Currently, an image generated with 'grub-mkimage -n' causes an error when
read with 'readelf -a':

readelf: Warning: type: 0x1275, namesize: 0x00000008, descsize: 0x0000002c, alignment: 4
This is because the descsz of the CHRP note is set to
sizeof (struct grub_ieee1275_note)
which is the size of the entire note, including name and elf header. The
desczs should contain only the contents, not the name and header sizes.
Set the descsz instead to 'sizeof (struct grub_ieee1275_note_desc)'
Resultant readelf output:
Displaying notes found at file offset 0x00010710 with length 0x0000002c:

So far as I can tell this issue has existed for as long as the note
generation code has existed, but I guess nothing really checks descsz.

Currently the string functions grub_strtol(), grub_strtoul(), and
grub_strtoull() don't declare the "end" pointer in such a way as to
require the pointer itself or the character array to be immutable to the
implementation, nor does the C standard do so in its similar functions,
though it does require us not to change any of it.
The typical declarations of these functions follow this pattern:
long
strtol(const char * restrict nptr, char ** restrict endptr, int base);
Much of the reason for this is historic, and a discussion of that
follows below, after the explanation of this change. (GRUB currently
does not include the "restrict" qualifiers, and we name the arguments a
bit differently.)
The implementation is semantically required to treat the character array
as immutable, but such accidental modifications aren't stopped by the
compiler, and the semantics for both the callers and the implementation
of these functions are sometimes also helped by adding that requirement.
This patch changes these declarations to follow this pattern instead:
long
strtol(const char * restrict nptr,
const char ** const restrict endptr,
int base);
This means that if any modification to these functions accidentally
introduces either an errant modification to the underlying character
array, or an accidental assignment to endptr rather than *endptr, the
compiler should generate an error. (The two uses of "restrict" in this
case basically mean strtol() isn't allowed to modify the character array
by going through *endptr, and endptr isn't allowed to point inside the
array.)
It also means the typical use case changes to:
char *s = ...;
const char *end;
long l;
l = strtol(s, &end, 10);
Or even:
const char *p = str;
while (p && *p) {
long l = strtol(p, &p, 10);
...
}
This fixes 26 places where we discard our attempts at treating the data
safely by doing:
const char *p = str;
long l;
l = strtol(p, (char **)&ptr, 10);
It also adds 5 places where we do:
char *p = str;
while (p && *p) {
long l = strtol(p, (const char ** const)&p, 10);
...
/* more calls that need p not to be pointer-to-const */
}
While moderately distasteful, this is a better problem to have.
With one minor exception, I have tested that all of this compiles
without relevant warnings or errors, and that /much/ of it behaves
correctly, with gcc 9 using 'gcc -W -Wall -Wextra'. The one exception
is the changes in grub-core/osdep/aros/hostdisk.c , which I have no idea
how to build.
Because the C standard defined type-qualifiers in a way that can be
confusing, in the past there's been a slow but fairly regular stream of
churn within our patches, which add and remove the const qualifier in many
of the users of these functions. This change should help avoid that in
the future, and in order to help ensure this, I've added an explanation
in misc.h so that when someone does get a compiler warning about a type
error, they have the fix at hand.
The reason we don't have "const" in these calls in the standard is
purely anachronistic: C78 (de facto) did not have type qualifiers in the
syntax, and the "const" type qualifier was added for C89 (I think; it
may have been later). strtol() appears to date from 4.3BSD in 1986,
which means it could not be added to those functions in the standard
without breaking compatibility, which is usually avoided.
The syntax chosen for type qualifiers is what has led to the churn
regarding usage of const, and is especially confusing on string
functions due to the lack of a string type. Quoting from C99, the
syntax is:
declarator:
pointer[opt] direct-declarator
direct-declarator:
identifier
( declarator )
direct-declarator [ type-qualifier-list[opt] assignment-expression[opt] ]
...
direct-declarator [ type-qualifier-list[opt] * ]
...
pointer:
* type-qualifier-list[opt]
* type-qualifier-list[opt] pointer
type-qualifier-list:
type-qualifier
type-qualifier-list type-qualifier
...
type-qualifier:
const
restrict
volatile
So the examples go like:
const char foo; // immutable object
const char *foo; // mutable pointer to object
char * const foo; // immutable pointer to mutable object
const char * const foo; // immutable pointer to immutable object
const char const * const foo; // XXX extra const keyword in the middle
const char * const * const foo; // immutable pointer to immutable
// pointer to immutable object
const char ** const foo; // immutable pointer to mutable pointer
// to immutable object
Making const left-associative for * and right-associative for everything
else may not have been the best choice ever, but here we are, and the
inevitable result is people using trying to use const (as they should!),
putting it at the wrong place, fighting with the compiler for a bit, and
then either removing it or typecasting something in a bad way. I won't
go into describing restrict, but its syntax has exactly the same issue
as with const.
Anyway, the last example above actually represents the *behavior* that's
required of strtol()-like functions, so that's our choice for the "end"
pointer.

