Now populates the block size (physical) before
the hidden sector determination function runs.
The naming of block/sector can be very confusing in
nwipe. So I have created a device_phy_sector_size
in the drive context, so we have
->device_sector_size // logical sector size
->device_phys_sector_size // physical sector size
->device_block_size // Usually the same as logical
size but could be increased by nwipe to encompass
multiple logical sectors, i.e a block of sectors
This fixes an issue where nwipe detects a discrepancy
between the number of sectors reported by hdparm and
nwipe's own HPA/DCO functions that were reporting the
same values, using number of sectors based on 512 byte
sectors but disagreed with the number of sectors
generated from libata which was reporting the number of
sectors based on 4096 byte sectors.
This has been fixed by always calculating the number
of sectors returned by libata using 512 bytes per sector
so a direct comparison can be made to data from hdparm
& nwipe's HPA/DCO functions.
These changes solve three issues. The first
issue was that it wasn't obvious that the
PDFs are only created once you press return
to exit after all the wipes have finished. It
is now explicitly stated in the footer message if
PDFs are enabled.
It also now specifies the logfile name on the
footer if the user has specified a log file as a
command line option. If no logfile is specified
then STDOUT is displayed.
If the user specified --PDFreportpath=noPDF on the
command line, prior to this commit it had no affect.
This is now fixed so that it disables PDF's irrespective
of what is in nwipe.conf. i.e command line options
override the entries in nwipe.conf
If the user has specified a --PDFreportpath=noPDF=/some/path
then PDF's are enabled irrespective of the value in nwipe.conf
This fixes incorrect footer text being displayed when
Enable customer/company preview is enabled and the user
select a field to be edited, completes the editing and
returns to the preview to select A for accept. Only
problem was A=Accept wasn't listed on the footer.
Fix the config help messages.
Some of the config help messages that show the purpose of the keys were inconsistent or not updating correctly when going back to the previous menu. Now fixed.
Make smart page titles consistent with page 1
Should now read
Page 1 - Erasure Status
Page 2 - Smart Data
Page 3 - Smart Data
and not as previously
Page 1 - Erasure Status

Smart Data - Page 3

If the user had blanked the screen, the autopoweroff
and nowait options did not work. Instead they paused
nwipe on completion of the wipe/s waiting for the b
key to be pressed which reactivated compute_stats()
function who's output indicates whether any wipes were
still active.
This was fixed so that compute_stats() is always
active while wipes are in progress, so that the
nwipe_gui_status() function will exit when all wipe
threads have completed even if the screen has been
blanked.
Added mmcblk device type MMC
Changed log message from "USB bridge, no pass-through support" to "Smart data unavailable" as no smart data could be caused by a non USB device such as mmcblk as well as USB devices with no ATA pass through and other devices that smartctl does not detect.
Added the abbreviation MMC for mmcblk devices such as SD and
microSD cards and some low budget laptops.
Changed log message from "USB bridge, no pass-through support"

The definition of the newly used _POSIX_SOURCE affects preprocessing of the time.h. As result on RHEL7 (possibly 6 as well) the timespec structure is not defined.
Move the definition of the off64_t using int64_t bellow the include stdint.h, which is actually defining it.
Without change wrong order is breaking the build on RHEL7/8/9.
