We don't need to reserve space on disk just to reserve partition
numbers. And now that partitions are aligned these blanks spots grew
from 512 bytes to 1MB which is not much but still silly.
When using anything other than classic spinning disks with 512 sectors
it is generally best to maintain some alignment with the underlying
physical sector or erase block size. The default alignment most
partitioning tools use these days is 1MB (2048 sectors). Also sometimes
qemu-img requires disk sizes to be aligned to 64KB.
The existing code arbitrarily multiplies START_SECTOR by 512 converting
from blocks/sectors to bytes, but blocks was the correct unit to begin
with. Also the secondary GPT area is not considered but that was OK
because the bogus unit conversion oversized our disks by almost 16MB.
Instead of relying on bugs properly reserve 34 sectors at each end of
the disk. (Well, we could get away with only 33 at the end since it
doesn't have a MBR but meh.)
Fix some copying issues:
- Don't set AMI permissions until it is out of the pending state
- Set name and description properly
- Handle each region in parallel, mostly (these Java apps use lots of
CPU for some reason so parallelism is limited, hence the sleeps).
Less important but also included here:
- Add run.sh and test_ami2.sh which are currently used in my release
process. The alternate test script is used because the autotest stuff
in the other script is broken right now.
This was some scheme for building packages using the SDK profile instead
of the normal target board profiles. We use catalyst instead so remove
this dead code. Ordering cleaned up slightly as well.
Previously shifts were added into the getopts loop to work around
differences between different sh implementations but that causes getopts
to end the loop early. Instead use an intermediate variable to work
around inconsistent OPTIND behavior and explicitly check for the --
separator. Tested in bash, dash, and ash.
Move all obviously safe features into the coreos profiles to further
reduce the magic in make.conf, leave the more fast-and-loose options in
make.conf to keep them kinda "special".
This fixes a bug in sbsigntool that would cause newer UEFI firmware
images to fail the signature check of the booting binary. This would
always show up on any firmware that supported multi-key signatures of
binaries.
