A number of functions in libntfs-3g are generally useful, but are tied to
extended attributes support and are not included when the library is
built on platforms without extended attributes support.
This proposal updates libntfs-3g to always include these functions.
The only tricky part is dealing with the XATTR_CREATE and XATTR_REPLACE
flags. These flags are defined in <sys/xattr.h>, so they must be
redefined on platforms without extended attributes support.

- Update documentation for COLLATION_RULES
- Document how ntfs_names_full_collate() compares names
- Update comments and DEBUG code to reflect that ntfs_names_full_collate()
always access 'upcase', even in CASE_SENSITIVE mode
- Remove unneeded assignments to 'c1' and 'c2' in IGNORE_CASE mode

On Linux, the functions in the dlopen API are in libdl. However, on
FreeBSD, libdl doesn't exist and the functions are instead in libc.

The bad cluster list may be updated in ntfsresize and ntfsfix. Though
technically it is organized as a sparse file, Windows does not set
the sparse flags. Do the same to avoid problems with third-party
packages.
Although ntfs_log_trace() is defined to a no-op in non-DEBUG builds,
ntfs_attr_name_get() is not. This function performs a string conversion
and a memory allocation, so it is nice to have the call to it compiled
out when not needed.

It was possible for ntfs_attr_name_get() to set errno due to a wide
character string that could not be converted to a multibyte string. This
caused ntfs_delete() to fail.
Fix by checking for a nonzero return value specifically from
ntfs_attr_lookup(), rather than assuming that nothing else sets errno.

Switch to the standard autoconf AC_HEADER_MAJOR macro which takes care
of the ugly details like when to use mkdev.h and when to use sysmacros.h.
(requires <sys/types.h> to be included)
Also include these in all files that use major/minor/makedev funcs.

The upper case value for 0x1d79 is 0xa77d, so the difference is 0x8a04,
which overflows in the table which defines the computation of upper case
values. Rewriting this difference as -0x75fc leads to the same result
in an upper case table truncated to two bytes, and this avoid the
compiler warning.
On Solaris/OpenIndiana, the major and minor fields in st_rdev have to
be represented on 14 bits and 18 bits respectively. They must have
the same representation on 32-bit and 64-bit builds as the kernel
and the library do not know the word size of each other.
On Solaris/OpenIndiana, use the macroes makedev(), major() and minor()
from <sys/mkdev.h>. Those from <sys/sysmacros.h> are inappropriate for
current builds.
When a plugin cannot be initialized a ELIBBAD error is returned on Linux
and OpenIndiana. As this is not a Posix error code, use ENOEXEC on
systems which do not define ELIBBAD.
The new ntfsrecover option --kill-fast-restart can be used to delete
the Windows fast-restart indication before playing the log. This can
lead to data loss, but is needed before mounting a partition improperly
unmounted from Windows when remounting on Windows is inconvenient.
If the remove_hiberfile mount option is present, explicitly disallow
the library from switching to a read-only mount. This is only to avoid
confusion, as the remove_hiberfile is processed before taking the
decision to fall back to read-only.
ntfsrecover -f -v <log file> receives a SIGSEGV because of trying to
read memory outside allocated buffer because of no sanity checks on
restart page header values. This happens on an empty $LogFile because
of no basic checks present. Attached patch adds basic checks similar
to those inside logfile library and allows tool to exit with more
suitable message.

In the mailing list discussion we came to the conclusion that there
doesn't seem to be any reason to keep these declarations separate since
they address the same issue, namely libntfs-3g's tolerance for bad
Unicode data in filenames and other UTF-16 strings in the file system,
so merge the two defines into the new define ALLOW_BROKEN_UNICODE.
Windows filenames may contain invalid UTF-16 sequences (specifically
broken surrogate pairs), which cannot be converted to UTF-8 if we do
strict conversion.
This patch enables encoding broken UTF-16 into similarly broken UTF-8 by
encoding any surrogate character that don't have a match into a separate
3-byte UTF-8 sequence.
This is "sort of" valid UTF-8, but not valid Unicode since the code
points used for surrogate pair encoding are not supposed to occur in a
valid Unicode string... but on the other hand the source UTF-16 data is
also broken, so we aren't really making things any worse.
This format is sometimes referred to as WTF-8 (Wobbly Translation
Format, 8-bit encoding) and is a common solution to represent broken
UTF-16 as UTF-8.
It is a lossless round-trip conversion, i.e converting from broken
UTF-16 to "WTF-8" and back to UTF-16 yields the same broken UTF-16
sequence. Because of this property it enables accessing these files
by filename through ntfs-3g and the ntfsprogs (e.g. ls -la works as
expected).
To disable this behaviour you can pass the preprocessor/compiler flag
'-DALLOW_BROKEN_SURROGATES=0' when building ntfs-3g.
These tools were originally developed for running on Windows and later
ported to libntfs-3g. This patch makes them similar to other ntfsprogs
tools, dropping the native Windows interfaces and using libntfs-3g on
all platforms.
There is no change in usage or supported features, only the command
names have changed.
These tools were developped before the ntfsprogs were merged into ntfs-3g,
redesigning them like the ntfsprogs make the code simpler.
Note : at this stage secaudit and usermap cannot be built any more.
Prepare merging ntfsrecover.h into logfile.h by adding a usn field to
RESTART_PAGE_HEADER. As this changes the record size, ignore the new
field in existing code.
User extended attributes should only be set on files and directories,
not on symlinks, sockets, devices, etc. For safety they are also
forbidden on metadata files, but should be allowed on the root
directory. For files based on reparse points, requests are made
to the plugin to determine the type.
Kernel cacheing of file attributes is usually not used by ntfs-3g,
because it has defects when dealing with hard linked files and directory
permission checks. Kernel cacheing is however possible when using
lowntfs-3g and not using Posix ACLs.
