In contrast to Mulitboot, in Mulitboot2, there is currently no way to
control where to load the modules to. This could be a problem, e.g., the
OS loaded by Multiboot2 needs to reserve low address for some particular
purposes and not for loading modules.
This patch implements the quirk quirk-module

Hi Paul,
I installed VMWare ESXi, but realized that it's not booted by GRUB.
I have tested on a KabyLake NUC, using Multiboot2 to load ACRN hypervisor, and
confirmed that either the OS kernel is an ELF or raw binary, with this patch,
grub_cmd_module () calculates the lowest_addr correctly and a
Update our embedded version of the jsmn library to upstream commit
053d3cd (Merge pull request #175 from pks-t/pks/struct-type,
2020-04-02). The update adds a name for the `jsmntok` struct, which
allows us to add a forward declaration for the struct's typedef. As a
result, we can now convert the `v
Hi,
here's two small improvements for LUKS2 support:
- The first patch introduces better error reporting, as I've noticed
it's quite hard to determine why decryption failed in case there's any
misconfiguration.
- The second is a result of my upstream pull request in jsmn, which got
accepte
While we already set up error messages in both `luks2_verify_key()` and
`luks2_decrypt_key()`, we do not ever print them. This makes it really
hard to discover why a given key actually failed to decrypt a disk.
Improve this by including the error message in the user-visible output.

The fwsetup command allows to reboot into the EFI firmware setup menu, add
a template to include a menu entry on EFI systems that makes use of that
command to reboot into the EFI firmware settings.
This is useful for users since the hotkey to enter into the EFI setup menu

Hello,
This patch series was split from a previously posted patch-set [0]. It contains
improvements for the EFI console and terminal drivers that allows to avoid the
switch to text-mode until is needed.
This is part of the patches we have in Fedora to support the Flicker Free Boot
feature [1], wh
This is just a preparatory patch to move the functions higher in the file,
since these will be called by the grub_prepare_for_text_output() function
that will be introduced in a later patch.
The logic is unchanged by this patch. Functions definitions are just moved
to avoid a forward declaration i

On some devices the ESC key is the hotkey to enter the BIOS/EFI setup
screen, making it really hard to time pressing it right. Besides that

If we're running with a hidden menu we may never need text mode, so do not
change the video-mode to text until we actually need it.
This allows to boot a machine without unnecessary graphical transitions and
provide a seamless boot experience to users.

Implement getkeystatus() support in the EFI console driver.
This is needed because the logic to determine if a key was pressed to make

account the SHIFT key being held down.

This is a preparatory patch for adding getkeystatus() support to the

We can get modifier status through the simple_text_input read_key_stroke

call will consume that key from the firmwa

Move grub_getkeystatushelper function from grub-core/commands/keystatus.c
to grub-core/kern/term.c and export it so that it can be used outside of
the keystatus command code too.
There's no logic change in this patch. The function definition is moved so
it can be called from
