Subject: [PATCH v2] lib/lz4: explicitly support in-place decompression
Date:   Sun, 22 Nov 2020 11:07:49 +0800
Message-Id: <20201122030749.2698994-1-hsiangkao@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <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] plus only a few bytes remain), 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 observe any strange on arm64/arm/x86 platform before
since most memcpy() would behave in an increasing address order
("copy upwards" [3]) and it's the correct order of in-place
decompression but it really needs an update to memmove() for sure
considering it's an undefined behavior according to the standard
and some unique optimization already exists in the kernel.

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