The grub-editenv create command will wrongly overwrite /boot/grub2/grubenv
with a regular file if grubenv is a symbolic link. But instead, it should
create a new file in the path the symlink points to.
This lets /boot/grub2/grubenv be a symlink to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv
even when they're different mount points, which allows grub2-editenv to be
the same across platforms (i.e. UEFI vs BIOS).
For example, in Fedora the GRUB EFI builds have prefix set to /EFI/fedora
(on the EFI System Partition), but for BIOS machine it'll be /boot/grub2
(which may or may not be its own mountpoint).
With this patch, on EFI machines we can make /boot/grub2/grubenv a symlink
to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv, and the same copy of grub-set-default will
work on both kinds of systems.
Windows doesn't implement a readlink primitive, so the current behaviour is

The grub-mkconfig and 10_linux scripts by default attempt to use a UUID to
set the root kernel command line parameter and the $root GRUB environment
variable.
The former can be disabled by setting the GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID variable
to "true", but there is currently no way to disable the latter.
The generated grub config uses the search command with the --fs-uuid option
to find the device that has to be set as $root, i.e:
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ...
This is usually more reliable but in some cases it may not be appropriate,
so this patch introduces a new GRUB_DISABLE_UUID variable that can be used
to disable searching for the $root device by filesystem UUID.
When disabled, the $root device will be set to the value specified in the
device.map as found by the grub-probe --target=compatibility_hint option.
When setting GRUB_DISABLE_UUID=true, the GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID and
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID variables will also be set to "true" unless
these have been explicitly set to "false".
That way, the GRUB_DISABLE_UUID variable can be used to force using the
device names for both GRUB and Linux.

the BIOS Boot Partition.

Upgrade Gnulib files to 20190105.
It's much easier to maintain GRUB's use of portability support files
from Gnulib when the process is automatic and driven by a single
configuration file, rather than by maintainers occasionally running
gnulib-tool and committing the result. Removing these
automatically-copied files from revision control also removes the
temptation to hack the output in ways that are difficult for future
maintainers to follow. Gnulib includes a "bootstrap" program which is
designed for this.
The canonical way to bootstrap GRUB from revision control is now
"./bootstrap", but "./autogen.sh" is still useful if you just want to
generate the GRUB-specific parts of the build system.
GRUB now requires Autoconf >= 2.63 and Automake >= 1.11, in line with
Gnulib.
Gnulib source code is now placed in grub-core/lib/gnulib/ (which should
not be edited directly), and GRUB's patches are in
grub-core/lib/gnulib-patches/. I've added a few notes to the developer
manual on how to maintain this.

I tried to be consistent with the existing logging practices of the

While many classes of data can be provided by early images, the

If undeclared, this will default to a set of common microcode image

These separate configurations allow the distribution and user to

function. Return early in case nls was disabled. That way the compiler
will throw away unreachable code, no need to put preprocessor
conditionals everywhere to avoid warnings about unused code.
Fix memleak by freeing srcf and dstf.
Convert tabs to spaces in moved code.

Add support for multiple, shared, early initrd images. These early
images will be loaded in the order declared, and all will be loaded
before the initrd image.
While many classes of data can be provided by early images, the
immediate use case would be for distributions to provide CPU
microcode to mitigate the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities.
There are two environment variables provided for declaring the early
images.
* GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_STOCK is for the distribution declare
images that are provided by the distribution or installed packages.
If undeclared, this will default to a set of common microcode image
names.
* GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_CUSTOM is for user created images. User
images will be loaded after the stock images.
These separate configurations allow the distribution and user to
declare different image sets without clobbering each other.
This also makes a minor update to ensure that UUID partition labels
stay disabled when no initrd image is found, even if early images are
present.
This is a continuation of a previous patch published by Christian
Hesse in 2016:

The grub_mkimage_load_image function (commit 7542af6, mkimage: refactor a bunch
of section data into a struct.) introduces a build regression on SPARC:

This can cause an issue where GRUB is trying to display both a text and
graphical menu on the display at the same time, resulting in a flickering
effect when e.g. scrolling quickly through a menu (LP: #1752767).
Revert for now while we look for a better solution for the original issue.
This reverts commit 52ef7b23f5.
