Writing into allocated memory right before calling free can be optimized
away by smart compilers. To prevent this, a volatile access must be
performed. This happens already in crypt_safe_memzero.
It was difficult to provoke GCC to remove the assignment, but I was able
to find a way to prove the theory:
* Build cryptsetup with: CFLAGS="-flto -O3 -g" ./configure --enable-static
* Create main.c:
#include <libcryptsetup.h>
int
main(void) {
char *x = crypt_safe_alloc(64);
crypt_safe_free(x);
return 0;
}
* Build the program with: gcc -O3 -flto -static -o main main.c -lcryptsetup
* Disassemble: objdump -d main
My output on an amd64 system is:
0000000000401670 <main>:

You can see that the memory allocation and explicit_bzero calls were not
optimized away. But the size assignment disappeared.
Compiling without -O3 or without -flto does not inline the calls and
keeps the assignment. Also the shared library shipped with my
distribution has the assignment.
It makes more sense to return "real" key sizes, e.g. 256 bit for
AES-XTS 128 and 256/512 bit for AES-CBC with Elephant which has
a separate key for the Elephant mode.
* Rename "BASIC COMMANDS" to "BASIC ACTIONS"
* Changed a sentence saying that luksFormat would work on unmapped luks containers, only.
* Insert 6 examples of using cryptsetup for luks containers
There is a memory leak when PBKDF2_temp > UINT32_MAX. Here,
we change return to goto out to free key.

Both BitLocker version 1 and NTFS have the same bootcode eb 52 90
so when trying to open an NTFS device user will get error message
saying that BitLocker version 1 is not supported. This patch
switches to check the superblock first to inform user that the
device is not a BITLK device.
We zero data parts of the test images to make them as small as
possible and for the latest startup key image I deleted bigger
portion of the NTFS header by accident which caused older blkid
on CentOS/RHEL 6 to not identify the NTFS filesystem on the
cleartext device.
We can't easily distinguish between a passphrase and other
protectors like recovery passphrase or startup key during
activation so we can't stop when attempted passphrase activation
fails because a binary startup key can't be conveted to UTF-16
during KDF.
Right now, cryptsetup makes an attempt to include the correct
definitions in all of its header files, allowing the headers to
compile regardless of the context in which they are included.
A few files were missed, this change fixes them by adding the minimal
set of #includes needed to get them to compile.

User have to install gettext package or manually disable translation
using --disable-nls.
Also remove links to GNU packages ftp, all of these should by provided
by native distro packaging systems.
Fixes: #591.
