Bug Description

zlib on s390x may produce incomplete raw (but not gzip/zlib) streams

---uname output---
Linux t35lp56.lnxne.boe 5.8.0-20200703.rc3.git0.52a479d42203.300.fc31.s390x #1 SMP Fri Jul 3 00:46:20 CEST 2020 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux

Machine Type = z15

---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured

---Steps to Reproduce---
 Create a raw (negative windowBits value) stream with zlib. EOBS might be missing or truncated.

This affects all distro levels that contain hardware acceleration (DFLTCC) patch. I've attached the preliminary fix.

@Christian, thx for the preliminary fix and the test.
May I ask if the path is already upstream accepted or if you are working on that?

Unfortunately zlib does not accept patches at the moment, so it is unlikely that this fix will be accepted in the strict sense of the word anytime soon. However, I will include
https://github.com/iii-i/zlib/commit/aff708461f9903055edf07c8e908f860788d069d, which contains this fix, into my "official" hardware acceleration pull request (https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410) in the next few days.

@fheimes, gentle ping. How are things looking on your side?

Due to the work on the point releases (20.04.1 and 18.04.5 within 2 weeks) there is some delay on this. But the maintaining team is aware of this...

Hi, is it correct to say that fixing this bug and bug 1882494 just requires updating the patch we have to the current state of the https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410 pull request? If so, the package that is currently building at https://launchpad.net/~mwhudson/+archive/ubuntu/devirt/+packages?field.name_filter=zlib should have the fix and would be worth testing.

Great thanks for confirming. Are you able to test the packages mentioned above? We don't have z15 hardware to test on (also bug 1884514 while you're here :-p)
