Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 16.04, abootimg-0.6-1 sometimes produces corrupted stage2
images during extraction of Android bootimage. I cannot share real boot
images that exhibit this problem, but here's artificial way to reproduce
it:
$ yes "KERNEL " | dd of=kern.src bs=1 count=5000
5000+0 records in
5000+0 records out
5000 bytes (5.0 kB) copied, 0.00548857 s, 911 kB/s
$ yes "RAMDISK" | dd of=ramd.src bs=1 count=5000
5000+0 records in
5000+0 records out
5000 bytes (5.0 kB) copied, 0.0186445 s, 268 kB/s
$ yes "STAGE 2" | dd of=s2.src bs=1 count=5000
5000+0 records in
5000+0 records out
5000 bytes (5.0 kB) copied, 0.0157602 s, 317 kB/s
$ hexdump -C kern.src

$ abootimg --create boot.img -k kern.src -r ramd.src -s s2.src
reading kernel from kern.src
reading ramdisk from ramd.src
reading second stage from s2.src
Writing Boot Image boot.img
$ abootimg -x boot.img
writing boot image config in bootimg.cfg
extracting kernel in zImage
extracting ramdisk in initrd.img
extracting second stage image in stage2.img
$ hexdump -C stage2.img

I've looked into sources and found that offset may be calculated incorrectly
due to wrong rounding (as you may see STAGE 2 text begins at offset 0x800 -
size of one block). You may find fix that I use in attachment.
