Some terminals, like `grub-core/term/at_keyboard.c`, return `-1` in case they are not ready yet.
if (! KEYBOARD_ISREADY (grub_inb (KEYBOARD_REG_STATUS))) return -1;
Currently, that is treated as a key press, and the menu time-out is cancelled/cleared. This is unwanted, as the boot is stopped and the user manually has to select a menu entry. Therefore, adapt the condition to require the key value also to be greater than 0.
`GRUB_TERM_NO_KEY` is defined as 0, so the condition could be collapsed to greater or equal than (≥) 0, but the compiler will probably do that for us anyway, so keep the cases separate for clarity.
This is tested with coreboot, the GRUB default payload, and the configuration file `grub.cfg` below.
For GRUB:
$ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --with-platform=coreboot $ make -j`nproc` $ make default_payload.elf
For coreboot:
$ more grub.cfg serial --unit 0 --speed 115200 set timeout=5 menuentry 'halt' { halt } $ build/cbfstool build/coreboot.rom add-payload \ -f /dev/shm/grub/default_payload.elf -n fallback/payload -c lzma $ build/cbfstool build/coreboot.rom add -f grub.cfg -n etc/grub.cfg -t raw $ qemu-system-x86_64 --version QEMU emulator version 3.1.0 (Debian 1:3.1+dfsg-2+b1) Copyright (c) 2003-2018 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers $ qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc -bios build/coreboot.rom -serial stdio -nic none
Currently, the time-out is cancelled/cleared. With the commit, it is not.
With a small GRUB payload, this the problem is also reproducible on the ASRock E350M1.
