ba63787689 Partitions start on cylinder boundaries. 2014-03-28 01:52:48 +00:00

452aa44886 Give vtoc8 a change to work: when setting the physical block size to 4K,
sectors/track to 8 and number or heads to 1, partitions that are block
aligned are also cyclinder aligned. With that trick, fix the vtoc8:
1.  Set physcyls, ncyls, altcyls, nheads and nsecs appropriately.
2.  Truncate the image size to exactly ncyls * nheads * nsecs * secsz.
3.  Properly write the cylinder number as the start of the partition.
4.  Oh, and actually calculate the checksum of the label...

cedbce4789 Allow schemes to specify a maximum sector size. The minimum is fixed
at 512. This allows checking of the sector size up-front when given
on the command line.

4eff23dbe8 Mostly implement the vtoc8 scheme. The vtoc8 scheme uses cylinders for
the beginning of partitions, which makes it sensitive to geometry.
Again, we'll need to revisit this.

3cd87458c0 Revamp:
1.  Make secsz globally visible.
2.  Have all code use the global secsz and nparts, rather than passing
    them around.
3.  Introduce lba_t as the type to use when talking about block addresses.
4.  Work on LBAs instead of offsets. There's just too much division with
    the sector size and there's really no value to use by offsets other
    than that is what lseek() wants. For that we now have mkimg_seek().

The bigger picture is that geometry (cylinders, heads, sectors/track) and
also a possible physical sector size are to be globals that can be used
from anyway. We really don't want to pass all that stuff as arguments to
functions and then add __unused for most of them...

d449c3f144 Handle the -b option for specifying boot code that lives in the
partitioning scheme's meta data. Implement it for GPT.

ace52aef3d Add more partition types (mostly just the FreeBSD ones) to GPT.
Avoid having schemes use literal strings by introducing an enum
as the intermediate representation (see geom_part).

0dddaf6f49 Add a scheme-specific write callback to write the metadata.
While here:
1.  Move FreeBSD-specific headers to a more centralized place, so that
    it's easier to port mkimg.
2.  Remove inclusion of <uuid.h> where we don't need it (copy-pasted).
3.  Check the partition data given on the command line before we do any
    I/O.
4.  Add scheme_round() for rounding the partition size.
5.  Have scheme_write call the scheme-specific write callback and have
    it propagate errors back to the caller.

3f2295fee5 Replace *_get_leader() and *_get_trailer() with a single *_metadata().
This single function takes a where argument to indicate the kind of
metadata to "size". This way we can also get rid of the "padding"
field in the scheme structure.
This should make it a little more understandable what's going on.

7f983a3b38 Use linker sets to provide build-time selection of the schemes
that need to be supported. Each scheme provides data and callbacks
for handling the scheme-specifics.
To this end, put each scheme in its own source file.
