tests/playTests.sh uses 'head -c' in a couple of tests to truncate the
last byte of a file. The '-c' option is non-portable (not in POSIX).
Instead use a wrapper around dd (truncateLastByte).

OpenBSD's port building infrastructure is able to build in a privilege
separated mode. It uses a privilege drop model. Regression tests fail in
this mode as xz/lzma is unable to set file group and errors out with:
xz: tmp.xz: Cannot set the file group: Operation not permitted
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:307: zstd-playTests] Error 2
Actually it is not a xz/lzma error but a warning causing zstd's
regression test to fail. Proposed fix is to have xz/lzma not set the
exit status to 2 even if a condition worth a warning was detected (-Q
flag).
https://github.com/facebook/zstd/pull/1124 fixes an issue with GNU/Hurd
being unable to write to /dev/zero. Implemented fix is writing to
/dev/random instead.
On OpenBSD a regular user is unable to write to /dev/random because of
permissions set on this device. Result is failing a regression test.
Proposed solution should work for all platforms.
OpenBSD uses md5 instead of md5sum, and has no device called full.
With this patch, make check runs until #1088. With the assumption made
in the issue make check runs succesfully.
Summary:
Allocate a single input buffer large enough to house each job, as well as
enough space for the IO thread to write 2 extra buffers. One goes in the
`POOL` queue, and one to fill, and then block on a full `POOL` queue.
Since we can't overlap with the prefix, we allocate space for 3 extra
input buffers.
Test Plan:
* CI
* With and without ASAN/UBSAN run zstdmt with different number of threads
on two large binaries, and verify that their checksums match.
* Test on the tip of the zstdmt ldm integration.

+ fixed a mistake in `lz4` symlink support :
lz4 utility doesn't remove source files by default (like zstd, but unlike gzip).
The symlink must behave the same.
we want the dictionary table to be fully sorted,
not just lazily filled.
Dictionary loading is a bit more intensive,
but it saves cpu cycles for match search during compression.
zstd streaming API was adding a null-block at end of frame for small input.
Reason is : on small input, a single block is enough.
ZSTD_CStream would size its input buffer to expect a single block of this size,
automatically triggering a flush on reaching this size.
Unfortunately, that last byte was generally received before the "end" directive (at least in `fileio`).
The later "end" directive would force the creation of a 3-bytes last block to indicate end of frame.
The solution is to not flush automatically, which is btw the expected behavior.
It happens in this case because blocksize is defined with exactly the same size as input.
Just adding one-byte is enough to stop triggering the automatic flush.
I initially looked at another solution, solving the problem directly in the compression context.
But it felt awkward.
Now, the underlying compression API `ZSTD_compressContinue()` would take the decision the close a frame
on reaching its expected end (`pledgedSrcSize`).
This feels awkward, a responsability over-reach, beyond the definition of this API.
ZSTD_compressContinue() is clearly documented as a guaranteed flush,
with ZSTD_compressEnd() generating a guaranteed end.
I faced similar issue when trying to port a similar mechanism at the higher streaming layer.
Having ZSTD_CStream end a frame automatically on reaching `pledgedSrcSize` can surprise the caller,
since it did not explicitly requested an end of frame.
The only sensible action remaining after that is to end the frame with no additional input.
This adds additional logic in the ZSTD_CStream state to check this condition.
Plus some potential confusion on the meaning of ZSTD_endStream() with no additional input (ending confirmation ? new 0-size frame ?)
In the end, just enlarging input buffer by 1 byte feels the least intrusive change.
It's also a contract remaining inside the streaming layer, so the logic is contained in this part of the code.
The patch also introduces a new test checking that size of small frame is as expected, without additional 3-bytes null block.
- building cli from /tests preserves potential flags in MOREFLAGS (such as asan/usan)
- MT dictionary tests check for MT capability (MT is not enabled by default for zstd32)
