SASI code removal, error handling update, bug fixes, code cleanup (#806)
Summary ov most important changes triggered by the SASI code removal:

- Removed the SASI controller code
- New controller management. There is a new controller base class AbstractController and a class ControllerManager managing the controller lifecycle. The lifecycle management was removed from rasci.cpp and is covered by unit tests.
- New device management. The DeviceFactory manages the device lifecycle instead of rascsi.cpp. The new code is covered by unit tests.
- The lifecycle managment uses C++ collections with variable size instead of arrays with hard-coded sizes.
- The ScsiController method contains most of what was previously contained in scsidev_ctrl.cpp plus the code from sasidev_ctrl.cpp that was relevant for SCSI.
- scsi_command_util contains helper methods used for identical SCSI command implementations of more than one device
- Devices know their controllers, so that the controller instance does not need to be passed to each SCSI command. This change helps to decouple the devices from the controller. The phase_handler interface is also part of this decoupling.
- Use scsi_command_exception for propagating SCSI command execution errors, This resolves issues with the previous error handling, which was based on return values and often on magic numbers.
- Removed legacy SCSI error codes, all errors are now encoded by sense_key::, asc:: and status::.
- Fixed various warnings reported with -Wextra, -Weffc++ and -Wpedantic.
- Use constructor member initialization lists (recommended for ISO C++)
- Consistently use new/delete instead of malloc/free (recommended for ISO C++), resulting in better type safety and error handling
- Replaced variable sized arrays on the stack (violates ISO C++ and can cause a stack overflow)
- Replaced NULL by nullptr (recommended for C++), resulting in better type safety
- Use more const member functions in order to avoid side effects
- The format device page can now also be changed for hard disk drives (Fujitsu M2624S supports this, for instance), not just for MOs.
- Better encapsulation, updated access specifiers in many places
- Removed unused methods and method arguments
- Fixed a number of TODOs
- Added/updated unit tests for a lot of non-legacy classes
- Makefile support for creating HTML coverage reports with lcov/genhtml

NAME
rascsi - Emulates SCSI devices using the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins
SYNOPSIS
rascsi [-F[u00AE] FOLDER] [-L[u00AE] LOG_LEVEL] [-P[u00AE] ACCESS_TO
KEN_FILE] [-R SCAN_DEPTH] [-h] [-n VENDOR:PRODUCT:REVISION] [-p[u00AE]
PORT] [-r RESERVED_IDS] [-n TYPE] [-v] [-z LOCALE] [-IDn:[u] FILE]
[-HDn[:u] FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
rascsi Emulates SCSI devices using the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
In the arguments to RaSCSI, one or more SCSI (-IDn[:u]) devices can be
specified. The number (n) after the ID or HD identifier specifies the
ID number for that device. The optional number (u) specifies the LUN
(logical unit) for that device. The default LUN is 0. For SCSI: The ID
is limited from 0-7. However, typically SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the
"initiator" (the host computer). The LUN is limited from 0-31.
RaSCSI will determine the type of device based upon the file extension
of the FILE argument.
hds: SCSI Hard Disk image (generic, non-removable)
hdr: SCSI Hard Disk image (generic, removable)
hdn: SCSI Hard Disk image (NEC GENUINE)
hdi: SCSI Hard Disk image (Anex86 HD image)
nhd: SCSI Hard Disk image (T98Next HD image)
hda: SCSI Hard Disk image (APPLE GENUINE - typically used with Mac
SCSI emulation)
mos: SCSI Magneto-optical image (XM6 SCSI MO image - typically only
used with X68000)
iso: SCSI CD-ROM image (ISO 9660 image)
For example, if you want to specify an Apple-compatible HD image on ID
0, you can use the following command:
sudo rascsi -ID0 /path/to/drive/hdimage.hda
Once RaSCSI starts, it will open a socket (default port is 6868) to al
low external management commands. If another process is using the
rascsi port, RaSCSI will terminate, since it is likely another instance
of RaSCSI. Once RaSCSI has initialized, the rasctl utility can be used
to send commands.
To quit RaSCSI, press Control + C. If it is running in the background,
you can kill it using an INT signal.
OPTIONS
-b BLOCK_SIZE
The optional block size, either 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 bytes.
Default size is 512 bytes.
-F FOLDER
The default folder for image files. For files in this folder no
absolute path needs to be specified. The initial default folder
is '~/images'.
-L LOG_LEVEL
The rascsi log level (trace, debug, info, warn, err, critical,
off). The default log level is 'info'.
-P ACCESS_TOKEN_FILE
Enable authentication and read the access token from the speci
fied file. The access token file must be owned by root and must
be readable by root only.
-R SCAN_DEPTH
Scan for image files recursively, up to a depth of SCAN_DEPTH.
Depth 0 means to ignore any folders within the default image
filder. Be careful when using this option with many sub-folders
in the default image folder. The default depth is 1.
-h Show a help page.
-n VENDOR:PRODUCT:REVISION
Set the vendor, product and revision for the device, to be re
turned with the INQUIRY data. A complete set of name components
must be provided. VENDOR may have up to 8, PRODUCT up to 16, RE
VISION up to 4 characters. Padding with blanks to the maxium
length is automatically applied. Once set the name of a device
cannot be changed.
-p PORT
The rascsi server port, default is 6868.
-r RESERVED_IDS
Comma-separated list of IDs to reserve. Pass an empty list in
order to not reserve anything. -p TYPE The optional case-insen
sitive device type (SAHD, SCHD, SCRM, SCCD, SCMO, SCBR, SCDP,
SCLP, SCHS). If no type is specified for devices that support an
image file, rascsi tries to derive the type from the file exten
sion.
-v Display the rascsi version.
-z LOCALE
Overrides the default locale for client-faces error messages.
The client can override the locale.
-IDn[:u] FILE
n is the SCSI ID number (0-7). u (0-31) is the optional LUN
(logical unit). The default LUN is 0.
FILE is the name of the image file to use for the SCSI device.
For devices that do not support an image file (SCBR, SCDP, SCLP,
SCHS) the filename may have a special meaning or a dummy name
can be provided. For SCBR and SCDP it is an optioinal priori
tized list of network interfaces, an optional IP address and
netmask, e.g. "interfaces=eth0,eth1,wlan0:inet=10.10.20.1/24".
For SCLP it is the print command to be used and a reservation
timeout in seconds, e.g. "cmd=lp -oraw %f:timeout=60".
FILE is the name of the image file to use for the SCSI device.
EXAMPLES
Launch RaSCSI with no emulated drives attached:
rascsi
Launch RaSCSI with an Apple hard drive image as ID 0 and a CD-ROM as ID
2
rascsi -ID0 /path/to/harddrive.hda -ID2 /path/to/cdimage.iso
Launch RaSCSI with a removable SCSI drive image as ID 0 and the raw de
vice file /dev/hdb (e.g. a USB stick) and a DaynaPort network adapter
as ID 6:
rascsi -ID0 -t scrm /dev/hdb -ID6 -t scdp daynaport
To create an empty, 100MB HD image, use the following command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/newimage.hda bs=512 count=204800
In case the fallocate command is available a much faster alternative to
the dd command is:
fallocate -l 104857600 /path/to/newimage.hda
