Antti P Miettinen 49204c116a block/partitions/efi.c: fix bound check
Use ARRAY_SIZE instead of sizeof to get proper max for label length.

Since this is just a read out of bounds it's not that bad, but the
problem becomes user-visible eg if one tries to use DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and
DEBUG_RODATA, at least with some enhancements from Hiroshi.  Of course
the destination array can contain garbage when we read beyond the end of
source array so that would be another user-visible problem.

Doug Anderson 87fc0ad2ad block/partitions/efi.c: treat size mismatch as a warning, not an error
In commit 27a7c64217 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba")
we started treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the
0xEE (GPT protective) as errors.

However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone
uses dd to copy an image from a smaller disk to a bigger disk.  Since
this case used to work (even without using force_gpt), keep it working
and treat the size mismatch as a warning instead of an error.

Paul Gortmaker 080506ad0a block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsing
Recently commit bab55417b1 ("block: support embedded device command
line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER.  However, that name
is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.

Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.

In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
 - help text was not really at all helpful.
 - index file for Documentation was not updated
 - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
 - clarify wording in source comments

Davidlohr Bueso 6b02fa59a7 partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lba
Matt found that commit 27a7c64217 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot.  The
reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA.  While most disk
partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].

Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
or 0xFFFFFFFF.  No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
other than these.

Davidlohr Bueso b05ebbbbeb partitions/efi: detect hybrid MBRs
One of the biggest problems with GPT is compatibility with older, non-GPT
systems.  The problem is addressed by creating hybrid mbrs, an extension,
or variant, of the traditional protective mbr.  This contains, apart from
the 0xEE partition, up three additional primary partitions that point to
the same space marked by up to three GPT partitions.  The result is that
legacy OSs can see the three required MBR partitions and at the same time
ignore the GPT-aware partitions that protect the GPT structures.

While hybrid MBRs are hacks, workarounds and simply not part of the GPT
standard, they do exist and we have no way around them.  For instance, by
default, OSX creates a hybrid scheme when using multi-OS booting.

In order for Linux to properly discover protective MBRs, it must be made
aware of devices that have hybrid MBRs.  No functionality is changed by
this patch, just a debug message informing the user of the MBR scheme that
is being used.

Davidlohr Bueso 3e69ac3440 partitions/efi: do not require gpt partition to begin at sector 1
When detecting a valid protective MBR, the Linux kernel isn't picky about
the partition (1-4) the 0xEE is at, but, unlike other operating systems,
it does require it to begin at the second sector (sector 1).  This check,
apart from it not being enforced by UEFI, and causing Linux to potentially
fail to detect any *valid* partitions on the disk, can present problems
when dealing with hybrid MBRs[1].

For compatibility reasons, if the first partition is hybridized, the 0xEE
partition must be small enough to ensure that it only protects the GPT
data structures - as opposed to the the whole disk in a protective MBR.
This problem is very well described by Rod Smith[1]: where MBR-only
partitioning programs (such as older versions of fdisk) can see some of
the disk space as unallocated, thus loosing the purpose of the 0xEE
partition's protection of GPT data structures.

By dropping this check, this patch enables Linux to be more flexible when
probing for GPT disklabels.

Davidlohr Bueso c2ebdc2439 partitions/efi: use lba-aware partition records
The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct
partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records.  While this
is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as
msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such
as GUID partition tables.  Furthermore, these generic partition structures
do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs.

While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and
cleaner to just replace the partition type.  This patch adds a new
'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the
next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR,
which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.

There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c.  When an AIX disk
has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer.
This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code

Ming Lei ac2e5327a5 block/partitions: optimize memory allocation in check_partition()
Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so
it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition,
especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage,
MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure.

This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct
parsed_partitions to try to address the issue:

- make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can
  fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved

- vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is
  still a bit big for kmalloc

- given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only
  allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always

The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that

(Side note: I got bit by a disk that had MSDOS and GPT partition
tables, but for some reason the MSDOS table was different from the
GPT one. I was stupid enought to disable "advanced partition
selection" in my .config, which disabled GPT partitioning and made
my btrfs pool unbootable because it couldn't find the partitions)

Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present.  However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results.  In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

Stefan Weinhuber 46e8894786 s390/partitions: make partition detection independent from DASD ioctls
In some usage scenarios it is desireable to work with disk images or
virtualized DASD devices. One problem that prevents such applications
is the partition detection in ibm.c. Currently it works only for
devices that support the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl, in other words, it only
works for devices that belong to the DASD device driver.

The information gained from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl is only for a small
set of legacy cases abolutely necessary. All current VOL1, LNX1 and
CMS1 type of disk labels can be interpreted correctly without this
information, as long as the generic HDIO_GETGEO ioctl works and
provides a correct disk geometry.

This patch makes the ibm.c partition detection as independent as
possible from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl. Only the following two cases are
still restricted to real DASDs:
- An FBA DASD, or LDL formatted ECKD DASD without any disk label.
- An old style LNX1 label (without large volume support) on a disk
  with inconsistent device geometry.

Anton Altaparmakov 97387e3baa LDM: Fix reassembly of extended VBLKs.
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided
into fragments, each with its own VBLK header.  Our LDM implementation
generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these
fragments must be assembled before further processing.

Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK
header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the
header is subtracted twice from each fragment.  Also the total
length of the reassembled VBLK is calculated incorrectly.
