2024-06-27trees: avoid kconfig make commands genericallyLeah Rowe
don't hardcode the check based on whether the current project is grub. instead, define "btype" in target.cfg if unset, we assume kconfig and permit kconfig commands e.g. make menuconfig, make silentoldconfig, etc this is to avoid the deadliest of sins: project-specific hacks Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-06-19roms: don't insert timeout.cfgLeah Rowe
this is bloat, because it's something the user can already do at runtime configuration anyway. set it to a reasonable default of 8 seconds instead of 5, and don't honour the timeout variable in target.cfg. this will be documented in the next release. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-06-15grub: insert background in memdisk insteadLeah Rowe
the background is only a few kb. the whole rationale before was to limit the space used in memdisk, but this decision was made when the background was much bigger; it has since been optimised greatly, and the grub modules were heavily reduce, so it should be safe. grub's memdisk breaks when you add too much data to it. as part of simplifying the rest of lbmk, this change removes some more bloat from the rest of lbmk. handling this in the memdisk is much simpler than handling it with cbfstool.

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.
