2024-06-12grub: only enable nvme if needed on a boardLeah Rowe
remove nvme support from the "default" grub tree now there are three trees: * default: no xhci or nvme patches * nvme: contains nvme support * xhci: contains xhci and nvme support this is in case a bug like lbmk issue #216 ever occurs again, as referenced before during lbmk audit 5 there is no indication that the nvme patch causes any issues, but after previous experience i want to be sure Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-06-06handle build.list from config/data/, not config/Leah Rowe
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>
2024-06-02make GRUB multi-tree and re-add xhci patchesLeah Rowe
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.

2024-05-29coreboot t440p/w541: enable nvme in grub_scan_diskLeah Rowe
these laptops do not officially have nvme slots on them, but there is an ngff wifi slot which is PCI-E x1, and you can use a special adapter on it to run nvme ssds. total throughput is retarded by the x1 PCI-E configuration, but it's still faster than a sata ssd (nvmes are x4 PCI-E). support it in grub_scan_disk on the off chance that some users may make use of this. it should work just fine.

2024-05-29do not allow dashes in coreboot target namesLeah Rowe
Command: ./vendor download kcma-d8-rdimm_16mb Output was: include/lib.sh: line 115: kcma-d8-rdimm=config/vendor: No such file or directory That will have to be audited later on, but the recent more stringent error checking in vendor.sh triggered this previously untriggered error message. The error was in fact already occuring before, silently. Anyway, mitigate by renaming all coreboot targets so that they do not contain hyphens in the name. This should avoid triggering errors in that eval command, on line 115 in lib.sh Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

2024-05-27GRUB: remove XHCI patches for now (will re-add)Leah Rowe
Fixes this bug: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/216 Well, fix is the wrong word. We want xHCI ideally. Mate is working on it as I write this. I've also: * Disabled CONFIG_FINALIZE_USB_ROUTE_XHCI on Haswell boards (coreboot) * Disabled the GRUB payload on HP 820 G2 for now We will need to re-add the xHCI patches once fixed. If Mate/we can't fix it, I'll contact Patrick Rudolph who originally wrote the xHCI patches. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-05-27coreboot: only run GRUB as a secondary payloadLeah Rowe
See: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/216 Almost all users will be OK running GRUB, but a minority of users have experienced a fatal error pertaining to grub_free() or grub_realloc() (as my investigation of GRUB sources reveal when grepping the error reported in the link above). We don't yet know what the bug is, only that the error occurs, leading to an effective brick if the user has GRUB as their primary payload. So far, it has only been reported on some Intel SandyBridge-based Dell Latitudes in Libreboot, but we can't be too sure. The user reported that memtest86+ passes just fine, and SeaBIOS works; BIOS GRUB also works, which means that the bug is likely only in an area of GRUB that runs specifically on the coreboot payload, so it's probably a driver in GRUB when running on the metal rather than BIOS/UEFI. The build system supports a configuration whereby SeaBIOS is the primary payload, but GRUB is available in the SeaBIOS boot select menu, and an additional configuration is available where GRUB is what SeaBIOS executes first (while still providing boot select); both of these are now the *only* configurations available, on all x86 targets except QEMU. The QEMU target is fine because if the bug occurs there, you can just close QEMU and try a different image. Even after this bug is later identified and fixed, the GRUB source code is vastly over-engineered and there are likely many more such bugs. SeaBIOS is a reliable payload; the code is small and robust. Remember always: Code equals bugs Therefore, this configuration change is likely going to be permanent. This will apply in the next release. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-05-21Fix E6400 display reference clock patchesNicholas Chin
The ones I submitted before seem to have been outdated ones that don't actually build properly. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Chin <nic.c3.14@gmail.com>
2024-05-20Fix E6400 display issue with 1440 x 900 panelNicholas Chin
The E6400 uses a 100 MHz reference clock on DPLL_REF_SSCLK, whereas libgfxinit assumed that the reference was always 96 MHz. The frequency difference caused by a 100 MHz reference with PLL config values calculated assuming a 96 MHz reference were not significant enough to cause noticable issues with the more common 1280 x 800 panels, but are enough to matter for the 1440 x 900 panels which use a higher pixel clock. This only affected the pre-OS graphics environment provided by libgfxinit, as Linux drivers would determine the reference clock frequency based on data in the VBT. Fix this by making the reference clock frequency in libgfxinit configurable for GM45 based on a new coreboot Kconfig, which is set to 100 MHz for the E6400.

2024-05-11remove haswell mrc blob (libre raminit stable now)Leah Rowe
broadwell mrc is retained, because it's needed on 820 g2 it's no longer needed on haswell, because nri is stable. nri is short for "native ram initialisation", and libreboot provides this for: thinkpad t440p, thinkpad w541, dell optiplex 9020 mt, and dell optiplex 9020 sff remove, in line with libreboot's binary blob reduction policy previous revisions, prior to the recent release, stated that it would be retained for compatibility, but it's really not right to retain it, because doing so violates libreboot's policy the recent release excluded mrc-based rom images for haswell machines, providing only those rom images that use the libre raminit, while retaining support for mrc in the build system, so that users could still run the lbmk inject script on older release roms that use mrc again: libreboot's binary blob reduction policy is very clear: https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html it is a policy that can be summarised, thus: if a blob can be avoided, it must be avoided. therefore, we will avoid the Haswell MRC raminit blob Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-05-11remove all status checks. only handle release.Leah Rowe
the release variable is all we need, turning a target on or off for a given release. the status checks were prone to bugs, and unnecessary; it also broke certain benchmark scripts. it's better to keep the lbmk logic simpler. board status will be moved to the documentation instead.

