Newer gcc versions were getting smart and omitting the `memset()`.
Get around this issue by outlining the `memset()` into a different
function. This test is still hacky, but it works...
Run the scraper command to establish the project version immediately,
rather than wait for the build to be configured. This simplifies the
code and ensures that project introspection works correctly.
Disable ASM in the kernel for now. It requires a few changes & setup to
get working. Instead of doing it in a zstd version update, I'd prefer to
package that change as a single patch, and propose it separately from
the version update. This makes the version update easier, and reduces
some risk.
The zstd_common module was added upstream in commit
637a642f5c.
But the kernel specific code was inlined into the library. This commit
switches it to use the out of line method that we use for the other
modules.
Use a switch statement to select the search function instead of an
indirect function call. This results in a sizable performance win.
This PR is a modification of the approach taken in PR #2828.
When I measured performance for that commit, it was neutral.
However, I now see a performance regression on gcc, but still
neutral on clang. I'm measuring on the same platform, but with
newer compilers. The new approach beats both the current dev
branch and the baseline before PR #2828 was merged.
This PR is necessary for Issue #3275, to update zstd in the kernel.
Without this PR there is a large regression in greedy - btlazy2
compression speed. With this PR it is about neutral.

Add a `--spdx` option to the freestanding script to prefix
files with a line like (for `.c` files):
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause
or (for `.h` and `.S` files):
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause */
Given the style of the line to be used depends on the extension,
a simple `sed` insert command would not work.
It also skips the file if an existing SPDX line is there,
as well as raising an error if an unexpected SPDX line appears
anywhere else in the file, as well as for unexpected
file extensions.
I double-checked that all currently generated files appear
to be license as expected with:
grep -LRF 'This source code is licensed under both the BSD-style license (found in the' linux/lib/zstd
grep -LRF 'LICENSE file in the root directory of this source tree) and the GPLv2 (found' linux/lib/zstd
but somebody knowledgable on the licensing of the project should
double-check this is the intended case.
