2019-07-24Enable largefile supportMatt Turner
Requires that config.h be included before other headers, since the macro _FILE_OFFSET_BITS changes the definitions of things like 'struct stat'. I chose to simply include it at the top of every C file and at immediately after the double-inclusion guards of every header.

2019-07-24libtar: more lenient tar checksum verificationDavid Oberhollenzer
Until now, the tar checksum verification simply copied the header, recomputed the checksum and compared it byte-for-byte with the original. However, not all implementations store the checksum the same way. For instance, git-archive generates tar balls that use the same format as for other octal numbers. This patch makes the checksum verification more lenient by parsing the checksum from the header and comparing it with the computed value instead of copying the entire block and insisting on byte-for-byte equivalence. The result is better interoperabillity with existing tools and perhaps slightly faster processing since the block doesn't have to be copied.

2019-07-16cleanup: move error handling into read_retryDavid Oberhollenzer
If read_retry fails to read the expected amount of data (EOF or otherwise), it is almost always an error. This commit renames read_retry to read_data and moves error handling into the function, making a lot of error handling code redundant.

2019-07-16cleanup: move error handling into write_retryDavid Oberhollenzer
If write_retry fails to write everything, it is *always* an error. This commit renames write_retry to write_data and moves error handling into the function, making a lot of error handling code redundant. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2019-07-03tar writer: replace PAX headers with GNU extensionsDavid Oberhollenzer
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.

2019-07-03Fix: don't blindly strcpy() the tar header nameDavid Oberhollenzer
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. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2019-07-01cleanup: split tar code up, remove some duplicationsDavid Oberhollenzer
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. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2019-07-01Fix double free in GNU tar sparse file parserDavid Oberhollenzer
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.

2019-06-30Add support for repacking condensed sparse filesDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit broadly does the following things: - Rename and move the sparse mapping structure to libutil - Add a function to the data writer for writing condensed versions of sparse files, given the mapping. - This shares code with the already existing function for regular files. The shared code is moved to a common helper function. - Add support to tar2sqfs for repacking sparse files. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
