When handling a regular LVM volume, GRUB can fail with the message:
error: disk `lvmid/******-****-****-****-****-****-****/******-****-****-****-****-****-******' not found.
If the condition which triggers this exists, grub-probe will report the
error mentioned above. Similarly, the GRUB boot code will fail to detect
LVM volumes, resulting in a failure to boot off of LVM disks/partitions.
The condition can be created on any LVM VG by an LVM configuration change,
so any system with /boot on LVM can become unbootable at "any" time (after
any LVM configuration change).
The problem is caused by an incorrect computation of mda_end in disk/lvm.c,
when the metadata area wraps around. Apparently, this can start happening at
around 220 metadata changes to the VG.

The test corpus for version-1 RAID generated an infinite recursion
in grub_partition_iterate() while attempting to read the superblock.
The reason for the issue was that the data region overlapped with
the superblock.
The infinite call loop looks like this:
grub_partition_iterate() -> partmap->iterate() ->
-> grub_disk_read() -> grub_disk_read_small() ->
-> grub_disk_read_small_real() -> grub_diskfilter_read() ->
-> read_lv() -> read_segment() -> grub_diskfilter_read_node() ->

It was reported in the #grub IRC channel on Libera that decryption of
LUKS2 partitions fails with errors about invalid digests and/or salts.
In all of these cases, what failed was decoding the Base64
representation of these, where the encoded data contained invalid
characters.
As it turns out, the root cause is that json-c, which is used by
cryptsetup to read and write the JSON header, will escape some
characters by prepending a backslash when writing JSON strings by
default. Most importantly, json-c also escapes the forward slash, which
is part of the Base64 alphabet. Because GRUB doesn't know to unescape
such characters, decoding this string will rightfully fail.
Interestingly, this issue has until now only been reported by users of
Ubuntu 18.04. And a bit of digging in fact reveals that cryptsetup has
changed the logic in a054206d (Suppress useless slash escaping in json
lib, 2018-04-20), which has been released with cryptsetup v2.0.3. Ubuntu
18.04 is still shipping with cryptsetup v2.0.2 though, which explains
why this is not a more frequent issue.
Fix the issue by using our new grub_json_unescape() helper function
that handles unescaping for us.

Using the disk read hook mechanism, setup a read hook on the source disk
which will read from the given header file during the scan and recovery
cryptodisk backend functions. Disk read hooks are executed after the data
has been read from the disk. This is okay, because the read hook is given
the read buffer before its sent back to the caller. In this case, the hook
can then overwrite the data read from the disk device with data from the
header file sent in as the read hook data. This is transparent to the
read caller. Since the callers of this function have just opened the
source disk, there are no current read hooks, so there's no need to
save/restore them nor consider if they should be called or not.
This hook assumes that the header is at the start of the volume, which
is not the case for some formats (e.g. GELI). So GELI will return an
error if a detached header is specified. It also can only be used
with formats where the detached header file can be written to the
first blocks of the volume and the volume could still be unlocked.
So the header file can not be formatted differently from the on-disk
header. If these assumpts are not met, detached header file processing
must be specially handled in the cryptodisk backend module.
The hook will be called potentially many times by a backend. This is fine
because of the assumptions mentioned and the read hook reads from absolute
offsets and is stateless.
Also add a --header (short -H) option to cryptomount which takes a file
argument.

Some devices report IoAlign values but seem to require buffers with
higher alignment.
The UEFI specification is saying: "IoAlign values of 0 and 1 mean that
the buffer can be placed anywhere in memory. Otherwise, IoAlign must
be a power of 2, and the requirement is that the start address of
a buffer must be evenly divisible by IoAlign with no remainder."
Some devices report IoAlign of 2, however seem to require 4 bytes
aligned buffers. It seems that this got misinterpreted by some vendors
assuming IoAlign is 2^IoAlign. There is also such a hint in an example
in earlier versions of the Driver Writer's Guide:
ScsiPassThruMode.IoAlign = 2; // Data must be alligned on 4-byte boundary
Some devices report no alignment requirements at all but seem to read
corrupted data or report read errors when passing unaligned buffers.
Work around by using an alignment of at least BlockSize (typically 512
bytes) in any case. If IoAlign (interpreted as per UEFI specification)
requests a higher alignment than BlockSize, follow IoAlign still.
Note: The problem has only noticed with compressed squashfs. It seems
that ext4 (and presumably other file system drivers) pass buffers with
a higher alignment already.

