The XFS now has an incompat feature flag to indicate that the filesystem
needs to be repaired. The Linux kernel refuses to mount a filesystem that
has it set and only the xfs_repair tool is able to clear that flag.
The GRUB doesn't have the concept of mounting filesystems and just attempts
to read

Some filesystems nowadays uses 64-bit types for timestamps, so, update
grub_dirhook_info struct to use an grub_int64_t type to store mtime.
This also updates the grub_unixtime2datetime() function to receive a
64-bit timestamp argument and do 64-bit-safe divisions.

The XFS filesystem supports a bigtime feature to overcome y2038 problem.
This patch makes the GRUB able to support the XFS filesystems with this
feature enabled.
The XFS counter for the bigtime enabled timestamps starts on 0, which
translates to GRUB_INT32_MIN (Dec 31 20:45
Hello,
This series contains patches to support incompat feature flags that were
recently added to the XFS filesystem. This is needed because GRUB checks
if the super block .sb_features_incompat field contains incompat feature
flags that are not supported, and if that's the case it considers the SB
There are already constant macros defined for unsigned integers but no for
signed integers. Add macro constants for format specifiers of the latter.

register atexit handle to restore the backup if errors occur before
point of no return, or remove the backup if everything was
