GRUB's TCP stack assigns source ports for outgoing connections starting
at 21550 and increments sequentially by 1 (e.g., 21550, 21551, ...).
While this generally works, it can lead to failures if the system
reboots rapidly and reuses the same source port too soon.
This issue was observed on powerpc-ieee1275 platforms using CAS (Client
Architecture Support) reboot. In such cases, loading the initrd over
HTTP may fail with connection timeouts. Packet captures show the failed
connections are flagged as "TCP Port Number Reused" by Wireshark.
The root cause is that GRUB reuses the same port shortly after reboot,
while the server may still be tracking the previous connection in
TIME_WAIT. This can result in the server rejecting the connection
attempt or responding with a stale ACK or RST, leading to handshake
failure.
This patch fixes the issue by introducing a time based source port
selection strategy. Instead of always starting from port 21550, GRUB now
computes an initial base port based on the current RTC time, divided
into 5 minute windows. The purpose of this time based strategy is to
ensure that GRUB avoids reusing the same source port within a 5 minute
window, thereby preventing collisions with stale server side connection
tracking that could interfere with a new TCP handshake.
A step size of 8 ensures that the same port will not be reused across
reboots unless GRUB opens more than 8 TCP connections per second on
average, something that is highly unlikely. In typical usage, a GRUB
boot cycle lasts about 15 seconds and may open fewer than 100
connections total, well below the reuse threshold. This makes the
approach robust against short reboot intervals while keeping the logic
simple and deterministic.

Previously, the number of extent entries was not properly capped based
on the actual available space. This could lead to insufficient reads for
external extents since the computation was based solely on the inline
extent layout.
In this patch, when processing the extent header we determine whether
the header is stored inline, i.e. at inode->blocks.dir_blocks, or in an
external extent block. We then clamp the number of entries accordingly
(using max_inline_ext for inline extents and max_external_ext for
external extent blocks).
This change ensures that only the valid number of extent entries is
processed preventing out-of-bound reads and potential filesystem
corruption.

The GRUB may use TPM to verify the integrity of boot components and the
result can determine whether a previously sealed key can be released. If
everything checks out, showing nothing has been tampered with, the key
is released and GRUB unlocks the encrypted root partition for the next
stage of booting.
However, the liberal Command Line Interface (CLI) can be misused by
anyone in this case to access files in the encrypted partition one way
or another. Despite efforts to keep the CLI secure by preventing utility
command output from leaking file content, many techniques in the wild
could still be used to exploit the CLI, enabling attacks or learning
methods to attack. It's nearly impossible to account for all scenarios
where a hack could be applied.
Therefore, to mitigate potential misuse of the CLI after the root device
has been successfully unlocked via TPM, the user should be required to
authenticate using the LUKS password. This added layer of security
ensures that only authorized users can access the CLI reducing the risk
of exploitation or unauthorized access to the encrypted partition.

The get_part_uuid() function made an assumption that the target GRUB
device is a partition device and accessed device->disk->partition
without checking for NULL. There are four situations where this
assumption is problematic:
1. The device is a net device instead of a disk.
2. The device is an abstraction device, like LVM, RAID, or CRYPTO, which
is mostly logical "disk" ((lvmid/<UUID>) and so on).
3. Firmware RAID may present the ESP to GRUB as an EFI disk (hd0) device
if it is contained within a Linux software RAID.
4. When booting from a CD-ROM, the ESP is a VFAT image indexed by the El
Torito boot catalog. The boot device is set to (cd0), corresponding
to the CD-ROM image mounted as an ISO 9660 filesystem.
As a result, get_part_uuid() could lead to a NULL pointer dereference
and trigger a synchronous exception during boot if the ESP falls into
one of these categories. This patch fixes the problem by adding the
necessary checks to handle cases where the ESP is not a partition device.
Additionally, to avoid disrupting the boot process, this patch relaxes
the severity of the errors in this context to non-critical. Errors will
be logged, but they will not prevent the boot process from continuing.

When GRUB image is netbooted on ppc64le, the keyboard input exhibits
significant latency, reports even say that characters are processed
about once per second. This issue makes interactively trying to debug
a ppc64le config very difficult.
It seems that the latency is largely caused by a 200 ms timeout in the
idle event loop, during which the network card interface is consistently
polled for incoming packets. Often, no packets arrive during this
period, so the timeout nearly always expires, which blocks the response
to key inputs.
Furthermore, this 200 ms timeout might not need to be enforced at this
basic layer, considering that GRUB performs synchronous reads and its
timeout management is actually handled by higher layers, not directly in
the card instance. Additionally, the idle polling, which reacts to
unsolicited packets like ICMP and SLAAC, would be fine at a less frequent
polling interval, rather than needing a timeout for receiving a response.
For these reasons, we believe the timeout in get_card_packet() should be
effectively removed. According to test results, the delay has disappeared,
and it is now much easier to use interactively.

