When vendor files were not needed on a given board,
the script would directly exit. This is bad, because
the inject functions are called directly from the main
script, which means the parent instance of lbmk.
This means that the lock file and temporary files were
not being removed on exit. On a subsequent run, this
would cause the error stating that a lock file is present,
which would cause further error, making the user believe
something is broken in lbmk.
Modify the behaviour accordingly; exits are now returns,
and these are handled in the calling functions, in such
a way that a proper exit occurs, whereby temporary files
and the lock file are deleted.
For context, please read the main "build" script where
it calls vendor_inject and vendor_download. At the end
of that script, it calls tmp_cleanup, which removes the
TMPDIR that was created, and the lock file. In lbmk,
the TMPDIR is not /tmp, but rather a subdirectory
under /tmp, so that further calls to mktemp create
everything under one single temporary directory, which
lbmk automatically removes on exit.
Therefore, this patch also avoids leaving temporary files
laying around on the disk.

The appdir.patch file was used on the older deguard
version, prior to Mate Kukri's rewrite. This patch is
no longer required, and no longer used, so it can be
removed safely from lbmk.

The exit was dependent upon install_packages returning
zero status, which it always would in practise, due to
its design, but this exit must always be observed, so
the code has been modified to honour this design.
A direct exit violates lbmk's design in most instances,
where a temporary directory and lock file has already
been created; at this stage, no such act was performed,
so a direct exit is perfectly acceptable.

we needed these for extracting intel vga roms from
lenovoo updates, for t480, very briefly. about an hour
after i pushed that patch, mate kukri fixed libgfxinit
and then i removed the vgarom integration because it
wasn't needed anymore.
however, i forgot to remove geteltorito/mtools from
dependencies. some distros like fedora were problematic
about it.
the best thing about bugs is when you don't have to fix them.

in this setup, seabios is never the default payload, grub is,
but only if grub is enabled.
set this in target.cfg:
payload_grubsea="y"
if payload_grub isn't enabled, this is auto-set to n
ditto if initmode=normal
NOTE: if flashing libgfx setups, you should make sure
that you're not booting with a graphics card, only intel
graphics. this setting will intentionally not be documented,
because it's not recommended, but is being implemented for
testing purposes (and i implemented it for some guy who i
think is cool). i'll probably also use this myself, since
i already do grub-only setups on all my own machines.
seagrub is the default on x86 because of past instabilities
with grub. to mitigate in case of future issues, since seabios
is always stable, we reduce the chance of bricks.

Though not used in coreboot builds, and not injected into the
builds in any way, these files are now created seperately when
handling T480/T480s vendor files:
vendorfiles/t480/tb.bin
vendorfiles/t480s/tb.bin
These are created by extracting Lenovo's ThunderBolt firmware
from update files. The updated firmware fixes a bug; older firmware
enabled debug commands that wrote logs to the TB controller's
own flash IC, and it'd get full up with logs, bricking the controller.
If you've already been screwed by this, you must flash externally,
using a padded firmware from Lenovo's updates.
Lenovo's own updater requires creating a boot CD or booting
Windows. This patch in lbmk auto-downloads just the firmware,
and you can flash it externally.
You could simply do this as a matter of course, when installing
Libreboot. You are recommended to update the Lenovo UEFI/EC firmwares
first, before installing Libreboot; please look at the Libreboot
documentation to know exactly which versions.
Then dump the ThunderBolt firmware first, to be sure, and then you
can flash these files. Flashing these updates will prevent the bug
described here:
https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t480-type-20l5-20l6/20l5/solutions/ht508988
You can download Lenovo's installers for various ThinkPad models
there, including T480s/T480s. It is these downloads that this lbmk
patch uses, to extract those files directly.

libreboot has a lot of users worldwide, some of whom live in
countries that punish being gay; if they look at libreboot or
boot it and it has the pride colours on it, it could actually
get them in trouble.
this fact occured to me, and i've decided therefore to revert
back to the boring plain logo.
though, perhaps we could actually properly design a new logo?
a new, modern logo, and a nicer website.
we'll see!

see patch for rationale. this should prevent instability caused
when the nvme randomly replugs under linux. sometimes e.g. nvme0n1
becomes nvme0n2 while the system is running.
in my case, that caused my raid1 to become unsynced every few days.
this issue was fixed on t480 by disabling pcie hotplug for its nvme
device, so the same fix has been applied for dell optiplex 3050 micro.

this was done with the following command:
./mk -u coreboot t480s_fsp_16mb t480_fsp_16mb
it was set to 256 but should be 512. the SPD is what
contains configuration data for raminit, which training
code uses so that the timings will be correct. if the SPD
size is wrong, the machine won't boot
in practise, lbmk always runs "make oldconfig" on
a coreboot config, before building it, so this was
already being corrected automatically at build time.
however, if that fact ever changes in the future, this
wrong configuration would cause the machines not to boot.
therefore, this can be considered a preventative or perhaps
pre-emptive bug fix.
this fix does not need to be applied to the 20241206 release,
because of the behaviour described above. the final ROM images
do have the spd size set correctly to 512, because of this
design feature in lbmk.

the previous commit changed an mv to a cp. what it hacked
was actually a relic of the vgarom download patch that i
did for t480, before mate got native video init working.
this patch is the better fix. i double checked to be sure,
and nothing was using the files at the copied location.
the _extracted directory under cache gets deleted later on,
so it's perfectly acceptable to keep.
the other alternative would have been to simply change
the path in the sch5545 function to appdir, instead of
the cache dir, but who really cares?
this patch removes bloat from lbmk.