345 | ptr = *(grub_uint32_t *) 0xfffffffc;
| ~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is caused by GCC regression in 11/12 [1]. In a nut shell, the
warning is about detected invalid accesses at non-zero offsets to NULL
pointers. Since hardwired constant address is treated as NULL plus an
offset in the same underlying code, the warning is therefore triggered.
Instead of inserting #pragma all over the places where literal pointers
are accessed to avoid diagnosing array-bounds, we can try to borrow the
idea from Linux kernel that the absolute_pointer() macro [2][3] is used
to disconnect a pointer using literal address from it's original object,
hence GCC won't be able to make assumptions on the boundary while doing
pointer arithmetic. With that we can greatly reduce the code we have to
cover up by making initial literal pointer assignment to use the new
wrapper but not having to track everywhere literal pointers are
accessed. This also makes code looks cleaner.
Please note the grub_absolute_pointer() macro requires to be invoked in
a function as long as it is compound expression. Some global variables
with literal pointers has been changed to local ones in order to use
grub_absolute_pointer() to initialize it. The shuffling is basically done
in a selective and careful way that the variable's scope doesn't matter
being local or global, for example, the global variable must not get
modified at run time throughout. For the record, here's the list of
global variables got shuffled in this patch:

Here the "dev" variable can point to a freed cryptodisk device if the

the passed device. Since grub_cryptodisk_scan_device_real() assumes that
grub_cryptodisk_insert() is always successful, it will return the device,
though the device was freed.
Change grub_cryptodisk_insert() to not free the passed device on failure.
Then on grub_cryptodisk_insert() failure, free the device pointer. This is
done by going to the label "error", which will call cryptodisk_close() to
free the device and set the device pointer to NULL, so that a pointer to

grub_cryptodisk_scan_device() will now only return 1 if a search_uuid has

a cryptodisk of the requested UUID is already open.
To implement this grub_cryptodisk_scan_device_real() is modified to return

With this change grub_device_iterate() will return 1 when a crypto device is

opened. Prior to this change, trying to mount an already successfully opened
device would trigger an error with the message "no such cryptodisk found",

Currently the grub_diskfilter_memberlist() function returns all physical

However, this is suboptimal as it doesn't fit the intended behavior of
returning underlying devices that make up the LV. To give a clear
picture, the result should be identical to running commands below to
display the logical volumes with underlying physical volumes in use.

--- Logical volume ---
...
--- Segments ---
Logical extents 0 to 4604:
Type linear
Physical volume /dev/vda2
Physical extents 512 to 5116
As shown above, we can know system-root LV uses only /dev/vda2 to
allocate it's extents, or we can say that /dev/vda2 is the member device
comprising the system-root LV.
It is important to be precise on the member devices, because that helps
to avoid pulling in excessive dependency. Let's use an example to
demonstrate why it is needed.
localhost:~ # findmnt /

We can learn from above that /dev/mapper/data is an encrypted volume and
also gets assigned to volume group "system" as one of it's physical
volumes. And also it is not used by root device, /dev/mapper/system-root,
for allocating extents, so it shouldn't be taking part in the process of
setting up GRUB to access root device.
However, running grub-install reports error as volume group "system"
contains encrypted volume.
error: attempt to install to encrypted disk without cryptodisk
enabled. Set `GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y' in file `/etc/default/grub'.
Certainly we can enable GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y and move on, but that

Additionally, typing passphrase for every system startup can be a big
hassle of which most users would like to avoid.
This patch solves the problem by returning exact physical volume, /dev/vda2,
rightly used by system-root from the example above, thus grub-install will
not error out because the excessive encrypted device to boot the root device
