[PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent version Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3. The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%) than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32). For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to change the zlib_deflate code. Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate. This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to work. This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real world file read speed improvement. This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value. We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

/* zlib deflate based on ZLIB_VERSION "1.1.3" */
/* zlib inflate based on ZLIB_VERSION "1.2.3" */
/*
This is a modified version of zlib for use inside the Linux kernel.
The main changes are to perform all memory allocation in advance.
Inflation Changes:
* Z_PACKET_FLUSH is added and used by ppp_deflate. Before returning
this checks there is no more input data available and the next data
is a STORED block. It also resets the mode to be read for the next
data, all as per PPP requirements.
* Addition of zlib_inflateIncomp which copies incompressible data into
the history window and adjusts the accoutning without calling
zlib_inflate itself to inflate the data.
*/
/*
The 'zlib' compression library provides in-memory compression and
decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed
data. This version of the library supports only one compression method
(deflation) but other algorithms will be added later and will have the same
stream interface.
Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large
enough (for example if an input file is mmap'ed), or can be done by
repeated calls of the compression function. In the latter case, the
application must provide more input and/or consume the output
(providing more output space) before each call.

The compressed data format used by default by the in-memory functions is
the zlib format, which is a zlib wrapper documented in RFC 1950, wrapped
around a deflate stream, which is itself documented in RFC 1951.
The library also supports reading and writing files in gzip (.gz) format
with an interface similar to that of stdio.

The zlib format was designed to be compact and fast for use in memory
and on communications channels. The gzip format was designed for single-
file compression on file systems, has a larger header than zlib to maintain
directory information, and uses a different, slower check method than zlib.
The library does not install any signal handler. The decoder checks
the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never
crash even in case of corrupted input.

zalloc must return NULL if there is not enough memory for the object.
If zlib is used in a multi-threaded application, zalloc and zfree must be
thread safe.
On 16-bit systems, the functions zalloc and zfree must be able to allocate
exactly 65536 bytes, but will not be required to allocate more than this
if the symbol MAXSEG_64K is defined (see zconf.h). WARNING: On MSDOS,
pointers returned by zalloc for objects of exactly 65536 bytes *must*
have their offset normalized to zero. The default allocation function
provided by this library ensures this (see zutil.c). To reduce memory
requirements and avoid any allocation of 64K objects, at the expense of
compression ratio, compile the library with -DMAX_WBITS=14 (see zconf.h).
The fields total_in and total_out can be used for statistics or
progress reports. After compression, total_in holds the total size of
the uncompressed data and may be saved for use in the decompressor
(particularly if the decompressor wants to decompress everything in
a single step).

deflate compresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input
buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full. It may introduce some
output latency (reading input without producing any output) except when
forced to flush.
The detailed semantics are as follows. deflate performs one or both of the
following actions:
- Compress more input starting at next_in and update next_in and avail_in
accordingly. If not all input can be processed (because there is not
enough room in the output buffer), next_in and avail_in are updated and
processing will resume at this point for the next call of deflate().
- Provide more output starting at next_out and update next_out and avail_out
accordingly. This action is forced if the parameter flush is non zero.
Forcing flush frequently degrades the compression ratio, so this parameter
should be set only when necessary (in interactive applications).
Some output may be provided even if flush is not set.
Before the call of deflate(), the application should ensure that at least
one of the actions is possible, by providing more input and/or consuming
more output, and updating avail_in or avail_out accordingly; avail_out
should never be zero before the call. The application can consume the
compressed output when it wants, for example when the output buffer is full
(avail_out == 0), or after each call of deflate(). If deflate returns Z_OK
and with zero avail_out, it must be called again after making room in the
output buffer because there might be more output pending.
If the parameter flush is set to Z_SYNC_FLUSH, all pending output is
flushed to the output buffer and the output is aligned on a byte boundary, so
that the decompressor can get all input data available so far. (In particular
avail_in is zero after the call if enough output space has been provided
before the call.) Flushing may degrade compression for some compression
algorithms and so it should be used only when necessary.
If flush is set to Z_FULL_FLUSH, all output is flushed as with
Z_SYNC_FLUSH, and the compression state is reset so that decompression can
restart from this point if previous compressed data has been damaged or if
random access is desired. Using Z_FULL_FLUSH too often can seriously degrade
the compression.
If deflate returns with avail_out == 0, this function must be called again
with the same value of the flush parameter and more output space (updated
avail_out), until the flush is complete (deflate returns with non-zero
avail_out).
If the parameter flush is set to Z_FINISH, pending input is processed,
pending output is flushed and deflate returns with Z_STREAM_END if there
was enough output space; if deflate returns with Z_OK, this function must be
called again with Z_FINISH and more output space (updated avail_out) but no
more input data, until it returns with Z_STREAM_END or an error. After
deflate has returned Z_STREAM_END, the only possible operations on the
stream are deflateReset or deflateEnd.
Z_FINISH can be used immediately after deflateInit if all the compression
is to be done in a single step. In this case, avail_out must be at least
0.1% larger than avail_in plus 12 bytes. If deflate does not return
Z_STREAM_END, then it must be called again as described above.
deflate() sets strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of all input read
so far (that is, total_in bytes).
deflate() may update data_type if it can make a good guess about
the input data type (Z_ASCII or Z_BINARY). In doubt, the data is considered
binary. This field is only for information purposes and does not affect
the compression algorithm in any manner.
deflate() returns Z_OK if some progress has been made (more input
processed or more output produced), Z_STREAM_END if all input has been
consumed and all output has been produced (only when flush is set to
Z_FINISH), Z_STREAM_ERROR if the stream state was inconsistent (for example
if next_in or next_out was NULL), Z_BUF_ERROR if no progress is possible
(for example avail_in or avail_out was zero).

