2020-05-29Turn the sqfs_block_writer_t into an interfaceDavid Oberhollenzer
This way, everything that could be done through the hooks (and more) can be done by simply providign a custom implementation. The result is a lot clener that the previous hook based version. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-05-29cleanup: libsqfs: eliminate block writer statisticsDavid Oberhollenzer
- the "bytes submitted" can be moved over to the block processor - the number of blocks submitted are already there (implcitily, by adding the data block count to the fragment block count) - actual data bytes written can be computed from the super block - the remaining block count can be changed to simple counter that can be obtained through a function.

2020-05-26sqfsdiff: extract compressor options, but don't fail on errorDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit modifies sqfsdiff to extract the compressor options from the squashfs image and store them in a compressor configuration if possible. The failure path is modified to *not* burst into flames on error, because those options are not required by any compressor to read data from the disk and pretty much every vendor modifed SquashFS has messed with those to the point that they cannot be propperly decoded (or the flag is set and there are no options).

2020-05-24Minor fixes/cleanups in the block processorDavid Oberhollenzer
- Move the inode modifications out of do_block. The inode may be reallocated in parallel by the process_completed_block function, so it is not safe to store the fragment location in the do_block function which is used from the worker threads. - Move the accounting of fragment blocks to the process_completed_block function.

2020-05-24Cleanup: split the block processor common.c againDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit breaks the common code up again by moving the data submission code to a separate file, making both a little bit more readable. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-05-24block processor: promote fragments to fragment blocksDavid Oberhollenzer
Instead of [potentially] allocating a new fragment block, take an existing fragment and promote it to the fragmenet block. This saves as a potential block allocation and a memcpy of the initial data. Also it *definitely* removes block allocation from the backend path of the block processor. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-05-23block processor: move the block consolidation to the worker threadDavid Oberhollenzer
Instead of merging fragments into the fragment block inside the process_completed_fragment function, store a linked list of fragments in the fragment block and do the actual merging (several memcpy calls totaling of up to 1M of data in worst case) in the worker thread instead of the locked, serial path. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-05-23block processor: recycle blocks to reduce allocation pressureDavid Oberhollenzer
Instead of freeing/allocating blocks all the time in the locked, serial path, use a free list to "recycle" blocks. Once a block is no longer used, throw it onto the free list. If a new block is, needed try to get one from the free list before calling malloc. After a few iterations, the block processor should stop allocating new blocks and only re-use the ones it already has. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-05-23block processor: don't zero initialize the block payload areaDavid Oberhollenzer
In the block processor, the payload area is only accessed up to the indicated size. Even the part that is accessed is initialized by copying data into the block before increasing the size, so there is no real point in zero-initializing hundres of kilobytes if not megabytes of payload area, especially since this is done in the locked, serial path of the block processor.

2020-05-21Fix: zstd: actually set the compression level from the optionsDavid Oberhollenzer
In the zstd compressor, the compression level from the configuration structure wasn't used at all. Instead, the zstd compressor was told to use level 0 and compressor options with that parameter were written to disk. This commit makes sure the level parameter is propperly initialized.

2020-05-18libtar: fix size computation of PAX line lengthDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit attempts to fix the following two problems: - The number of digits computation returning an off-by-one result if the number is 10, or the resulting digit string starts with "10". This results in one-too-many padding bytes, corrupting the rest of the archive since the headers now don't start at multiples of 512 anymore. - Adding the line length prefix affects the line length (duh). If it grows far enough to require more digits, the result is a similar problem. This is a converging series that we need to compute the limit of. Unit tests for this still need to be added. Or maybe I can convince a bored undergrad student to provide an induction proof. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2020-05-07Fix compilation on GCC4 and belowBrandon Maier
When compiling with GCC4 the following error occurs. > lib/util/rbtree.c:140: undefined reference to `__builtin_uaddl_overflow' This is because __builtin_uaddl_overflow() and the other __builtin_u{add,mul}{,l,ll}_overflow() functions are only defined in GNUC < 5 for Clang. When using GCC4 and below they are not defined. Since the SZ_ADD_OV and SZ_MUL_OV are only used to check 'size_t' type values. And overflow on add and multiply of unsigned types is defined behaviour (C Standard 6.2.5 paragraph 9). It's simple to write overflow functions for this specific case. These are based on the overflow wrappers from the SEI CERT C Standard INT30-C. [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html Signed-off-by: Brandon Maier <brandon.maier@rockwellcollins.com>

2020-05-04Fix: propperly set the last block flag if fragments are disabledDavid Oberhollenzer
If a file consisting of multiple blocks is produced, the last block is short and the don't fragment flag is set, the last block flag has to be set on the block when we flush it, so the processing pipeline does it's job correctly.

