all_video module does not have any code or data and exists solely for
.moddeps section to pull in dependencies. This makes all symbols unneeded.
While in current binutils (last released version as of this commit is 2.26)
``strip --strip-unneeded'' unintentionally adds section symbols for each
existing section, this behavior was considered a bug and changed in commit
14f2c699ddca1e2f706342dffc59a6c7e23e844c to completely strip symbol table
in this case.
Older binutils (verified with 2.17) and some other toolchains (at least
elftoolchain r3223M), both used in FreeBSD, remove symbol table in all_video
as well.
Relax run-time check and do not return error for modules without symbol table.
Add additional checks to module verifier to make sure such modules
a) have non-empty .moddeps section. Without either externally visible symbols
or .moddeps modules are completely useless and should not be built.
b) do not have any relocations.
Closes: 46986
v2: add run-time check for empty symbol table if relocations are present as
suggested by Vladimir.
Condition was apparently reversed so GRUB assumed all devices were
files. This later made it skip BLKFLSBUF ioctl on Linux which caused
various page cache coherency issues. Observed were
- failure to validate blocklist install (read content did not match
just written)
- failure to detect Linux MD on disk after online hot addition
(GRUB got stale superblock)

If line contains single word, line and argv[0] are aliases, so
no NULL dereference is possible, but Coverity does not know it.
Change code to avoid ambiguity and also remove redundant call to
grub_strchr.

Timer event to keep grub msec counter was running at 1000HZ. This was too
fast for UEFI timer driver and resulted in a 10x slowdown in grub time
versus wallclock. Reduce the timer event frequency and increase tick
increment accordingly to keep better time.
Otherwise it causes subsequent file open to fail, because grub_file_open
misinterprets set grub_errno for grub_file_get_device_name failure.
Closes: 46540
Condition was accidentally reversed, so PIT calibration always failed
when PIT was present and always succeeded when PIT was missing, but in
the latter case resulted in absurdly fast clock.
Reported and tested by Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>
PIT isn't available on some of new hardware including Hyper-V. So
use pmtimer for calibration. Moreover pmtimer calibration is faster, so
use it on coreboor where booting time is important.
Based on patch by Michael Chang.
It cannot work anyway because host disk cannot be read. This fixes hostfs access
on native Windows build where filenames start with '\' or do not have initial
separator at all (d:\foo).
Issue was observed when running grub-fstest on Windows. On UNIX image name is
canonicalized to always start with `/' so this was not noticed.
This has side effect of allowing relative path names on host, but this already
was the case with `ls' command, so it just extends it to all commands.

mips_attributes was introduced to work around clang problems with
-msoft-float. Those problems are now fixed and moreover .gnu_attributes
itself is unportable and creates problem with clang.
Revert "mips: Fix soft-float handling."
This partially reverts commit 6a4ecd276e.
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().

Use the new thumb_get_instruction_word/thumb_set_instruction_word
helpers throughout.
Style cleanup (missing spaces).
Move Thumb MOVW/MOVT handlers into Thumb relocation section of file.
_BSD_SOURCE was added to allow the use of DT_DIR, but that was removed
in e768b77068. While adding
_DEFAULT_SOURCE as well works around problems with current glibc,
neither is in fact needed nowadays.
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.
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.
GCC 4.9 also generates R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_THM_MOVT_ABS,
as an alternative to ABS32.
