Historically this variable hold previous value of filename that
had to be freed if allocated previously. Currently this branch
is entered only if filename was not allocated previously so it
became redundant. It did not cause real problems because grub_free
was not called, but code is confusing and causes compilation error
in some cases.
Returned from the OpenProtocol operation, the grub_efi_block_io_media
structure contains the io_align field, specifying the minimum alignment
required for buffers used in any data transfers with the device.
Make grub_efidisk_readwrite() allocate a temporary buffer, aligned to
this boundary, if the buffer passed to it does not already meet the
requirements.
Also sanity check the io_align field in grub_efidisk_open() for
power-of-two-ness and bail if invalid.
Map EFI_NO_MEDIA to GRUB_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE that is ignored by diskfilter. This
actually matches pretty close (we obviously attempt to read outside of media)
and avoids adding more error codes.
This affects only internally initiated scans. If read/write from removable is
explicitly requested, we still return an error and text explanation is more
clear for user than generic error.

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.
Thanks,

Prevent buffer over-read in grub_machine_mmap_iterate. This was
causing phys_base from being calculated properly. This then
caused the wrong value to be placed in ramdisk_image within
struct linux_hdrs. Which prevented the ramdisk from loading on
boot.

When running grub in a VGA console of a KVM pseries guest on PowerPC,
you can see the cursor sweeping over the whole line when entering a
character in editor mode. This is visible because grub always refreshes
the whole line when entering a character in editor mode, and drawing
characters is quite a slow operation with the firmware used for the
powerpc pseries guests (SLOF).
To avoid this ugliness, the cursor should be disabled when refreshing
the screen contents during update_screen().

lexer calls yylex_fatal on fatal internal errors. yylex_fatal itself is
declared as noreturn and calls exit. Returning from noreturn function has
unpredictable consequences.
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.
-Wunreachable-code has been a no-op since GCC 4.5; GRUB hasn't been
compiled with it since 2012; and GCC 6 produces "error:
'-Wunreachable-code' is not an option that controls warnings" for these.
Fixes Debian bug #812047.
server cannot be NULL at this point (we return error earlier if it is).
Also structure is zalloc'ed, so no need to explicitly initialize
members to 0.

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)
Closes: 46691
grub_xfs_iterate_dir did not restore first character after inline
name when match was found. Dependning on XFS format this character
could be inode number and we could return to the same node later in
find_file if processing cycled symlinks.
CID: 86724
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.
On emu some checks can be laxer like check for relocation range. Additionally
module loading in emu is rarely used. So skip this check rather than making
it laxer for all platforms. In ideal we may want to have slightly different
check for emu but for now this is good enough.
This section is generated by clang and is useful only for debugging.
It contains exotic relocations, so strip them to avoid them interferring
with module loading.
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.
Closes: 45163
GRUB keeps partition offset and size in units of 512B sectors. Media paths
are defined in terms of LBA which are presumed to match HDD sector size.
This is probably cosmetic (EFI requires that partition is searched by GUID)
and still incorrect if GPT was created using different logical block size.
But current code is obviously wrong and new has better chances to be correct.
