- Starting to centralize utility code for partitioning into
libcalamares instead of scattered and weirdly shared between
modules.
- This particular commit breaks compiling the modules, though.
- The sub-directories under libcalamares (e.g. Utils, ..)
all live in namespace CalamaresUtils (well, except for Logger).
The services (e.g. subdirs other than utils/) live in their
own nested namespace, so partitioning should go into
CalamaresUtils::Partition for consistency.
Instead of relying on a module-specific implementation, use the new
PartitionSize class for storing partition sizes.

In order to prepare for future refactoring of the PartSize class, move
the bytesToSectors() function to libcalamares in the CalamaresUtils
namespace.

- This small header file contained a few unrelated typedefs.
Move those typedefs to the classes they relate to. This
**does** mean that some consumers need to #include something
else instead.
- Use type names more consistently.
Editorial: why are **pages** responsible for creating the jobs?
This commit adds several checks while reading the configuration of the
`partition` module, in case the partition layout configuration is
misformed. If an error is encountered, an message is printed to the
console and the module reverts to the default partition layout.
Checks are also added when implementing the partition layout, in case a
problem occurs that couldn't be anticipated (for example, when a
partition size is in %, checking its absolute value require knowing the
total device size, which is not the case when the configuration is
being read).

Every call of `ParseStringSize` is replaced by using an instance of the
`PartUtils::PartSize` class.
This commit also removes the now-unused previous size parsing functions.

In order to maintain consistency, and make use, create a new PartSize
class in the PartUtils namespace, which inherits from NamedSuffix for
easier parsing and handling of size strings.
The switch to using this class instead of the previous functions will be
done in a follow-up commit.

- KDE neon ships a post-3.3.0 KPMCore, with deprecations, but not yet
the KPMCore 4 API, so add another API-version check to handle the
deprecations. Keeps warnings down.
When using a custom partition layout with partition sizes in %, it can
be useful to set an upper limit to the partition size.
For instance, using a 20% size for the `/` partition will create a 24G
partition on a 120GB drive, but a 200GB partition on a 1TB drive, which
is not useful, and could be avoided by setting a maximum partition size.
This commit adds the `maxSize` parameter (with a default value of 100%).

- clear() signals modelReset(), which is true, but inconvenient
when we do a bunch of changes afterwards. Block signals,
and rely on own signaling when all of the changes are done.
- Keep blocking signals while updating the model, since the row
appends otherwise trigger a change in the connected combo box.
- For unsafe installations (compile-time option), make sure
things fail before partitions are actually written, unless
the other option is also turned off.
- This is a compile-time choice, and off by default. This may be useful
for developers that need to get through installation to a different
partition on their root drive.
- Add an option to avoid actually doing unsafe things. This is an extra
safeguard; you need to turn on one and turn off the other option to
really be unsafe.
As requested, this commit adds a new configuration option to the
partition.conf file, name `efiSystemPartitionSize`.
When this option is absent, the default size of 300MiB will be used.

In order to allow the use of these functions across the whole partition
module and keep all partition size-related functions in the same
namespace, this commit moves them to PartUtils.

In order to be able to parse partition size strings using the same
functions across the partition module, the parseSizeString() function is

- Provide a convenience method that names a Partition* with the
best human-readable name we can find (worst-case, spit out a
pointer representation which will at least help figure out
the identity of the Partition*).
Due to changes to the FileSsytem::typeForName() function, more
processing is needed to deal with locales and different cases.
This is done by refactoring the findFS() function, initially located in
the PartitionViewStep class, and making it available to the whole module.
Additionnally, more checks have been implemented regarding the use of
global storage in the PartitionLayout class, and the filesystem types
now use the correct FileSystem::Type, as requested.

When using the default partition layout (only a `/` partition), the
filesystem used was ext4, ignoring the `defaultFileSystemType`
configuration option.
This commit fixes this bug, so that any supported filesystem can now be
used for the default partitioning scheme.

When setting the size of a partition without indicating the unit, two
problems occur:
- the size is parsed as an integer, not as a string, hence the
configuration parsing fails
- the size parser doesn't recognize the fact that the size has no units
and defaults to 100%
This patch fixes the configuration parsing as well as the size string
parsing.

When a partition doesn't have a minimum size in the partition layout
configuration, it defaults to using 100% of the available space.
This patch fixes this error by setting the minimum partition size to 0
when the attribute has been omitted.

