tar,unzip: postpone creation of symlinks with "suspicious" targets
This mostly reverts commit bc9bbeb2b81001e8731cd2ae501c8fccc8d87cc7 "libarchive: do not extract unsafe symlinks unless $EXTRACT_UNSAFE_SYMLINKS=1" Users report that it is somewhat too restrictive. See https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=8411 In particular, this interferes with unpacking of busybox-based filesystems with links like "sbin/applet" -> "../bin/busybox". The change is made smaller by deleting ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_QUIET flag - it is unused since 2010, and removing conditionals on it allows commonalizing some error message codes. function old new delta create_or_remember_symlink - 94 +94 create_symlinks_from_list - 64 +64 tar_main 1002 1006 +4 unzip_main 2732 2724 -8 data_extract_all 984 891 -93 unsafe_symlink_target 147 - -147 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 2/1 grow/shrink: 1/2 up/down: 162/-248) Total: -86 bytes Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
