Surpass 1 TiB disk addressing limit. Note: there are no plans to handle
the 2 TiB disk limit in GRUB Legacy, since that would need considerable
rework. If you have >2TiB disks, use GRUB 2 instead.
* grub/asmstub.c (biosdisk): Add unsigned qualifier to `sector'.
* stage2/bios.c (biosdisk): Likewise.
* stage2/disk_io.c (rawread, devread, rawwrite, devwrite): Likewise.
* stage2/shared.h (rawread, devread, rawwrite, devwrite): Likewise.
* lib/device.c (get_drive_geometry): Replace BLKGETSIZE with
BLKGETSIZE64.
linker and add it to LDFLAGS if possible. Build ID causes
objcopy to generate huge binary files.
* aclocal.m4 (grub_PROG_OBJCOPY_ABSOLUTE): Use LDFLAGS when
linking, so that build ID doesn't break the test.
* stage1/Makefile.am: Preserve LDFLAGS, use stage1_exec_LDFLAGS.
* docs/grub.texi: Changed the license term to the GNU Free
Documentation License 1.2.
* docs/multiboot.texi: Reformatted to show the license term
and the version number explicitly.
* docs/fdl.texi: New file.
* docs/Makefile.am (grub_TEXINFOS): Added fdl.texi.
* grub/asmstub.c (get_diskinfo): Toggle "kern.geom.debugflags" sysctl
before opening a device for writing.
* util/grub-install.in: Devices don't have this "r" prefix anymore.
* stage2/builtins.c (setup_func): Specify the size of DEVICE to
grub_strncat instead of a strange number 256. Reported by Vitaly
Fertman <vitaly@namesys.com>.
* stage2/fsys_xfs.c (next_dentry): Use arrays of arrays instead of
arrays of pointers for USUAL, to avoid read-only strings. Reported
by Sven Wegener <swegener@gentoo.org>.
* lib/device.c (get_drive_geometry): Use ST.ST_SIZE instead of
ST.ST_BLOCKS to get the total number of sectors, because st_blocks
is not the same if it is a sparse file.
* stage2/fsys_fat.c (fat_mount): Ignore the 3rd bit of a media
descriptor, because some BIOSes overwrite this value, according
to the storage mode (e.g. USB Floppy or USB HDD).
* stage2/builtins.c (install_func): If DEST_DRIVE is a hard
disk, enable the workaround in Stage 1 by replacing the jmp
with double nop's.
* stage1/stage1.h (STAGE1_BOOT_DRIVE_CHECK): New macro.
(STAGE1_BOOT_DRIVE_MASK): Removed.
* stage1/stage1.S (boot_drive_check): New label. This implements
a different workaround for buggy BIOSes which don't pass boot
drive correctly. This is effective for BIOSes which pass a value
without the seventh bit (0x80).
(boot_drive_mask): Removed.
* grub/asmstub.c (console_current_color): Make it global as
declared.
(grub_stage2): Tweak the declaration and the definition of the
nested function doit.
* docs/internals.texi (Internals): Changed to an appendix.
* docs/grub.texi (@setchapternewpage): Changed to odd from off.
(@contents): Moved to the beginning.
(Future): Changed to an appendix.
This is a big change on saving a default entry. This change
makes it possible to set up a quite robust system using GRUB.
Now we do not use the second sector of Stage 2 to store an
entry number but use the file /boot/grub/default. This file
must be generated by grub-set-default, although this file is
plain-text.
* util/grub-set-default.in: New file.
* util/grub-install.in (grub_set_default): New variable.
Use /grub instead of /boot/grub on OpenBSD as well as NetBSD.
Run grub-set-default to make a default file.
* util/Makefile.am (sbin_SCRIPTS): Added grub-set-default.
* stage2/stage2.c (run_menu): Change the fallback handling to
support multiple fallback entries.
(cmain): Likewise. Also, get a saved entry from a default file
if possible, before reading a config file.
* stage2/shared.h (DEFAULT_FILE_BUF): New macro.
(DEFAULT_FILE_BUFLEN): Likewise.
(CMDLINE_BUF): Set to DEFAULT_FILE_BUF + DEFAULT_FILE_BUFLEN.
(MENU_BUFLEN): Set to 0x8000 + PASSWORD_BUF - MENU_BUF.
(fallback_entry): Removed.
(fallback_entries): Declared.
(fallback_entryno): Likewise.
(MAX_FALLBACK_ENTRIES): New macro.
* stage2/cmdline.c (run_script): Use FALLBACK_ENTRYNO instead of
FALLBACK_ENTRY.
* stage2/builtins.c (fallback_entry): Removed.
(fallback_entryno): New variable.
(fallback_entries): Likewise.
(init_config): Initialize FALLBACK_ENTRYNO and FALLBACK_ENTRIES.
(fallback_func): Rewritten completely.
(savedefault_func): Likewise.
* docs/grub.texi (grub-set-default): New direntry.
(Installation): Describe grub-set-default for manual
installations.
(Making your system robust): New section.
(Booting once-only): New subsection.
(Booting fallback systems): Likewise.
(fallback): Describe multiple fallback entries.
(savedefault): Describe an optional argument.
(Invoking grub-set-default): New chapter.
(Future): Replaced with a description about GRUB 2.
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Added util/grub-set-default.