prematurely (some input or output was discarded). In the error case,

value depends on the compression method), inflateInit determines the
compression method from the zlib header and allocates all data structures
accordingly; otherwise the allocation will be deferred to the first call of
inflate. If zalloc and zfree are set to NULL, inflateInit updates them to
use default allocation functions.
inflateInit returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough

The flush parameter of inflate() can be Z_NO_FLUSH, Z_SYNC_FLUSH,
Z_FINISH, or Z_BLOCK. Z_SYNC_FLUSH requests that inflate() flush as much
output as possible to the output buffer. Z_BLOCK requests that inflate() stop
if and when it gets to the next deflate block boundary. When decoding the
zlib or gzip format, this will cause inflate() to return immediately after
the header and before the first block. When doing a raw inflate, inflate()
will go ahead and process the first block, and will return when it gets to
the end of that block, or when it runs out of data.
The Z_BLOCK option assists in appending to or combining deflate streams.
Also to assist in this, on return inflate() will set strm->data_type to the
number of unused bits in the last byte taken from strm->next_in, plus 64
if inflate() is currently decoding the last block in the deflate stream,
plus 128 if inflate() returned immediately after decoding an end-of-block
code or decoding the complete header up to just before the first byte of the
deflate stream. The end-of-block will not be indicated until all of the
uncompressed data from that block has been written to strm->next_out. The
number of unused bits may in general be greater than seven, except when
bit 7 of data_type is set, in which case the number of unused bits will be
less than eight.
inflate() should normally be called until it returns Z_STREAM_END or an
error. However if all decompression is to be performed in a single step
(a single call of inflate), the parameter flush should be set to
Z_FINISH. In this case all pending input is processed and all pending
output is flushed; avail_out must be large enough to hold all the
uncompressed data. (The size of the uncompressed data may have been saved
by the compressor for this purpose.) The next operation on this stream must
be inflateEnd to deallocate the decompression state. The use of Z_FINISH
[PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent version Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3. The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%) than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32). For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to change the zlib_deflate code. Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate. This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to work. This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real world file read speed improvement. This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value. We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

In this implementation, inflate() always flushes as much output as
possible to the output buffer, and always uses the faster approach on the
first call. So the only effect of the flush parameter in this implementation
is on the return value of inflate(), as noted below, or when it returns early
because Z_BLOCK is used.
If a preset dictionary is needed after this call (see inflateSetDictionary
below), inflate sets strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of the dictionary
chosen by the compressor and returns Z_NEED_DICT; otherwise it sets
strm->adler to the adler32 checksum of all output produced so far (that is,
total_out bytes) and returns Z_OK, Z_STREAM_END or an error code as described
below. At the end of the stream, inflate() checks that its computed adler32
checksum is equal to that saved by the compressor and returns Z_STREAM_END
only if the checksum is correct.
inflate() will decompress and check either zlib-wrapped or gzip-wrapped
deflate data. The header type is detected automatically. Any information
contained in the gzip header is not retained, so applications that need that
information should instead use raw inflate, see inflateInit2() below, or
inflateBack() and perform their own processing of the gzip header and
trailer.
inflate() returns Z_OK if some progress has been made (more input processed
or more output produced), Z_STREAM_END if the end of the compressed data has
been reached and all uncompressed output has been produced, Z_NEED_DICT if a
preset dictionary is needed at this point, Z_DATA_ERROR if the input data was

