Description Edward Tomasz Napierala freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-09-22 21:45:58 UTC
In 12-ALPHA6 the boot menu is displayed even if autoboot_delay is set to -1 in /boot/loader.conf.   The menu is not usable, so it's not a security problem, just a cosmetic one.

Hi,

I'll try and make some time to look at this in the next day or so.

Lift autoboot_delay processing up a level

Revised patch- shouldn't affect this, but previous iteration broke the autoboot_delay="NO" case... invoking menu.autoboot with a nil delay will now do nothing, leaving the caller to come up with a reasonable default delay. This lines up with how I envision third-party usage (in, say, local.lua) to want to do things if they're invoking autoboot manually.

Log:
  lualoader: Don't draw loader menu with autoboot_delay=-1

  This was mostly a cosmetic issue. autoboot_delay=-1 is documented to bypass
  the loader menu and immediately execute the boot command, but lualoader
  would draw the menu and immediately execute the boot command. No interaction
  was possible with the menu.

  The fix lifts autoboot_delay processing out of menu.autoboot, which now
  takes a delay and does nothing if no delay is specified. This lines up with
  my expectations of menu.autoboot's usage from a third party, which may
  want more control over the process than the default behavior.
