* extlinux: Fix installation subdirectory patchingMatt Fleming2013-01-101-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a126f17f663c ("EXTLINUX: Initial XFS filesystem support") broke the code that inserts the installation subdirectory into the Extended Patch Area (EPA). The EPA entry is used to set the initial working directory on boot. This caused boot failures for users that chose an install directory other than /boot/syslinux (technically, it failed for any path not in 'search_directories' in load_env32()) due to ldlinux.c32 failing to load because the initial working directory was not set correctly.

* extlinux: Make sure ldlinux.sys file is installedPaulo Alcantara2013-01-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Due to delayed allocation feature on XFS filesystems, a write is not guaranteed to flushed out to the underlying file system after crash or something else - so we need to make sure that ldlinux.sys is installed correctly in the mounted filesystem.

| * EXTLINUX: Add sanity check for XFS filesystemsPaulo Alcantara2012-07-291-3/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Syslinux won't work on >4 KiB filesystem block sizes since there is no left space in MBR to determine where to install Syslinux bootsector. If one is trying to install Syslinux in a XFS partition with a filesystem block size different of 4 KiB, a proper error will be returned to the user informing that the current filesystem block size isn't supported by Syslinux.

| * EXTLINUX: Initial XFS filesystem supportPaulo Alcantara2012-07-211-39/+184
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS filesystems are divided into a number of equally sized chunks called Allocation Groups (AGs). Each AG can almost be thought of as an individual filesystem that maintains its own's space usage. Each AG has the following structure: - A super block describing the overall filesystem info - Free space management - Inode allocation and tracking So, due to historical reasons (SGI IRIX's design of disk layouts), the first sector in the primary AG on XFS filesystems contains the superblock, which is a problem with bootloaders that rely on BIOSes (that load VBRs which are located in the first sector of the partition). This patch adds support to the EXTLINUX installer to be able to install Syslinux in an XFS partition, but with a limitation (temporarily) of relying on the filesystem block size being 4+ KiB, otherwise there won't be enough space to store the Syslinux boot sector in the blank area around the 2048 to 4096 bytes of the primary AG/superblock.

* | extlinux: Avoid dereferencing a garbage pointerMatt Fleming2012-11-051-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If opt.reset_adv is set the call to ext_read_adv() is skipped which would have initialised 'filename'. This means that a pointer containing random data from the stack is passed to ext_write_adv(). Just delete the opt.reset_adv logic since modify_adv() handles that case anyway.

* installers: handle asprintf() correctlyH. Peter Anvin2010-07-021-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that the glibc version of asprintf() is braindamaged, and doesn't set the target pointer to NULL in the event of an error (only returns -1). Therefore we need to check the return value. Just in case someone else made the *opposite* error, also check the pointer. Bleh. The glibc documentation states that *BSD sets the pointer to NULL, but instead of following that, the glibc people put warn_unused_result on asprintf. Sigh. Signed-off-by: H.

* Switch to 64-bit sector pointers everywhereH. Peter Anvin2010-06-151-8/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | Switch to consistent use of 64-bit sector pointers; this should enable booting even for individual *partitions* larger than 2 TB. In order to not slow down the boot too much, switch the initial load from an enumeration to an extent map. This means the table gets larger (since we have to assume the worst case), but it simplifies the Sector 1 code (since we can push all the hard stuff into the installer), and will speed up booting in the general case.

* Implement !GPT protocol in Syslinux core; handle offset > 2 TBH. Peter Anvin2010-06-141-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the !GPT handover protocol in the Syslinux core, and handle partition offsets above 2 TB. We do not yet handle filesystem sizes above 2 TB, but that should be a reasonably straightforward extension at this time (need to switch to 8-byte block pointers). This finally meant moving getlinsec out of the boot sector, since it no longer fits. Instead have a very simple getonesec implementation in the boot sector. getlinsec still fits in Sector 1, although it doesn't leave space for very many block pointers. That's still better than adding yet another boot loader stage, however. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
