d464a7698d ffs: restore backward compatibility of newfs and makefs with older binaries
The previous change to CGSIZE had the unintended side-effect of allowing
newfs and makefs to create file systems that would fail validation when
examined by older commands and kernels, by allowing newfs/makefs to pack
slightly more blocks into a CG than those older binaries think is valid.
Fix this by having newfs/makefs artificially restrict the number of blocks
in a CG to the slightly smaller value that those older binaries will accept.
The validation code will continue to accept the slightly larger value
that the current newfs/makefs (before this change) could create.

0a6e34e950 Fix size differences between architectures of the UFS/FFS CGSIZE macro value.
The cylinder group header structure ended with `u_int8_t cg_space[1]'
representing the beginning of the inode bitmap array. Some architectures
like the i386 rounded this up to a 4-byte boundry while other
architectures like the amd64 rounded it up to an 8-byte boundry.
Thus sizeof(struct cg) was four bytes bigger on an amd64 machine
than on an i386 machine. If a filesystem created on an i386 machine
was moved to an amd64 machine, the size of the cylinder group
calculated by the CGSIZE macro would appear to grow by four bytes.
Filesystems whose cylinder groups were exactly equal to the block
size on an i386 machine would appear to have a cylinder group that
was four bytes too big when moved to an amd64 machine. Note that
although the structure appears to be too big, it in fact is fine.
It is just the calaculation of its size that is in error.

The fix is to remove the cg_space element from the cylinder-group
structure so that the calculated size of the structure is the same
size on all architectures.

62dc21b107 Additional validity checking in newfs(8).
A check in the superblock validity code verifies that the computed
size of the filesystem cylinder groups (CGSIZE macro) does not
exceed the filesystem block size (fs_bsize).

A report was received that a filesystem had been flagged as failing
this check. We were unable to determine how the reported filesystem
could have been created. This commit adds a check at the end of the
newfs(8) command to verify that the the cylinder group size is valid.
If an oversize cylinder group is found newfs(8) prints a diagnostic
output and rebuilds the filesystem to make it compiliant.

fe5e6e2cc5 Improvement in UFS/FFS directory placement when doing mkdir(2).
The algorithm for laying out new directories was devised in the 1980s
and markedly improved the performance of the filesystem. In those days
large disks had at most 100 cylinder groups and often as few as 10-20.
Modern multi-terrabyte disks have thousands of cylinder groups. The
original algorithm does not handle these large sizes well. This change
attempts to expand the scope of the original algorithm to work well
with these much larger disks while still retaining the properties
of the original algorithm for small disks.

The filesystem implementation is divided into policy routines and
implementation routines. The policy routines can be changed in any
way desired without risk of corrupting the filesystem. The policy
requests are handled by the implementation layer. If the policy
asks for an available resource, it is granted. But if it asks for
an already in-use resource, then the implementation will provide
an available one nearby the request. Thus it is impossible for a
policy to double allocate. This change is limited to the policy
implementation.

This change updates the ffs_dirpref() routine which is responsible
for selecting the cylinder group into which a new directory should
be placed. If we are near the root of the filesystem we aim to
spread them out as much as possible. As we descend deeper from the
root we cluster them closer together around their parent as we
expect them to be more closely interactive. Higher-level directories
like usr/src/sys and usr/src/bin should be separated while the
directories in these areas are more likely to be accessed together
so should be closer. And directories within commands or kernel
subsystems should be closer still.

We pick a range of cylinder groups around the cylinder group of the
directory in which we are being created. The size of the range for
our search is based on our depth from the root of our filesystem.
We then probe that range based on how many directories are already
present. The first new directory is at 1/2 (middle) of the range;
the second is in the first 1/4 of the range, then at 3/4, 1/8, 3/8,
5/8, 7/8, 1/16, 3/16, 5/16, etc.