extern int deflateInit2 (z_streamp strm,
int level,
int method,
int windowBits,
int memLevel,
int strategy);
This is another version of deflateInit with more compression options. The
fields next_in, zalloc, zfree and opaque must be initialized before by
the caller.
The method parameter is the compression method. It must be Z_DEFLATED in
this version of the library.
The windowBits parameter is the base two logarithm of the window size
(the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this
version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better
compression at the expense of memory usage. The default value is 15 if
deflateInit is used instead.
The memLevel parameter specifies how much memory should be allocated
for the internal compression state. memLevel=1 uses minimum memory but
is slow and reduces compression ratio; memLevel=9 uses maximum memory
for optimal speed. The default value is 8. See zconf.h for total memory
usage as a function of windowBits and memLevel.
The strategy parameter is used to tune the compression algorithm. Use the
value Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY for normal data, Z_FILTERED for data produced by a
filter (or predictor), or Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY to force Huffman encoding only (no
string match). Filtered data consists mostly of small values with a
somewhat random distribution. In this case, the compression algorithm is
tuned to compress them better. The effect of Z_FILTERED is to force more
Huffman coding and less string matching; it is somewhat intermediate
between Z_DEFAULT and Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY. The strategy parameter only affects
the compression ratio but not the correctness of the compressed output even
if it is not set appropriately.
deflateInit2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if a parameter is invalid (such as an invalid
method). msg is set to null if there is no error message. deflateInit2 does
not perform any compression: this will be done by deflate().

extern int zlib_deflateSetDictionary (z_streamp strm,

/*
Initializes the compression dictionary from the given byte sequence
without producing any compressed output. This function must be called
immediately after deflateInit, deflateInit2 or deflateReset, before any
call of deflate. The compressor and decompressor must use exactly the same
dictionary (see inflateSetDictionary).
The dictionary should consist of strings (byte sequences) that are likely
to be encountered later in the data to be compressed, with the most commonly
used strings preferably put towards the end of the dictionary. Using a
dictionary is most useful when the data to be compressed is short and can be
predicted with good accuracy; the data can then be compressed better than
with the default empty dictionary.
Depending on the size of the compression data structures selected by
deflateInit or deflateInit2, a part of the dictionary may in effect be
discarded, for example if the dictionary is larger than the window size in
deflate or deflate2. Thus the strings most likely to be useful should be
put at the end of the dictionary, not at the front.
Upon return of this function, strm->adler is set to the Adler32 value
of the dictionary; the decompressor may later use this value to determine
which dictionary has been used by the compressor. (The Adler32 value
applies to the whole dictionary even if only a subset of the dictionary is
actually used by the compressor.)
deflateSetDictionary returns Z_OK if success, or Z_STREAM_ERROR if a

compression state which can be quite large, so this strategy is slow and

instead. windowBits must be greater than or equal to the windowBits value
provided to deflateInit2() while compressing, or it must be equal to 15 if
deflateInit2() was not used. If a compressed stream with a larger window
size is given as input, inflate() will return with the error code
Z_DATA_ERROR instead of trying to allocate a larger window.
windowBits can also be -8..-15 for raw inflate. In this case, -windowBits
determines the window size. inflate() will then process raw deflate data,
not looking for a zlib or gzip header, not generating a check value, and not
looking for any check values for comparison at the end of the stream. This
is for use with other formats that use the deflate compressed data format
such as zip. Those formats provide their own check values. If a custom
format is developed using the raw deflate format for compressed data, it is
recommended that a check value such as an adler32 or a crc32 be applied to
the uncompressed data as is done in the zlib, gzip, and zip formats. For
most applications, the zlib format should be used as is. Note that comments
above on the use in deflateInit2() applies to the magnitude of windowBits.
windowBits can also be greater than 15 for optional gzip decoding. Add
32 to windowBits to enable zlib and gzip decoding with automatic header
detection, or add 16 to decode only the gzip format (the zlib format will
return a Z_DATA_ERROR). If a gzip stream is being decoded, strm->adler is
a crc32 instead of an adler32.
inflateInit2 returns Z_OK if success, Z_MEM_ERROR if there was not enough
memory, Z_STREAM_ERROR if a parameter is invalid (such as a null strm). msg
is set to null if there is no error message. inflateInit2 does not perform
any decompression apart from reading the zlib header if present: this will
be done by inflate(). (So next_in and avail_in may be modified, but next_out
and avail_out are unchanged.)

This removal is also more in keeping with the zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.
