The EFI spec indicates that get_status() should return the address of the buffer
we passed into transmit to indicate the the buffer was transmitted. However we
have boxes where the firmware returns some arbitrary address instead, which
makes grub think that we've not sent anything. So since we have the SNP stuff
opened in exclusive mode just assume any non-NULL txbuf means that our transmit
occurred properly. This makes grub able to do its networking stuff properly on
our broken firmware. Thanks,

Recent tests have discovered that many of our filesystems have flawed
handling of "." and "..". Rather than attempting to fix it in filesystems
themselves, make the common code fshelp aware of "." and ".." and handle
them in this layer. Add grub_fshelp_find_file_lookup for easy conversion
of BFS, HFS and exFAT which have the same problem and don't use fshelp.

loader/linux: do not pad initrd with zeroes at the end
a8c473288d
Wimboot fails since the change above because it expects the "trailer"
initrd element on an aligned address.
This issue shows only when newc_name is used and the last initrd
entry has a not aligned size.
Since btrfs on-disk format uses little-endian, the searched item types
(ROOT_REF, INODE_REF) need converting the byte order in order to
function properly on big-endian systems.
Emulate dot and dotdot in root directory. For other directories do not
add separator between name and extension for these two special entries.

The current code for EFI grub_exit() calls grub_efi_fini() before
returning to firmware. In the case of ARM, this leaves a timer
event running which could lead to a firmware crash. This patch
changes this so that grub_machine_fini() is called with a NORETURN
flag. This allows machine-specific shutdown to happen as well
as the shutdown done by grub_efi_fini().

From RFC1542:
The 'giaddr' field is rather poorly named. It exists to facilitate
the transfer of BOOTREQUEST messages from a client, through BOOTP
relay agents, to servers on different networks than the client.
Similarly, it facilitates the delivery of BOOTREPLY messages from the
servers, through BOOTP relay agents, back to the client. In no case
does it represent a general IP router to be used by the client. A
BOOTP client MUST set the 'giaddr' field to zero (0.0.0.0) in all
BOOTREQUEST messages it generates.
A BOOTP client MUST NOT interpret the 'giaddr' field of a BOOTREPLY
message to be the IP address of an IP router. A BOOTP client SHOULD
completely ignore the contents of the 'giaddr' field in BOOTREPLY
messages.
Leave code ifdef'd out for the time being in case we see regression.

EDK2 network stack is based on Managed Network Protocol which is layered
on top of Simple Management Protocol and does background polling. This
polling races with grub for received (and probably trasmitted) packets
which causes either serious slowdown or complete failure to load files.
Open SNP device exclusively. This destroys all child MNP instances and
stops background polling.
Exclusive open cannot be done when enumerating cards, as it would destroy
PXE information we need to autoconfigure interface; and it cannot be done
during autoconfiguration as we need to do it for non-PXE boot as well. So
move SNP open to card ->open method and add matching ->close to clean up.
Based on patch from Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com>

EDK2 PXE driver creates two child devices - IPv4 and IPv6 - with
bound SNP instance. This means we get three cards for every physical
adapter when enumerating. Not only is this confusing, this may result
in grub ignoring packets that come in via the "wrong" card.
Example of device hierarchy is
Ctrl[91] PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)
Ctrl[95] PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)
Ctrl[B4] PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv4(0.0.0.0)
Ctrl[BC] PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/MAC(525400123456,0x1)/IPv6(0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000)
Skip PXE created virtual devices when enumerating cards. Make sure to
find real card when applying initial autoconfiguration during PXE boot,
this information is associated with one of child devices.
Syslinux memdisk is using initrd image and needs to know uncompressed
size in advance. For gzip uncompressed size is at the end of compressed
stream. Grub padded each input file to 4 bytes at the end, which means
syslinux got wrong size.
Linux initramfs loader apparently does not care about trailing alignment.
So change code to align beginning of each file instead which atomatically
gives us the correct size for single file.

grub_memset should zero out padding after data end. It is not clear

Some x86 systems might be capable of running a 64-bit Linux kernel but
only use a 32-bit EFI (e.g. Intel Bay Trail systems). It's useful for
grub-install to be able to recognise such systems, to set the default
x86 platform correctly.
To allow grub-install to know the size of the firmware rather than
just the size of the kernel, there is now an extra EFI sysfs file to
describe the underlying firmware. Read that if possible, otherwise
fall back to the kernel type as before.

