PATCH 1/1 fsck.cramfs: Fix bus error on broken file system.

The utility fsck.cramfs is prone to a bus error on file systems for big endian systems with non-standard header sizes. While calculating the crc32 checksum, it does not properly handle a possible offset for bootcodes, resulting in out of boundary access of mmap'ed area.

You can trigger the issue with the following commands:

$ mkdir -p cramfs-poc/root/subdir
$ cd cramfs-poc
$ mkfs.cramfs -p -N big root cramfs
$ echo -ne \\00\\x4c | dd of=cramfs bs=1 seek=518 count=2 conv=notrunc
$ fsck.cramfs cramfs

This is the second and much cleaner version of the initial patch. We can easily use the offset of mmap, which heavily reduces the manual buf + start calculation.

mmap() offset should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE. The function test_super() is able to set "start" to PAD_SIZE (=512). It does not seem correct.

on failed mmap() it tries to use open+read to get "buf" and it reads it from the begin of the file. It seems incompatible with mmap() now. I guess we need seek(start) there too.

This version avoids mmap offset again and properly sets lseek offset.

Update to last patch: read lacked a proper cast to (unsigned char *).
