2016-04-13lib: lz4: cleanup unaligned access efficiency detectionRui Salvaterra1-3/+1
These identifiers are bogus. The interested architectures should define HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS whenever relevant to do so. If this isn't true for some arch, it should be fixed in the arch definition.

2016-04-13lib: lz4: fixed zram with lz4 on big endian machinesRui Salvaterra1-9/+12
Based on Sergey's test patch [1], this fixes zram with lz4 compression on big endian cpus. Note that the 64-bit preprocessor test is not a cleanup, it's part of the fix, since those identifiers are bogus (for example, __ppc64__ isn't defined anywhere else in the kernel, which means we'd fall into the 32-bit definitions on ppc64). Tested on ppc64 with no regression on x86_64.

2015-03-25lib/lz4: Pull out constant tablesRasmus Villemoes1-11/+7
There's no reason to allocate the dec{32,64}table on the stack; it just wastes a bunch of instructions setting them up and, of course, also consumes quite a bit of stack. Using size_t for such small integers is a little excessive. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/built-in.o lib/built-in.o add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 1304/-1548 (-244) function old new delta lz4_decompress_unknownoutputsize 55 718 +663 lz4_decompress 55 632 +577 dec64table - 32 +32 dec32table - 32 +32 lz4_uncompress 747 - -747 lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize 801 - -801 The now inlined lz4_uncompress functions used to have a stack footprint of 176 bytes (according to -fstack-usage); their inlinees have increased their stack use from 32 bytes to 48 and 80 bytes, respectively.

2014-07-03lz4: add overrun checks to lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize()Greg Kroah-Hartman1-1/+5
Jan points out that I forgot to make the needed fixes to the lz4_uncompress_unknownoutputsize() function to mirror the changes done in lz4_decompress() with regards to potential pointer overflows. The only in-kernel user of this function is the zram code, which only takes data from a valid compressed buffer that it made itself, so it's not a big issue. But due to external kernel modules using this function, it's better to be safe here. Reported-by: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> Cc: "Don A.

2014-06-27lz4: fix another possible overrunGreg Kroah-Hartman1-1/+3
There is one other possible overrun in the lz4 code as implemented by Linux at this point in time (which differs from the upstream lz4 codebase, but will get synced at in a future kernel release.) As pointed out by Don, we also need to check the overflow in the data itself. While we are at it, replace the odd error return value with just a "simple" -1 value as the return value is never used for anything other than a basic "did this work or not" check.

2013-07-09lib: add lz4 compressor moduleChanho Min4-2/+1048
This patchset is for supporting LZ4 compression and the crypto API using it. As shown below, the size of data is a little bit bigger but compressing speed is faster under the enabled unaligned memory access. We can use lz4 de/compression through crypto API as well. Also, It will be useful for another potential user of lz4 compression. lz4 Compression Benchmark: Compiler: ARM gcc 4.6.4 ARMv7, 1 GHz based board Kernel: linux 3.4 Uncompressed data Size: 101 MB Compressed Size compression Speed LZO 72.1MB 32.1MB/s, 33.0MB/s(UA) LZ4 75.1MB 30.4MB/s, 35.9MB/s(UA) LZ4HC 59.8MB 2.4MB/s, 2.5MB/s(UA) - UA: Unaligned memory Access support - Latest patch set for LZO applied This patch: Add support for LZ4 compression in the Linux Kernel.

LZ4 homepage : http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/p/lz4.html LZ4 source repository : http://code.google.com/p/lz4/ svn revision : r90 Two APIs are added: lz4_compress() support basic lz4 compression whereas lz4hc_compress() support high compression or CPU performance get lower but compression ratio get higher. Also, we require the pre-allocated working memory with the defined size and destination buffer must be allocated with the size of lz4_compressbound.

2013-07-09decompressor: add LZ4 decompressor moduleKyungsik Lee2-0/+420
Add support for LZ4 decompression in the Linux Kernel. LZ4 Decompression APIs for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet. Benchmark Results(PATCH v3) Compiler: Linaro ARM gcc 4.6.2 1. ARMv7, 1.5GHz based board Kernel: linux 3.4 Uncompressed Kernel Size: 14MB Compressed Size Decompression Speed LZO 6.7MB 20.1MB/s, 25.2MB/s(UA) LZ4 7.3MB 29.1MB/s, 45.6MB/s(UA) 2.

LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely fast decoder [1]. But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2]. Russell King said that we should have: - one decompressor which is the fastest - one decompressor for the highest compression ratio - one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip) If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly that: replace it. The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the fastest decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be small" compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].
