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.
Signed-off-by: Arnaud Ferraris <arnaud.ferraris@collabora.com>
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%).

- When the manual partitioning page exists, it reacts to
changes in a bunch of models; these models can be changed
repeatedly from the choice page.
- the manual partitioning page really only needs to deal with
the relevant selections at the moment it is instantiated.
- After the BootLoader model is reset, if a bootloader location
has been selected before, try to find it in the (now-reset)
model to preserve the selection.
- 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.
- This was commented out to combat the crash in device->type()
- I believe the crash was caused by double-deletion, which was
fixed in 2092ec3c9a by not re-
parenting an immutable copy of something.
- Restore the button-fix, since we need that to keep the
*create* button in-sync with the selected partition.

- Make some methods that are called mostly as slots, actual slots,
instead of going through extra lambdas.
- Use QOverload<>::of for disambiguation instead of homebrew casts.
- 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*).
- Can't re-parent across threads easily
- If device is made by immutableDeviceCopy(), then it's still owned by the
PartitionCoreModule; giving it away to the widget is not a good idea.
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

- Add a (superfluous, since they don't have their own signals or slots)
Q_OBJECT macro to the VG jobs, to silence a Transifex warning (this
does make sure that the tool knows about the context for the translated
messages)
- Store changes to the selected swap-choice when the combobox changes
- Use that member instead of dereferencing the combobox
This avoids nullptr crashes when the combobox isn't even created
(e.g. when there is only one swap choice).
- drop the localized comparisons; that's just confusing
- warn when no default FS is set (then use ext4)
- fix case-insensitive fallback; it used fsType, which was
set to Unknown in the for loop.
- Using the assignment-operator just generates blank lines.
- Using QLog with a log-level avoids the cDebug()-style special
handling of warnings and errors (useless here, but may as well
fix code style).
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 chosing the "Replace partition" option, free space is not handled
like any partition. In order to apply the custom partition layout in

In some cases where a custom partition layout is used, use of this
layout is mandatory (this can be the case when using a read-only rootfs
which is updated by block-cpying an image file to it).
For these cases, the user must not be able to change the partition
layout, therefore we have to disable manual partitioning.
In order to stay consistent with current behaviour, manual partitioning
is still enabled by default. It will only be disabled if the partition
module's config file contains the corresponding option set to "false".

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

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.
- Handle legacy and modern config, mixed-configs,
- Translate strings to enum values,
- Default and warn as appropriate.
- Doesn't **do** anything with the config, though.
- Running lsblk and mount for debugging purposes can be
skipped when the debugging is going to be suppressed anyway.
This will speed things up just a little for regular users.
- 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.

- If there is a partition already (newly) created, then pass that
to the dialog so that it can use the setings previously applied
(e.g. mount point and flags).
- This avoids the case where you create or format a partition,
then click on it again to edit it and the previous settings are lost.
- Setup the lsit of flags consistently, by providing the available
and to-be-checked flags.
- In CreatePartitionDialog, assume that ~0 is all the flags.
This file is full of helper functions for the partition-editing
dialogs. At first it was just mount-point helper functions,
but there is other functionality that can be refactored.
- 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.
- Use the desired (future) flags, if set, to initialize the
flags checkboxes. If there are no future flags set, this
returns active flags as before.
- This fixes the situation where editing a partition, changing
flags, then editing it *again* re-starts with the original
flags instead of the modified flags.
- 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).
- Avoids case where you edit a partition with a mountpoint
set; previously, calling setText() would update the text
but leave the selected index unchanged (usually 0), so that
later calling selectedMountPoint() would return empty.
- Move to one place which handles the standard mount points
- While here, introduce explicit "(no mount point)" string
into the combo box. This is prep-work for issue #951.
Scenario is this: you have no suitable installation devices on
your system (everything is mounted, or HDD has died), click through
to partition page, where you have all the buttons available, but no
devices in the list. The following actions then cause a crash:
- clicking "back"
- clicking any button
Prevent that:
- you can click "back", but if there is no device selected
nothing happens to the device state (no nullptr deref,
and no crash)
- button code is now more resilient to this scenario
- buttons are hidden until a device is available, so you
can't even click on them to trigger the code.
- this applies to new partitions; existing documentation erroneously
said this happens with Replace as well,
- follow up on Andrius manual-partition PR with documentation that
manual mode doesn't switch to this FS when editing existing partitions.
Resolves issue where 'linuxswap' is translated to 'Linux-Swap',
for instance. FileSystem::name() provides a translated name,
not an untranslated one.
This should move to KPMCore.

- deleteLater() doesn't like nullptr (produces a warning, but is harmless)
- reparenting across threads doesn't work, comment on that but leave

since the labels change not only in response to translation

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.
