[zstdmt] Fix jobsize bugs
* `ZSTDMT_serialState_reset()` should use `targetSectionSize`, not `jobSize` when sizing the seqstore.
Add an assert that checks that we sized the seqstore using the right job size.
* `ZSTDMT_compressionJob()` should check if `rawSeqStore.seq == NULL`.
* `ZSTDMT_initCStream_internal()` should not adjust `mtctx->params.jobSize` (clamping to MIN/MAX is okay).
It's not necessary to ensure that no job is ongoing.
The pool is only expanded, existing threads are preserved.
In case of error, the only option is to return NULL and terminate the thread pool anyway.
In the new advanced API, adjust the parameters even if they are explicitly
set. This mainly applies to the `windowLog`, and accordingly the `hashLog`
and `chainLog`, when the source size is known.
There were 2 competing set of debug functions
within zstd_internal.h and bitstream.h.
They were mostly duplicate, and required care to avoid messing with each other.
There is now a single implementation, shared by both.
Significant change :
The macro variable ZSTD_DEBUG does no longer exist,
it has been replaced by DEBUGLEVEL,
which required modifying several source files.
in this version, literal compression is always disabled for ZSTD_fast strategy.
Performance parity between ZSTD_compress_advanced() and ZSTD_compress_generic()
result of ZSTD_compress_advanced()
is different from ZSTD_compress_generic()
when using negative compression levels
because the disabling of huffman compression is not passed in parameters.
The (pretty old) code inside ZSTD_compress()
was making some pretty bold assumptions
on what's inside a CCtx and how to init it.
This is pretty fragile by design.
CCtx content evolve.
Knowledge of how to handle that should be concentrate in one place.
A side effect of this strategy
is that ZSTD_compress() wouldn't check for BMI2 capability,
and is therefore missing out some potential speed opportunity.
This patch makes ZSTD_compress() use
the same initialization and release functions
as the normal creator / destructor ones.
Measured on my laptop, with a custom version of bench
manually modified to use ZSTD_compress() (instead of the advanced API) :

when parameters are "equivalent",
the context is re-used in continue mode,
hence needed workspace size is not recalculated.
This incidentally also evades the size-down check and action.
This patch intercepts the "continue mode"
so that the size-down check and action is actually triggered.
recently introduce into the new dictionary mode.
The bug could be reproduced with this command :
./zstreamtest -v --opaqueapi --no-big-tests -s4092 -t639
error was in function ZSTD_count_2segments() :
the beginning of the 2nd segment corresponds to prefixStart
and not the beginning of the current block (istart == src).
This would result in comparing the wrong byte.
removed "cached" structure.
prices are now saved in the optimal table.
Primarily done for simplification.
Might improve speed by a little.
But actually, and surprisingly, also improves ratio in some circumstances.
recent experienced showed that
default distribution table for offset
can get it wrong pretty quickly with the nb of symbols,
while it remains a reasonable choice much longer for lengths symbols.
Changed the formula,
so that dynamic threshold is now 32 symbols for offsets.
It remains at 64 symbols for lengths.
Detection based on defaultNormLog
zstd rejects blocks which do not compress by at least a certain amount.
In which case, such block is simply emitted uncompressed (even if a little bit of compression could be achieved).
This is better for decompression speed, hence for energy.
The logic is controlled by ZSTD_minGain().
The rule is applied uniformly, at all compression levels.
This change makes btultra accepts blocks with poor compression ratios.
We presume that users of btultra mode prefers compression ratio over some decompress speed gains.
The threshold for minimum gain is lowered for btultra
from s>>6 (~1.5% minimum gain)
to s>>7 (~0.8% minimum gain).
This is a prudent change.
Not sure if it's large enough.
ensure that, when frequency[symbol]==0,
result is (tableLog + 1) bits
with both upper-bit and fractional-bit estimates.
Also : enable BIT_DEBUG in /tests
Work around bug in zstd decoder
Pull request #1144 exercised a new path in the zstd decoder that proved to
be buggy. Avoid the extremely rare bug by emitting an uncompressed block.
Estimate the cost for using FSE modes `set_basic`, `set_compressed`, and
`set_repeat`, and select the one with the lowest cost.
* The cost of `set_basic` is computed using the cross-entropy cost
function `ZSTD_crossEntropyCost()`, using the normalized default count
and the count.
* The cost of `set_repeat` is computed using `FSE_bitCost()`. We check the
previous table to see if it is able to represent the distribution.