2020-05-03Add a simple test script for the gensquashfs packdir + allroot use caseDavid Oberhollenzer
Since this is a fairly common use case, it deserves a simple test case to check out that e.g. option processing hasn't been botched up (again). As input directory, the licenses directory is used as it contains no intermediate build output and should change fairly infrequently. The test is enabled irregardless of the corpora-test option.

2020-05-03Fix: use 0644 as default permissions when creating filesDavid Oberhollenzer
Until now, when packing or unpacking a SquashFS image, files where created with paranoid permissions (i.e. 0600). The rational behind this was that otherwise, the tools may inadvertently expose secrets, e.g. if a root user packs files that that aren't world readable, such as the /etc/shadows file, but the packed SquashFS image is, we have accidentally leaked this file to other users that can access the newly created SquashFS image. The same line of reasoning also applies when unpacking files. Unfortunately, this breaks a list of other, more common standard use cases (e.g. a build server where the an image is built by a deamon running as user X but then has to be accessed by another deamon running as Y). This commit changes to a more standard approach of using permissive file permissions by default and asking paranoid users to simply use a paranoid umask. For tar2sqfs & gensquashfs this simply means chaning the default permissions in the libsquashfs file implementation. For rdsquashfs on the other hand there is still the use case where the unpacked files get the permissions from the [secret] image, so setting a strict umask is not applicable and changing to permissive file mode leaks something. For this case a second code path needs to be added that derives the permissions from the ones in the image. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2020-04-27Cleanup/fix: gensquashfs: split directory scanning from xattr scanningDavid Oberhollenzer
On the one hand, this commit cleanes the code a bit by splitting the "scan directory contents" code from the "scan xattrs from directory contents" and moving the later in a seperate file. On the other hand, the xattr scanning is now done *after* the fstree is post processed, which includes sorting it. This way, the xattrs are always added in a deterministic, reproducible order.

2020-04-27Enable uint128_t pathMatt Turner
I forgot to enable this when I copied it over from Mesa. Mesa's meson configuration system checks that a C program using the uint128_t type compiles, but I think this is likely unnecessary. Simply check the macro that clang and gcc define. This cuts the .text size of hash_table.o by 160 bytes or about 4% on my system. Signed-off-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>
2020-04-27gensquashfs: Add options to globally override UID/GID valuesDavid Oberhollenzer
A common use case for mksquashfs is to simply pack a directory and set a magic option to force all user/group IDs to root. This commit adds similar options to gensquashfs to maek it better suited as a direct replacement for packing an input directory. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2020-04-27Cleanup directory structure of the binary programsDavid Oberhollenzer
Instead of having the binary programs in randomly named subdirectories, move all of them to a "bin" subdirectory, similar to the utility libraries that have subdirectories within "lib" and give the subdirectories the propper names (e.g. have gensquashfs source in a directory *actually* named "gensquashfs").

2020-04-22Import and use Mesa's hash tableMatt Turner
With `perf record`/`perf report` I saw that 30% of the time was spent in `sqfs_frag_table_find_tail_end` with tar2sqfs for a tarball containing the Gentoo ebuild repository (many thousands of small files). The reason was the bucketing hash table in frag_table.c: too many elements in too few buckets meant lots of walking over the linked lists. This patch replaces that hash table with the hash table implementation from Mesa. Its implementation is more complex (is is an open-addressing, linear-reprobing) hash table, but it is much better suited for the task. On my 4c/8t Skylake, the time to run tar2sqfs drops from 7.5s to less than 3s. CPU usage increases from ~207% to ~356%, presumably indicating an increase in available parallelism due to the removal of the hash table as a bottleneck. The `perf report` profile with this patch shows that the time spent in `sqfs_frag_table_find_tail_end` has dropped from ~30% to 0.01%.

2020-04-22Skip PAX global headersDavid Oberhollenzer
Tar archives can contain set two kinds of PAX headers: - local headers that modify the attributes of the next file - global headers that set defaults for all files The later is used "... not widely used", according to tar(5) and has been deliberately not implemented. Some programs (e.g. git-archive) *do* generate them (in the case of git, it stores the commit hash). This commit adds a code path that skips a PAX global header entirely and resumes tar parsing, instead of erroneusly reporting it as an entry.

2020-04-17Remove some configure time sizeof checksDavid Oberhollenzer
In libtar, the sizeof time_t checked when trying to store a time value. It is pointless using the preprocessor here, as we can simply do an if (sizeof(time_t) < ...) check and the compiler will take care optimizing away one or the other branch. After changing the libtar check and the corresponding unit tests, the sizeof check can be removed from configure.ac, along with other unused sizeof checks.
