This will allow us to treat NO_METHOD as a real compression method,
and to simplify code that currently does
if (compressing) {
compress
} else {
copy
}
Increase the maximum allowed size passed to mprotect(PROT_WRITE)
from 1MB to 16MB. This was necessary with the glibc allocator
in order to allow worker threads to allocate more memory --
which in turn is necessary because of our new use of worker
threads for compression.
Closes ticket #22096. Found while working on #21648.
This patch changes two things in our LZMA compression backend:
- We lower the preset values for all `compression_level_t` values to
ensure that we can run the LZMA decoder with less than 65 MB of memory
available. This seems to have a small impact on the real world usage
and fits well with our needs.
- We set the upper bound of memory usage for the LZMA decoder to 16 MB.

This patch adds support for measuring the approximated memory usage by
the individual `tor_zstd_compress_state_t` object instances.

This patch fixes the documentation string for `tor_uncompress()` to
ensure that it does not explicitly mention zlib or gzip since we now
support multiple compression backends.
This patch adds support for measuring the approximated memory usage by
the individual `tor_lzma_compress_state_t` object instances.
The LZMA library provides the functions `lzma_easy_encoder_memusage()`
and `lzma_easy_decoder_memusage()` which is used to find the estimated
usage in bytes.

We hadn't needed this before, because most getpid() callers on Linux
were looking at the vDSO version of getpid(). I don't know why at
least one version of OpenSSL seems to be ignoring the vDSO, but this
change should fix it.
Fixes bug 21943; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha when the sandbox was
introduced.
The `tor_compress_state_t` data-type is used as a wrapper around the
more specialized state-types used by the various compression backends.
This patch ensures that the overhead of this "thin" wrapper type is
included in the value returned by `tor_compress_get_total_allocation()`.

Since we have a streaming API for each compression backend, we don't
need a non-streaming API for each: we can build a common
non-streaming API at the front-end.
This patch renames the `compress` parameter of the
`tor_zlib_compress_new()` function to `_compress` to avoid shadowing the
`compress()` function in zlib.h.
This patch splits up `tor_compress_memory_level()` into static functions
in the individual compression backends, which allows us to tune the
values per compression backend rather than globally.

Use a switch-statement in `tor_compress()` and `tor_uncompress()` for
the given `compress_method_t` parameter. This allows us to have the
compiler detect if we forgot add a handler in these functions for a
newly added enumeration value.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/21662
This patch adds `tor_compress_version_str()` and
`tor_compress_header_version_str()` to get the version strings of the
different compression schema providers. Both functions returns `NULL` in
case a given `compress_method_t` is unknown or unsupported.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/21662
This patch adds support for checking if a given `compress_method_t` is
supported by the currently running Tor instance using
`tor_compress_supports_method()`.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/21662
This patch adds the `tor_compress_get_total_allocation()` which returns
an approximate number of bytes currently in use by all the different
compression backends.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/21662
This patch changes the way `tor_compress_new()`,
`tor_compress_process()`, and `tor_compress_free()` handles different
compression methods. This should give us compiler warnings in case an
additional compression method is added, but the developer forgets to add
handlers in the three aforementioned functions.
