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:

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.

grub-mkconfig will set GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT to "gfxterm" unless the user
has overridden it. On EFI systems, this will stop output from going to the
default "console" terminal. When the EFI fw console is configured to output to
both serial and video, this will cause GRUB to only display on video - while
continuing to accept input from both video and serial.
Instead of switching from "console" to "gfxterm", let's output to both.

Commit d33045ce7f introduced
the support for this, but it does not work under x86 (as it stops
20_linux_xen from running).
The 20_linux_xen is run under a shell and any exits from within it:
(For example on x86):
+ /usr/bin/grub2-file --is-arm64-efi /boot/xen-4.9.0.gz
[root@tst063 grub]# echo $?
1
will result in 20_linux_xen exiting without continuing
and also causing grub2-mkconfig to stop processing.
As in:
[root@tst063 grub]# ./grub-mkconfig | tail

This patch wraps the invocation of grub-file to be a in subshell

the issue.

This patch adds the support of xen_boot command for aarch64:
xen_hypervisor
xen_module
These two commands are only for aarch64, since it has its own protocol and
commands to boot xen hypervisor and Dom0, but not multiboot.
For other architectures, they are still using multiboot and module
commands.

If root filesystem is multidev btrfs, do not attempt to pass all devices as
kernel root= argument. This results in splitting command line in GRUB due to
embedded newline and even if we managed to quote it, kernel does not know how
to interpret it anyway. Multidev btrfs requires user space device scanning,
so passing single device would not work too.
This still respects user settings GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID. Not sure what we
should do in this case.
Closes: 45709
Currently only Windows gets distinguished icons, everything else is displayed
using the same generic one. Add additional --class based on os-prober returned
label, which usually is expected to match primary distribution name.
Also use it for Windows as well - chainloader prober may actually return
different strings (Windows, MS-DOS, Windows9xME).
util/grub-mkconfig_lib.in(version_test_gt): "echo -n" is not really needed,
final newline is stripped by command substitution.
util/grub.d/10_kfreebsd.in, util/grub.d/10_linux.in,
util/grub.d/20_linux_xen.in: change how list is built, to avoid echo -n
completely.
util/grub.d/30_os-prober.in: add spaces to printed line directly
Closes 43668.
* util/grub.d/30_os-prober.in: Tolerate devices with no filesystem
UUID. Other parts of grub-mkconfig tolerate these, they were
previously allowed here up to commit
55e706c918, and they can arise in
practice when the system has active LVM snapshots.
Fixes Ubuntu bug #1287436.
* util/grub.d/00_header.in (make_timeout): Use && rather than test
-a.
* util/grub.d/10_windows.in: Likewise.
* util/grub.d/10_netbsd.in (netbsd_load_fs_module): Use || rather
than test -o.
* util/grub.d/30_os-prober.in: Use && rather than test -a, and ||
rather than test -o.
Add a new timeout_style environment variable and a corresponding
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE configuration key for grub-mkconfig. This
controls hidden-timeout handling more simply than the previous
arrangements, and pressing any hotkeys associated with menu entries
during the hidden timeout will now boot the corresponding menu entry
immediately.
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=<non-empty> + GRUB_TIMEOUT=<non-zero> now
generates a warning, and if it shows the menu it will do so as if
the second timeout were not present. Other combinations are
translated into reasonable equivalents.
