GRUB: don't spew "Unknown key 0xff" in error

2023-10-31T10:36:16+00:00

Faulty keyboards make GRUB unusable. Normally it happens
when a user plugs in a faulty USB keyboard, but if it's
the laptop keyboard, then GRUB becomes unusable and the
user cannot boot anything.

So, your laptop keyboard is a ticking timebomb if you use
GRUB; with this patch, that's no longer the case.

fix grub keyboard init on dell e6400 and e6430

2023-10-31T07:30:02+00:00

also, enable seabios_withgrub on e6400, but not grubfirst;
right now, we also support dgpu which would brick on
grubfirst. on my tested nvidia model, loading grub from
seabios worked, so i'm going to re-add seabios_grubfirst
functionality like in older libreboot revisions, enabled
selectively on a given target.

e6430 currently only has igpu support anyway, but i've done
the same thing there, in anticipation of future dgpu support.

e6400 and e6430 ec report scancode set 2 with translation
by default, but only actually output scancode set 1

grub is trying to use scancode set 2 without scancode
translation, so the key inputs get messed up

fix it by forcing scancode set 2 with translation, but
only on coreboot; other build targets on GRUB will
retain the same behaviour as before

courtesy goes to Nicholas Chin who inspired me, and
helped me to fix this. tested on Nicholas's E6400
and E6430, and my E6400; Riku also tested it on
non-Dell, as did I (some thinkpads), and all seems OK.

The new behaviour in coreboot GRUB is essentially no
different to that of SeaBIOS, which does the same.

change default volname in grub.cfg

2023-10-20T23:02:15+00:00

it's been a while since we did encrypted /boot
and the current name sucks.

it's unlikely that anyone still uses it, but
people will soon

change the default assumed lvm name to grubcrypt
and stick to that.

grub.cfg: disable the pager

2023-10-02T21:03:10+00:00

The pager causes trouble in some cases, where the user has
to press enter at boot time depending on the configuration.

Interactive use is one thing, but we should leave this
disabled for smoother experience. If the user *wishes* to
use the shell, they can always just enable the pager
themselves by doing:

set pager=1

set grub.cfg timeout to 5s (10 on some boards)

2023-09-08T23:01:22+00:00

target.cfg can now specify e.g.

grub_timeout=20

this would then be inserted as timeout.cfg in cbfs,
containing the instruction:
set timeout=20

HP laptops need a bit of extra time, due to the delay
caused by the EC bug workaround deployed in GRUB

desktops in general need extra time. this too is set to
10s, like the HP laptops.

only insert timeout.cfg if actually needed (declared in
target.cfg), otherwise grub.cfg will default to 5s
