The adduser package is 'important', and while it is often installed,
we can't guarantee that it will always be there. A required package,
or a package which is dragged in by a required package, such as
libuuid1, shouldn't depend on an 'important' package since that would
implicitly make it be required, which shouldn't be done unless
absolutely necesary.
So we replace the call to adduser with the lower-level useradd and
groupadd programs. They are part of the passwd package, which is
required to be on all Debian systems.

Some people are still running ancient Debian distributions, such as
woody, with a 2.4 kernel, and they want to be able to use the
e2fsck-static package on backlevel systems.
It turns out that we can't just statically link against glibc anymore,
since glibc now uses thread-local storage everywhere. So we now build
e2fsck-static using dietlibc.

When compiling with diet libc, <sys/types.h> must be included in order
to define the types used in asm/types.h. Strange choice, but
workable. This doesn't cause much problems for e2fsprogs except
blkid/tst_types.h, which needed a #include of <sys/types.h>.

When compiling with dietlibc, sys/syscall.h isn't supported; as of
dietlibc 0.30, it exists but it references a non-existent asm/unistd.h
header file. So we have to test for its existence and avoid using it
in lib/uuid/gen_uuid.c if it is not supported.

On 64-bit systems (or anything with sizeof(long) > sizeof(int)), we
sometimes get error codes passed to error_message which have been cast
from an (int) to an (unsigned int). This almost always happens if
you're using libgssapi_krb5, which returns an error code which is less
than 0 but is returned in an (unsigned int).
For example, -1765328377L gets cast to 2529638919, which is
0x96c73a07, not 0xffffffff96c73a07, so error_message() fails to find a
matching error table.
When error_message() then calls the error_table_name() function to get a
name to use in the "unknown code" message, it gets a correct value back.
This happens because error_table_name() drops most of the higher bits of
the parameter it's passed before doing anything else with it (& 077777777f,
or & 0xffffff). If we did the same thing in error_message(), we wouldn't
have a problem there, either.

Now that e2fsck tries to backup the primary superblock to the backups
when the feature sets ar different, it's important when tune2fs writes
out a changed superblock, that we filter out the
EXT3_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_RECOVER feature to the backup superblocks, since
it will be removed from the primary superblock either when the
filesystem is mounted uncleanly or when journal is replayed.

This addresses a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted
filesystem can be corrupted in such a way that a program using
libext2fs will allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can
lead to either a crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow
crash. No known exploits exist, but main concern is where an
untrusted user who possesses privileged access in a guest Xen
environment could corrupt a filesystem which is then accessed by the
pygrub program, running as root in the dom0 host environment, thus
allowing the untrusted user to gain privileged access in the host OS.

The heuristics in blkid/devname.c probe_all() for scanning whole disks
with no partitions assume that a device name with no digit on the end
will always be present as a delineator, i.e.:
sda
sda1
sdb
sdc
In this case, when sdc is seen, it's the clue to go back and scan sdb.
However, for something like:
sda
sda1
sdb
loop0
this falls down, and sdb is never scanned.
(thanks to Karel Zak for pointing this out).

We cannot merge a removed directory entry to just arbitrary previous
directory entry. The previous entry must be in the same block. So
really bad things can happen when are deleting the first directory
entry in a block where the last directory entry in the previous
directory block is not in use. We fix this bug by checking to see if
the current entry is not the first one in the block before trying to
merge it to the previous entry.

In raw mode (-r), e2image appends an extra byte to the image-file's
end if the last block requires a sparse write. Consequently, the
resulting image-file is one byte larger than the original in
size. This patch fixes the problem by seeking to one less than the
given offset, so that the byte write does not overflow into the next
block.
This problem can be reproduced by doing an e2image -r dev image-file
and comparing the original and resulting image sizes. This assumes the
image is sparse at the end. For my tests, I created a 100MB sparse
image with two files.
