The x86_64 Linux kernel can be booted in 32-bit mode, in which case the
startup code creates a set of preliminary page tables that map the first
4 GiB of physical memory 1:1 and enables paging. This is a prerequisite
for 64-bit execution and can therefore only be implemented in 32-bit code.
The x86_64 Linux kernel can also be booted in 64-bit mode directly: this
implies that paging is already enabled and it is the responsibility of
the bootloader to ensure that the active page tables cover the entire
loaded image, including its BSS space, the size of which is described in
the image's setup header.
Given that the EFI spec mandates execution in long mode for x86_64 and
stipulates that all system memory is mapped 1:1, the Linux/x86
requirements for 64-bit entry can be met trivially when booting on
x86_64 via EFI. So, enter via the 64-bit entry point in this case.
This involves inspecting the xloadflags field in the setup header to
check whether the 64-bit entry point is supported. This field was
introduced in Linux version v3.8 (early 2013).
This change ensures that all EFI firmware tables and other assets passed
by the firmware or bootloader in memory remain mapped and accessible
throughout the early startup code.
Avoiding the drop out of long mode will also be needed to support
upcoming CPU designs that no longer implement 32-bit mode at all
(as recently announced by Intel [0]).

Switch the x86 based EFI platform builds to the generic EFI loader,
which exposes the initrd via the LoadFile2 protocol instead of the
x86-specific setup header. This will launch the Linux kernel via its EFI
stub, which performs its own initialization in the EFI boot services
context before calling ExitBootServices() and performing the bare metal
Linux boot.
Given that only Linux kernel versions v5.8 and later support this initrd
loading method, the existing x86 loader is retained as a fallback, which
will also be used for Linux kernels built without the EFI stub. In this
case, GRUB calls ExitBootServices() before entering the Linux kernel,
and all EFI related information is provided to the kernel via struct
boot_params in the setup header, as before.
Note that this means that booting EFI stub kernels older than v5.8 is
not supported even when not using an initrd at all. Also, the EFI
handover protocol, which has no basis in the UEFI specification, is not
implemented.

The current i386 initrd is limited under 1 GiB memory and it works with
most compressed initrds (also initrd_addr_max case reported by kernel).
addr = (addr_max - aligned_size) & ~0xFFF;
Above line is used to calculate the reasonable address to store the initrd.
However, if initrd size is greater than 1 GiB or initrd_addr_max, then it
will get overflow, especially on x86_64 arch.
Therefore, add a check point to prevent it overflows as well as having

grub_relocator_alloc_chunk_align() with validated max_addr value. Replace all
invocations such as grub_relocator_alloc_chunk_align(..., min_addr, max_addr - size, size, ...)

