[PATCH] lz4: fix decompressor on big-endian powerpc

Booting an lz4-compressed kernel image fails on our powerpc board with
-EPROTONOSUPPORT. Adding a bit of debug prints, we get
magic: 0x184d2204
flags: 0x64
reserved0: 1
has_content_checksum: 1
has_content_size: 0
has_block_checksum: 0
independent_blocks: 1
version: 0
block_descriptor: 70
reserved1: 7
max_block_size: 0
reserved2: 0
So the magic is ok, but the version check fails, also some reserved
bits are apparently set. But that's because the code interprets the
"flags" and "block_descriptor" bytes wrongly:
Using bit-fields to access individual bits of an "on the wire" format
is not portable, not even when restricted to the C flavour implemented
by gcc. Quoting the gcc manual:
* 'The order of allocation of bit-fields within a unit (C90 6.5.2.1,
C99 and C11 6.7.2.1).'
Determined by ABI.
and indeed, the PPC Processor ABI supplement says
* Bit-fields are allocated from right to left (least to most
significant) on Little-Endian implementations and from left to
right (most to least significant) on Big-Endian implementations.
I'm a bit puzzled about the github.com/Cyan4973/lz4
reference. Cyan4973 is Yann Collet, the author of lz4, and nowadays at
least that github url redirects to the upstream repo,
github.com/lz4/lz4. Grepping through all available tags and branches
there, the identifiers "has_content_checksum" and "lz4_frame_header" have
never appeared anywhere in the source (and he uses camelCase).
In any case, the upstream code at least now uses explicit shifts and
masks for encoding/decoding:
/* FLG Byte */
*dstPtr++ = (BYTE)(((1 & _2BITS) << 6) /* Version('01') */
+ ((cctxPtr->prefs.frameInfo.blockMode & _1BIT ) << 5)
+ ((cctxPtr->prefs.frameInfo.blockChecksumFlag & _1BIT ) << 4)
+ ((unsigned)(cctxPtr->prefs.frameInfo.contentSize > 0) << 3)
+ ((cctxPtr->prefs.frameInfo.contentChecksumFlag & _1BIT ) << 2)
+ (cctxPtr->prefs.frameInfo.dictID > 0) );
/* Flags */
{ U32 const FLG = srcPtr[4];
U32 const version = (FLG>>6) & _2BITS;
blockChecksumFlag = (FLG>>4) & _1BIT;
blockMode = (FLG>>5) & _1BIT;
contentSizeFlag = (FLG>>3) & _1BIT;
contentChecksumFlag = (FLG>>2) & _1BIT;
dictIDFlag = FLG & _1BIT;
/* validate */
if (((FLG>>1)&_1BIT) != 0) return err0r(LZ4F_ERROR_reservedFlag_set); /* Reserved bit */
if (version != 1) return err0r(LZ4F_ERROR_headerVersion_wrong); /* Version Number, only supported value */
}
Do the same here, and while at it, be more careful to use unaligned
accessors to what is most likely unaligned.
This has been tested partly, of course, by seeing that my
lz4-compressed kernel now boots, partly by running the (de)compression
test-suite in the (x86_64) sandbox - i.e., it should still work just
fine on little-endian hosts.
