Subject: [PATCH] commands/boot: Add API to pass context to loader

Loaders rely on global variables for saving context which is consumed

in the boot hook and freed in the unload hook. In the case where a loader

command is executed twice, calling grub_loader_set a second time executes

the unload hook, but in some cases this runs when the loader's global

context has already been updated, resulting in the updated context being

freed and potential use-after-free bugs when the boot hook is subsequently

called.

This adds a new API (grub_loader_set_ex) which allows a loader to specify

context that is passed to its boot and unload hooks. This is an alternative

to requiring that loaders call grub_loader_unset before mutating their

global context.
