85856560d5 video/readers: Add artificial limit to image dimensions
In grub-core/video/readers/jpeg.c, the height and width of a JPEG image don't
have an upper limit for how big the JPEG image can be. In Coverity, this is
getting flagged as an untrusted loop bound. This issue can also seen in PNG and
TGA format images as well but Coverity isn't flagging it. To prevent this, the
constant IMAGE_HW_MAX_PX is being added to include/grub/bitmap.h, which has
a value of 16384, to act as an artificial limit and restrict the height and
width of images. This value was picked as it is double the current max
resolution size, which is 8K.

e760841d96 Add configure option to bypass boot menu if possible
If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the
menu.  Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if
available to check whether Shift is pressed.  If it is, show the menu,
otherwise boot immediately.  If keystatus is not available, then fall
back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.

This may or may not remain Ubuntu-specific, although it's not obviously
wanted upstream.  It implements a requirement of
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceDesignSpec#Bootloader.

If the previous boot failed (defined as failing to get to the end of one
of the normal runlevels), then show the boot menu regardless.

  * fakebios:   creates BIOS-like structures for backward compatibility with

  * loadbios:   reads a BIOS dump from storage and loads it. This action
                should not be allowed when locked down.

  * devicetree: loads a Device Tree blob and passes it to the OS. It replaces
                any Device Tree provided by the firmware. This also should
                not be allowed when locked down.

8f73052885 efi: Use grub_is_lockdown() instead of hardcoding a disabled modules list
Now the GRUB can check if it has been locked down and this can be used to
prevent executing commands that can be utilized to circumvent the UEFI
Secure Boot mechanisms. So, instead of hardcoding a list of modules that
have to be disabled, prevent the usage of commands that can be dangerous.

This not only allows the commands to be disabled on other platforms, but
also properly separate the concerns. Since the shim_lock verifier logic
should be only about preventing to run untrusted binaries and not about
defining these kind of policies.

578c95298b kern: Add lockdown support
When the GRUB starts on a secure boot platform, some commands can be
used to subvert the protections provided by the verification mechanism and
could lead to booting untrusted system.

To prevent that situation, allow GRUB to be locked down. That way the code
may check if GRUB has been locked down and further restrict the commands
that are registered or what subset of their functionality could be used.

The lockdown support adds the following components:

* The grub_lockdown() function which can be used to lockdown GRUB if,
  e.g., UEFI Secure Boot is enabled.

* The grub_is_lockdown() function which can be used to check if the GRUB
  was locked down.

* A verifier that flags OS kernels, the GRUB modules, Device Trees and ACPI
  tables as GRUB_VERIFY_FLAGS_DEFER_AUTH to defer verification to other
  verifiers. These files are only successfully verified if another registered
  verifier returns success. Otherwise, the whole verification process fails.

  For example, PE/COFF binaries verification can be done by the shim_lock
  verifier which validates the signatures using the shim_lock protocol.
  However, the verification is not deferred directly to the shim_lock verifier.
  The shim_lock verifier is hooked into the verification process instead.

* A set of grub_{command,extcmd}_lockdown functions that can be used by
  code registering command handlers, to only register unsafe commands if
  the GRUB has not been locked down.

On some devices the ESC key is the hotkey to enter the BIOS/EFI setup

ESC is also pretty hard to discover for a user who does not know it

This commit makes F4, which was chosen because is not used as a hotkey

This solves the ESC gets into the BIOS setup and also somewhat solves
the discoverability issue, but leaves the timing issue unresolved.

This commit fixes the timing issue by also adding support for keeping
SHIFT pressed during boot to stop the menu countdown. This matches
what Ubuntu is doing, which should also help with discoverability.

365e0cc3e7 disk: Implement support for LUKS2
With cryptsetup 2.0, a new version of LUKS was introduced that breaks
compatibility with the previous version due to various reasons. GRUB
currently lacks any support for LUKS2, making it impossible to decrypt
disks encrypted with that version. This commit implements support for
this new format.

Note that LUKS1 and LUKS2 are quite different data formats. While they
do share the same disk signature in the first few bytes, representation
of encryption parameters is completely different between both versions.
While the former version one relied on a single binary header, only,
LUKS2 uses the binary header only in order to locate the actual metadata
which is encoded in JSON. Furthermore, the new data format is a lot more
complex to allow for more flexible setups, like e.g. having multiple
encrypted segments and other features that weren't previously possible.
Because of this, it was decided that it doesn't make sense to keep both
LUKS1 and LUKS2 support in the same module and instead to implement it
in two different modules luks and luks2.