This patches add new methods to both PartitionLayout and
PartitionCoreModule classes which apply the partition layout to the
available drive space.
In addition, the partition creation code from PartitioinActions is
removed to call the newly created methods instead, thus applying the
custom partition layout when the "Erase whole disk" and "Replace
partition" choices are selected.

As we move some of the partition creation code away from
PartitionActions, we will need the bytesToSectors function. Rather than
copying it, we export it in the PartitionActions namespace, so that
other classes can use it.

In order to keep the partition layout during calamares' execution, we
add a PartitionLayout object instance to PartitionCoreModule. This class
will therefore be used to initialize the PartitionLayout object and
interact with it thoughout the program's execution.
When no partition layout is present in the config file, we initialize
the layout with a single ext4 partition mounted on '/', as it was
previously done.

In order to use a custom partition layout in the partition module, we
need to write this layout in the module's config file, and store it into
a dedicated object.
As it doesn't look appropriate to extend an existing class with layout
information, we create a new PartitionLayout class, which will be used
to parse the layout from the config file and keep it in memory.

- The noload option prevents journal re-play (so it's an extra-
strong read-only) but is only applicable to ext3 and ext4.
Check the FS type before mounting; other FS types don't
accept -o noload and will fail to mount.
- This only applies to legacy (non-EFI) BIOS systems, and
adds the FlagBoot to whatever is already set for the root
filesystem, and only when autopartitioning the device.

FIXES: #1046CLOSES: #1049
Suggested by aliveafter1000: having a default value, and then
filling in the default in one place it is used and not others,
is weird. Instead of dropping the one use, remove the default
value: partition flags are important enough to be explicit.
- While winnowing devices, the zram and nullptr cases
were mixed together; split them, for the sake of
logging more accurately.
- While here, fix up some coding-style issues.
- Q_ASSERT doesn't work in constexpr functions because it's not
- May as well calculate bytes at compile-time, no need to give
the runaround via number-of-MiB
- The choice of swap needs to be handled in more places,
so make the enum available in the partition module core instead
of just inside the choice page.

This fixes the crash by calling the model-reset first, then
refreshing. Previously, the destructors that do the work
were still being called in the wrong order.
FIXES#1019
- The ResetHelper only finalized changes to the module on
destruction, but calls to refresh() assumed it was already
done. This leads to crashes when refresh() uses an intermediate
state of the model.
Introduce extra helpers, and rename refresh() to avoid calling the
old implementation from any code. The new helper just creates and
destroys a ResetHelper, before creating and destroying an object
that calls the new refreshAfterModelChange().
FIXES#1019
ESP == boot. at best this is duplicated information, at worst kpmcore may
implode if you try to set a boot flag since that is technically an MBR
type flag and means nothing within the context of GPT where ESP is the flag
to set.
having ESP as active flag AND then trying to set ESP means nothing is
set since kpmcore will think ESP is already set (it is listed as active
after all). this ultimately meant that nothing was set since there was
no delta between the requested flags and the already active flags.
- Reported by Bill Auger (I think), a 15GiB disk wouldn't hold
a 8.9GiB root plus 4GiB swap -- due to 10% overprovisioning
of swap, plus the 2.1GiB fudge factor.
- Calculating first free sector had an off-by-one so that
partitioning would start at 2049.
- EFI boot partition grew 1 sector larger than desired.
- While here, align everything to 1MiB boundaries as well.
FIXES#1008
- If we're changing the flags to enable EFI boot, then that's
enough to satisfy the (future) EFI bootability check.
This is for issue #622 as well. Fixes#884.
- PartitionInfo maintains information on "what is desired" for
a given Partition. Now we can set desired flags, alongside
the flags already supported by Partition (where activeFlags()
gives you the flags currently set on that partition).
This is preparatory work for making the available-space check consistent with
what the partition module will allow for installation. Right now, the check
for available space will allow a mounted drive, even /, to satisfy the check.
Address an old FIXME in
PartitionCoreModule::scanForEfiSystemPartitions(): Check the FlagEsp on
the Partition object (that KPMcore has been supporting since 2.1.0)
instead of running sgdisk.
The manual partitioning setup was already requiring the user to check
the ESP flag for the EFI System Partition. Now the autopartitioning also
sets it directly (a one-line change). The sgdisk call in the bootloader
module is thus no longer necessary (it was only a workaround because
kpmcore < 2.1.0 did not support FlagEsp), so remove that snippet.
This fixes configurations such as NVME disks where splitting boot_device
into boot_device[-1:] and boot_device[:-1] is not the correct split
(because the partition gets a 2-letter suffix) (reported by demmm on
IRC).
