Use ARRAY_SIZE instead of sizeof to get proper max for label length.
Since this is just a read out of bounds it's not that bad, but the
problem becomes user-visible eg if one tries to use DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and
DEBUG_RODATA, at least with some enhancements from Hiroshi. Of course
the destination array can contain garbage when we read beyond the end of
source array so that would be another user-visible problem.Signed-off-by: Antti P Miettinen

In commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba")
we started treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the
0xEE (GPT protective) as errors.However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone
uses dd to copy an image from a smaller disk to a bigger disk. Since
this case used to work (even without using force_gpt), keep it working
and treat the size mismatch as a warning instead of an error.Reported-by: Josh Triplett

Matt found that commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The
reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk
partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
other than these.[1] http://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/GPT.htm#GPTPT

One of the biggest problems with GPT is compatibility with older, non-GPT
systems. The problem is addressed by creating hybrid mbrs, an extension,
or variant, of the traditional protective mbr. This contains, apart from
the 0xEE partition, up three additional primary partitions that point to
the same space marked by up to three GPT partitions. The result is that
legacy OSs can see the three required MBR partitions and at the same time
ignore the GPT-aware partitions that protect the GPT structures.While hybrid MBRs are hacks, workarounds and simply not part of the GPT
standard, they do exist and we have no way around them. For instance, by
default, OSX creates a hybrid scheme when using multi-OS booting.In order for Linux to properly discover protective MBRs, it must be made
aware of devices that have hybrid MBRs. No functionality is changed by
this patch, just a debug message informing the user of the MBR scheme that
is being used.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

When detecting a valid protective MBR, the Linux kernel isn't picky about
the partition (1-4) the 0xEE is at, but, unlike other operating systems,
it does require it to begin at the second sector (sector 1). This check,
apart from it not being enforced by UEFI, and causing Linux to potentially
fail to detect any *valid* partitions on the disk, can present problems
when dealing with hybrid MBRs[1].For compatibility reasons, if the first partition is hybridized, the 0xEE
partition must be small enough to ensure that it only protects the GPT
data structures - as opposed to the the whole disk in a protective MBR.
This problem is very well described by Rod Smith[1]: where MBR-only
partitioning programs (such as older versions of fdisk) can see some of
the disk space as unallocated, thus loosing the purpose of the 0xEE
partition's protection of GPT data structures.By dropping this check, this patch enables Linux to be more flexible when
probing for GPT disklabels.[1] http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/hybrid.html#reactions

Per the UEFI Specs 2.4, June 2013, the starting lba of the partition that
has the EFI GPT (0xEE) must be set to 0x00000001 - this is obviously the
LBA of the GPT Partition Header.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct
partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records. While this
is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as
msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such
as GUID partition tables. Furthermore, these generic partition structures
do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs.While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and
cleaner to just replace the partition type. This patch adds a new
'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the
next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR,
which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

UEFI 2.3.1D will include a change to the spec language mandating that a
GPT header must be greater than *or equal to* the size of the defined
structure. While verifying that this would work on Linux, I discovered
that we're not actually checking the minimum bound at all.The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that
on a malformed header (with header_size of 0), we won't actually verify
any data.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix printk warning]

This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
UUIDs. This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present. However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results. In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren
