Various features and parameters of a pv-kernel are specified via
elf notes in the kernel image. Those notes are part of the interface
between the Xen hypervisor and the kernel.
Instead of using num,bers in the code when interpreting the elf notes
make use of the header supplied by Xen for that purpose.

The loader for xen paravirtualized environment isn't callable multiple

Call grub_relocator_unload() as other modules do it before allocating

Currently multiboot2 protocol loads image exactly at address specified in
ELF or multiboot2 header. This solution works quite well on legacy BIOS
platforms. It is possible because memory regions are placed at predictable
addresses (though I was not able to find any spec which says that it is
strong requirement, so, it looks that it is just a goodwill of hardware
designers). However, EFI platforms are more volatile. Even if required
memory regions live at specific addresses then they are sometimes simply
not free (e.g. used by boot/runtime services on Dell PowerEdge R820 and
OVMF). This means that you are not able to just set up final image
destination on build time. You have to provide method to relocate image
contents to real load address which is usually different than load address
specified in ELF and multiboot2 headers.
This patch provides all needed machinery to do self relocation in image code.
First of all GRUB2 reads min_addr (min. load addr), max_addr (max. load addr),
align (required image alignment), preference (it says which memory regions are
preferred by image, e.g. none, low, high) from multiboot_header_tag_relocatable
header tag contained in binary (at this stage load addresses from multiboot2
and/or ELF headers are ignored). Later loader tries to fulfill request (not only
that one) and if it succeeds then it informs image about real load address via
multiboot_tag_load_base_addr tag. At this stage GRUB2 role is finished. Starting
from now executable must cope with relocations itself using whole static and
dynamic knowledge provided by boot loader.
This patch does not provide functionality which could do relocations using
ELF relocation data. However, I was asked by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk and Vladimir
'phcoder' Serbinenko to investigate that thing. It looks that relevant machinery
could be added to existing code (including this patch) without huge effort.
Additionally, ELF relocation could live in parallel with self relocation provided
by this patch. However, during research I realized that first of all we should
establish the details how ELF relocatable image should look like and how it should
be build. At least to build proper test/example files.
So, this patch just provides support for self relocatable images. If ELF file
with relocs is loaded then GRUB2 complains loudly and ignores it. Support for
such files will be added later.
This patch was tested with Xen image which uses that functionality. However, this Xen
feature is still under development and new patchset will be released in about 2-3 weeks.

If image requested EFI boot services then skip multiboot2 memory maps.
Main reason for not providing maps is because they will likely be
invalid. We do a few allocations after filling them, e.g. for relocator
needs. Usually we do not care as we would have finished boot services.
If we keep boot services then it is easier/safer to not provide maps.
However, if image needs memory maps and they are not provided by bootloader
then it should get itself just before ExitBootServices() call.

We may get more than one response before exiting out of loop in
grub_net_dns_lookup, but buffer was allocated for the first response only,
so storing answers from subsequent replies wrote past allocated size.
We never really use more than the very first address during lookup so there
is little point in collecting all of them. Just quit early if we already have
some reply.
Code needs serious redesign to actually collect multiple answers
and select the best fit according to requested type (IPv4 or IPv6).

XFS V5 stores UUID in metadata and compares them with superblock UUID.
To allow changing of user-visible UUID it stores original value in new
superblock field (meta_uuid) and sets incompatible flag to indicate that
new field must be used to verify metadata. Our driver currently does not
check metadata UUID so simply accept such filesystem.

If we open new connection, we need to reset stall indication, otherwise
nothing will ever be polled (low level code rely on this field being
zero when establishing connection).
Depending on the OS/libc, device macros are defined in different
headers. This change ensures we include the right one.
sys/types.h - BSD
sys/mkdev.h - Sun
sys/sysmacros.h - glibc (Linux)
glibc currently pulls sys/sysmacros.h into sys/types.h, but this may
change in a future release.

At least the apache sever is very unhappy with that extra null line and will
take more than ten seconds in responding to each range request, which slows
down a lot the entire http file transfer process or even time out.
Historically this variable hold previous value of filename that
had to be freed if allocated previously. Currently this branch
is entered only if filename was not allocated previously so it
became redundant. It did not cause real problems because grub_free
was not called, but code is confusing and causes compilation error
in some cases.
Returned from the OpenProtocol operation, the grub_efi_block_io_media
structure contains the io_align field, specifying the minimum alignment
required for buffers used in any data transfers with the device.
Make grub_efidisk_readwrite() allocate a temporary buffer, aligned to
this boundary, if the buffer passed to it does not already meet the
requirements.
Also sanity check the io_align field in grub_efidisk_open() for
power-of-two-ness and bail if invalid.
Map EFI_NO_MEDIA to GRUB_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE that is ignored by diskfilter. This
actually matches pretty close (we obviously attempt to read outside of media)
and avoids adding more error codes.
This affects only internally initiated scans. If read/write from removable is
explicitly requested, we still return an error and text explanation is more
clear for user than generic error.

ipv6 routing in grub2 is broken, we cannot talk to anything outside our local
network or anything that doesn't route in our global namespace. This patch
fixes this by doing a couple of things
1) Read the router information off of the router advertisement. If we have a
router lifetime we need to take the source address and create a route from it.
2) Changes the routing stuff slightly to allow you to specify a gateway _and_ an
interface. Since the router advertisements come in on the link local address we
need to associate it with the global address on the card. So when we are
processing the router advertisement, either use the SLAAC interface we create
and add the route to that interface, or loop through the global addresses we
currently have on our interface and associate it with one of those addresses.
We need to have a special case here for the default route so that it gets used,
we do this by setting the masksize to 0 to mean it encompasses all networks.
The routing code will automatically select the best route so if there is a
closer match we will use that.
With this patch I can now talk to ipv6 addresses outside of my local network.
Thanks,

Prevent buffer over-read in grub_machine_mmap_iterate. This was
causing phys_base from being calculated properly. This then
caused the wrong value to be placed in ramdisk_image within
struct linux_hdrs. Which prevented the ramdisk from loading on

When running grub in a VGA console of a KVM pseries guest on PowerPC,
you can see the cursor sweeping over the whole line when entering a
character in editor mode. This is visible because grub always refreshes
the whole line when entering a character in editor mode, and drawing
characters is quite a slow operation with the firmware used for the
powerpc pseries guests (SLOF).
To avoid this ugliness, the cursor should be disabled when refreshing
the screen contents during update_screen().
