As usual, the full release notes are found on Github:
https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/tag/v1.4.5
Notable changes include:
* Improved decompress performance on amd64 and arm (5-10%
and 15-50%, respectively).
* '--patch-from' zstd(1) CLI option, which provides something like a very fast
version of bspatch(1) with slightly worse compression. See release notes.
In this update, I dropped the 3-year old -O0 workaround for an LLVM ARM bug;
the bug was fixed in LLVM SVN in 2017, but we didn't remove this workaround
from our tree until now.

Notable changes in this release include improved decompression speed (about
10%). See the Github release notes for more details.

Our in-tree gcc doesn't have a no-tree-vectorize optimization knob, so we get a
warning that it's unused. This causes the build to fail on all our gcc platforms.
Add a quick version check as a stop-gap measure to get CI building again.
This merge brings in a couple new files, which needed to be attached to the
build; a new dependency on <limits.h>, which must be stubbed; and a name
change in the Context parameter constants, from ZSTD_p_foo to ZSTD_c_foo.
Significantly, it fixes a kernel build error with GCC where floating-point
functions were included in the kernel build, by hiding them under the same
compile-time #ifdef that already covered their invocation. That issue was
introduced to FreeBSD in the 1.3.7 update and tracked upstream here:
https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/1386

Includes our local patch to conditionalize use of __builtin_clz(ll) on
Clang's __has_builtin() (which is just defined to false when building with
GCC).
The issue is tracked upstream at https://github.com/facebook/zstd/pull/884 .
Otherwise, these are vanilla Zstandard 1.3.4 files.

The existing check of the GCC version number is not sufficient
This fixes the build on sparc64 in preparation for integrating ZSTD into
the kernel for ZFS and Crash Dumps.
