block: remove genhd.h

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h
header that includes it. So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h
and remove genhd.h entirely.

block: declare all partition detection routines in check.h

There is no good reason to include one header per partition type in
core.c. Instead move the prototypes for the detection routins to
check.h, and remove all now empty headers in block/partitions/.

partitions/efi: Fix partition name parsing in GUID partition entry

GUID partition entry defined to have a partition name as 36 UTF-16LE
code units. This means that on big-endian platforms ASCII symbols
would be read with 0xXX00 efi_char16_t character code. In order to
correctly extract ASCII characters from a partition name field we
should be converted from 16LE to CPU architecture.

The problem exists on all big endian platforms.

All these files have some form of the usual GPLv2 or later boilerplate.
Switch them to use SPDX tags instead.

block: Use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))

To increase compiler portability there are several macros defined
in <linux/compiler.h> for various gcc __attribute((..)) constructs.
I've made sure gcc these specific were replaced with the right
macro and an #include <linux/compiler.h> was placed where needed.

I love emacs, but these settings for coding style are annoying when trying

that.

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.

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.
