Subject: [PATCH] lib/lz4: explicitly support in-place decompression
Date:   Sun, 22 Nov 2020 03:10:24 +0800
Message-Id: <20201121191024.2631523-1-hsiangkao@redhat.com>
Precedence: bulk

LZ4 final literal copy could be overlapped when doing
in-place decompression, so it's unsafe to just use memcpy()
on an optimized memcpy approach but memmove() instead.

Upstream LZ4 has updated this years ago [1] (and the impact
is non-sensible [2]), this commit just synchronizes LZ4
upstream code to the kernel side as well.

It can be observed as EROFS in-place decompression failure
on specific files when X86_FEATURE_ERMS is unsupported,
memcpy() optimization of commit 59daa706fbec ("x86, mem:
Optimize memcpy by avoiding memory false dependece") will
be enabled then.

Currently most modern x86-CPUs support ERMS, these CPUs
just use "rep movsb" approach so no problem at all. However,
it can still be verified with forcely disabling ERMS feature...

arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:
        ALTERNATIVE_2 "jmp memcpy_orig", "", X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, \
-                     "jmp memcpy_erms", X86_FEATURE_ERMS
+                     "jmp memcpy_orig", X86_FEATURE_ERMS

We didn't observed any strange on arm64/arm platform before,
but it really needs an update for sure considering this
unsafe overlapping memcpy() behavior for LZ4 in-place
decompression.

Hi Andrew,

Could you kindly consider picking this patch up, although
the impact is EROFS but it touchs in-kernel lz4 library
anyway...

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
