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.

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.

2020-05-21Fix the semantics of the super block deduplicationDavid Oberhollenzer
Its purely informational, but make sure other programs don't print out scary messages that imply the data has been ineficiently. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2020-05-04Expose more fine grained control values & flags on the XZ compressorDavid Oberhollenzer
This patch allows external users to fiddle with the XZ compressors compression strength, alignment and other values. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
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.

2020-05-03Fix: 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>
2020-04-22Import 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%.

Among the changes I made after importing are - removed usage of ralloc, Mesa's recursive memory allocator - Replaced ralloc -> malloc ralloc_free -> free rzalloc_array -> calloc - Removed mem_ctx parameters - Added free()s to the appropriate places (valgrind confirms there are no leaks) - removed _mesa_-prefix from function names Fixes: #40 Signed-off-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>
2020-03-19Fix destruction of NULL pointer in xattr reader cleanupDavid Oberhollenzer
This fixes a copy and paste error in the cleanup path, destroying a previously destroyed object again instead of the one being tested for. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-03-19Fix pthread_join check for valid thread handlesDavid Oberhollenzer
On Linux, checking for > 0 worked because pthread_t is internally an integer type. On other platforms (*caugh* Mac OS X *caugh*), it is typedefed to an opaque pointer, causing a warning if used in an integer relational comparison. The intended use is to allow the generic cleanup function to be used in the error path of the block processor creation function, while preventing pthread_join being called on threads that haven't been created at all. Since they are calloc'ed to 0, testing for non-zero values should suffice in both cases. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2020-03-05Change the signature of sqfs_compressor_create to return an error codeDavid Oberhollenzer
Make sure the function has a way of telling the caller *why* it failed. This way, the function can convey whether it had an internal error, an allocation failure, whether the arguments are totaly nonsensical, or simply that the compressor *or specific configuration* is not supported.

2020-03-04Cleanup: match xattr reader API closer to id table APIDavid Oberhollenzer
Instead of creating everything in the "create" function, cleanup and create/initialize stuff in a "load" function. This allows the xattr reader to be reset/re-used and adds the benefit of not having to lug around references to the super block, compressor and file (altough the later two are hidden inside the meta reader).

2020-03-04Add a generic copying mechanism to sqfs_object_tDavid Oberhollenzer
This patch adds a deep-copy callback to sqfs_object_t and removes the copying mechanism from sqfs_compressor_t. This is also interesting for other types. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2020-02-23Turn file inode management completely over to the block processorDavid Oberhollenzer
If the block processor allocates and dynamically resizes inodes on the fly, we can add data indefinitely without knowing the size of the file ahead of time. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-02-23Unify the payload counters in the sqfs_inode_generic_tDavid Oberhollenzer
Instead of having seperate counters for blocks, dir index bytes and having to fiddle out the link target size, simply use a single value that stores the number of payload bytes used. A seperate "payload bytes available" is used for dynamically growing inodes during processing. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2020-02-22Cleanup block processor: Merge destructors for Windows & pthreadsDavid Oberhollenzer
Since the merged destructor checks if the objects it destroys were actually initialized, the pthread implementation can also replace its error path cleanup with simply calling the destructor. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-02-22Add a seperate sqfs_block_processor_sync functionDavid Oberhollenzer
This function waits for all pending blocks to be written to disk, but doesn't flush the fragment block, so processing can continue afterwards as if nothing happened. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-02-21Cleanup: move utilities back out of libsquashfsDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit removes the allocation helpers and string table functions out of libsquashfs back into a "libutil.a". The problem of libsquashfs exporting stuff that it shouldn't is resolved by retaining the internal attributes and directly adding the source to libsquashfs instead of trying to somehow link against libutil.la.

2020-02-15Move block block accounting to the other end of the block pipelineDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit moves all of the fragment/block accounting in the block processor over to the writing end of the pipeline. In order to do this, the sparse blocks are allowed to bubble through the pipeline. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-02-15Cleanup: block processor: move init/cleanup functions into implemenationsDavid Oberhollenzer
Again, the generic init/cleanup functions do way too many things that are specific to the thread pool implementation. Thanks to the splitting up of the block processor, they also have become quite trivial. This commit moves those functions into their respective implementations, allowing even further simplificiation.

2020-02-12Use a hash table for fragment lookup instead of linear searchDavid Oberhollenzer
Profiling on a sample filesystem determined that fragment deduplication lookups rank third place directly after crc32 and the actual compression. By using a hash table instead of linear search, this time can be reduced drastically. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-02-12Implement a more explicit object systemDavid Oberhollenzer
Make every dynamically allocated, opaque data structure inherit from a common sqfs_object_t structure with common entry points (e.g. destroy). This removes tons of public API functions and replaces them with a simple sqfs_destroy instead. If semantics of the (until now implicit) object system need to be extended, it can be much more conveniantely done this way. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