The proposed support for LUKS2 is able to make use of the metadata to
decrypt such disks. Note though that in the current version, only the
PBKDF2 key derival function is supported. This can mostly attributed to
the fact that the libgcrypt library currently has no support for either
Argon2i or Argon2id, which are the remaining KDFs supported by LUKS2. It
wouldn't have been much of a problem to bundle those algorithms with
GRUB itself, but it was decided against that in order to keep down the
number of patches required for initial LUKS2 support. Adding it in the
future would be trivial, given that the code structure is already in
place.

528938d503 json: Import upstream jsmn-1.1.0
The upcoming support for LUKS2 encryption will require a JSON parser to
decode all parameters required for decryption of a drive. As there is
currently no other tool that requires JSON, and as gnulib does not
provide a parser, we need to introduce a new one into the code base. The
backend for the JSON implementation is going to be the jsmn library [1].
It has several benefits that make it a very good fit for inclusion in
GRUB:

    - It is licensed under MIT.
    - It is written in C89.
    - It has no dependencies, not even libc.
    - It is small with only about 500 lines of code.
    - It doesn't do any dynamic memory allocation.
    - It is testen on x86, amd64, ARM and AVR.

The library itself comes as a single header, only, that contains both
declarations and definitions. The exposed interface is kind of
simplistic, though, and does not provide any convenience features
whatsoever. Thus there will be a separate interface provided by GRUB
around this parser that is going to be implemented in the following
commit. This change only imports jsmn.h from tag v1.1.0 and adds it
unmodified to a new json module with the following command:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zserge/jsmn/v1.1.0/jsmn.h \
    -o grub-core/lib/json/jsmn.h

b78d570a36 templates: Add GRUB_DISABLE_UUID
The grub-mkconfig and 10_linux scripts by default attempt to use a UUID to
set the root kernel command line parameter and the $root GRUB environment
variable.

The former can be disabled by setting the GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID variable
to "true", but there is currently no way to disable the latter.

The generated grub config uses the search command with the --fs-uuid option
to find the device that has to be set as $root, i.e:

 search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ...

This is usually more reliable but in some cases it may not be appropriate,
so this patch introduces a new GRUB_DISABLE_UUID variable that can be used
to disable searching for the $root device by filesystem UUID.

When disabled, the $root device will be set to the value specified in the
device.map as found by the grub-probe --target=compatibility_hint option.

When setting GRUB_DISABLE_UUID=true, the GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID and
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID variables will also be set to "true" unless
these have been explicitly set to "false".

That way, the GRUB_DISABLE_UUID variable can be used to force using the
device names for both GRUB and Linux.

ee4bd79ef2 templates: Fix bad test on GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU
The GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU option is different than the others in the sense
that it has to be set to "y" instead of "true" to be enabled.

That causes a lot of confusion to users, some may wrongly set it to "true"
expecting that will work the same than with most options, and some may set
it to "yes" since for other options the value to set is a word and not a
single character.

This patch changes all the grub.d scripts using the GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU
option, so they check if it was set to "true" instead of "y", making it
consistent with all the other options.

But to keep backward compatibility for users that set the option to "y" in
/etc/default/grub file, keep testing for this value. And also do it for
"yes", since it is a common mistake made by users caused by this option
being inconsistent with the others.

3ea9bc3c06 docs: Document newly introduced net_dhcp command
Commit 5bc41db756 ("net/dhcp: Add explicit net_dhcp command")
introduced the new command "net_dhcp", which (for now) is an alias for
the existing "net_bootp". Unfortunately the TEXI documentation was not
adjusted accordingly.

Rename the existing paragraph about net_bootp to read net_dhcp instead,
and make the net_bootp stanza point to this new command.

On the way add the newly parsed TFTP_SERVER_NAME and BOOTFILE_NAME
packets to the list of supported DHCP options.

Fixes bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56725

688023cd0a smbios: Add a module for retrieving SMBIOS information
The following are two use cases from Rajat Jain <rajatjain@juniper.net>:

  1) We have a board that boots Linux and this board itself can be plugged
     into one of different chassis types. We need to pass different
     parameters to the kernel based on the "CHASSIS_TYPE" information
     that is passed by the bios in the DMI/SMBIOS tables.

  2) We may have a USB stick that can go into multiple boards, and the
     exact kernel to be loaded depends on the machine information
     (PRODUCT_NAME etc) passed via the DMI.

f2b9083f85 probe: Support probing for partition UUID with --part-uuid
Linux supports root=PARTUUID=<partuuid> boot argument, so add
support for probing it. Compared to the fs UUID, the partition
UUID does not change when reformatting a partition.

For now, only disks using a GPT partition table are supported.