It is desirable to store the depth of a directory in its on-disk
inode so that it is available when we need it. We add a new field
di_dirdepth to track the depth of each directory. Because there are
few spare fields left in the inode, we choose to share an existing
field in the inode rather than having one of our own. Specifically
we create a union with the di_freelink field. The di_freelink field
is used to track inodes that have been unlinked but remain referenced.
It is not needed until a rmdir(2) operation has been done on a
directory. At that point, the directory has no contents and even
if it is kept active as a current directory is no longer able to
have any new directories or files created in it. Thus the use of
di_dirdepth and di_freelink will never coincide.

8f829a5cf0 Continuing efforts to provide hardening of FFS. This change adds a
check hash to the filesystem inodes. Access attempts to files
associated with an inode with an invalid check hash will fail with
EINVAL (Invalid argument). Access is reestablished after an fsck
is run to find and validate the inodes with invalid check-hashes.
This check avoids a class of filesystem panics related to corrupted
inodes. The hash is done using crc32c.

Note this check-hash is for the inode itself and not any of its
indirect blocks. Check-hash validation may be extended to also
cover indirect block pointers, but that will be a separate (and
more costly) feature.

Check hashes are added only to UFS2 and not to UFS1 as UFS1 is
primarily used in embedded systems with small memories and low-powered
processors which need as light-weight a filesystem as possible.

068beacf21 The goal of this change is to prevent accidental foot shooting by
folks running filesystems created on check-hash enabled kernels
(which I will call "new") on a non-check-hash enabled kernels (which
I will call "old). The idea here is to detect when a filesystem is
run on an old kernel and flag the filesystem so that when it gets
moved back to a new kernel, it will not start getting a slew of
check-hash errors.

Back when the UFS version 2 filesystem was created, it added a file
flag FS_INDEXDIRS that was to be set on any filesystem that kept
some sort of on-disk indexing for directories. The idea was precisely
to solve the issue we have today. Specifically that a newer kernel
that supported indexing would be able to tell that the filesystem
had been run on an older non-indexing kernel and that the indexes
should not be used until they had been rebuilt. Since we have never
implemented on-disk directory indicies, the FS_INDEXDIRS flag is
cleared every time any UFS version 2 filesystem ever created is
mounted for writing.

This commit repurposes the FS_INDEXDIRS flag as the FS_METACKHASH
flag. Thus, the FS_METACKHASH is definitively known to have always
been cleared. The FS_INDEXDIRS flag has been moved to a new block
of flags that will always be cleared starting with this commit
(until they get used to implement some future feature which needs
to detect that the filesystem was mounted on a kernel that predates
the new feature).

If a filesystem with check-hashes enabled is mounted on an old
kernel the FS_METACKHASH flag is cleared. When that filesystem is
mounted on a new kernel it will see that the FS_METACKHASH has been
cleared and clears all of the fs_metackhash flags. To get them
re-enabled the user must run fsck (in interactive mode without the
-y flag) which will ask for each supported check hash whether it
should be rebuilt and enabled. When fsck is run in its default preen
mode, it will just ignore the check hashes so they will remain
disabled.

The kernel has always disabled any check hash functions that it
does not support, so as more types of check hashes are added, we
will get a non-surprising result. Specifically if filesystems get
moved to kernels supporting fewer of the check hashes, those that
are not supported will be disabled. If the filesystem is moved back
to a kernel with more of the check-hashes available and fsck is run
interactively to rebuild them, then their checking will resume.
Otherwise just the smaller subset will be checked.

A side effect of this commit is that filesystems running with
cylinder-group check hashes will stop having them checked until
fsck is run to re-enable them (since none of them currently have
the FS_METACKHASH flag set). So, if you want check hashes enabled
on your filesystems after booting a kernel with these changes, you
need to run fsck to enable them. Any newly created filesystems will
have check hashes enabled. If in doubt as to whether you have check
hashes emabled, run dumpfs and look at the list of enabled flags
at the end of the superblock details.

