[PATCH v2 3/3] initramfs: introduce do_readxattrs()

[Roberto Sassu]

This patch adds support for an alternative method to add xattrs to files in
the rootfs filesystem. Instead of extracting them directly from the ram
disk image, they are extracted from a regular file called .xattr-list, that
can be added by any ram disk generator available today.

.xattr-list can be generated by executing:

$ getfattr --absolute-names -d -P -R -e hex -m - \
      <file list> | xattr.awk -b > ${initdir}/.xattr-list

where the content of the xattr.awk script is:

#! /usr/bin/awk -f
{
  if (!length($0)) {
    printf("%.10x%s\0", len, file);
    for (x in xattr) {
      printf("%.8x%s\0", xattr_len[x], x);
      for (i = 0; i < length(xattr[x]) / 2; i++) {
        printf("%c", strtonum("0x"substr(xattr[x], i * 2 + 1, 2)));
      }
    }
    i = 0;
    delete xattr;
    delete xattr_len;
    next;
  };
  if (i == 0) {
    file=$3;
    len=length(file) + 8 + 1;
  }
  if (i > 0) {
    split($0, a, "=");
    xattr[a[1]]=substr(a[2], 3);
    xattr_len[a[1]]=length(a[1]) + 1 + 8 + length(xattr[a[1]]) / 2;
    len+=xattr_len[a[1]];
  };
  i++;
}
