This function creates a collection of self-describing refcount
structures (including a new refcount table) at the end of a qcow2 image
file. Optionally, these structures can also describe a number of
additional clusters beyond themselves; this will be important for
preallocated truncation, which will place the data clusters and L2
tables there.
For now, we can use this function to replace the part of
alloc_refcount_block() that grows the refcount table (from which it is
actually derived).

This patch adds two new parameters to the preallocate() function so we
will be able to use it not just for preallocating a new image but also
for preallocated image growth.
The offset parameter allows the caller to specify a virtual offset from
which to start preallocating. For newly created images this is always 0,
but for preallocating growth this will be the old image length.
The new_length parameter specifies the supposed new length of the image
(basically the "end offset" for preallocation). During image truncation,
bdrv_getlength() will return the old image length so we cannot rely on
its return value then.

This adds support for using LUKS as an encryption format
with the qcow2 file, using the new encrypt.format parameter
to request "luks" format. e.g.
# qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \
-f qcow2 -o encrypt.format=luks,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \
test.qcow2 10G
The legacy "encryption=on" parameter still results in
creation of the old qcow2 AES format (and is equivalent
to the new 'encryption-format=aes'). e.g. the following are
equivalent:
# qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \
-f qcow2 -o encryption=on,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \
test.qcow2 10G
# qemu-img create --object secret,data=123456,id=sec0 \
-f qcow2 -o encryption-format=aes,encrypt.key-secret=sec0 \
test.qcow2 10G
With the LUKS format it is necessary to store the LUKS
partition header and key material in the QCow2 file. This
data can be many MB in size, so cannot go into the QCow2
header region directly. Thus the spec defines a FDE
(Full Disk Encryption) header extension that specifies
the offset of a set of clusters to hold the FDE headers,
as well as the length of that region. The LUKS header is
thus stored in these extra allocated clusters before the
main image payload.
Aside from all the cryptographic differences implied by
use of the LUKS format, there is one further key difference
between the use of legacy AES and LUKS encryption in qcow2.
For LUKS, the initialiazation vectors are generated using
the host physical sector as the input, rather than the
guest virtual sector. This guarantees unique initialization
vectors for all sectors when qcow2 internal snapshots are
used, thus giving stronger protection against watermarking
attacks.

This introduces an "encrypt.format" option, which will later be
joined by a number of other "encrypt.XXX" options. The use of
a "encrypt." prefix instead of "encrypt-" is done to facilitate
mapping to a nested QAPI schema at later date.

Passing a byte offset, but sector count, when we ultimately
want to operate on cluster granularity, is madness. Clean up
the external interfaces to take both offset and count as bytes,
while still keeping the assertion added previously that the
caller must align the values to a cluster. Then rename things
to make sure backports don't get confused by changed units:
instead of qcow2_discard_clusters() and qcow2_zero_clusters(),
we now have qcow2_cluster_discard() and qcow2_cluster_zeroize().
The internal functions still operate on clusters at a time, and
return an int for number of cleared clusters; but on an image
with 2M clusters, a single L2 table holds 256k entries that each
represent a 2M cluster, totalling well over INT_MAX bytes if we
ever had a request for that many bytes at once. All our callers
currently limit themselves to 32-bit bytes (and therefore fewer
clusters), but by making this function 64-bit clean, we have one
less place to clean up if we later improve the block layer to
support 64-bit bytes through all operations (with the block layer
auto-fragmenting on behalf of more-limited drivers), rather than
the current state where some interfaces are artificially limited
to INT_MAX at a time.

We've already improved discards to operate efficiently on the tail
of an unaligned qcow2 image; it's time to make a similar improvement
to write zeroes. The special case is only valid at the tail
cluster of a file, where we must recognize that any sectors beyond
the image end would implicitly read as zero, and therefore should
not penalize our logic for widening a partial cluster into writing
the whole cluster as zero.
However, note that for now, the special case of end-of-file is only
recognized if there is no backing file, or if the backing file has
the same length; that's because when the backing file is shorter
than the active layer, we don't have code in place to recognize
that reads of a sector unallocated at the top and beyond the backing
end-of-file are implicitly zero. It's not much of a real loss,
because most people don't use images that aren't cluster-aligned,
or where the active layer is a different size than the backing
layer (especially where the difference falls within a single cluster).
Update test 154 to cover the new scenarios, using two images of
intentionally differing length.
While at it, fix the test to gracefully skip when run as
./check -qcow2 -o compat=0.10 154
since the older format lacks zero clusters already required earlier
in the test.