2024-05-04nb/haswell: lock policy regs when disabling IOMMULeah Rowe
Angel Pons told me I should do it. See comments here: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/81016 I see no harm in complying with the request. I'll merge this into the main patch at a later date and try to get this upstreamed. Just a reminder: on Optiplex 9020 variants, Xorg locks up under Linux when tested with a graphics card; disabling IOMMU works around the issue. Intel graphics work just fine with IOMMU turned on. Libreboot disables IOMMU by default, on the 9020, so that users can install graphics cards easily. I'm pretty sure this is the correct way to do it. The machine still seems to boot, in this configuration. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

i initially decided to say unstable, but the default configuration is reliable; the only caveat is that if you enable IOMMU, you must only be using intel graphics. this is already documented in warn.txt files, and on the website, so it's more than ok to call this stable. i use one of these myself as my daily driver and it's rock solid. i haven't had any problems with it. i also sell these to people with libreboot. no problems. mark it as stable, ready for a full release.

2024-05-03remove x220edp/x230edp (keep regular x220/x230)Leah Rowe
nitrocaster boards are hard to find nowadays and i'm not comfortable supporting the knockoff chinese gear; quality varies greatly, and i can't know how reliable they are. nitrocaster has been out of business so it's just not viable to support this mod anymore. in fact, keeping the eDP-based targets is a liability to libreboot. regular x220/x230 (non-eDP-modded) are retained. the eDP modkit from nitrocaster let you use eDP screens instead of lvds, on thinkpad x220 and x230, letting you use higher resolution screens. older lbmk revs can still be used, if you happen to come across one of these boards. i only recommend using the official nitrocaster board, if youcan find one unused. ymmv with the chinese gear. better just use an unmodded x230 or get a different machine.

2024-04-26build/roms: report status when building imagesLeah Rowe
export LBMK_VERSION_TYPE=x x can be: stable, unstable in target.cfg files, specify: status=x x can be: stable, unstable, broken, untested if unset, lbmk defaults to "unknown" if LBMK_VERSION_TYPE is set, no confirmation is asked if the given target matches what's set (but what's set in that environmental variable can only be stable or unstable) if LBMK_RELEASE="y", no confirmation is asked, unless the target is something other than stable/unstable "unstable" means it works, but has a few non-breaking bugs, e.g. broken s3 on dell e6400 whereas, if raminit regularly fails or it is so absolutely unreliable as to be unusable, then the board should be declared "broken" untested means: it has not been tested With this change, it should now be easier to track whether a given board is tested, in preparation for releases. When working on trees/boards, status can be set for targets. Also: in the board directory, you can add a "warn.txt" file which will display a message. For example, if a board has a particular quirk to watch out for, write that there. The message will be printed during the build process, to stdout. If status is anything *other* than stable, or it is unstable but LBMK_VERSION_TYPE is not set to "unstable", and not building a release, a confirmation is passed. If the board is not specified as stable or unstable, during a release build, the build is skipped and the ROM is not provided in that release; this is in *addition* to release="n" or release="y" that can be set in target.cfg, which will skip the release build for that target if "n" Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-04-26i945: switch boards to 20230625 coreboot revisionLeah Rowe
On T60 with Libreboot 20231106 and the GRUB payload, a user reported this error in GRUB when a battery was connected: "alloc magic is broken at 0x7b1aedf0: 0" This error disappears when a battery is not connected, or when using Libreboot 20230625. The issue has persisted through to LIbreboot 20240225 and after, and I believe the issue will be somewhere in coreboot, not in GRUB itself. For now, switch i945 laptops (X60, T60, Macbook2,1) back to the February 2023 coreboot revision used in Libreboot 20230625. A bisect can be done before the next Libreboot release, ETA May 2024, if time permits. Otherwise, this revert should solve the problem for now, at least so far as Libreboot is concerned. The following coreboot patches have been backported: commit 29030d0f3dad2ec6b86000dfe2c8e951ae80bf94 Author: Bill Xie <persmule@hardenedlinux.org> Date: Sat Oct 7 01:32:51 2023 +0800 drivers/pc80/rtc/option.c: Stop resetting CMOS during s3 resume Further patches from upstream: commit 432e92688eca0e85cbaebca3232f65936b305a98 Author: Bill Xie <persmule@hardenedlinux.org> Date: Fri Nov 3 12:34:01 2023 +0800 drivers/pc80/rtc/option.c: Reset only CMOS range covered by checksum These patches fixed S3 on GM45 machines, though it will be useful on the i945 machines aswell. The reason I'm doing it this way it is because I don't have a battery for my X60 or T60, and my T60 isn't in a very good state either, so I can't reproduce the error myself yet.

2024-04-25hp820g2: allow building, but don't do release ROMsLeah Rowe
at present, the inject scripts compress refcode in a way that is not reproducible, so there's no way to verify that the firmware is correct, via checksum verification, when injecting vendor code on release images the lack of reproducibility in recompression will have to be addressed, but the issue is that lbmk does not provide its own sources for compression utilities, instead opting to use the system's own compression utility so the solution might be for lbmk not to use the host's utility, and compile its own, or insert the refcode uncompressed. for now, simply disable the hp 820 g2 target in libreboot releases this uses the same logic recently implemented for excluding mrc-based haswell images in libreboot releases Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