* The cost of `set_compressed` is computed with the entropy cost function
`ZSTD_entropyCost()`, together with the cost of writing the normalized
count `ZSTD_NCountCost()`.
this patch makes btultra do 2 passes on the first block,
the first one being dedicated to collecting statistics
so that the 2nd pass is more accurate.
It translates into a very small compression ratio gain :
enwik7, level 20:
blocks 4K : 2.142 -> 2.153
blocks 16K : 2.447 -> 2.457
blocks 64K : 2.716 -> 2.726
On the other hand, the cpu cost is doubled.
The trade off looks bad.
Though, that's ultimately a price to pay to reach better compression ratio.
So it's only enabled when setting btultra.
this improves compression ratio by a *tiny* amount.
It also reduces speed by a small amount.
Consequently, bit-fractional evaluation is only turned on for btultra.
for FSE symbols.
While it seems to work, the gains are negligible compared to rough maxNbBits evaluation.
There are even a few losses sometimes, that still need to be explained.
Furthermode, there are still cases where btlazy2 does a better job than btopt,
which seems rather strange too.
for proper estimation of symbol's weights
when using dictionary compression.
Note : using only huffman costs is not good enough,
presumably because sequence symbol costs are incorrect.
reported by @let-def.
It's actually a bug in ZSTD_compressBegin_usingCDict()
which would pass a wrong pledgedSrcSize value (0 instead of ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN)
resulting in wrong window size, resulting in downsized seqStore,
resulting in segfault when writing into the seqStore later in the process.
Added a test in fuzzer to cover this use case (fails before the patch).
The new advanced API basically set `requestedParams = appliedParams` when
using a dictionary. This halted all parameter adjustment, which can hurt
compression ratio if, for example, the window log is small for the first
call, but the rest of the files are large.
This patch fixes the bug, and checks that the `requestedParams` don't change
in the new advanced API when using a dictionary, and generally in the fuzzer.
Zstdmt uses prefixes to load the overlap between segments. Loading extra
positions makes compression non-deterministic, depending on the previous
job the context was used for. Since loading extra position takes extra
time as well, only do it when creating a `ZSTD_CDict`.
Fixes#1077.
The `avgJobSize` must not be lower than 256 KB for single-pass mode.
In `zstd.h` we say the minimum value for `ZSTD_p_jobSize` is 1 MB,
so ensure that we always pick a size >= 1 MB.
Found by libFuzzer fuzzer tests with large input limits.
this makes it possible to specify extremely large negative compression levels,
achieving the side effect as "no compression".
It will also be possible to define larger targetlength for ultra compression mode.
There is no adverse side effect due to removing this limit.
Integrate ldm into zstdmt by running it in serial and in order in the first
step of each job, in the same place as the hash gets updated. The input
buffer is sized to fit the whole LDM window and 2 full buffers of slack.
Input buffers cannot be reused until the LDM step is done with them.
After the LDM step is finished, the jobs don't actually have access to the
full window, only the overlap.
Tested on a few different multi-GB files with and without sanitizers,
and with different numbers of threads.
* Computes the XXH hash in the worker threads.
* Workers get a sequence number and wait until ther number shows up. On
error, ensures that its sequence is finished, so future threads don't
get blocked.
* Sets up for ldm integration, which will go in the same spot.
Setting `loadedDictEnd` was accidently removed from `ZSTD_loadDictionaryContent()`,
which means that dictionary compression will only be able to reference the parts of
the dictionary within the window. The spec allows us to reference the entire
dictionary so long as even one byte is in the window.
`ZSTD_enforceMaxDist()` incorrectly always allowed offsets up to `loadedDictEnd`
beyond the window, even once the dictionary was out of range.
When overflow protection kicked in, the check `current > loadedDictEnd + maxDist`
is incorrect if `loadedDictEnd` isn't reset back to zero. `current` could be reset
below the value, which would incorrectly allow references beyond the window. This
bug is present in `master`, but is very hard to trigger, since it requires both
dictionaries and data which triggers overflow correction.
Summary:
Allocate a single input buffer large enough to house each job, as well as
enough space for the IO thread to write 2 extra buffers. One goes in the
`POOL` queue, and one to fill, and then block on a full `POOL` queue.
Since we can't overlap with the prefix, we allocate space for 3 extra
input buffers.
Test Plan:
* CI
* With and without ASAN/UBSAN run zstdmt with different number of threads
on two large binaries, and verify that their checksums match.
* Test on the tip of the zstdmt ldm integration.
