From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 12:43:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] EFI: console: Do not set colorstate until the first text output GRUB_MOD_INIT(normal) does an unconditional: grub_env_set ("color_normal", "light-gray/black"); which triggers a grub_term_setcolorstate() call. The original version of the "efi/console: Do not set text-mode until we actually need it" patch: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2018-03/msg00125.html Protected against this by caching the requested state in grub_console_setcolorstate () and then only applying it when the first text output actually happens. During refactoring to move the grub_console_setcolorstate () up higher in the grub-core/term/efi/console.c file the code to cache the color-state + bail early was accidentally dropped. Restore the cache the color-state + bail early behavior from the original.
