet so well because there is quite a bit of input and
output buffering when decompressing.

The --long-help or man page were not updated yet.
The details of this feature may change.

9dc319eabb xz: Use the self-pipe trick to avoid a race condition with signals.
It is possible that a signal to set user_abort arrives right

may block until another signal arrives, while the wanted
behavior is to make xz clean up and exit as soon as possible.

After this commit, the race condition is avoided with the
input side which already uses non-blocking I/O. The output
side still uses blocking I/O and thus has the race condition.

4a08a6e4c6 xz: Fix use of wrong variable in a fcntl() call.
Due to a wrong variable name, when writing a sparse file
to standard output, *all* file status flags were cleared
(to the extent the operating system allowed it) instead of
only clearing the O_APPEND flag. In practice this worked
fine in the common situations on GNU/Linux, but I didn't
check how it behaved elsewhere.

The original flags were still restored correctly. I still
changed the code to use a separate boolean variable to
indicate when the flags should be restored instead of
relying on a special value in stdout_flags.

b790b435da xz: Fix assertion related to posix_fadvise().
Input file can be a FIFO or something else that doesn't
support posix_fadvise() so don't check the return value
even with an assertion. Nothing bad happens if the call
to posix_fadvise() fails.

84d2da6c9d xz: Check the value of lzma_stream_flags.version in --list.
It is a no-op for now, but if an old xz version is used
together with a newer liblzma that supports something new,
then this check becomes important and will stop the old xz
from trying to parse files that it won't understand.

ebb501ec73 xz: Validate Uncompressed Size from Block Header in list.c.
This affects only "xz -lvv". Normal decompression with xz
already detected if Block Header and Index had mismatched
Uncompressed Size fields. So this just makes "xz -lvv"
show such files as corrupt instead of showing the
Uncompressed Size from Index.

0c0a1947e6 xz: A couple of man page fixes.
Now the interaction of presets and custom filter chains
is described correctly. Earlier it contradicted itself.

Thanks to DevHC who reported these issues on IRC to me
on 2012-12-14.

2fcda89939 xz: Fix interaction between preset and custom filter chains.
There was somewhat illogical behavior when --extreme was
specified and mixed with custom filter chains.

Before this commit, "xz -9 --lzma2 -e" was equivalent
to "xz --lzma2". After it is equivalent to "xz -6e"
(all earlier preset options get forgotten when a custom
filter chain is specified and the default preset is 6
to which -e is applied). I find this less illogical.

This also affects the meaning of "xz -9e --lzma2 -7".
Earlier it was equivalent to "xz -7e" (the -e specified
before a custom filter chain wasn't forgotten). Now it
is "xz -7". Note that "xz -7e" still is the same as "xz -e7".

Hopefully very few cared about this in the first place,
so pretty much no one should even notice this change.

Thanks to Conley Moorhous.

e7b424d267 Make the progress indicator smooth in threaded mode.
This adds lzma_get_progress() to liblzma and takes advantage
of it in xz.

lzma_get_progress() collects progress information from
the thread-specific structures so that fairly accurate
progress information is available to applications. Adding
a new function seemed to be a better way than making the
information directly available in lzma_stream (like total_in
and total_out are) because collecting the information requires
locking mutexes. It's waste of time to do it more often than
the up to date information is actually needed by an application.
