The following are two use cases from Rajat Jain <rajatjain@juniper.net>:
1) We have a board that boots Linux and this board itself can be plugged
into one of different chassis types. We need to pass different
parameters to the kernel based on the "CHASSIS_TYPE" information
that is passed by the bios in the DMI/SMBIOS tables.
2) We may have a USB stick that can go into multiple boards, and the
exact kernel to be loaded depends on the machine information
(PRODUCT_NAME etc) passed via the DMI.

Recent versions of binutils dropped support for the a.out and COFF
formats on sparc64 targets. Since the boot loader on sparc64 is
supposed to be an a.out binary and the a.out header entries are
rather simple to calculate in our case, we just write the header
ourselves instead of relying on external tools to do that.

In order to be able to read from and write to model-specific registers,
two new modules are added. They are i386 specific, as the cpuid module.
rdmsr module registers the command rdmsr that allows reading from a MSR.
wrmsr module registers the command wrmsr that allows writing to a MSR.
wrmsr module is disabled if UEFI secure boot is enabled.
Please note that on SMP systems, interacting with a MSR that has a scope
per hardware thread, implies that the value only applies to the
particular cpu/core/thread that ran the command.
Also, if you specify a reserved or unimplemented MSR address, it will
cause a general protection exception (which is not currently being
handled) and the system will reboot.

Add a new disk driver called obdisk for IEEE1275 platforms. Currently
the only platform using this disk driver is SPARC, however other IEEE1275
platforms could start using it if they so choose. While the functionality
within the current IEEE1275 ofdisk driver may be suitable for PPC and x86, it
presented too many problems on SPARC hardware.
Within the old ofdisk, there is not a way to determine the true canonical
name for the disk. Within Open Boot, the same disk can have multiple names
but all reference the same disk. For example the same disk can be referenced
by its SAS WWN, using this form:
/pci@302/pci@2/pci@0/pci@17/LSI,sas@0/disk@w5000cca02f037d6d,0
It can also be referenced by its PHY identifier using this form:
/pci@302/pci@2/pci@0/pci@17/LSI,sas@0/disk@p0
It can also be referenced by its Target identifier using this form:
/pci@302/pci@2/pci@0/pci@17/LSI,sas@0/disk@0
Also, when the LUN=0, it is legal to omit the ,0 from the device name. So with
the disk above, before taking into account the device aliases, there are 6 ways
to reference the same disk.
Then it is possible to have 0 .. n device aliases all representing the same disk.
Within this new driver the true canonical name is determined using the the
IEEE1275 encode-unit and decode-unit commands when address_cells == 4. This
will determine the true single canonical name for the device so multiple ihandles
are not opened for the same device. This is what frequently happens with the old
ofdisk driver. With some devices when they are opened multiple times it causes
the entire system to hang.
Another problem solved with this driver is devices that do not have a device
alias can be booted and used within GRUB. Within the old ofdisk, this was not
possible, unless it was the original boot device. All devices behind a SAS
or SCSI parent can be found. Within the old ofdisk, finding these disks
relied on there being an alias defined. The alias requirement is not
necessary with this new driver. It can also find devices behind a parent
after they have been hot-plugged. This is something that is not possible
with the old ofdisk driver.
The old ofdisk driver also incorrectly assumes that the device pointing to by a
device alias is in its true canonical form. This assumption is never made with
this new driver.
Another issue solved with this driver is that it properly caches the ihandle
for all open devices. The old ofdisk tries to do this by caching the last
opened ihandle. However this does not work properly because the layer above
does not use a consistent device name for the same disk when calling into the
driver. This is because the upper layer uses the bootpath value returned within
/chosen, other times it uses the device alias, and other times it uses the
value within grub.cfg. It does not have a way to figure out that these devices
are the same disk. This is not a problem with this new driver.
Due to the way GRUB repeatedly opens and closes the same disk. Caching the
ihandle is important on SPARC. Without caching, some SAS devices can take
15 - 20 minutes to get to the GRUB menu. This ihandle caching is not possible
without correctly having the canonical disk name.
When available, this driver also tries to use the deblocker #blocks and
a way of determining the disk size.
Finally and probably most importantly, this new driver is also capable of
seeing all partitions on a GPT disk. With the old driver, the GPT
partition table can not be read and only the first partition on the disk
can be seen.

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.

Import zstd-1.3.6 from upstream [1]. Only the files need for decompression

I included the script used to import zstd-1.3.6 below at the bottom of the

Upstream zstd commit hash: 4fa456d7f12f8b27bd3b2f5dfd4f46898cb31c24
Upstream zstd commit name: Merge pull request #1354 from facebook/dev
Zstd requires some posix headers, which it gets from posix_wrap.
This can be checked by inspecting the .Po files generated by automake,
which contain the header dependencies. After building run the command
`cat grub-core/lib/zstd/.deps-core/*.Po` to see the dependencies [3].
The only OS dependencies are:
- stddef.h, which is already a dependency in posix_wrap, and used for size_t
by lzo and xz.
- stdarg.h, which comes from the grub/misc.h header, and we don't use in zstd.
All the types like uint64_t are typedefed to grub_uint64_t under the hood.
The only exception is size_t, which comes from stddef.h. This is already the
case for lzo and xz. I don't think there are any cross-compilation concerns,
because cross-compilers provide their own system headers (and it would already
be broken).

This module provides shim lock verification for various kernels
if UEFI secure boot is enabled on a machine.
It is recommended to put this module into GRUB2 standalone image
(avoid putting iorw and memrw modules into it; they are disallowed
if UEFI secure boot is enabled). However, it is also possible to use
it as a normal module. Though such configurations are more fragile
and less secure due to various limitations.
If the module is loaded and UEFI secure boot is enabled then:
- module itself cannot be unloaded (persistent module),
- the iorw and memrw modules cannot be loaded,
- if the iorw and memrw modules are loaded then
machine boot is disabled,
- GRUB2 defers modules and ACPI tables verification to

"F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is flash-friendly file system which was merged
into Linux kernel v3.8 in 2013.
The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start, takes into
account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as
solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards).
F2FS was designed on a basis of a log-structured file system approach, which
remedies some known issues of the older log structured file systems, such as
the snowball effect of wandering trees and high cleaning overhead. In addition,
since a NAND-based storage device shows different characteristics according to
its internal geometry or flash memory management scheme (such as the Flash
Translation Layer or FTL), it supports various parameters not only for
configuring on-disk layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning
algorithm.", quote by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS.

The reboot function calls machine_fini() and then reboots the system.
Currently it lives in lib/ which means it gets compiled into the
reboot module which lives on the heap.
In a following patch, I want to free the heap on machine_fini()
though, so we would free the memory that the code is running in. That
obviously breaks with smarter UEFI implementations.
So this patch moves it into the core. That way we ensure that all
code running after machine_fini() in the UEFI case is running from
memory that got allocated (and gets deallocated) by the UEFI core.
