lib: zstd: export API needed for dictionary support
Patch series "zram: introduce custom comp backends API", v7. This series introduces support for run-time compression algorithms tuning, so users, for instance, can adjust compression/acceleration levels and provide pre-trained compression/decompression dictionaries which certain algorithms support. At this point we stop supporting (old/deprecated) comp API. We may add new acomp API support in the future, but before that zram needs to undergo some major rework (we are not ready for async compression). Some benchmarks for reference (look at column #2) *** init zstd /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750659072 504622188 514355200 0 514355200 1 0 34204 34204 *** init zstd dict=/home/ss/zstd-dict-amd64 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750650880 465908890 475398144 0 475398144 1 0 34185 34185 *** init zstd level=8 dict=/home/ss/zstd-dict-amd64 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750654976 430803319 439873536 0 439873536 1 0 34185 34185 *** init lz4 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750646784 664266564 677060608 0 677060608 1 0 34288 34288 *** init lz4 dict=/home/ss/lz4-dict-amd64 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750650880 619990300 632102912 0 632102912 1 0 34278 34278 *** init lz4hc /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750630400 609023822 621232128 0 621232128 1 0 34288 34288 *** init lz4hc dict=/home/ss/lz4-dict-amd64 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750659072 505133172 515231744 0 515231744 1 0 34278 34278 Recompress init zram zstd (prio=0), zstd level=5 (prio 1), zstd with dict (prio 2) *** zstd /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750982656 504630584 514269184 0 514269184 1 0 34204 34204 *** idle recompress priority=1 (zstd level=5) /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750982656 488645601 525438976 0 514269184 1 0 34204 34204 *** idle recompress priority=2 (zstd dict) /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750982656 460869640 517914624 0 514269184 1 0 34185 34204 This patch (of 24): We need to export a number of API functions that enable advanced zstd usage - C/D dictionaries, dictionaries sharing between contexts, etc. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240902105656.1383858-1-senozhatsky@chromium.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240902105656.1383858-2-senozhatsky@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Cc: Nick Terrell <terrelln@fb.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

lib: zstd: Upgrade to latest upstream zstd version 1.4.10
Upgrade to the latest upstream zstd version 1.4.10. This patch is 100% generated from upstream zstd commit 20821a46f412 [0]. This patch is very large because it is transitioning from the custom kernel zstd to using upstream directly. The new zstd follows upstreams file structure which is different. Future update patches will be much smaller because they will only contain the changes from one upstream zstd release. As an aid for review I've created a commit [1] that shows the diff between upstream zstd as-is (which doesn't compile), and the zstd code imported in this patch. The verion of zstd in this patch is generated from upstream with changes applied by automation to replace upstreams libc dependencies, remove unnecessary portability macros, replace `/**` comments with `/*` comments, and use the kernel's xxhash instead of bundling it. The benefits of this patch are as follows: 1. Using upstream directly with automated script to generate kernel code. This allows us to update the kernel every upstream release, so the kernel gets the latest bug fixes and performance improvements, and doesn't get 3 years out of date again. The automation and the translated code are tested every upstream commit to ensure it continues to work. 2. Upgrades from a custom zstd based on 1.3.1 to 1.4.10, getting 3 years of performance improvements and bug fixes. On x86_64 I've measured 15% faster BtrFS and SquashFS decompression+read speeds, 35% faster kernel decompression, and 30% faster ZRAM decompression+read speeds. 3. Zstd-1.4.10 supports negative compression levels, which allow zstd to match or subsume lzo's performance. 4. Maintains the same kernel-specific wrapper API, so no callers have to be modified with zstd version updates. One concern that was brought up was stack usage. Upstream zstd had already removed most of its heavy stack usage functions, but I just removed the last functions that allocate arrays on the stack. I've measured the high water mark for both compression and decompression before and after this patch. Decompression is approximately neutral, using about 1.2KB of stack space. Compression levels up to 3 regressed from 1.4KB -> 1.6KB, and higher compression levels regressed from 1.5KB -> 2KB. We've added unit tests upstream to prevent further regression. I believe that this is a reasonable increase, and if it does end up causing problems, this commit can be cleanly reverted, because it only touches zstd. I chose the bulk update instead of replaying upstream commits because there have been ~3500 upstream commits since the 1.3.1 release, zstd wasn't ready to be used in the kernel as-is before a month ago, and not all upstream zstd commits build. The bulk update preserves bisectablity because bugs can be bisected to the zstd version update. At that point the update can be reverted, and we can work with upstream to find and fix the bug. Note that upstream zstd release 1.4.10 doesn't exist yet. I have cut a staging branch at 20821a46f412 [0] and will apply any changes requested to the staging branch. Once we're ready to merge this update I will cut a zstd release at the commit we merge, so we have a known zstd release in the kernel. The implementation of the kernel API is contained in zstd_compress_module.c and zstd_decompress_module.c. [0] |
