d1a470b694 loader/arm64/xen_boot: Remove correctly all modules loaded by xen_module command
We need to use FOR_LIST_ELEMENTS_SAFE() instead of FOR_LIST_ELEMENTS()
as single_binary_unload(), called during the loop, is changing the list
using grub_list_remove(). Given the environment probably the old code
simply removed only the first module on the list not freeing all the others.

067bd35cd4 efi: Remove arch specific image headers for RISC-V, ARM64 and ARM
The arch specific image header details are not very useful as most of
the GRUB just looks at the PE/COFF spec parameters (PE32 magic and
header offset).

Remove the arch specific images headers and define a generic arch
headers that provide enough PE/COFF fields for the GRUB to parse
kernel images correctly.

93afdf8597 arm64/efi/linux: Ignore FDT unless we need to modify it
Now that we implemented support for the LoadFile2 protocol for initrd
loading, there is no longer a need to pass the initrd parameters via
the device tree. This means that when the LoadFile2 protocol is being
used, there is no reason to update the device tree in the first place,
and so we can ignore it entirely.

The only remaining reason to deal with the devicetree is if we are
using the "devicetree" command to load one from disk, so tweak the
logic in grub_fdt_install() to take that into account.

75e8d0d980 arm64/efi/linux: Implement LoadFile2 initrd loading protocol for Linux
Recent Linux kernels will invoke the LoadFile2 protocol installed on
a well-known vendor media path to load the initrd if it is exposed by
the firmware. Using this method is preferred for two reasons:
  - the Linux kernel is in charge of allocating the memory, and so it can
    implement any placement policy it wants (given that these tend to
    change between kernel versions),
  - it is no longer necessary to modify the device tree provided by the
    firmware.

So let's install this protocol when handling the "initrd" command if
such a recent kernel was detected (based on the PE/COFF image version),
and defer loading the initrd contents until the point where the kernel
invokes the LoadFile2 protocol.

12edfe4221 loader/arm64/linux: Account for COFF headers appearing at unexpected offsets
The way we load the Linux and PE/COFF image headers depends on a fixed
placement of the COFF header at offset 0x40 into the file. This is
a reasonable default, given that this is where Linux emits it today.
However, in order to comply with the PE/COFF spec, which allows this
header to appear anywhere in the file, let's ensure that we read the
header from where it actually appears in the file if it is not located
at offset 0x40.

b040285628 arm/linux: Unify ARM/arm64 vs Xen PE/COFF header handling
Xen has its own version of the image header, to account for the
additional PE/COFF header fields. Since we are adding references to
those in the shared EFI loader code, update the common definitions
and drop the Xen specific one which no longer has a purpose.

Since in both cases, the call to grub_arch_efi_linux_check_image() is
preceded by a load of the image header, let's move the load into that
function, and rename it to grub_arch_efi_linux_load_image_header().

69edb31205 loader/arm64/linux: Remove magic number header field check
The "ARM\x64" magic number in the file header identifies an image as one
that implements the bare metal boot protocol, allowing the loader to
simply move the file to a suitably aligned address in memory, with
sufficient headroom for the trailing .bss segment (the required memory
size is described in the header as well).

Note of this matters for GRUB, as it only supports EFI boot. EFI does
not care about this magic number, and nor should GRUB: this prevents us
from booting other PE linux images, such as the generic EFI zboot
decompressor, which is a pure PE/COFF image, and does not implement the
bare metal boot protocol.

So drop the magic number check.

a2f26adfef efi: Restrict arm/arm64 linux loader initrd placement
The 32-bit arm Linux kernel is built as a zImage, which self-decompresses
down to near start of RAM. In order for an initrd/initramfs to be
accessible, it needs to be placed within the first ~768MB of RAM.
The initrd loader built into the kernel EFI stub restricts this down to
512MB for simplicity - so enable the same restriction in grub.

For arm64, the requirement is within a 1GB aligned 32GB window also
covering the (runtime) kernel image. Since the EFI stub loader itself
will attempt to relocate to near start of RAM, force initrd to be loaded
completely within the first 32GB of RAM.

it never clears initrd_ctx->components.  grub_initrd_close() then frees that
address, which is stale data from the stack.  If the stack happens to have a
stale *address* there that matches a recent allocation, then you'll get a
double free later.
