<title>tar writer: replace PAX headers with GNU extensions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:70dcf39f5926a66d76eb9fde2cbaef4b6a23a9e1</id>
<content type='text'>
Some experiments seem to indicate that the various GNU extensions are
more widely supported than their POSIX equivalents[1]. Possibly because
they are easier to implement and possibly because of the wide spread
use of GNU tar.

This commit replaces the PAX writer in the write_tar_header implementation
with a GNU extension based writer.

The writer is also cleaned up by removing all global state. The record
counter is moved outside into the tar2sqfs program and passed in as
function argument.

If the tar header name is exactely 100 bytes long, it does not have a
trailing null byte. Using strlen/strcpy on it effectively concatenates
the following fields contents to it.

This commit attempts to split some of the monolitic tar parsing code up
into multiple functions in seperate files. Also, some code duplication
(like reading a record into memory which was implemented twice) is
removed.

<title>Fix double free in GNU tar sparse file parser</title>

<content type='text'>
The intention was to free the temporary object in addition to the list.
Since the temp pointer is also used for iterating the list, this resulted
in a double free instead of the intended.

This commit fixes the double free by replacing the recycled variable based
list free with the helper function intended to do this.

Bug found using scan-build.
