28 * enum xz_mode - Operation mode
30 * @XZ_SINGLE: Single-call mode. This uses less RAM than
31 * than multi-call modes, because the LZMA2
32 * dictionary doesn't need to be allocated as
33 * part of the decoder state. All required data
34 * structures are allocated at initialization,
35 * so xz_dec_run() cannot return XZ_MEM_ERROR.
36 * @XZ_PREALLOC: Multi-call mode with preallocated LZMA2
37 * dictionary buffer. All data structures are
38 * allocated at initialization, so xz_dec_run()
39 * cannot return XZ_MEM_ERROR.
40 * @XZ_DYNALLOC: Multi-call mode. The LZMA2 dictionary is
41 * allocated once the required size has been
42 * parsed from the stream headers. If the
43 * allocation fails, xz_dec_run() will return
44 * XZ_MEM_ERROR.
46 * It is possible to enable support only for a subset of the above
47 * modes at compile time by defining XZ_DEC_SINGLE, XZ_DEC_PREALLOC,
48 * or XZ_DEC_DYNALLOC. The xz_dec kernel module is always compiled
49 * with support for all operation modes, but the preboot code may
50 * be built with fewer features to minimize code size.

59 * enum xz_ret - Return codes
60 * @XZ_OK: Everything is OK so far. More input or more
61 * output space is required to continue. This
62 * return code is possible only in multi-call mode
63 * (XZ_PREALLOC or XZ_DYNALLOC).
64 * @XZ_STREAM_END: Operation finished successfully.
65 * @XZ_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK: Integrity check type is not supported. Decoding
66 * is still possible in multi-call mode by simply
67 * calling xz_dec_run() again.
68 * Note that this return value is used only if
69 * XZ_DEC_ANY_CHECK was defined at build time,
70 * which is not used in the kernel. Unsupported
71 * check types return XZ_OPTIONS_ERROR if
72 * XZ_DEC_ANY_CHECK was not defined at build time.
73 * @XZ_MEM_ERROR: Allocating memory failed. This return code is
74 * possible only if the decoder was initialized
75 * with XZ_DYNALLOC. The amount of memory that was
76 * tried to be allocated was no more than the
77 * dict_max argument given to xz_dec_init().
78 * @XZ_MEMLIMIT_ERROR: A bigger LZMA2 dictionary would be needed than
79 * allowed by the dict_max argument given to
80 * xz_dec_init(). This return value is possible
81 * only in multi-call mode (XZ_PREALLOC or
82 * XZ_DYNALLOC); the single-call mode (XZ_SINGLE)
83 * ignores the dict_max argument.
84 * @XZ_FORMAT_ERROR: File format was not recognized (wrong magic
85 * bytes).
86 * @XZ_OPTIONS_ERROR: This implementation doesn't support the requested
87 * compression options. In the decoder this means
88 * that the header CRC32 matches, but the header
89 * itself specifies something that we don't support.
90 * @XZ_DATA_ERROR: Compressed data is corrupt.
91 * @XZ_BUF_ERROR: Cannot make any progress. Details are slightly
92 * different between multi-call and single-call
93 * mode; more information below.
95 * In multi-call mode, XZ_BUF_ERROR is returned when two consecutive calls
96 * to XZ code cannot consume any input and cannot produce any new output.
97 * This happens when there is no new input available, or the output buffer
98 * is full while at least one output byte is still pending. Assuming your
99 * code is not buggy, you can get this error only when decoding a compressed
100 * stream that is truncated or otherwise corrupt.
102 * In single-call mode, XZ_BUF_ERROR is returned only when the output buffer
103 * is too small or the compressed input is corrupt in a way that makes the
104 * decoder produce more output than the caller expected. When it is
105 * (relatively) clear that the compressed input is truncated, XZ_DATA_ERROR
106 * is used instead of XZ_BUF_ERROR.

147 * struct xz_dec - Opaque type to hold the XZ decoder state
149 struct xz_dec;
152 * xz_dec_init() - Allocate and initialize a XZ decoder state
153 * @mode: Operation mode
154 * @dict_max: Maximum size of the LZMA2 dictionary (history buffer) for
155 * multi-call decoding. This is ignored in single-call mode
156 * (mode == XZ_SINGLE). LZMA2 dictionary is always 2^n bytes
157 * or 2^n + 2^(n-1) bytes (the latter sizes are less common
158 * in practice), so other values for dict_max don't make sense.
159 * In the kernel, dictionary sizes of 64 KiB, 128 KiB, 256 KiB,
160 * 512 KiB, and 1 MiB are probably the only reasonable values,
161 * except for kernel and initramfs images where a bigger
162 * dictionary can be fine and useful.
164 * Single-call mode (XZ_SINGLE): xz_dec_run() decodes the whole stream at
165 * once. The caller must provide enough output space or the decoding will
166 * fail. The output space is used as the dictionary buffer, which is why
167 * there is no need to allocate the dictionary as part of the decoder's
168 * internal state.
170 * Because the output buffer is used as the workspace, streams encoded using
171 * a big dictionary are not a problem in single-call mode. It is enough that
172 * the output buffer is big enough to hold the actual uncompressed data; it
173 * can be smaller than the dictionary size stored in the stream headers.
175 * Multi-call mode with preallocated dictionary (XZ_PREALLOC): dict_max bytes
176 * of memory is preallocated for the LZMA2 dictionary. This way there is no
177 * risk that xz_dec_run() could run out of memory, since xz_dec_run() will
178 * never allocate any memory. Instead, if the preallocated dictionary is too
179 * small for decoding the given input stream, xz_dec_run() will return
180 * XZ_MEMLIMIT_ERROR. Thus, it is important to know what kind of data will be
181 * decoded to avoid allocating excessive amount of memory for the dictionary.
183 * Multi-call mode with dynamically allocated dictionary (XZ_DYNALLOC):
184 * dict_max specifies the maximum allowed dictionary size that xz_dec_run()
185 * may allocate once it has parsed the dictionary size from the stream
186 * headers. This way excessive allocations can be avoided while still
187 * limiting the maximum memory usage to a sane value to prevent running the
188 * system out of memory when decompressing streams from untrusted sources.
190 * On success, xz_dec_init() returns a pointer to struct xz_dec, which is
191 * ready to be used with xz_dec_run(). If memory allocation fails,
192 * xz_dec_init() returns NULL.

199 * @b: Input and output buffers
201 * The possible return values depend on build options and operation mode.
202 * See enum xz_ret for details.
204 * Note that if an error occurs in single-call mode (return value is not
205 * XZ_STREAM_END), b->in_pos and b->out_pos are not modified and the
206 * contents of the output buffer from b->out[b->out_pos] onward are
207 * undefined. This is true even after XZ_BUF_ERROR, because with some filter
208 * chains, there may be a second pass over the output buffer, and this pass
209 * cannot be properly done if the output buffer is truncated. Thus, you
210 * cannot give the single-call decoder a too small buffer and then expect to
211 * get that amount valid data from the beginning of the stream. You must use
212 * the multi-call decoder if you don't want to uncompress the whole stream.

220 * This function can be used to reset the multi-call decoder state without
221 * freeing and reallocating memory with xz_dec_end() and xz_dec_init().
223 * In single-call mode, xz_dec_reset() is always called in the beginning of
224 * xz_dec_run(). Thus, explicit call to xz_dec_reset() is useful only in