When enabling gfxmenu and choosing to boot the Xen hypervisor from its

The error is returned by grub_video_bitmap_create_scaled() when the
source pixmap is not there. The init_background() uses it to scale up
the background image so it can fully fit into the screen resolution.
However not all backgrounds are set by a image, i.e. the "desktop-image"
property of the theme file. Instead a color code may be used, for
example OpenSUSE's green background uses "desktop-color" property:
desktop-color: "#0D202F"
So it is absolutely fine to call init_background() without a raw pixmap
if color code is used. A missing check has to be added to ensure the
grub_errno will not be erroneously set and gets in the way of ensuing
boot process.
The reason it happens sporadically is due to grub_errno is reset to
GRUB_ERR_NONE in other places if a function's error return can be
ignored. In particular this hunk in grub_gfxmenu_create_box() does the
majority of the reset of grub_errno returned by init_background(), but
the path may not be always chosen.
grub_video_bitmap_load (&box->raw_pixmaps[i], path);
grub_free (path);
/* Ignore missing pixmaps. */
grub_errno = GRUB_ERR_NONE;
In any case, we cannot account on such random behavior and should only
return grub_errno if it is justified.

When the tpm module is loaded, the verifier reads entire file into
memory, measures it and uses verified content as a backing buffer for
file accesses. However, this process may result in high memory
utilization for file operations, sometimes causing a system to run out
of memory which may finally lead to boot failure. To address this issue,
among others, the commit 887f98f0d (mm: Allow dynamically requesting
additional memory regions) have optimized memory management by
dynamically allocating heap space to maximize memory usage and reduce
threat of memory exhaustion. But in some cases problems may still arise,
e.g., when large ISO images are mounted using loopback or when dealing
with embedded systems with limited memory resources.
Unfortunately current implementation of the tpm module doesn't allow
elimination of the back buffer once it is loaded. Even if the TPM device
is not present or it has been explicitly disabled. This may unnecessary
allocate a lot memory. To solve this issue, a patch has been developed
to detect the TPM status at module load and skip verifier registration
if the device is missing or deactivated. This prevents allocation of
memory for the back buffer, avoiding wasting memory when no real measure
boot functionality is performed. Disabling the TPM device in the system
can reduce memory usage in the GRUB. It is useful in scenarios where
high memory utilization is a concern and measurements of loaded

This is caused by GCC regression in 11/12 [1]. In a nut shell, the
warning is about detected invalid accesses at non-zero offsets to NULL
pointers. Since hardwired constant address is treated as NULL plus an
offset in the same underlying code, the warning is therefore triggered.
Instead of inserting #pragma all over the places where literal pointers
are accessed to avoid diagnosing array-bounds, we can try to borrow the
idea from Linux kernel that the absolute_pointer() macro [2][3] is used
to disconnect a pointer using literal address from it's original object,
hence GCC won't be able to make assumptions on the boundary while doing
pointer arithmetic. With that we can greatly reduce the code we have to
cover up by making initial literal pointer assignment to use the new
wrapper but not having to track everywhere literal pointers are
accessed. This also makes code looks cleaner.
Please note the grub_absolute_pointer() macro requires to be invoked in

with literal pointers has been changed to local ones in order to use
grub_absolute_pointer() to initialize it. The shuffling is basically done

defaults to start.
Using -Ttext-segment doesn't help either, though it is said to set the
address of the first byte of the text segment according to "man ld".
What it actually does is to override the default 0x400000, aka the image
base address, to something else. The entire process can be observed in
the default linker script used by gcc [1]. Therefore we can't expect it
to achieve the same thing as -Ttext given that the first segment where
.text resides is offset by SIZEOF_HEADERS plus some sections may be
preceding it within the first segment. The end result is .text always
has to start with non-zero address with -Wl,-Ttext-segment,0 if using
default linker script.
It is also worth mentioning that binutils upstream apparently doesn't
seem to consider this as a bug [2] and proposed to use -Wl,-Ttext-segment,0
which is not fruitful as what has been tested by Gentoo [3].
As long as GRUB didn't use ISA information encoded in .note.gnu.property,
we can safely drop it via -Wa,-mx86-used-note=no assembler option to
fix the linker error above.
This is considered a better approach than using custom linker script to
drop the .note.gnu.property section because object file manipulation can
also be hampered one way or the other in that linker script may not be
helpful. See also this commit removing the section in the process of objcopy.

