Skip PAX global headers

2020-04-22T12:22:44+00:00

Tar archives can contain set two kinds of PAX headers: - local headers that modify the attributes of the next file - global headers that set defaults for all files The later is used "... not widely used", according to tar(5) and has been deliberately not implemented. Some programs (e.g. git-archive) *do* generate them (in the case of git, it stores the commit hash). This commit adds a code path that skips a PAX global header entirely and resumes tar parsing, instead of erroneusly reporting it as an entry. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Remove some configure time sizeof checks

2020-04-17T21:52:52+00:00

In libtar, the sizeof time_t checked when trying to store a time value. It is pointless using the preprocessor here, as we can simply do an if (sizeof(time_t) < ...) check and the compiler will take care optimizing away one or the other branch. After changing the libtar check and the corresponding unit tests, the sizeof check can be removed from configure.ac, along with other unused sizeof checks. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Cleanup: split read_header.c in libtar.a

2020-04-17T21:31:32+00:00

Simply moving the pax header decoding to a separate file and splitting out the common helper functions should be a good start. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Add hard link support to gensquashfs and tar2sqfs

2019-12-22T21:07:44+00:00

In libtar, set a special flag if the header is actually a hard link. In tar2sqfs, create a hard link node and skip the rest for hard links. Also refues to set the root attributes from a hard link, it may refere to a node that we have missed earlier, there is nothing else that we can do here. In fstree_from_file, add a "link" command for adding hard links. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Make the PAX header parser more strict

2019-12-13T12:52:33+00:00

Actually parse the length field and insist it matches the line length, then use the length field to advance to the next line. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer
