Much like on x86, we can work out if the system is running on top of EFI
firmware. If so, return "arm-efi". If not, fall back to "arm-uboot" as
previously.
Split out the code to (maybe) load the efivar module and check for
/sys/firmware/efi into a common helper routine is_efi_system().

When reading data off a disk, sector values are based on the disk sector
length.
Within grub_util_fd_open_device(), the start of the partition was taken
directly from grub's partition information structure, which uses the
internal sector length (currently 512b), but never transformed to the
disk's sector length.
Subsequent calculations were all wrong for devices that have a diverging
sector length and the functions eventually skipped to the wrong stream
location, reading invalid data.

Limit NVMe of_path_of_nvme to just SPARC hardware for now. It has been

The of_path_of_nvme function (commit 2391d57, ieee1275: add nvme
support within ofpath) introduced a functional regression:
On systems which are not based on Open Firmware but have at
least one NVME device, find_obppath will return NULL and thus
trying to append the disk name to of_path will result in a
crash.
The proper behavior of of_path_of_nvme is, however, to just
return NULL in such cases, like other users of find_obppath,
such as of_path_of_scsi.

Add NVMe support within ofpath.
The Open Firmware text representation for a NVMe device contains the
Namespace ID. An invalid namespace ID is one whose value is zero or whose
value is greater than the value reported by the Number of Namespaces (NN)
field in the Identify Controller data structure. At the moment only a
single Namespace is supported, therefore the value is currently hard coded
to one.

Fix the Open Firmware (OF) path property for sun4v SPARC systems.
These platforms do not have a /sas/ within their path. Over time
different OF addressing schemes have been supported. There
is no generic addressing scheme that works across every HBA.
It looks that this functionality will not work if you try to cross-install
SPARC GRUB2 binary using e.g. x86 grub-install. By default it should work.
However, we will also have other issues here, like lack of access to OF
firmware/paths, which make such configs unusable anyway. So, let's leave
this patch as is for time being. If somebody cares then he/she should fix
the issue(s) at some point.

Don't use devspec to determine the OBP path on SPARC hardware. Within all
versions of Linux on SPARC, the devspec returns one of three values:
"none", "vnet-port", or "vdisk". Unlike on PPC, none of these values
are useful in determining the OBP path.
Before this patch grub-ofpathname always returned the wrong value
for a virtual disk. For example:
% grub-ofpathname /dev/vdiskc2
vdisk/disk@2:b
After this patch it now returns the correct value:
% grub-ofpathname /dev/vdiskc2
/virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@2:b

These entries have placeholder for device name and so are useless for our
purpose. grub failed with something like
grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `systemd-1'.
When we see autofs entry, record it (to keep parent-child relationship) but
continue to look for real mount. If it is found, we process it as usual. If
only autofs entry exists, attempt to trigger mount by opening mount point
and retry. Mount point itself is then kept open to avoid timeout.
Recent systemd is by default using automount for /boot/efi so this should
become more popular problem on EFI systems.

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.

This was lost when code was refactored. Patch restores previous behavior.
It is still not clear whether this is the right one. Due to the way we
detect DM abstraction, partitions on DM are skipped, we fall through to
generic detection which ends up in assuming parent device is BIOS disk.
It is useful to install GRUB on VM disk from the host. But it also means
that GRUB will mistakenly allow install on real system as well.
For now let's fix regression; future behavior needs to be discussed.

Since btrfs on-disk format uses little-endian, the searched item types
(ROOT_REF, INODE_REF) need converting the byte order in order to
function properly on big-endian systems.
Some x86 systems might be capable of running a 64-bit Linux kernel but
only use a 32-bit EFI (e.g. Intel Bay Trail systems). It's useful for
grub-install to be able to recognise such systems, to set the default
x86 platform correctly.
To allow grub-install to know the size of the firmware rather than
just the size of the kernel, there is now an extra EFI sysfs file to
describe the underlying firmware. Read that if possible, otherwise
fall back to the kernel type as before.

strlcpy is not available on Linux as part of standard libraries.
It probably is not worth extra configure checks espicially as we
need to handle missing function anyway.
This lets us cope with block device drivers that don't implement
HDIO_GETGEO. Fixes Ubuntu bug #1237519.
* grub-core/osdep/linux/hostdisk.c (sysfs_partition_path): New
function.
(sysfs_partition_start): Likewise.
(grub_util_find_partition_start_os): Try sysfs_partition_start
before HDIO_GETGEO.
the function of these files exceeds what can be sanely handled in shell
in posix-comaptible way. Also writing it in C extends the functionality
to non-UNIX-like OS and minimal environments.
