On such a filesystem, inodes may have EXT4_ENCRYPT_FLAG set.
For a regular file, this means its contents are encrypted; for a
directory, this means the filenames in its directory entries are
encrypted; and for a symlink, this means its target is encrypted. Since
GRUB cannot decrypt encrypted contents or filenames, just issue an error
if it would need to do so. This is sufficient to allow unencrypted boot
files to co-exist with encrypted files elsewhere on the filesystem.
(Note that encrypted regular files and symlinks will not normally be
encountered outside an encrypted directory; however, it's possible via
hard links, so they still need to be handled.)
Tested by booting from an ext4 /boot partition on which I had run
'tune2fs -O encrypt'. I also verified that the expected error messages
are printed when trying to access encrypted directories, files, and
symlinks from the GRUB command line. Also ran 'sudo ./grub-fs-tester
ext4_encrypt'; note that this requires e2fsprogs v1.43+ and Linux v4.1+.

The path returned by grub_efi_net_config has already been stripped for the

It fixed the problem that grub.efi as NBP image always looking for grub.cfg and
platform directory in upper folder rather than current one it gets loaded while
$prefix is empty. The behavior is inconsistent with other architecture and how
we would expect empty $prefix going to be in general.
The only exception to the general rule of empty $prefix is that when loaded
from platform directory itself, the platform part is stripped thus upper folder
is used for looking up files. It meets the case for how grub-mknetdir lay out
the files under tftp root directory, but also hide away this issue to be

get_card_packet() from ofnet.c allocates a netbuff based on the device's MTU:
nb = grub_netbuff_alloc (dev->mtu + 64 + 2);

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.

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.
