[PATCH 10/10] efi: Fix the type of grub_efi_status_t

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

From: Peter Jones <address@hidden>

Currently, in some builds with some checkers, we see:

1. grub-core/disk/efi/efidisk.c:601: error[shiftTooManyBitsSigned]: Shifting 
signed 64-bit value by 63 bits is undefined behaviour

This is because grub_efi_status_t is defined as grub_efi_intn_t, which is
signed, and shifting into the sign bit is not defined behavior.  UEFI fixed
this in the spec in 2.3:

2.3 | Change the defined type of EFI_STATUS from INTN to UINTN | May 7, 2009

And the current EDK2 code has:
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-//
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-// Status codes common to all execution phases
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-//
MdePkg/Include/Base.h:typedef UINTN RETURN_STATUS;
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-/**
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  Produces a RETURN_STATUS code with the highest bit set.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @param  StatusCode    The status code value to convert 
into a warning code.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-                        StatusCode must be in the range 
0x00000000..0x7FFFFFFF.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @return The value specified by StatusCode with the 
highest bit set.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-**/
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-#define ENCODE_ERROR(StatusCode)     
((RETURN_STATUS)(MAX_BIT | (StatusCode)))
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-/**
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  Produces a RETURN_STATUS code with the highest bit 
clear.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @param  StatusCode    The status code value to convert 
into a warning code.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-                        StatusCode must be in the range 
0x00000000..0x7FFFFFFF.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @return The value specified by StatusCode with the 
highest bit clear.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-**/
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-#define ENCODE_WARNING(StatusCode)   
((RETURN_STATUS)(StatusCode))
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-/**
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  Returns TRUE if a specified RETURN_STATUS code is an 
error code.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  This function returns TRUE if StatusCode has the high 
bit set.  Otherwise, FALSE is returned.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @param  StatusCode    The status code value to evaluate.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @retval TRUE          The high bit of StatusCode is set.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @retval FALSE         The high bit of StatusCode is 
clear.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-**/
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-#define RETURN_ERROR(StatusCode)     
(((INTN)(RETURN_STATUS)(StatusCode)) < 0)
...
Uefi/UefiBaseType.h:typedef RETURN_STATUS             EFI_STATUS;

This patch makes grub's implementation match the Edk2 declaration with regards
to the signedness of the type.
