In some rare cases, for input data over 32 KB, lzo-rle could encode two
different inputs to the same compressed representation, so that
decompression is then ambiguous (i.e. data may be corrupted - although
zram is not affected because it operates over 4 KB pages).
This modifies the compressor without changing the decompressor or the
bitstream format, such that:
- there is no change to how data produced by the old compressor is
decompressed
- an old decompressor will correctly decode data from the updated
compressor
- performance and compression ratio are not affected
- we avoid introducing a new bitstream format
In testing over 12.8M real-world files totalling 903 GB, three files
were affected by this bug. I also constructed 37M semi-random 64 KB
files totalling 2.27 TB, and saw no affected files. Finally I tested
over files constructed to contain each of the ~1024 possible bad input
sequences; for all of these cases, updated lzo-rle worked correctly.
There is no significant impact to performance or compression ratio.

For very short input data (0 - 1 bytes), lzo-rle was not behaving
correctly. Fix this behaviour and update documentation accordingly.
For zero-length input, lzo v0 outputs an end-of-stream marker only,
which was misinterpreted by lzo-rle as a bitstream version number.
Ensure bitstream versions > 0 require a minimum stream length of 5.
Also fixes a bug in handling the tail for very short inputs when a

Patch series "lib/lzo: run-length encoding support", v5.
Following on from the previous lzo-rle patchset:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/30/972
This patchset contains only the RLE patches, and should be applied on
top of the non-RLE patches ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/5/366 ).
Previously, some questions were raised around the RLE patches. I've
done some additional benchmarking to answer these questions. In short:
- RLE offers significant additional performance (data-dependent)
- I didn't measure any regressions that were clearly outside the noise
One concern with this patchset was around performance - specifically,
measuring RLE impact separately from Matt Sealey's patches (CTZ & fast
copy). I have done some additional benchmarking which I hope clarifies
the benefits of each part of the patchset.
Firstly, I've captured some memory via /dev/fmem from a Chromebook with
many tabs open which is starting to swap, and then split this into 4178
4k pages. I've excluded the all-zero pages (as zram does), and also the
no-zero pages (which won't tell us anything about RLE performance).
This should give a realistic test dataset for zram. What I found was
that the data is VERY bimodal: 44% of pages in this dataset contain 5%
or fewer zeros, and 44% contain over 90% zeros (30% if you include the
no-zero pages). This supports the idea of special-casing zeros in zram.
Next, I've benchmarked four variants of lzo on these pages (on 64-bit
Arm at max frequency): baseline LZO; baseline + Matt Sealey's patches
(aka MS); baseline + RLE only; baseline + MS + RLE. Numbers are for
weighted roundtrip throughput (the weighting reflects that zram does
more compression than decompression).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLtLjRVxgUNuWFOxaGPwJYhl_hMQXpHe/view?usp=sharing
Matt's patches help in all cases for Arm (and no effect on Intel), as
expected.
RLE also behaves as expected: with few zeros present, it makes no
difference; above ~75%, it gives a good improvement (50 - 300 MB/s on
top of the benefit from Matt's patches).
Best performance is seen with both MS and RLE patches.
Finally, I have benchmarked the same dataset on an x86-64 device. Here,
the MS patches make no difference (as expected); RLE helps, similarly as
on Arm. There were no definite regressions; allowing for observational
error, 0.1% (3/4178) of cases had a regression > 1 standard deviation,
of which the largest was 4.6% (1.2 standard deviations). I think this
is probably within the noise.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCUVwmiGD0heEMx5gcVEmLBI4eLaageV/view?usp=sharing
One point to note is that the graphs show RLE appears to help very
slightly with no zeros present! This is because the extra code causes
the clang optimiser to change code layout in a way that happens to have
a significant benefit. Taking baseline LZO and adding a do-nothing line
like "__builtin_prefetch(out_len);" immediately before the "goto next"
has the same effect. So this is a real, but basically spurious effect -
it's small enough not to upset the overall findings.
This patch (of 3):
When using zram, we frequently encounter long runs of zero bytes. This
adds a special case which identifies runs of zeros and encodes them
using run-length encoding.
This is faster for both compression and decompresion. For high-entropy
data which doesn't hit this case, impact is minimal.
Compression ratio is within a few percent in all cases.
This modifies the bitstream in a way which is backwards compatible
(i.e., we can decompress old bitstreams, but old versions of lzo cannot
decompress new bitstreams).

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This fix ensures that we never meet an integer overflow while adding
255 while parsing a variable length encoding. It works differently from
commit 206a81c ("lzo: properly check for overruns") because instead of
ensuring that we don't overrun the input, which is tricky to guarantee
due to many assumptions in the code, it simply checks that the cumulated
number of 255 read cannot overflow by bounding this number.
The MAX_255_COUNT is the maximum number of times we can add 255 to a base
count without overflowing an integer. The multiply will overflow when
multiplying 255 by more than MAXINT/255. The sum will overflow earlier
depending on the base count. Since the base count is taken from a u8
and a few bits, it is safe to assume that it will always be lower than
or equal to 2*255, thus we can always prevent any overflow by accepting
two less 255 steps.
This patch also reduces the CPU overhead and actually increases performance
by 1.1% compared to the initial code, while the previous fix costs 3.1%
(measured on x86_64).
The fix needs to be backported to all currently supported stable kernels.

This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.
Russell King said:
: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.
This patch:
The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:
Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s
So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.
This part contains:
- Makefile routine to support lzo compression
- Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
compressed kernels
- wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
- config dialog for kernel compression

This is a hybrid version of the patch to add the LZO1X compression

are jointly signing off).
The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code
it was based on. Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and
x86_64 with favourable results.
There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4
since its much faster than zlib.
