Portions of the code attempted to handle the fact that GPT entries on
disk may be larger than the currently defined struct while others
assumed the data could be indexed by the struct size directly. This
never came up because no utility uses a size larger than 128 bytes but
for the sake of safety we need to do this by the spec.
GPT_BOTH_VALID is 4 bits so simple a boolean check is not sufficient.
This broken condition allowed gptprio to trust bogus disk locations in
headers that were marked invalid causing arbitrary disk corruption.
Add support for adding gpg keys to the trusted database with a new command
called "trust_var". This takes the contents of a variable (in ascii-encoded
hex) and interprets it as a gpg public key.
The getenv code was mishandling the conversion of binary to hex. Grub's
sprintf() doesn't seem to support the full set of format conversions, so
fix this in the nasty way.
Define
* GRUB_EFI_PERSISTENT_MEMORY (UEFI memory map type 14) per UEFI 2.5
* GRUB_MEMORY_PERSISTENT (E820 type 7) per ACPI 3.0
* GRUB_MEMORY_PERSISTENT_LEGACY (E820 unofficial type 12) per ACPI 3.0
and translate GRUB_EFI_PERSISTENT_MEMORY to GRUB_MEMORY_PERSISTENT in
grub_efi_mmap_iterate().
Includes
* adding the E820 names to lsmmap
* handling the E820 types in make_efi_memtype()

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.
Add a command to read values from the qemu fwcfg store. This allows data
to be passed from the qemu command line to grub.
Example use:
echo '(hd0,1)' >rootdev
qemu -fw_cfg opt/rootdev,file=rootdev
fwconfig opt/rootdev root
Add the descriptions of the “core”, that means no vendorcode or payload,
coreboot time stamps added up to coreboot commit a7d92441 (timestamps:
You can never have enough of them!) [1].
Running `coreboot_boottime` in the GRUB command line interface now shows
descriptions for all time stamps again on the ASRock E350M1.

EBDA layout is not standardized so we cannot assume first two bytes
are length. Neither is it required by ACPI standard. HP 8710W is known
to contain zeroes here.

Old condition was used to zero-out header variable on exit of the loop.
This is correct but confusing. Replace with in-loop logic.
Found by: Coverity Scan.
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.
