This lets us cope with block device drivers that don't implement
HDIO_GETGEO. Fixes Ubuntu bug #1237519.
* grub-core/osdep/linux/hostdisk.c (sysfs_partition_path): New
function.
(sysfs_partition_start): Likewise.
(grub_util_find_partition_start_os): Try sysfs_partition_start
before HDIO_GETGEO.
Copying the themes directory in grub-shell isn't
parallel-test-friendly and breaks on the second test when the source
directory is read-only (as in "make distcheck"). Instead, add a
hidden --themes-directory option to grub-mkrescue et al, and use it
in grub-shell.
* docs/grub-dev.texi (Font Metrics): Exclude @image command from DVI
builds, since we don't have an EPS version of font_char_metrics.png.
Add leading dot to image extension per the Texinfo documentation.
* util/grub-gen-asciih.c: Include FT_SYNTHESIS_H rather than
<freetype/ftsynth.h>, fixing build with FreeType 2.5.1.
* util/grub-gen-widthspec.c: Likewise.
* util/grub-mkfont.c: Likewise.
Shell version of grub-install called grub-setup which resolved
install device name and called main setup routine. C version of
grub-install calls main setup routine directly, which leads
to the error:
grub2-install: info: grub-bios-setup --verbose --force --skip-fs-probe --directory='/boot/grub2/i386-pc' --device-map='/boot/grub2/device.map' '(hd2)'.
grub2-install: info: reading /boot/grub2/i386-pc/boot.img.
grub2-install: info: reading /boot/grub2/i386-pc/core.img.
grub2-install: info: root is `(null)', dest is `(hd2)'.
grub2-install: info: Opening dest.
grub2-install: info: drive = -1.
grub2-install: error: disk `(hd2)' not found.
Move resolving of destination device name into main setup routine
so it is done consistently in both cases.
-DUSE_ASCII_FALLBACK is already added by font snippets.
-mexplicit-relocs isn't needed is compiler/assemblera are
configured properly.
If they're not we shouldn't attempt to fix it by ourselves.
Binary compare between before and after shows no difference.
This was the only instance of "library" in core config. A bug was
reported that -fno-stack-protector wasn't passed to it. Instead of
figuring out why it failed just remove this construction used
needlessly.
Add a new timeout_style environment variable and a corresponding
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE configuration key for grub-mkconfig. This
controls hidden-timeout handling more simply than the previous
arrangements, and pressing any hotkeys associated with menu entries
during the hidden timeout will now boot the corresponding menu entry
immediately.
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=<non-empty> + GRUB_TIMEOUT=<non-zero> now
generates a warning, and if it shows the menu it will do so as if
the second timeout were not present. Other combinations are
translated into reasonable equivalents.
A bit tricky because this function has to continue to work without
heap for short strings. Fixing prealloc to 32 arguments is reasonable
but make all stack references use 32-bit offset rather than 8-bit one.
So split va_args preparsing to separate function and put the prealloc
into the caller.
references to mdadm from otherwise generic code.
(grub_util_exec_pipe): Likewise.
(grub_util_exec_pipe_stderr): Likewise.
* grub-core/osdep/unix/getroot.c (grub_util_pull_lvm_by_command):
This function calls vgs, not mdadm; adjust variable names
accordingly.
Add grub_util_disable_fd_syncs call to turn grub_util_fd_sync calls into
no-ops, and use it in programs that copy files but do not need to take
special care to sync writes (grub-mknetdir, grub-rescue,
grub-mkstandalone).
On my laptop, this reduces partmap_test's runtime from 1236 seconds to
204 seconds.
