base: Remove support for the VTOC8 partitioning scheme

The removal of the sparc64 support in February 2020 obsoleted the
VTOC8 partitioning scheme as no other FreeBSD platform makes use
of it. Moreover, the code is bitrotting as nothing defines e. g.
LOADER_VTOC8_SUPPORT any more and, thus, should go now, too. With
this change, the following commits are reverted as far as VTOC8
is concerned and parts haven't already previously been deleted
along with prior sparc64 removals:
094fcb157d4c98211899cf09d06e2cf19149b7e0
a7d366e9589c95feda6f3bc78c59c6355d51f126
ba8d50d08b9df4e8213f9a6997ff6792ecebcd9b

The alignment example d9711c28efc4ec89ba5ea11f8fd63e9d0a7fc81b
added to the VTOC8 section of gpart.8 is folded into the MBR one.

This should finally conclude the deorbit of sparc64-specific bits.

We had joy, we had fun
we ran Unix on a Sun.
But that source and the song
of FreeBSD have all gone.

McKuen for the "Seasons in the Sun" lyrics.


# 7cc42f6d 30-Sep-2020 Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org>

Do a sweep and remove most WARNS=6 settings

Repeating the default WARNS here makes it slightly more difficult to
experiment with default WARNS changes, e.g. if we did something absolutely
bananas and introduced a WARNS=7 and wanted to try lifting the default to
that.

Drop most of them; there is one in the blake2 kernel module, but I suspect
it should be dropped -- the default WARNS in the rest of the build doesn't
currently apply to kernel modules, and I haven't put too much thought into
whether it makes sense to make it so.


# c78cd98b 08-Jun-2020 Oleksandr Tymoshenko <gonzo@FreeBSD.org>

Add VHDX support to mkimg(1)

VHDX is the successor of Microsoft's VHD file format. It increases
maximum capacity of the virtual drive to 64TB and introduces features
to better handle power/system failures.

VHDX is the required format for 2nd generation Hyper-V VMs.

Allow building mkimg as cross-tool

For linux the mmap offset must also be page aligned, and we
need to disable macros like __FBSDID()

Change the linux osdep_uuidgen() to use more portable gettimeofday().

# 42997114 17-Oct-2016 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

o Provide a private definition for UUIDs (mkimg_uuid_t) because
UUIDs are not portable.
o Move mkimg_uuid() to a new file and merge both gpt_uuid_enc()
and vhd_uuid_enc() into a single mkimg_uuid_enc() that lives
in the same file.
o Move the OS-specific implementation of generating a UUID to
osdep_uuidgen() and provide the implementations for FreeBSD,
macOS and Linux.
o Expect the partitioning scheme headers to be found by having
a search to the directory in which the headers live. This
avoids conflicts on non-FreeBSD machines.

mkimg: bump version to 20151211 after r292082

mkimg has had a number of functional additions after the last time the
version was incremented. Do so now, to r292082's commit date, so that
users can determine what is supported.

# 8b37e7ca 20-Jun-2015 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Microsoft Azure expects the creator OS to be "Wi2k" and not "FBSD".
The image is not accepted for provisioning otherwise. Bump the
VHD creator tool version and the version of mkimg to signify our
success in provisioning.

Note that this also imapcts the dynamic VHD images.

# e6679c1a 21-Feb-2015 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Add the -c option for specifying the capacity of the disk image. When
a capcity is given, no partitions are required. When no partitions are
given, no scheme needs to be specified either. This makes it possible
to create an entirely empty disk image. To add an empty partitioning
table, specify the scheme.

Bump the version to 20150222.


# 0f49f146 11-Dec-2014 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

The size of the first level reference count table is given in terms of the
number of clusters it occupies. It's not the number of entries in the table,
as it is for the L1 cluster table.

For small images, the two are the same. With the unit tests based on small
images, this change has therefore no effect on the unit test. For larger
images (like the FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE image), this gives a discrepancy that
actually shows up when running "qemu-img check".