We can learn from above that /dev/mapper/data is an encrypted volume and
also gets assigned to volume group "system" as one of it's physical
volumes. And also it is not used by root device, /dev/mapper/system-root,
for allocating extents, so it shouldn't be taking part in the process of
setting up GRUB to access root device.
However, running grub-install reports error as volume group "system"
contains encrypted volume.
error: attempt to install to encrypted disk without cryptodisk
enabled. Set `GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y' in file `/etc/default/grub'.
Certainly we can enable GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y and move on, but that
is not always acceptable since the server may need to be booted unattended.
Additionally, typing passphrase for every system startup can be a big
hassle of which most users would like to avoid.
This patch solves the problem by returning exact physical volume, /dev/vda2,
rightly used by system-root from the example above, thus grub-install will
not error out because the excessive encrypted device to boot the root device
is not configured.

The gcc by default assumes executable stack is required if the source
object file doesn't have .note.GNU-stack section in place. If any of the
source objects doesn't incorporate the GNU-stack note, the resulting
program will have executable stack flag set in PT_GNU_STACK program
header to instruct program loader or kernel to set up the executable
stack when program loads to memory.
Usually the .note.GNU-stack section will be generated by gcc
automatically if it finds that executable stack is not required. However
it doesn't take care of generating .note.GNU-stack section for those
object files built from assembler sources. This leads to unnecessary
risk of security of exploiting the executable stack because those
assembler sources don't actually require stack to be executable to work.
The grub-emu and grub-emu-lite are found to flag stack as executable
revealed by execstack tool.

$ ../configure --with-platform=emu && make
$ execstack -q grub-core/grub-emu grub-core/grub-emu-lite

This patch will add the missing GNU-stack note to the assembler source
used by both utilities, therefore the result doesn't count on gcc
default behavior and the executable stack is disabled.

While attempting to dual boot Microsoft Windows with UEFI chainloader,
it failed with below error when UEFI Secure Boot was enabled:

It is a regression, as previously it worked without any problem.
It turns out chainloading PE image has been locked down by commit
578c95298 (kern: Add lockdown support). However, we should consider it
as verifiable object by shim to allow booting in UEFI Secure Boot mode.
The chainloaded PE image could also have trusted signature created by
vendor with their pubkey cert in db. For that matters it's usage should
not be locked down under UEFI Secure Boot, and instead shim should be
allowed to validate a PE binary signature before running it.

Here I'd like to quote from the gcc document [1] which seems best to
explain what is going on here.
"Although the size of a zero-length array is zero, an array member of
this kind may increase the size of the enclosing type as a result of
tail padding. The offset of a zero-length array member from the
beginning of the enclosing structure is the same as the offset of an
array with one or more elements of the same type. The alignment of a
zero-length array is the same as the alignment of its elements.
Declaring zero-length arrays in other contexts, including as interior
members of structure objects or as non-member objects, is discouraged.
Accessing elements of zero-length arrays declared in such contexts is
undefined and may be diagnosed."
The l_hash[0] is apparnetly an interior member to the enclosed structure
while l_entries[0] is the trailing member. And the offending code tries
to access members in l_hash[0] array that triggers the diagnose.
Given that the l_entries[0] is used to get proper alignment to access
leaf chunks, we can accomplish the same thing through the ALIGN_UP macro
thus eliminating l_entries[0] from the structure. In this way we can
pacify the warning as l_hash[0] now becomes the last member to the
enclosed structure.

Apparently gcc issues the warning when trying to access sb.dev_roles

struct grub_raid_super_1x that is allocated sparsely without extra
chunks for the trailing bits, so the warning looks legitimate in this

As the whole thing here is doing offset computation, it is undue to use

pointer arithmetic to pacify the warning.

Add notes on LVM cache booting to the GRUB manual to help user understanding
the outstanding issue and status.
Signed-off-by: Michael Chang <mchang@suse.com>
Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com>
The LVM cache logical volume is the logical volume consisting of the original
and the cache pool logical volume. The original is usually on a larger and
slower storage device while the cache pool is on a smaller and faster one. The
performance of the original volume can be improved by storing the frequently
used data on the cache pool to utilize the greater performance of faster
device.
The default cache mode "writethrough" ensures that any data written will be
stored both in the cache and on the origin LV, therefore grub can be straight
to read the original lv as no data loss is guarenteed.
The second cache mode is "writeback", which delays writing from the cache pool
back to the origin LV to have increased performance. The drawback is potential
data loss if losing the associated cache device.
During the boot time grub reads the LVM offline i.e. LVM volumes are not
activated and mounted, hence it should be fine to read directly from original
lv since all cached data should have been flushed back in the process of taking
it offline.
It is also not much helpful to the situation by adding fsync calls to the
install code. The fsync did not force to write back dirty cache to the original
device and rather it would update associated cache metadata to complete the
write transaction with the cache device. IOW the writes to cached blocks still
go only to the cache device.
To write back dirty cache, as LVM cache did not support dirty cache flush per
block range, there'no way to do it for file. On the other hand the "cleaner"
policy is implemented and can be used to write back "all" dirty blocks in a
cache, which effectively drain all dirty cache gradually to attain and last in
the "clean" state, which can be useful for shrinking or decommissioning a
cache. The result and effect is not what we are looking for here.
In conclusion, as it seems no way to enforce file writes to the original
device, grub may suffer from power failure as it cannot assemble the cache
device and read the dirty data from it. However since the case is only
applicable to writeback mode which is sensitive to data lost in nature, I'd
still like to propose my (relatively simple) patch and treat reading dirty
cache as improvement.

