Apparently, even when the assembly file is empty (because
`ZSTD_ENABLE_ASM_X86_64_BMI2` is false), it still is marked as possibly
needing an executable stack and so the whole library is marked as such. This
commit applies a simple patch for this problem by moving the noexecstack
indication outside the macro guard.
This commit builds on #2857.
This commit addresses #2963.
This saves some 1.7Kb in rodata section (x86_64, zstd tool),
while assembler code stays the same except
the type of a few load/extend instructions.
Should not have negative performance implications.
Move portability macros to `lib/common/portability_macros.h`. This file
only contains platform/feature detection (e.g. 0/1 macros). This file is
shared between C and ASM code, so it cannot include any C code.
Rename `HUF_` ASM macros to be `ZSTD_` prefixed, and move to the new
header.
Restrict `ZSTD_ASM_SUPPORTED` to `__GNUC__`, because we need the GAS
assembler.
Finally, only include the ASM code if we are actually going to use it.
This disables it on all Windows platforms, which should resolve the
problem brought up in Issue #2789.
short-tests-0 were silently failing. I think because of the && make clean construction. Switch to ; instead.
Also fix all the test failures that were exposed.
`make all` is failing on CircleCI because it is missing Docker. Move that test
to GitHub actions, and switch the pedantic CircleCI test to `make allmost`.
* When dynamic dispatching to bmi2 add lzcnt and bmi to the
TARGET_ATTRIBUTE.
* Centralize the bmi2 TARGET_ATTRIBUTE definition to
BMI2_TARGET_ATTRIBUTE so we can change it in the future.
* Only enable bmi2 when both bmi1 & bmi2 are supported. There shouldn't
be any cases where bmi2 is supported but bmi1 isn't. But, since we are
using the instruction we should check bmi1 as well.
Putting stack marking into every assembly files is required to indicate
that the stack does not need to be executable.
Executable flag on stack conflicts with some security measures, Systemd
MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes for example.
PR #2784 introduced a bug in the decompressor that caused some valid
inputs to fail to decompress. The bitstream isn't reloaded after the 4X*
loop if the number of elements remaining is small enough, causing us to
read more bits than are available in the bitcontainer.
This was caught by the MSAN fuzzer in OSS-Fuzz because the assembly
implementation isn't used in the MSAN build.

Multiple ZSTD_createDCtx* functions call other (public)
ZSTD_createDCtx* functions, this makes it harder for humans
and compilers to throw out code that is not used.
This farms out the logic into a static function, if a program
only uses a single ZSTD_createDCtx variant, all others can be easily
dropped and the remaining implementation can be specialized.
Commit d7ef97a013b5
("[build] Fix oss-fuzz build with the dataflow sanitizer") broke
build inside Linux-kernel after 'import', as it no longer can
conditionally remove ZSTD_MEMORY_SANITIZER definition from
the #if DEF_A || DEF_B block. This emits -Wundef warning which
can be treated as error.
Split this preprocessor condition into two separate conditions
to fix this.

Switch to a macro `ZSTD_FALLTHROUGH;` instead of a comment. On supported
compilers this uses an attribute, otherwise it becomes a comment.
This is necessary to be compatible with clang's `-Wfall-through`, and
gcc's `-Wfall-through=2` which don't support comments. Without this the
linux build emits a bunch of warnings.
Also add a test to CI to ensure that we don't regress.
the new alignment setting is better for gcc-9 and gcc-10
by about ~+5%.
Unfortunately, it's worse for essentially all other compilers.
Make the new alignment setting conditional to gcc-9+.
changed strategy,
now unconditionally prefetch the first 2 cache lines,
instead of cache lines corresponding to the first and last bytes of the match.
This better corresponds to cpu expectation,
which should auto-prefetch following cachelines on detecting the sequential nature of the read.
This is globally positive, by +5%,
though exact gains depend on compiler (from -2% to +15%).
The only negative counter-example is gcc-9.
pipeline increased from 4 to 8 slots.
This change substantially improves decompression speed when there are long distance offsets.
example with enwik9 compressed at level 22 :
gcc-9 : 947 -> 1039 MB/s
clang-10: 884 -> 946 MB/s
I also checked the "cold dictionary" scenario,
and found a smaller benefit, around ~2%
(measurements are more noisy for this scenario).
Instead of providing a default no-op implementation, check the symbols
for `NULL` before accessing them. Providing a default implementation
doesn't reliably work with dynamic linking. Depending on link order the
default implementations may not be overridden. By skipping the default
implementation, all link order issues are resolved. If the symbols
aren't provided the weak function will be `NULL`.
