2 * Wrapper for decompressing XZ-compressed kernel, initramfs, and initrd
6 * This file has been put into the public domain.
7 * You can do whatever you want with this file.
11 * Important notes about in-place decompression
13 * At least on x86, the kernel is decompressed in place: the compressed data
14 * is placed to the end of the output buffer, and the decompressor overwrites
15 * most of the compressed data. There must be enough safety margin to
16 * guarantee that the write position is always behind the read position.
18 * The safety margin for XZ with LZMA2 or BCJ+LZMA2 is calculated below.
19 * Note that the margin with XZ is bigger than with Deflate (gzip)!
21 * The worst case for in-place decompression is that the beginning of
22 * the file is compressed extremely well, and the rest of the file is
23 * incompressible. Thus, we must look for worst-case expansion when the
24 * compressor is encoding incompressible data.
26 * The structure of the .xz file in case of a compressed kernel is as follows.
27 * Sizes (as bytes) of the fields are in parenthesis.
38 * Normally there is exactly one Block, but let's assume that there are
39 * 2-4 Blocks just in case. Because Stream Header and also Block Header
40 * of the first Block don't make the decompressor produce any uncompressed
41 * data, we can ignore them from our calculations. Block Headers of possible
42 * additional Blocks have to be taken into account still. With these
43 * assumptions, it is safe to assume that the total header overhead is
44 * less than 128 bytes.
46 * Compressed Data contains LZMA2 or BCJ+LZMA2 encoded data. Since BCJ
47 * doesn't change the size of the data, it is enough to calculate the
48 * safety margin for LZMA2.
50 * LZMA2 stores the data in chunks. Each chunk has a header whose size is
51 * a maximum of 6 bytes, but to get round 2^n numbers, let's assume that
52 * the maximum chunk header size is 8 bytes. After the chunk header, there
53 * may be up to 64 KiB of actual payload in the chunk. Often the payload is
54 * quite a bit smaller though; to be safe, let's assume that an average
55 * chunk has only 32 KiB of payload.
57 * The maximum uncompressed size of the payload is 2 MiB. The minimum
58 * uncompressed size of the payload is in practice never less than the
59 * payload size itself. The LZMA2 format would allow uncompressed size
60 * to be less than the payload size, but no sane compressor creates such
61 * files. LZMA2 supports storing incompressible data in uncompressed form,
62 * so there's never a need to create payloads whose uncompressed size is
63 * smaller than the compressed size.
65 * The assumption, that the uncompressed size of the payload is never
66 * smaller than the payload itself, is valid only when talking about
67 * the payload as a whole. It is possible that the payload has parts where
68 * the decompressor consumes more input than it produces output. Calculating
69 * the worst case for this would be tricky. Instead of trying to do that,
70 * let's simply make sure that the decompressor never overwrites any bytes
71 * of the payload which it is currently reading.
73 * Now we have enough information to calculate the safety margin. We need
74 * - 128 bytes for the .xz file format headers;
75 * - 8 bytes per every 32 KiB of uncompressed size (one LZMA2 chunk header
76 * per chunk, each chunk having average payload size of 32 KiB); and
77 * - 64 KiB (biggest possible LZMA2 chunk payload size) to make sure that
78 * the decompressor never overwrites anything from the LZMA2 chunk
79 * payload it is currently reading.
81 * We get the following formula:
83 * safety_margin = 128 + uncompressed_size * 8 / 32768 + 65536
84 * = 128 + (uncompressed_size >> 12) + 65536
86 * For comparison, according to arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c, the
87 * equivalent formula for Deflate is this:
89 * safety_margin = 18 + (uncompressed_size >> 12) + 32768
91 * Thus, when updating Deflate-only in-place kernel decompressor to
92 * support XZ, the fixed overhead has to be increased from 18+32768 bytes
97 * STATIC is defined to "static" if we are being built for kernel
98 * decompression (pre-boot code). <linux/decompress/mm.h> will define
99 * STATIC to empty if it wasn't already defined. Since we will need to
100 * know later if we are being used for kernel decompression, we define
106 #include <linux/decompress/unxz.h>
109 # include <linux/decompress/mm.h>
111 #define XZ_EXTERN STATIC
114 # include <linux/slab.h>
115 # include <linux/xz.h>
118 * Use the internal CRC32 code instead of kernel's CRC32 module, which
119 * is not available in early phase of booting.
121 #define XZ_INTERNAL_CRC32 1
124 * For boot time use, we enable only the BCJ filter of the current
125 * architecture or none if no BCJ filter is available for the architecture.
131 # define XZ_DEC_POWERPC
137 # define XZ_DEC_SPARC
141 * This will get the basic headers so that memeq() and others
144 #include "xz/xz_private.h"
147 * Replace the normal allocation functions with the versions from
148 * <linux/decompress/mm.h>. vfree() needs to support vfree(NULL)
149 * when XZ_DYNALLOC is used, but the pre-boot free() doesn't support it.
150 * Workaround it here because the other decompressors don't need it.
156 #define kmalloc(size, flags) malloc(size)
157 #define kfree(ptr) free(ptr)
158 #define vmalloc(size) malloc(size)
159 #define vfree(ptr) do { if (ptr != NULL) free(ptr); } while (0)
162 * FIXME: Not all basic memory functions are provided in architecture-specific
163 * files (yet). We define our own versions here for now, but this should be
164 * only a temporary solution.
166 * memeq and memzero are not used much and any remotely sane implementation
167 * is fast enough. memcpy/memmove speed matters in multi-call mode, but
168 * the kernel image is decompressed in single-call mode, in which only
169 * memmove speed can matter and only if there is a lot of incompressible data
170 * (LZMA2 stores incompressible chunks in uncompressed form). Thus, the
171 * functions below should just be kept small; it's probably not worth
172 * optimizing for speed.
