otherwise, it's not clear to the operator what's happening
i'm normally against such verbose feedback, because it's bloat,
but this minimal amount of feedback will make the build system
more pleasant to use, especially during testing.

don't do it after, because that means the main project
is saved under src/ before we know whether the subrepo
was downloaded.
the "depend" variable (in config/git/) is no longer used
for projects that go in subdirectories of a parent; now,
we use config/submodules/ for this type of dependency.
download the "depend" projects (as per config/git/) first.
this way, if they fail, the main one will fail, but if
they succeed and main fails, you can just run the main
download again and it won't fail.
this fixes a bug where, depending on how you download a
set of projects and depending on the order which you do so,
a given project can become un-downloadable on current design,
because git will complain that a directory already exists.
this fix is done not only in code (by this commit), but
by prior configuration changes.

only use config/submodules/ which the build system then
uses to run git clones manually, replicating the submodules
feature. we must never use a project's own gitmodules feature,
because we can't easily control it. better to let it break first,
and then figure out what modules to add manually, so that we
have only what we need for each project.
it's done this way, because git's own submodules feature
doesn't have very good error checking in general, nor
does it have good redundancy.
with the current design, we can declare backup repositories
for each submodule.
we replicate it precisely. for example:
3rdparty/vboot
this is a coreboot submodule, and we handle that in the
coreboot trees.
however, our current design also allows you to do this even
if the upstream repository does not contain a .gitmodules file

we're not checking for bad elfs, but the check itself was bad
due to a quirk in how sh works. really, really obscure bug.

again: the "depend" variable must never be used for subprojects
that point to a subdirectory of the main project, because there's
no clean way of handling this in case of error conditions.
make it a submodule under config/submodules/. this is for the
documentation, including static site generator documentation,
and image files (photos).
as of this revision, there are now only those "depend" projects
defined in config/git/, where the destination directory of the
subject is not a subdirectory of the main project, so:
in a subsequest revision, i will mitigate an existing bug whereby
failure of the dependency project leaves the main one still
intact, breaking builds; this revision enables that to be done.
from now on, subproject-to-subdirectory-of-main-project will
be avoided in config/git/; config/submodules/ will be used.

same as the previous patch, we must no longer use "define"
variables in config/git/ when the path is a subdirectory of
a given project, because it means that the download can only
happen after the main one, and currently if that fails, the
download of the main repo would remain intact, breaking future
builds in ways that we can't control - to be clear, it could
be controlled, but with added code complexity in the build
system, so:
put it in config/submodules/

don't define it as a "depend" variable in config/git/,
because it means putting the files in a subdirectory of
an existing project was was already then downloaded, and
that means it can't be downloaded first; if the download
of it fails, the old download is left intact.
this bug isn't currently fixed in the build system, at all,
so this and other patches are being made to mitigate it.

this brings the handling of serprog projects in sync
with canoeboot, which relies on the "depend" variable
to get the needed submodules, because cbmk does not
download submodules for these projects
lbmk does download submodules. i want it in sync with
cbmk for this, to make merging easier between both
projects, because i'm going to make a change on both
projects, whereby config/submodules/ is used exclusively

in particular, the coreboot build system may auto-download
submodules when building cbfstool; vboot for instance.
we do not want such unpredictable behaviour, so now we

now it no longer hardcodes a check for whether the
project name is coreboot. this maintains the same
behaviour but will now work for other multi-tree

certain code checks for build.list, to skip it, for
example in items()
we already use config/data/grub to store grub config data
that applied to all trees
create these directories too:
config/data/coreboot
config/data/u-boot
config/data/seabios
move the respective build.list files in here, and also
to config/data/grub
now multi-tree projects contain, per directory, just the
target.cfg file and the patches directory. this is much
cleaner, because some of the logic can be simplified more
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

instead, check for the presence of target.cfg files
not in config/project/ but config/project/tree/
the way this check is done, it merely returns 1 if
config/project/*/target.cfg is detected, and returns
0 in all other cases, even if config/project/target.cfg
exists
that way, if the maintainer accidentally adds a
target.cfg in the main directory, the given multi-tree
project will not break

this avoids writing the version/versiondate files as root.
this complements the previous fix, that avoided writing those
same files when running the dependencies command.
initial setup of the build system requires root, to run the
dependencies script, but otherwise the build system prevents
running as root for everything else, so we must avoid writing
the version/versiondate files as root.
that same avoidance is necessary when checking whether running
other commands as root; ironically, this check then prevented
running the build system at all!
the bug should be fully fixed now. i found this quite by accident
the other day, when testing something else.
good thing this got fixed because the release!