Treat plain zero clusters differently from allocated ones, so that
we can simplify the logic of checking whether an offset is present.
Do this by splitting QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO into two new enums,
QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_PLAIN and QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_ALLOC.
I tried to arrange the enum so that we could use
'ret <= QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_PLAIN' for all unallocated types, and
'ret >= QCOW2_CLUSTER_ZERO_ALLOC' for allocated types, although
I didn't actually end up taking advantage of the layout.
In many cases, this leads to simpler code, by properly combining
cases (sometimes, both zero types pair together, other times,
plain zero is more like unallocated while allocated zero is more
like normal).

blk_new_open() is a convenience function that processes flags rather
than QDict options as a simple way to just open an image file.
In order to keep it convenient in the future, it must automatically
request the necessary permissions. This can easily be inferred from the
flags for read and write, but we need another flag that tells us whether
to get the resize permission.
We can't just always request it because that means that no block jobs
can run on the resulting BlockBackend (which is something that e.g.
qemu-img commit wants to do), but we also can't request it never because
most of the .bdrv_create() implementations call blk_truncate().

The way that attaching bs->file worked was a bit unusual in that it was
the only child that would be attached to a node which is not opened yet.
Because of this, the block layer couldn't know yet which permissions the
driver would eventually need.
This patch moves the point where bs->file is attached to the beginning
of the individual .bdrv_open() implementations, so drivers already know
what they are going to do with the child. This is also more consistent
with how driver-specific children work.
For a moment, bdrv_open() gets its own BdrvChild to perform image
probing, but instead of directly assigning this BdrvChild to the BDS, it
becomes a temporary one and the node name is passed as an option to the
drivers, so that they can simply use bdrv_open_child() to create another
reference for their own use.
This duplicated child for (the not opened yet) bs is not the final
state, a follow-up patch will change the image probing code to use a

The metadata overlap checks introduced in a40f1c2add help detect
corruption in the qcow2 image by verifying that data writes don't
overlap with existing metadata sections.
The 'refcount-block' check in particular iterates over the refcount
table in order to get the addresses of all refcount blocks and check
that none of them overlap with the region where we want to write.
The problem with the refcount table is that since it always occupies
complete clusters its size is usually very big. With the default
values of cluster_size=64KB and refcount_bits=16 this table holds 8192
entries, each one of them enough to map 2GB worth of host clusters.
So unless we're using images with several TB of allocated data this
table is going to be mostly empty, and iterating over it is a waste of
CPU. If the storage backend is fast enough this can have an effect on
I/O performance.
This patch keeps the index of the last used (i.e. non-zero) entry in
the refcount table and updates it every time the table changes. The
refcount-block overlap check then uses that index instead of reading
the whole table.
In my tests with a 4GB qcow2 file stored in RAM this doubles the
amount of write IOPS.

The qcow2_make_empty() function is reached during 'qemu-img commit',
in order to clear out ALL clusters of an image. However, if the
image cannot use the fast code path (true if the image is format
0.10, or if the image contains a snapshot), the cluster size is
larger than 512, and the image is larger than 2G in size, then our
choice of sector_step causes problems. Since it is not cluster
aligned, but qcow2_discard_clusters() silently ignores an unaligned
head or tail, we are leaving clusters allocated.
Enhance the testsuite to expose the flaw, and patch the problem by
ensuring our step size is aligned.

The cache-clean-interval option of qcow2 only works on Linux. However
we allow setting it in other systems regardless of whether it works or
not.
In those systems this option is not simply a no-op: it actually
invalidates perfectly valid cache tables for no good reason without
freeing their memory.
This patch forbids using that option in non-Linux systems.
