Finally, another patch is applied to fix the fallback mechanism, which was

accidentally broken by Red Hat's patches. This has been submitted to Red Hat in

## How to import the Red Hat patches
|
||||
|
||||
Red Hat maintains a fork of GRUB on GitHub with branches for each Fedora release. Generate a diff between the latest upstream release and the latest Fedora branch.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] script/execute: Don't let trailing blank lines determine
|
||||
the return code
|
||||
|
||||
grub_script_execute_sourcecode() parses and executes code one line at a
|
||||
time, updating the return code each time because only the last line
|
||||
determines the final status. However, trailing new lines were also
|
||||
executed, masking any failure on the previous line. Fix this by only
|
||||
trying to execute the command when there is actually one present.
|
||||
|
||||
This has presumably never been noticed because this code is not used by
|
||||
regular functions, only in special cases like eval and menu entries. The
|
||||
latter generally don't return at all, having booted an OS. When failing
|
||||
to boot, upstream GRUB triggers the fallback mechanism regardless of the
|
||||
return code.
|
||||
|
||||
We noticed the problem while using Red Hat's patches, which change this
|
||||
behaviour to take account of the return code. In that case, a failure
|
||||
takes you back to the menu rather than triggering a fallback.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] normal/menu: Check return code of the script when
|
||||
executing a menu entry
|
||||
|
||||
Don't rely on grub_errno here because grub_script_execute_new_scope()
|
||||
calls grub_print_error(), which always resets grub_errno back to
|
||||
GRUB_ERR_NONE. It may also get reset by grub_wait_after_message().
|
||||
|
||||
This problem was observed when a "bad signature" error resulted in the
|
||||
menu being redisplayed rather than the fallback mechanism being
|
||||
triggered, although another change was also needed to fix it. This only
|
||||
happens with Red Hat's patches because upstream GRUB triggers the
|
||||
fallback mechanism regardless of the return code.