Currently the string functions grub_strtol(), grub_strtoul(), and
grub_strtoull() don't declare the "end" pointer in such a way as to
require the pointer itself or the character array to be immutable to the
implementation, nor does the C standard do so in its similar functions,
though it does require us not to change any of it.
The typical declarations of these functions follow this pattern:
long
strtol(const char * restrict nptr, char ** restrict endptr, int base);
Much of the reason for this is historic, and a discussion of that
follows below, after the explanation of this change. (GRUB currently
does not include the "restrict" qualifiers, and we name the arguments a
bit differently.)
The implementation is semantically required to treat the character array
as immutable, but such accidental modifications aren't stopped by the
compiler, and the semantics for both the callers and the implementation
of these functions are sometimes also helped by adding that requirement.
This patch changes these declarations to follow this pattern instead:
long
strtol(const char * restrict nptr,
const char ** const restrict endptr,
int base);
This means that if any modification to these functions accidentally
introduces either an errant modification to the underlying character
array, or an accidental assignment to endptr rather than *endptr, the
compiler should generate an error. (The two uses of "restrict" in this
case basically mean strtol() isn't allowed to modify the character array
by going through *endptr, and endptr isn't allowed to point inside the
array.)
It also means the typical use case changes to:
char *s = ...;
const char *end;
long l;
l = strtol(s, &end, 10);
Or even:
const char *p = str;
while (p && *p) {
long l = strtol(p, &p, 10);
...
}
This fixes 26 places where we discard our attempts at treating the data
safely by doing:
const char *p = str;
long l;
l = strtol(p, (char **)&ptr, 10);
It also adds 5 places where we do:
char *p = str;
while (p && *p) {
long l = strtol(p, (const char ** const)&p, 10);
...
/* more calls that need p not to be pointer-to-const */
}
While moderately distasteful, this is a better problem to have.
With one minor exception, I have tested that all of this compiles
without relevant warnings or errors, and that /much/ of it behaves
correctly, with gcc 9 using 'gcc -W -Wall -Wextra'. The one exception
is the changes in grub-core/osdep/aros/hostdisk.c , which I have no idea
how to build.
Because the C standard defined type-qualifiers in a way that can be
confusing, in the past there's been a slow but fairly regular stream of
churn within our patches, which add and remove the const qualifier in many
of the users of these functions. This change should help avoid that in
the future, and in order to help ensure this, I've added an explanation
in misc.h so that when someone does get a compiler warning about a type
error, they have the fix at hand.
The reason we don't have "const" in these calls in the standard is
purely anachronistic: C78 (de facto) did not have type qualifiers in the
syntax, and the "const" type qualifier was added for C89 (I think; it
may have been later). strtol() appears to date from 4.3BSD in 1986,
which means it could not be added to those functions in the standard
without breaking compatibility, which is usually avoided.
The syntax chosen for type qualifiers is what has led to the churn
regarding usage of const, and is especially confusing on string
functions due to the lack of a string type. Quoting from C99, the
syntax is:
declarator:
pointer[opt] direct-declarator
direct-declarator:
identifier
( declarator )
direct-declarator [ type-qualifier-list[opt] assignment-expression[opt] ]
...
direct-declarator [ type-qualifier-list[opt] * ]
...
pointer:
* type-qualifier-list[opt]
* type-qualifier-list[opt] pointer
type-qualifier-list:
type-qualifier
type-qualifier-list type-qualifier
...
type-qualifier:
const
restrict
volatile
So the examples go like:
const char foo; // immutable object
const char *foo; // mutable pointer to object
char * const foo; // immutable pointer to mutable object
const char * const foo; // immutable pointer to immutable object
const char const * const foo; // XXX extra const keyword in the middle
const char * const * const foo; // immutable pointer to immutable
// pointer to immutable object
const char ** const foo; // immutable pointer to mutable pointer
// to immutable object
Making const left-associative for * and right-associative for everything
else may not have been the best choice ever, but here we are, and the
inevitable result is people using trying to use const (as they should!),
putting it at the wrong place, fighting with the compiler for a bit, and
then either removing it or typecasting something in a bad way. I won't
go into describing restrict, but its syntax has exactly the same issue
as with const.
Anyway, the last example above actually represents the *behavior* that's
required of strtol()-like functions, so that's our choice for the "end"
pointer.

Recent work around x86 Linux kernel loader revealed an underflow in the
setup_header length calculation and another related issue. Both lead to
the memory overwrite and later machine crash.
Currently when the GRUB copies the setup_header into the linux_params
(struct boot_params, traditionally known as "zero page") it assumes the
setup_header size as sizeof(linux_i386_kernel_header/lh). This is
incorrect. It should use the value calculated accordingly to the Linux
kernel boot protocol. Otherwise in case of pretty old kernel, to be
exact Linux kernel boot protocol, the GRUB may write more into
linux_params than it was expected to. Fortunately this is not very big
issue. Though it has to be fixed. However, there is also an underflow
which is grave. It happens when
sizeof(linux_i386_kernel_header/lh) > "real size of the setup_header".
Then len value wraps around and grub_file_read() reads whole kernel into
the linux_params overwriting memory past it. This leads to the GRUB
memory allocator breakage and finally to its crash during boot.
The patch fixes both issues. Additionally, it moves the code not related to
grub_memset(linux_params)/grub_memcpy(linux_params)/grub_file_read(linux_params)
section outside of it to not confuse the reader.

Previously the setup_header length was just assumed to be the size of the
linux_kernel_params struct. The linux x86 32-bit boot protocol says that the
end of the linux_i386_kernel_header is at 0x202 + the byte value at 0x201 in
the linux_i386_kernel_header. So, calculate the size of the header using the
end of the linux_i386_kernel_header, rather than assume it is the size of the
linux_kernel_params struct.
Additionally, add some required members to the linux_kernel_params
struct and align the content of linux_i386_kernel_header struct with
it. New members naming was taken directly from Linux kernel source.
linux_kernel_params and linux_i386_kernel_header structs require more
cleanup. However, this is not urgent, so, let's do this after release.
