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.

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!
This reverts commit 401efb24b2213454732e769531f660605771e538.

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.

Same concept as SeaGRUB, but for U-Boot. SeaBIOS starts, but
has a bootorder file loading U-Boot first, from flash.
You can interrupt it with the ESC menu, to boot something else
in SeaBIOS, including GRUB.
With this, we can effectively provide extremely user-friendly
UEFI-first setups in Libreboot.
Take that, edk2!

Currently seems to stall when booted from the GRUB
payload, but works when booted from the SeaBIOS menu.
I also tested it as a standalone payload and it seems
to boot. Will test on hardware next, and start adding
it to more mainboards.

NOTE: Support added for xarch target x86_64-elf,
but U-Boot failed to build with this error:
OBJCOPY lib/efi_loader/helloworld.efi
x86_64-elf-objcopy: lib/efi_loader/helloworld_efi.so: invalid bfd target
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.lib:476: lib/efi_loader/helloworld.efi] Error 1
Since I'm building U-Boot for x86_64 *on* an x86-64
host, and since that is currently the recommended type
of machine to use for lbmk development, and since the
other x86 payloads currently don't cross compile anyway,
this is an acceptable compromise for now. This is because
at present, I'm not making U-Boot the primary payload on x86,
instead preferring to chain it from GRUB and SeaBIOS.
The target.cfg file for x86 u-boot shows xarch/xtree commented.
Uncomment these to compile on crossgcc instead of hostcc.
I mention 64-bit because I initially did this first, but decided
to do 32-bit first. I'll work on the 64-bit one next (SPL).
It's only enabled in QEMU for now.

I also added a "cleanargs" argument, similar to the makeargs
argument, to work around a build error.
This builds the PCSX-Redux PS1 BIOS. They reverse engineered
the Sony PS1 BIOS and wrote a free one under MIT license.
Run this:
./mk -b pcsx-redux
The file will appear: bin/playstation/openbios.bin

Copy the downloaded deguard source code into appdir,
and patch it to run as part of lbmk, instead of
standalone. The archived one in src/ is not directly
used; instead, the hotpatched version is used.
This is because the standalone version already has
download logic for the .zip file, but we already
cache that file in cache/ and use that.

this time, only handle multiple keymaps on seagrub
images. for images where seabios is first but does
not immediately load grub, whether grub is still
available in flash, just do one image (US Qwerty)
this still results in fewer images per target than
Libreboot 20240612, but should prevent most users
from being annoyed. i got a few people asking
repeatedly, and i hadn't documented yet how to add
keymap.gkb or how to remove bootorder, to get a
different keymap or disable seagrub respectively.
i anticipate that i'll get such questions a lot, even
if i do document it, so i'm reversing that decision.
it doesn't result in much extra code. the new design
in lbmk makes this sort of thing much simpler.

move the coreboot-specific includes into mkhelper.cfg
for that project.
on some projects, we need variables from mkhelper.cfg
to be global, so I was including serprog and coreboot
mkhelper.cfg files in this script.
instead, set a new variable "mkhelpercfg" pointing to
the config file. if it doesn't exist, create and then
point to a temporary (empty) mkhelper.cfg file.
the rom.sh include has been moved to coreboot mkhelper.cfg
The only remaining project-specific logic, in this trees
script, is now the coreboot crossgcc handling, but this
needs to be there as it's also used to build U-Boot.
The way this now works, certain includes are done twice.
For example, include/rom.sh will be included once globally,
outside of main(), and then again in configure_project().
This means that certain functions will be defined twice.
I'm uncertain if shell has anything equivalent to an ifdef
guard as in C, but we actually want this here anyway, and
it shouldn't cause any problems. It's a bit of a hack, but
otherwise results in much cleaner code.

-d does the same as -b, except for actually building
anything! in effect, it does the same as -f (fetch)
except that the resulting variable assignments will
not be recursive (as with -f).
if -d is passed, configuration is still loaded, defconfig
files are still cycled through, and more importantly:
helper functions are still processed.
the grub, serprog and coreboot helper functions have
been modified to return early (zero status) if -d is
passed.
this behaviour will be used to integrate vendor.sh
logic in with the trees script, for cases where the
user wants to only handle vendor files. e.g.:
./update trees -b coreboot x230_12mb
this would download the files as usual, build coreboot,
with those files, and then build the payloads. but:
./update trees -d coreboot x230_12mb
this would download the files, NOT build coreboot, and
NOT build the payloads.
this change increases the sloccount a bit, but i'm relying
on the fact that the vendor.sh script already re-implements
config handling wastefully; the plan is to only use trees.
for now, simply stub the same ./vendor download command.
there is one additional benefit to doing it this way:
this method is *per-kconfig* rather than per-target.
this way, one kconfig might specify a given vendor file
that is not specified in the other. although the stub
still simply handles this per target, it's done in premake,
which means that the given .config file has been copied.
this means that when i properly re-integrate the logic
into script/trees, i'll be able to go for it per-kconfig.
the utils command has been removed, e.g.
./update trees -b coreboot utils default
the equivalent is now:
./update trees -d coreboot default
this would technically download vendor files, but here
we are specifying a target for which no kconfigs exist;
a check is also in place, to avoid running the vendor file
download logic if tree==target
the overall effect of this change is that the trees script
no longer contains any project-specific logic, except for
the crossgcc build logic.
it does include some config/data mkhelper files at the top,
for serprog and coreboot, so that those variables defined in
those files can be global, but another solution to mitigate
that will also be implemented in a future commit.
the purpose of this and other revisions (in the final push
to complete lbmk audit 6 / cbmk audit 2) is to generalise as
much logic as possible, removing various ugly hacks.

stub it from the trees script. the way it works now,
there is less code in the build system.
./build roms
this is no longer a thing
./build roms serprog
this is also no longer a thing. instead, do:
./update trees -b coreboot targetnamehere
./update trees -b pico-serprog
./update trees -b stm32-vserprog
the old commands still works, which causes the new
commands to run
coreboot roms now appear in elf/, not bin/, as before,
but those images now contain payloads.
NOTE: to contradict the above: ./build roms is no
longer a thing, in that it's now deprecated, but
backward compatibility is present for now. it will
be removed in a future release.
./build roms list also still works! it will do:
./update trees -b coreboot list
also:
./update trees -b grub list
this is now possible too
if a target "list" is provided, for multi-tree sources,
the targets are shown.
there is another difference: seagrub roms are now seagrub_,
instead of seabios_withgrub.
seabios-only roms are no longer provided, where grub is also
enabled; only seagrub is used. the user can easily remove
the bootorder file, if they want seabios to not try grub first.

don't put it in the install modules.
this works around a hanging issue on haswell thinkpads.
when any usb device is inserted, GRUB will sometimes
hang if started from the SeaBIOS payload, *while* the
USB device is plugged in.
plugging in the USB device after GRUB starts worked.
it will have to be investigated more at a later date,
but this simply configuration change works.
the xhci module is already loaded explicitly, in grub.cfg

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

i removed this before, when making grub multi-tree,
because the design i used in an earlier version of
the patch actually added the grub.elf generation
to grub source itself, but then i decided to hack
around the grub build system from lbmk/cbmk instead
re-add this functionality, so that users can easily
insert their own custom grub.cfg into cbfs without
needing to re-build their image.

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

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.
