in the next revision, i will add ESP paths

this is a relic from the old days when we didn't
automated the grub.cfg logic as much. these days,
the grub.cfg logic is able to boot almost all distros
without any manual intervention or override.
removing these entries will speed up the boot in general

the path "/boot/EFI" is unnecessary because the ESP
is always a FAT32 partition, so we don't need to
scan it as a subdirectory within a subdirectory.
the ESP is always mounted as its own partition,
FAT32, and EFI/ is always at the root of it

the esp is always a fat32 partition so this makes no sensgrub.cfg: don't scan EFI on btrfs subvols
the esp is always a fat32 partition so this makes no sense

replace variables ahcidev/atadev/nvmedev with a single
one named bootdev
the for loop goes through grub_scan_disk, so now it is
effectively a bootorder configuration

it has always been gpl 3 or later, but it helps to have
the license declaration within the file
there's a copying file anyway. put spdx in the config

Previously, grub_scan_disk could set ata, ahci or "both",
which would make both be tried (ahci first). This worked
when we only dealt with ata and ahci devices, but now we
support nvme devices so the logic is inherently flawed.
Instead, use grub_scan_disk to store the boot order, e.g.:
grub_scan_disk="ahci nvme ata"
grub_scan_disk="nvme ata"
In the first example, it would make GRUB scan ahci first,
then nvme and then ata.
In the secontd example, it would make GRUB scan nvme first,
and then ata.
If "both" is set, or anything other than ahci/ata/nvme,
grub_scan_disk is now changed to "nvme ahci ata".
Actual grub_scan_disk entries in target.cfg files will now
be modified, to match each machine.

There is no need to add multiple keymap files, because
GRUB can load keymaps from CBFS. The current build logic
is designed to avoid building multiple GRUB binaries,
which are expensive computationally because each one
would then have to be compressed for each board.
This patch provides the best of both worlds: less space
used in flash like in the old lbmk design (1 keymap per
board), but retaining the current build speeds and therefore
not re-introducing the slowness of lbmk's previous GRUB
build logic.
The grub.cfg file has been modified, accordingly. It now
only loads a keymap.gkb file from CBFS, by default. It does
this, only if that file exists; if not, GRUB already defaults
to US Qwerty layout anyway.
ALSO: compress all keymap gkb files with xz -6
GRUB automatically decompresses files when accessed.
This results in about 2KB of flash space saved in CBFS.
Here is real-world data, showing the increased flash space:
< fallback/payload 0x3eb80 simple elf 548821 none
< keymap.cfg 0xc4bc0 raw 16 none
< (empty) 0xc4c00 null 11633316 none
---
> fallback/payload 0x3eb80 simple elf 546787 none
> keymap.gkb 0xc43c0 raw 344 none
> (empty) 0xc4540 null 11635044 none
This was taken by diffing the cbfstool "print" output,
both before and after. The *after* result is with this change.
11633316. In this example, 1728 bytes have been saved. Therefore,
with compression taken into account, this patch saves about 1.7KB
of space in CBFS.
This change means that lbmk can now scale to support hundreds
of keymaps, without increasing the amount of flash space used,
in each given image. Since the keymap files are compressed in
lbmk.git, in advance, we spend no additional time on compression
at build time. The resulting change in build speed in negligible.
Adding your own keymap.gkb file was already possible, for changing
the keymap in libreboot images, if you didn't want to change the
memdisk (and thus re-compile grub.elf). Now, this is the default
behaviour, and the only way to do it. It's much more efficient.
The original keymap files can be restored, by running unxz.

there are special menuentries just for loading
configs, without handling luks, lvm and whatnot.
it's intended for users of cd/dvd drives. well,
now we support both extlinux and grub, with this patch.

many modern distros use grub in their installer images,
so scan for grub.cfg first.

isolinux/syslinux/extlinux config files should all work,
using the syslinux parser function in grub
the current behaviour is to only search for grub.cfg,
so extlinux users can't use the default libreboot setup.
with this change, their systems should hopefully work.

the so-called EFI System Partition (ESP) is used
on many UEFI-based setups. some users may be
migrating to libreboot, so let's support it.
on BIOS setups, it would be e.g.
/boot/syslinux/syslinux.conf
on UEFI setups, it would be e.g.
/boot/EFI/syslinux/syslinux.conf
additionally, support scanning for extlinux.conf

lvm/* is slow to resolve in grub, on some machines,
because grub enumeration is very slow in general.
however, many people will install distros with any
number of lvm configurations, so we should try to
support them.

This reverts commit 20389655e42e62ebf6d96dd106c91fbe74282557.
If the user actually has encryption, but has /boot unencrypted,
this will considerably slow down the boot, so the patch has
been reverted.
The patch was originally meant to favour encrypted /boot
setups, but the old behaviour also still works there.
|
|
when the user sets up an encrypted machine, grub.cfg
defaults to non-encrypted setups if found, first
this patch reverses the order, deferring to
non-encrypted installations only when encrypted ones
are unavailable

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.

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

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