Update gnulib/argp-help.c to the current version which fixes this
(commit b9bfe78424b871f5b92e5ee9e7d21ef951a6801d).
canonicalize_file_name clashed with gnulib function. Additionally
it was declared in 2 places: emu/misc.h and util/misc.h. Added
grub_ prefix and removed second declaration.
libgcc for boot environment isn't always present and compatible.
libgcc is often absent if endianness or bit-size at boot is different
from running OS.
libgcc may use optimised opcodes that aren't available on boot time.
So instead of relying on libgcc shipped with the compiler, supply
the functions in GRUB directly.
Tests are present to ensure that those replacement functions behave the
way compiler expects them to.
All current ciphers have blocks which are power of 2 and it's
unlikely to change. Other block length would be tricky to handle anyway.
This restriction allows avoiding extra divisions.
Add -msoft-float alongside clang arguments to specify ABI.
Specify ABI in asm files explicitly.
This trigers asm warning due to gcc failing to propagate -msoft-float
but it's tolerable.
Previously we supplied only unsigned divisions on platforms that need software
division.
Yet compiler may itself use a signed division. A typical example would be a
difference between 2 pointers which involves division by object size.

Using the http module to download config files, produces memory errors,
after the config file is downloaded.
The error was traced to the tcp stack in grub-core/net/tcp.c. The wrong

error.
Closes 42765.
grub_pubkey_open closed original file after it was read; it set
io->device to NULL to prevent grub_file_close from trying to close device.
But network device itself is stacked (net -> bufio); and bufio preserved
original netfs file which hold reference to device. grub_file_close(io)
called grub_bufio_close which called grub_file_close for original file.
grub_file_close(netfs-file) now also called grub_device_close which
freed file->device->net. So file structure returned by grub_pubkey_open
now had device->net pointed to freed memory. When later file was closed,
it was attempted to be freed again.
Change grub_pubkey_open to behave like other filters - preserve original
parent file and pass grub_file_close down to parent. In this way only the
original file will close device. We really need to move this logic into
core instead.
Also plug memory leaks in error paths on the way.

Many routers have long router advertisment interval configured by

The EFI version of grub_machine_get_bootlocation crops the boot image
name back to the last / in order to get a directory path. However, it
does not check that *name is actually set before calling grub_strrchr
to do this, and neither does grub_strrchr before dereferencing a NULL
pointer.
Parent function, grub_set_prefix_and_root, does check the pointer
before using.
The structure size used in grub_netbuff_pull to get the pointer to
option header is apparently wrong, which leads to subsequent range check
failed and therefore not responding to any neighbor solicit message in my
testing.
struct ... foo = { 0, } is valid initializer, but older GCC emits

address, which is stale data from the stack. If the stack happens to have a
stale *address* there that matches a recent allocation, then you'll get a
double free later.

In net/net.c there is a while (1) that only exits if there is a stop

If GRUB is idle and enter in this loop, the only condition to leave is
if it doesn't have incoming packages. In a network with heavy traffic
this never happens.
Many tests fail when run as a non-root user on FreeBSD. The failures
all amount to an inability to open files using grub_util_fd_open,
because we cannot set the kern.geom.debugflags sysctl. This sysctl is
indeed important to allow us to do such things as installing GRUB to the
MBR, but if we need to do that and can't then we will get an error
later. Enforcing it here is unnecessary and prevents otherwise
perfectly reasonable operations.
