commit 89b158635ad79574bde8e94d45dad33f8cf09549 upstream. LZ4 final literal copy could be overlapped when doing in-place decompression, so it's unsafe to just use memcpy() on an optimized memcpy approach but memmove() instead. Upstream LZ4 has updated this years ago [1] (and the impact is non-sensible [2] plus only a few bytes remain), this commit just synchronizes LZ4 upstream code to the kernel side as well. It can be observed as EROFS in-place decompression failure on specific files when X86_FEATURE_ERMS is unsupported, memcpy() optimization of commit 59daa706fbec ("x86, mem: Optimize memcpy by avoiding memory false dependece") will be enabled then. Currently most modern x86-CPUs support ERMS, these CPUs just use "rep movsb" approach so no problem at all. However, it can still be verified with forcely disabling ERMS feature... arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: ALTERNATIVE_2 "jmp memcpy_orig", "", X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, \ - "jmp memcpy_erms", X86_FEATURE_ERMS + "jmp memcpy_orig", X86_FEATURE_ERMS We didn't observe any strange on arm64/arm/x86 platform before since most memcpy() would behave in an increasing address order ("copy upwards" [3]) and it's the correct order of in-place decompression but it really needs an update to memmove() for sure considering it's an undefined behavior according to the standard and some unique optimization already exists in the kernel.

The lz4 upstream commit itself has been merged for 2 years. And the linux upstream commit is also merged for months without any other regression. And in principle, it won't have any real impact at all, so I think it's now safe to backport this to LTS kernels for unsupported ERMS x86s.