75e3597abb Continuing efforts to provide hardening of FFS, this change adds a
check hash to cylinder groups. If a check hash fails when a cylinder
group is read, no further allocations are attempted in that cylinder
group until it has been fixed by fsck. This avoids a class of
filesystem panics related to corrupted cylinder group maps. The
hash is done using crc32c.

Check hases are added only to UFS2 and not to UFS1 as UFS1 is primarily
used in embedded systems with small memories and low-powered processors
which need as light-weight a filesystem as possible.

Specifics of the changes:

sys/sys/buf.h:
    Add BX_FSPRIV to reserve a set of eight b_xflags that may be used
    by individual filesystems for their own purpose. Their specific
    definitions are found in the header files for each filesystem
    that uses them. Also add fields to struct buf as noted below.

sys/kern/vfs_bio.c:
    It is only necessary to compute a check hash for a cylinder
    group when it is actually read from disk. When calling bread,
    you do not know whether the buffer was found in the cache or
    read. So a new flag (GB_CKHASH) and a pointer to a function to
    perform the hash has been added to breadn_flags to say that the
    function should be called to calculate a hash if the data has
    been read. The check hash is placed in b_ckhash and the B_CKHASH
    flag is set to indicate that a read was done and a check hash
    calculated. Though a rather elaborate mechanism, it should
    also work for check hashing other metadata in the future. A
    kernel internal API change was to change breada into a static
    fucntion and add flags and a function pointer to a check-hash
    function.

sys/ufs/ffs/fs.h:
    Add flags for types of check hashes; stored in a new word in the
    superblock. Define corresponding BX_ flags for the different types
    of check hashes. Add a check hash word in the cylinder group.

sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_alloc.c:
    In ffs_getcg do the dance with breadn_flags to get a check hash and
    if one is provided, check it.

sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_vfsops.c:
    Copy across the BX_FFSTYPES flags in background writes.
    Update the check hash when writing out buffers that need them.

sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_snapshot.c:
    Recompute check hash when updating snapshot cylinder groups.

sys/libkern/crc32.c:
lib/libufs/Makefile:
lib/libufs/libufs.h:
lib/libufs/cgroup.c:
    Include libkern/crc32.c in libufs and use it to compute check
    hashes when updating cylinder groups.

Four utilities are affected:

sbin/newfs/mkfs.c:
    Add the check hashes when building the cylinder groups.

sbin/fsck_ffs/fsck.h:
sbin/fsck_ffs/fsutil.c:
    Verify and update check hashes when checking and writing cylinder groups.

sbin/fsck_ffs/pass5.c:
    Offer to add check hashes to existing filesystems.
    Precompute check hashes when rebuilding cylinder group
    (although this will be done when it is written in fsutil.c
    it is necessary to do it early before comparing with the old
    cylinder group)

sbin/dumpfs/dumpfs.c
    Print out the new check hash flag(s)

sbin/fsdb/Makefile:
    Needs to add libufs now used by pass5.c imported from fsck_ffs.

855662c611 The new fsck recovery information to enable it to find backup
superblocks created in revision 322297 only works on disks
with sector sizes up to 4K. This update allows the recovery
information to be created by newfs and used by fsck on disks
with sector sizes up to 64K. Note that FFS currently limits
filesystem to be mounted from disks with up to 8K sectors.
Expanding this limitation will be the subject of another
commit.

77b63aa0fc Since the switch to GPT disk labels, fsck for UFS/FFS has been
unable to automatically find alternate superblocks. This checkin
places the information needed to find alternate superblocks to the
end of the area reserved for the boot block.

Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later will
create the recovery information. If you have a filesystem created
prior to this change and wish to have a recovery block created for
your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in forground mode
(i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it starts, fsck will
ask ``SAVE DATA TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS'' to which you should
answer yes.

1e001b99a5 Improve wording for -E and -t flags. -E never writes the entire disk,
so don't imply that. Note that if BIO_DELETE isn't supported, the
operation will fail (as opposed to writing the entire disk with
zeros). Thin storage also benefits from trim. List more accurate
reason why trim helps flash-memory.