do it strategically, in just the right place so that the
version and versiondate files aren't written.
otherwise, version/versiondate are written as root and
the build system becomes unusable after that, unless you
reset the file ownerships from root. hardly user-friendly.

already of saying "found", say "already exists"
this means the output of these commands more user
friendly and intuitive:
./update trees -b grub default
./update trees -b coreboot i945
this is just an example. when an ELF file already
exists, the build is skipped even if src isn't downloaded.
this design is intentional, because it means that you can
use previous builds if you want to save time on another.

Re-add xHCI only on haswell and broadwell machines, where
they are needed. Otherwise, keep the same GRUB code.
The xHCI patches were removed because they caused issues
on Sandybridge-based Dell Latitude laptops. See:
https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/216
The issue was not reported elsewhere, including on the
Haswell/Broadwell hardware where they are needed, but the
build system could only build one version of GRUB.
The older machines do not need xHCI patches, because they
either do not have xHCI patches, or work (in GRUB) because
they're in EHCI mode when running the payload.
So, the problem is that we need the xHCI patches for GRUB
on Haswell/Broadwell hardware, but the patches break
Sandybridge hardware, and we only had the one build of GRUB.
To mitigate this problem, the build system now supports
building multiple revisions of GRUB, with different patches,
and each given coreboot target can say which GRUB tree to use
by setting this in target.cfg:
grubtree="xhci"
In the above example, the "xhci" tree would be used. Some
generic GRUB config has been moved to config/data/grub/
and config/grub/ now looks like config/coreboot/ - also,
the grub.cfg file (named "payload" in each tree) is copied
to the GRUB source tree as ".config", then added to GRUB's
memdisk in the same way, as grub.cfg.
Several other design changes had to be made because of this:
* grub.cfg in memdisk no longer automatically jumps to one
in CBFS, but now shows a menuentry for it if available
* Certain commands in script/trees are disabled for GRUB,
such as *config make commands.
* gnulib is now defined in config/submodule/grub/, instead
of config/git/grub - and this mitigates an existing bug
where downloading gnulib first would make grub no longer
possible to download in lbmk.
The coreboot option CONFIG_FINALIZE_USB_ROUTE_XHCI has been
re-enabled on: Dell OptiPlex 9020 MT, Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF,
Lenovo ThinkPad T440p and Lenovo ThinkPad W541 - now USB should
work again in GRUB.
The GRUB payload has been re-enabled on HP EliteBook 820 G2.
This change will enable per-board GRUB optimisation in the
future. For example, we hardcode what partitions and LVMs
GRUB scans because * is slow on ICH7-based machines, due
to GRUB's design. On other machines, * is reasonably fast,
for automatically enumerating the list of devices for boot.
Use of * (and other wildcards) could enable our GRUB payload
to automatically boot more distros, with minimal fuss. This
can be done at a later date, in subsequent revisions.

it doesn't build, at present, but isn't used by any
coreboot targets, so the build issue does not come up
during release builds, but i did find it laying around
during my audits.

but the current config is broken, so: remove it.

in practise, the machines we support don't have
the option of including so many disks; 8 seems like
the most reasonable default. additionally, it's
unreasonable to expect *20 partitions*
this hardcoding is done to avoid using *, which is
slow in grub on some machines (the grub kernel always
re-enumerates the devices during every operation,
without caching any of it)
yet, the hardcoding is also slow; balance it a bit
better by searching fewer permutations, but not so few
that it would likely break a lot of setups

we already supported syslinux but not grub
support grub by scanning for the most common paths,
based on the most popular distros
we don't hardcode this with * because it slows down
the boot, and in practise many distros still use the
same grub.cfg location as in BIOS systems (the EFI
one is often just a link to the BIOS one)
