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.
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
Basic usage would look something like this:
gptprio.next -d usr_dev -u usr_uuid
linuxefi ($usr_dev)/boot/vmlinuz mount.usr=PARTUUID=$usr_uuid
After booting the system should set the 'successful' bit on the
partition that was used.
The first hint of something practical, a command that can restore any of
the GPT structures from the alternate location. New test case must run
under QEMU because the loopback device used by the other unit tests does
not support writing.
In util/getroot and efidisk slightly modify exitsing comment to mostly
retain it but still make GCC7 compliant with respect to fall through
annotation.
In grub-core/lib/xzembed/xz_dec_lzma2.c it adds same comments as
upstream.
In grub-core/tests/setjmp_tets.c declare functions as "noreturn" to
suppress GCC7 warning.
In grub-core/gnulib/regexec.c use new __attribute__, because existing
annotation is not recognized by GCC7 parser (which requires that comment
immediately precedes case statement).
Otherwise add FALLTHROUGH comment.

Fixed loading of ACPI tables on EFI (side effect was apparent memory
corruption ranging from unpredictable behavior to system reset).
Reported by Nando Eva <nando4eva@ymail.com>
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 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.
