* fixed frametest errorYann Collet2018-05-061-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The error can be reproduced using following command : ./frametest -v -i100000000 -s1659 -t31096808 It's actually a bug in the stream LZ4 API, when starting a new stream and providing a first chunk to complete with size < MINMATCH. In which case, the chunk becomes a dictionary. No hash was generated and stored, but the chunk is accessible as default position 0 points to dictStart, and position 0 is still within MAX_DISTANCE. Then, next attempt to read 32-bits from position 0 fails. The issue would have been mitigated by starting from index 64 KB, effectively eliminating position 0 as too far away. The proper fix is to eliminate such "dictionary" as too small. Which is what this patch does.

|\ \ | |/ |/| lz4.c: refactor the decoding routines
| * lz4.c: fixed the LZ4_decompress_fast_continue caseAlexey Tourbin2018-04-271-2/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The change is very similar to that of the LZ4_decompress_safe_continue case. The only reason a make this a separate change is to ensure that the fuzzer, after it's been enhanced, can detect the flaw in LZ4_decompress_fast_continue, and that the change indeed fixes the flaw.
| * lz4.c: fixed the LZ4_decompress_safe_continue caseAlexey Tourbin2018-04-261-17/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous change broke decoding with a ring buffer. That's because I didn't realize that the "double dictionary mode" was possible, i.e. that the decoding routine can look both at the first part of the dictionary passed as prefix and the second part passed via dictStart+dictSize. So this change introduces the LZ4_decompress_safe_doubleDict helper, which handles this "double dictionary" situation. (This is a bit of a misnomer, there is only one dictionary, but I can't think of a better name, and perhaps the designation is not all too bad.) The helper is used only once, in LZ4_decompress_safe_continue, it should be inlined with LZ4_FORCE_O2_GCC_PPC64LE attached to LZ4_decompress_safe_continue. (Also, in the helper functions, I change the dictStart parameter type to "const void*", to avoid a cast when calling helpers. In the helpers, the upcast to "BYTE*" is still required, for compatibility with C++.) So this fixes the case of LZ4_decompress_safe_continue, and I'm surprised by the fact that the fuzzer is now happy and does not detect a similar problem with LZ4_decompress_fast_continue. So before fixing LZ4_decompress_fast_continue, the next logical step is to enhance the fuzzer.
| * lz4.c: refactor the decoding routinesAlexey Tourbin2018-04-251-53/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that LZ4_decompress_generic is sometimes instantiated with identical set of parameters, or (what's worse) with a subtly different sets of parameters. For example, LZ4_decompress_fast_withPrefix64k is instantiated as follows: return LZ4_decompress_generic(source, dest, 0, originalSize, endOnOutputSize, full, 0, withPrefix64k, (BYTE*)dest - 64 KB, NULL, 64 KB); while the equivalent withPrefix64k call in LZ4_decompress_usingDict_generic passes 0 for the last argument instead of 64 KB. It turns out that there is no difference in this case: if you change 64 KB to 0 KB in LZ4_decompress_fast_withPrefix64k, you get the same binary code. Moreover, because it's been clarified that LZ4_decompress_fast doesn't check match offsets, it is now obvious that both of these fast/withPrefix64k instantiations are simply redundant. Exactly because LZ4_decompress_fast doesn't check offsets, it serves well with any prefixed dictionary. There's a difference, though, with LZ4_decompress_safe_withPrefix64k. It also passes 64 KB as the last argument, and if you change that to 0, as in LZ4_decompress_usingDict_generic, you get a completely different binary code. It seems that passing 0 enables offset checking: const int checkOffset = ((safeDecode) && (dictSize < (int)(64 KB))); However, the resulting code seems to run a bit faster. How come enabling extra checks can make the code run faster? Curiouser and curiouser! This needs extra study. Currently I take the view that the dictSize should be set to non-zero when nothing else will do, i.e. when passing the external dictionary via dictStart. Otherwise, lowPrefix betrays just enough information about the dictionary. * * * Anyway, with this change, I instantiate all the necessary cases as functions with distinctive names, which also take fewer arguments and are therefore less error-prone. I also make the functions non-inline. (The compiler won't inline the functions because they are used more than once. Hence I attach LZ4_FORCE_O2_GCC_PPC64LE to the instances while removing from the callers.) The number of instances is now is reduced from 18 (safe+fast+partial+4*continue+4*prefix+4*dict+2*prefix64+forceExtDict) down to 7 (safe+fast+partial+2*prefix+2*dict). The size of the code is not the only issue here. Separate helper function are much more amenable to profile-guided optimization: it is enough to profile only a few basic functions, while the other less-often used functions, such as LZ4_decompress_*_continue, will benefit automatically.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The simple change from `matchIndex+MAX_DISTANCE < current` towards `current - matchIndex > MAX_DISTANCE` is enough to generate a 10% performance drop under clang. Quite massive. (I missed as my eyes were concentrated on gcc performance at that time). The second version is more robust, because it also survives a situation where `matchIndex > current` due to overflows. The first version requires matchIndex to not overflow. Hence were added `assert()` conditions. The only case where this can happen is with dictCtx compression, in the case where the dictionary context is not initialized before loading the dictionary. So it's enough to always initialize the context while loading the dictionary.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug is a read up to 2 bytes past the end of the buffer. There are three cases for this bug, one for each test case added. * An empty input causes `token = *ip++` to read one byte too far. * A one byte input with `(token >> ML_BITS) == RUN_MASK` causes one extra byte to be read without validation. This could be combined with the first bug to cause 2 extra bytes to be read. * The case pointed out in issue #508, where `ip == iend` at the beginning of the loop after taking the shortcut. Benchmarks show no regressions on clang or gcc-7 on both my mac and devserver. Fixes #508.