I should have copied the extract directory, in cases
where it appears as filename_extracted/ under cache/,
but I was moving it instead.
Both locations (cache/file/*_extracted/
and vendorfiles/appdir/) get deleted, on every run of
the vendor script, per target, so this is OK.
The only sin is additional use of disk space, for
archives that are mostly very small and get immediately
deleted anyway.
This one lbmk bug, minor though it may be, prevented
the Libreboot 20241205 release, which (since it's now
the 6th of December) will become Libreboot 20241206
instead - and that gives me time to contemplate whether
I want to do one more change that I had planned for the 5th!

Nope! Bootflow menu is cursed on this machine.
Too many issues in U-Boot on this machine. I did however
boot a Debian installer after it booted, using bootflow.
The installed system wouldn't boot with bootflow, but I could
then boot it with "bootefi bootmgr".
I'll rig up a uart on the T480 when I get round to it and
start investigating U-Boot bugs on this board.
I don't want people flashing something that doesn't work.
GRUB and SeaBIOS work, so ship those, and don't ship U-Boot.

Otherwise, you have to press enter to boot your distro.
With this, a timeout is created. After a number of seconds,
which can be reconfigured, the first option selected will be booted,
when generating a bootflow menu.
The timeout is disabled when you navigate the menu; it only
kicks in if you don't input anything on the keyboard.
More information about how this works is in the U-Boot patches,
within this patch. I've set the timeout to 8 seconds.

On coreboot for example, as Mate has told me, if you're
making Kconfig changes and re-compiling, sometimes the
actual image that you build might still have the old one
in it, due to how coreboot's build system works.
To mitigate this, you can just always run distclean before
doing the build, but lbmk was doing just clean.
In practise, we did not find any issues, but this change should
be harmless, and might prevent such issues in the future. It's
even possible that we might have already encountered this before
and not realised, and we were just lucky that no noticeable issues
were caused.
It's *also* possible that the reverse is true: an issue that
was previously covered up, then that issue will now be exposed.
However, if that turns out to be true, then that is good because
we are exposing said bugs and then we will know to fix them!
Anyway, the variable in target.cfg is:
cleancmd="whatever_you_want"
e.g.
cleancmd="distclean"
You may also specify this in global mkhelper.cfg files, per
project; I've already done this for SeaBIOS, coreboot
and U-Boot, since all of these use Kconfig files.

Patchset 20 from:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/83274/18..20
Updated to that. A bunch of changes I made locally have been
copied here, thus removed from lbmk.
The previous setup in lbmk was to have only the DIMM slot work,
on the ThinkPad T480S, without setting up SPD for the onboard RAM>
Mate Kukri reverse engineered the scheme by which the SPDs are
chosen at boot, based on the wiring of the board. This should
just about match the way Lenovo did it in their firmware.

Libreboot's binary blob reduction policy is crystal clear:
If a blob can be avoided, it must be avoided.
The ThinkPad T480 was using Intel's VGA ROM for graphics
initialisation very briefly, before Mate fixed libgfxinit.
Since libgfxinit is fixed, the Intel VGA ROM is obsolete,
so we should not be handling this at all.
Similarly, the Nvidia ROM handling has been removed, because
Mate is hard-disabling that in the coreboot code anyway, since
the Nvidia dGPU didn't work when tested anyway.
Even if it did, Libreboot's blob policy makes it clear
that Intel graphics with native init from coreboot is to
be the preferred option.

I also enabled this on T480S, because otherwise SeaBIOS hung.
Enabling it shouldn't cause any harm on the T480, though Mate
did say that his machine seemed to work with my setup.
However, I believe that was when I gave him the ones that lbmk
built with the VGA ROM. Now it builds with libgfxinit, because
Mate was able to fix libgfxinit on this machine.

Added t480s delta to deguard, for MFS config.
Updated coreboot/next to latest t480 patch set,
which includes t480s. This porting was done by
Mate Kukri.
also includes experimental t480s support
Also added a data.vbt file (not in the gerrit patch)
for the T480s.
I had to turn on 8254 legacy timer on t480s, otherwise
SeaBIOS would hang. Same issue I saw on OptiPlex 3050 Micro.
Minor issue:
On S3 resume, nvme0n1 for example got renamed to nvme0n2.
This caused a crash if running Linux from the nvme. I confirmed
this via live USB distro. So this port will need some tweaking
before it can be considered stable.
Also uses libgfxinit, which Mate recently fixed. I'm
going to enable libgfxinit on regular T480 next.

Set default U-Boot revision to v2024.10 and rebase patches on top of
that. The video subsystem now has switched to using the 'cyclic'
mechanism, so the code around one of the video patches changed a bit.
x86 boards were already switched to v2024.10. Update U-Boot for the
remaining ARM64 boards as usual:
- Turn old configs into defconfigs (./update trees -s u-boot)
- Save the diff from old upstream defconfig (diffconfig $theirs $ours)
- Update U-Boot revision, rebase patches, and clean old trees
- Prepare new U-Boot tree (./update trees -f u-boot)
- Review the diffconfigs to see if any options were renamed upstream
- Copy over the new upstream defconfigs and apply earlier diff
- Turn new defconfigs into configs (./update trees -l u-boot)
