--------------------------------------------------
Note that this is not the first time this happened, before I was blaming
it on kernel updates, see bug 1646298
System was recovered by reinstalling grub following the following steps:
* Create Ubuntu live usb
* Boot from it in UEFI mode
* Execute:
# /dev/sda2 -> /
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
sudo chroot /mnt
mount -a
ls -la /sys/firmware/efi
# should result in bunch of files/folders
grub-install
update-grub
