2017-11-09 14:19:31 dann frazier description [Impact] * grub exit on arm64-efi causes exception [Test Case] * Using grub cmdline and exit shall return to UEFI [Regression Potential] * Low regression risk due to - Only codes on exit with efi platform modified - patch cherry-picked from upstream and already in grub2 since zesty [Other Info] * Patch on upstream commit c945ca75c3b2b900040b905323b1226cb60a1166 Author: Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> Date: Fri Aug 15 12:22:43 2014 -0400 Fix exit to EFI firmware The current code for EFI grub_exit() calls grub_efi_fini() before returning to firmware. In the case of ARM, this leaves a timer event running which could lead to a firmware crash. This patch changes this so that grub_machine_fini() is called with a NORETURN flag. This allows machine-specific shutdown to happen as well as the shutdown done by grub_efi_fini().