Bump the version number of mkimg.

While here, fix a white-space bug.

# 2c83b36f 03-Oct-2014 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Add mkimg_chs() for those schemes that need the LBA broken down into
cylinder, head and track numbers. Return ~0U for these values when
mkimg wasn't given both -T and -H (i.e. no geometry) or the cylinder
would be larger than the provided maximum.

Use mkimgs_chs() for the EBR, MBR and PC98 schemes to fill in the
appropriate fields. Make sure to use a "rounded" size so that the
partition is always a multiple of the track size. We reserved the
room for it in the metadata callback so that's a valid thing to
do.

Bump the mkimg version number.
While doing that again: have mkimg.o depend on the Makefile so that
a version change triggers a rebuild as needed.


# 852a0932 01-Oct-2014 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Improve performance of mking(1) by keeping a list of "chunks" in memory,
that keeps track of a particular region of the image. In particular the
image_data() function needs to return to the caller whether a region
contains data or is all zeroes. This required reading the region from
the temporary file and comparing the bytes. When image_data() is used
multiple times for the same region, this will get painful fast.

With a chunk describing a region of the image, we now also have a way
to refer to the image provided on the command line. This means we don't
need to copy the image into a temporary file. We just keep track of the
file descriptor and offset within the source file on a per-chunk basis.

For streams (pipes, sockets, fifos, etc) we now use the temporary file
as a swap file. We read from the input file and create a chunk of type
"zeroes" for each sequence of zeroes that's a multiple of the sector
size. Otherwise, we allocte from the swap file, mmap(2) it, read into
the mmap(2)'d memory and create a chunk representing data.

For regular files, we use SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA to handle sparse files
eficiently and create a chunk of type zeroes for holes and a chunk of
type data for data regions. For data regions, we still compare the bytes
we read to handle differences between a file system's block size and our
sector size.

After reading all files, image_write() is used by schemes to scribble in
the reserved sectors. Since this never amounts to much, keep this data
in memory in chunks of exactly 1 sector.

The output image is created by looking using the chunk list to find the
data and write it out to the output file. For chunks of type "zeroes"
we prefer to seek, but fall back to writing zeroes to handle pipes.
For chunks of type "file" and "memoty" we simply write.

The net effect of this is that for reasonably large images the execution
time drops from 1-2 minutes to 10-20 seconds. A typical speedup is about
5 to 8 times, depending on partition sizes, output format whether in
input files are sparse or not.

Bump version to 20141001.


# fb2f6c6c 27-Sep-2014 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

While here, use explicit fputc() calls to skip a line in the output.
This to avoid having to hunt for extra '\n' characters in the printf
format strings.

# 38501a46 22-Sep-2014 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Add support for QCOW version 1. Version 2 is partially implemented.
And because of that, it's entirely disabled for now. Both versions
are similar enough that a single header definition works for both
of them. The only "diverting" side-effect is that the union of the
two is larger than the official V1 header.

What this means for our V1 support is that we can't put the L1 table
adjacent to the V1 header (i.e. at offset 0x30 in the file), unless
we revert to hackery and klugery. Let's not. Instead, we align the L1
table at the cluster boundary. This is in line with the V2 layout and
perfectly ok for V1 anyway (ok -- as far as I've seen so far).
Due to the alignment, our V1 image seems to be 1 cluster larger than
the V1 image created by qemu-img (on average).

Compression of the clusters is not supported at this time.

Add VHD support to mkimg(1). VHD is used by Xen and Microsoft's Hyper-V

otherwise.

1. The output file that was previously written is now called the raw format.
2. Add the vmdk output format to create VMDK images.

When the format is not given, the raw output format is assumed.


# a5eb4ea3 29-Mar-2014 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Add mkimg, a utility for making disk images from raw partition contents.
The partitioning scheme can be one of the schemes supported by gpart.
