into ffs_sbsearch() to allow use by other parts of the system.
Historically only fsck_ffs(8), the UFS filesystem checker, had code
to track down and use alternate UFS superblocks. Since fsdb(8) used
much of the fsck_ffs(8) implementation it had some ability to track
down alternate superblocks.
This change extracts the code to track down alternate superblocks
from fsck_ffs(8) and puts it into a new function ffs_sbsearch() in
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_subr.c. Like ffs_sbget() and ffs_sbput() also found
in ffs_subr.c, these functions can be used directly by the kernel
subsystems. Additionally they are exported to the UFS library,
libufs(8) so that they can be used by user-level programs. The new
functions added to libufs(8) are sbfind(3) that is an alternative
to sbread(3) and sbsearch(3) that is an alternative to sbget(3).
See their manual pages for further details.
The utilities that have been changed to search for superblocks are
dumpfs(8), fsdb(8), ffsinfo(8), and fsck_ffs(8). Also, the prtblknos(8)
tool found in tools/diag/prtblknos searches for superblocks.
The UFS specific mount code uses the superblock search interface
when mounting the root filesystem and when the administrator doing
a mount(8) command specifies the force flag (-f). The standalone UFS
boot code (found in stand/libsa/ufs.c) uses the superblock search
code in the hope of being able to get the system up and running so
that fsck_ffs(8) can be used to get the filesystem cleaned up.
The following utilities have not been changed to search for
superblocks: clri(8), tunefs(8), snapinfo(8), fstyp(8), quot(8),
dump(8), fsirand(8), growfs(8), quotacheck(8), gjournal(8), and
glabel(8). When these utilities fail, they do report the cause of
the failure. The one exception is the tasting code used to try and
figure what a given disk contains. The tasting code will remain
silent so as not to put out a slew of messages as it trying to taste
every new mass storage device that shows up.

Rather than trying to shoehorn flags into the requested superblock
address, create a separate flags parameter to the ffs_sbget()
function in sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_subr.c. The ffs_sbget() function is
used both in the kernel and in user-level utilities through export
to the sbget() function in the libufs(3) library (see sbget(3)
for details). The kernel uses ffs_sbget() when mounting UFS
filesystems, in the glabel(8) and gjournal(8) GEOM utilities,
and in the standalone library used when booting the system
from a UFS root filesystem.
The ffs_sbget() function reads the superblock located at the byte
offset specified by its sblockloc parameter. The value UFS_STDSB
may be specified for sblockloc to request that the standard
location for the superblock be read.
The two existing options are now flags:
UFS_NOHASHFAIL will note if the check hash is wrong but will still
return the superblock. This is used by the bootstrap code to
give the system a chance to come up so that fsck can be run to
correct the problem.
UFS_NOMSG indicates that superblock inconsistency error messages
should not be printed. It is used by programs like fsck that
want to print their own error message and programs like glabel(8)
that just want to know if a UFS filesystem exists on a partition.
One additional flag is added:
UFS_NOCSUM causes only the superblock itself to be returned, but does
not read in any auxiliary data structures like the cylinder group
summary information. It is used by clients like glabel(8) that
just want to check for possible filesystem types. Using UFS_NOCSUM
skips the superblock checks for csum data which allows superblocks
that have corrupted csum data to be read and used.
The validate_sblock() function checks that the superblock has not
been corrupted in a way that can crash or hang the system. Unless
the UFS_NOMSG flag is specified, it will print out any errors that
it finds. Prior to this commit, validate_sblock() returned as soon
as it found an inconsistency so would print at most one message.
It now does all its checks so when UFS_NOMSG has not been specified
will print out everything that it finds inconsistent.

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.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

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.

running time for a full fsck. It also reduces the random access time
for large files and speeds the traversal time for directory tree walks.
The key idea is to reserve a small area in each cylinder group
immediately following the inode blocks for the use of metadata,
specifically indirect blocks and directory contents. The new policy
is to preferentially place metadata in the metadata area and
everything else in the blocks that follow the metadata area.
The size of this area can be set when creating a filesystem using
newfs(8) or changed in an existing filesystem using tunefs(8).
Both utilities use the `-k held-for-metadata-blocks' option to
specify the amount of space to be held for metadata blocks in each
cylinder group. By default, newfs(8) sets this area to half of
minfree (typically 4% of the data area).
This work was inspired by a paper presented at Usenix's FAST '13:

extended using growfs(8). The problem here is that geom_label checks if
the filesystem size recorded in UFS superblock is equal to the provider
(i.e. device) size. This check cannot be removed due to backward
compatibility. On the other hand, in most cases growfs(8) cannot set
fs_size in the superblock to match the provider size, because, differently
from newfs(8), it cannot recompute cylinder group sizes.
To fix this problem, add another superblock field, fs_providersize, used
only for this purpose. The geom_label(4) will attach if either fs_size
(filesystem created with newfs(8)) or fs_providersize (filesystem expanded
using growfs(8)) matches the device size.
