Subject: [PATCH 0/9] Update to zstd-1.4.6

From: Nick Terrell <[email protected]>

This patchset upgrades the zstd library to the latest upstream release. The
current zstd version in the kernel is a modified version of upstream zstd-1.3.1.
At the time it was integrated, zstd wasn't ready to be used in the kernel as-is.
But, it is now possible to use upstream zstd directly in the kernel.

I have not yet release zstd-1.4.6 upstream. I want the zstd version in the kernel
to match up with a known upstream release, so we know exactly what code is
running. Whenever this patchset is ready for merge, I will cut a release at the
upstream commit that gets merged. This should not be necessary for future
releases.

The kernel zstd library is automatically generated from upstream zstd. A script
makes the necessary changes and imports it into the kernel. The changes are:

1. Replace all libc dependencies with kernel replacements and rewrite includes.
2. Remove unncessary portability macros like: #if defined(_MSC_VER).
3. Use the kernel xxhash instead of bundling it.

This automation gets tested every commit by upstream's continuous integration.
When we cut a new zstd release, we will submit a patch to the kernel to update
the zstd version in the kernel.

I've updated zstd to upstream with one big patch because every commit must build,
so that precludes partial updates. Since the commit is 100% generated, I hope the
review burden is lightened. I considered replaying upstream commits, but that is
not possible because there have been ~3500 upstream commits since the last zstd
import, and the commits don't all build individually. The bulk update preserves
bisectablity because bugs can be bisected to the zstd version update. At that
point the update can be reverted, and we can work with upstream to find and fix
the bug. After this big switch in how the kernel consumes zstd, future patches
will be smaller, because they will only have one upstream release worth of
changes each.

This patchset comes in 3 parts:
1. The first 2 patches prepare for the zstd upgrade. The first patch adds a
compatibility wrapper so zstd can be upgraded without modifying any callers.
The second patch adds an indirection for the lib/decompress_unzstd.c including
of all decompression source files.
2. Import zstd-1.4.6. This patch is completely generated from upstream using
automated tooling.
3. Update all callers to the zstd-1.4.6 API then delete the compatibility
wrapper.

I tested every caller of zstd on x86_64. I tested both after the 1.4.6 upgrade
using the compatibility wrapper, and after the final patch in this series. I had
problems with F2FS, where I had file truncation both before and after this
series, so I would appreciate help testing it. All other callers were good.

I tested kernel and initramfs decompression in i386 and arm.

I ran benchmarks to compare the current zstd in the kernel with zstd-1.4.6.
I benchmarked on x86_64 using QEMU with KVM enabled on an Intel i9-9900k.
I found:
* BtrFS zstd compression at levels 1 and 3 is 5% faster
* BtrFS zstd decompression+read is 15% faster
* SquashFS zstd decompression+read is 15% faster
* ZRAM decompression+read is 30% faster
* Kernel zstd decompression is 35% faster
* Initramfs zstd decompression+build is 5% faster

The latest zstd also offers bug fixes and a 1 KB reduction in stack uage during
compression.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to ease the way for these
patches. I think it is important because it gets large performance improvements,
contains bug fixes, and is switching to a more maintainable model of consuming
upstream zstd directly, making it easy to keep up to date.

Best,
Nick Terrell

Subject: [PATCH 1/9] lib: zstd: Add zstd compatibility wrapper

From: Nick Terrell <[email protected]>

Adds zstd_compat.h which provides the necessary functions from the
current zstd.h API. It is only active for zstd versions 1.4.6 and newer.
That means it is disabled currently, but will become active when a later
patch in this series updates the zstd library in the kernel to 1.4.6.

This header allows the zstd upgrade to 1.4.6 without changing any
callers, since they all include zstd through the compatibility wrapper.
Later patches in this series transition each caller away from the
compatibility wrapper. After all the callers have been transitioned away
from the compatibility wrapper, the final patch in this series deletes
it.

Subject: [PATCH 2/9] lib: zstd: Add decompress_sources.h for decompress_unzstd

From: Nick Terrell <[email protected]>

Adds decompress_sources.h which includes every .c file necessary for
zstd decompression. This is used in decompress_unzstd.c so the internal
structure of the library isn't exposed.

This allows us to upgrade the zstd library version without modifying any
callers. Instead we just need to update decompress_sources.h.

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] f2fs: zstd: Switch to the zstd-1.4.6 API

From: Nick Terrell <[email protected]>

Move away from the compatibility wrapper to the zstd-1.4.6 API. This
code is more efficient because it uses the single-pass API instead of
the streaming API. The streaming API is not necessary because the whole
input and output buffers are available. This saves memory because we
don't need to allocate a buffer for the window. It is also more
efficient because it saves unnecessary memcpy calls.

I've had problems testing this code because I see data truncation before
and after this patchset. Help testing this patch would be much
appreciated.

Seriously, we do not care elsewhere. Why would zlib be any different?

I think you are the asshole here by ignoring the practices we are using
elsewhere and think your employers pet project is somehow special. It
is not, and claiming so is everything but constructive.

Hi Christoph,

It’s not completely clear what you’re asking for here. If the API
matches what’s in zstd-1.4.6, that seems like a reasonable way to
label it. That’s what the upstream is for this code.

I’m also not sure why we’re taking extra time to shit on the zstd
userspace package. Can we please be constructive or at least
actionable?

I can't argue with that.

Zstd would not be the first part of the kernel to
come from somewhere else, and have wrappers when
it gets integrated into the kernel. There certainly
is precedence there.

It would be interesting to know what Christoph's
preference is.

Yes, I think kernel wrappers would be a pretty sensible step forward.
That also avoid the need to do strange upgrades to a new version,
and instead we can just change APIs on a as-needed basis.

When we add wrappers, we end up creating a kernel specific API that
doesn’t match the upstream zstd docs, and it doesn’t leverage as
much of the zstd fuzzing and testing.

So we’re actually making kernel zstd slightly less usable in hopes
that our kernel specific part of the API is familiar enough to us that
it makes zstd more usable. There’s no way to compare the two until
the wrappers are done, but given the code today I’d prefer that we
focus on making it really easy to track upstream. I really understand
Christoph’s side here, but I’d rather ride a camel with the group
than go it alone.

I’d also much rather spend time on any problems where the structure of
the zstd APIs don’t fit the kernel’s needs. The btrfs streaming
compression/decompression looks pretty clean to me, but I think Johannes
mentioned some possibilities to improve things for zswap (optimizations
for page-at-atime). If there are places where the zstd memory
management or error handling don’t fit naturally into the kernel, that
would also be higher on my list.

Fixing those are probably going to be much easier if we’re close to
the zstd upstream, again so that we can leverage testing and long term
code maintenance done there.

The goal of having it in a separate header is so the 3rd patch that actually
updates zstd can be 100% automatically generated. I didn’t want to mix
a small amount of edits into a large generated patch, because that would
be easy to miss.