We are often bothered by this sort of lvm warning while running grub-install
every now and then:
File descriptor 4 (/dev/vda1) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 1991: /usr/sbin/grub2-install
The requirement related to the warning is dictated in the lvm man page:
"On invocation, lvm requires that only the standard file descriptors stdin,
stdout and stderr are available. If others are found, they get closed and
messages are issued warning about the leak. This warning can be suppressed by
setting the environment variable LVM_SUPPRESS_FD_WARNINGS."
While it could be disabled through settings, most Linux distributions seem to
enable it by default and the justification provided by the developer looks to
be valid to me: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466138#15
Rather than trying to close and reopen the file descriptor to the same file
multiple times, which is rather cumbersome, for the sake of no vgs invocation
could happen in between. This patch enables the close-on-exec flag (O_CLOEXEC)
for new file descriptor returned by the open() system call, making it closed
thus not inherited by the child process forked and executed by the exec()
family of functions.

by function grub_f2fs_get_block() because level == 0 is valid and

The fix is to set level = -1 as return value by grub_get_node_path() to
signify an error that the input block cannot be handled. Any caller

The error is caused by sig file descriptor been closed twice, first time
in grub_verify_signature() to which it is passed as parameter. Second in
grub_cmd_verify_signature() or in whichever opens the sig file
descriptor. The second close is not consider as bug to me either, as in
common rule of what opens a file has to close it to avoid file
descriptor leakage.
After all the design of grub_verify_signature() makes it difficult to keep
a good trace on opened file descriptor from it's caller. Let's refine
the application interface to accept file path rather than descriptor, in
this way the caller doesn't have to care about closing the descriptor by
delegating it to grub_verify_signature() with full tracing to opened
file descriptor by itself.
Also making it clear that sig descriptor is not referenced in error
returning path of grub_verify_signature_init(), so it can be closed
directly by it's caller. This also makes delegating it to
grub_pubkey_close() infeasible to help in relieving file descriptor
leakage as it has to depend on uncertainty of ctxt fields in error
returning path.

When building with GCC 8, there are several errors regarding packed-not-aligned.
./include/grub/gpt_partition.h:79:1: error: alignment 1 of ‘struct grub_gpt_partentry’ is less than 8 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned]
This patch fixes the build error by cleaning up the ambiguity of placing
aligned structure in a packed one. In "struct grub_btrfs_time" and "struct
grub_gpt_part_type", the aligned attribute seems to be superfluous, and also
has to be packed, to ensure the structure is bit-to-bit mapped to the format
laid on disk. I think we could blame to copy and paste error here for the
mistake. In "struct efi_variable", we have to use grub_efi_packed_guid_t, as
the name suggests. :)

The path returned by grub_efi_net_config has already been stripped for the
directory part extracted from cached bootp packet. We should just return the
result to avoild it be stripped again.
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
identified as it appears to be just works.
Also fix possible memory leak by moving grub_efi_get_filename() call after
grub_efi_net_config().
At least the apache sever is very unhappy with that extra null line and will
take more than ten seconds in responding to each range request, which slows
down a lot the entire http file transfer process or even time out.
Condition was accidentally reversed, so PIT calibration always failed
when PIT was present and always succeeded when PIT was missing, but in
the latter case resulted in absurdly fast clock.

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.
Many routers have long router advertisment interval configured by
default. The Neighbor Discovery protocol (RFC4861) has defined default
MaxRtrAdvInterval value as 600 seconds and
MinRtrAdvInterval as 0.33*MaxRtrAdvInterval. This makes
net_ipv6_autoconf fails more often than not as currently it passively
listens the RA message to perfom address autoconfiguration.
This patch tries to send router solicitation to overcome the problem of
long RA interval.
v2:
use cpu_to_be macro for network byte order conversion
add missing error handling
The structure size used in grub_netbuff_pull to get the pointer to
option header is apparently wrong, which leads to subsequent range check
failed and therefore not responding to any neighbor solicit message in my
testing.
We encountered a weird random kernel initrd unpacking error on btrfs
and finally found it was caused by incorrect address reference in range
check for type GRUB_BTRFS_EXTENT_REGULAR and the entire result is
unpredictable.
This is a quick fix to make the address reference to the
grub_btrfs_extent_data structure correctly, not the pointer variable
to it.
Any suggestions to this patch is welcome.
