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.

with neutered ME, fan control fails. while there are
ways to mitigate it, many users will not, and will
likely see their system overheat, which is very
dangerous.
this bug (failed fan control on neutered ME) only
affects arrandale machines such as lenovo x201.
the newer machines are not affected by this.
other arrandale machines will probably not be added
to libreboot because of this, or they will be subject
to further testing.

This is of Broadwell platform, one generation above Haswell.
Of note: this uses HP Sure Start. Although the flash is 16MB,
our CBFS section (and IFD configuration) assumes 12MB flash,
so the final 4MB will be left unflashed on installation,
after blanking the private flash. The coreboot documents have
more information about this.
Some minor design changes in lbmk were made, to accomodate
this port:
Support for extracting refcode binaries added (pulled from
Google recovery images). The refcode file is an ELF that
initialises the MRC and the PCH. It is also responsible for
enabling or disabling the Intel GbE device, where Google
does not enable it, but lbmk modifies it per the instructions
on the coreboot documentation, so as to enable Intel GbE.
Google's recovery image stores the refcode as a stage file,
but coreboot changed the format (for CBFS files) after 4.13
so coreboot 4.13's cbfstool is used to extract refcode. This
realisation made me also change the script logic to use a
cbfstool and ifdtool version matching the coreboot tree, for
all parts of lbmk, whereas lbmk previously used only the
default tree for cbfstool/ifdtool, on insertion and deletion
of vendor files - it was 81dc20e744 that broke extraction of
refcode on google's recovery images, where google used an older
version of cbfstool to insert the files in their coreboot ROMs.
A further backported patch has been added, copying coreboot
revision f22f408956 which is a build fix from Nico Huber.
Iru Cai submitted an ACPI bugfix after the revision lbmk
currently uses, for coreboot/default, and this fix is
needed for rebooting to work on Linux 6.1 or higher. This
patch has been backported to lbmk, while it still uses the
same October 2023 revision of coreboot.
Broadwell MRC is inserted at the same offset as Haswell,
so I didn't need to tweak that.

Most notable in the above log, that are beneficial to Libreboot
users, are:
aa7c13226 which improves XFS support (large extents), which is default
now on many setups.
ed74bc376 which introduces more stable timestamp generation when using
grub-mkstandalone. this is what lbmk uses to generate grub.elf, whereas
grub previously only implemented this fix on mkimage which we don't use
f18a899ab which ensures deterministic (reproducible) tar file creation
by sorting contents (file names / directories). this is done by sorting
the entries
f5905f656 which improves grub build system reliability on netbsd and
openbsd systems - useful for us because an ambition of lbmk is to port
the build system to run on bsd systems, and we will still want grub -
several other of the changes here are beneficial for BSD aswell, all
or most of them by Vladimir Serbinenko

this is now used in grub, for the FS_PAYLOAD_MODULES
option in the make command
lbmk should generalise as much logic as possible. in
some parts of it, logic is hurrently hardcoded, specific
to a given project that lbmk uses, but lbmk is essentially
a source-based package manager, like what you might find
on a small linux distro, so we need to try to
be as generic as possible.
lbmk is the "build system of build systems", so it has to
work generically with as many of them as possible

it is no longer hardcoded just to be handled for uefiextract.
it is now defined as cmakedir in target.cfg, for a single or
multi tree project. if multi tree, it is applied to the specific
tree, and has to be defined per tree
the way it works is: as per cmakelist, a project will define
which directory is to be built, and it will then generate
a makefile in the main source tree (the build tree in cmake
language, where the main CMakeLists.txt file exists)
when the makefile has been generated, the project is then treated
like any other project. the way cmake works, if a makefile has
already been generated by it, in a given directory, running it
again will fail and not affect anything; if it fails but the
makefile doesn't exist, then something is wrong, but if the
makefile does exist, then it's all fine and nothing happens
at present, this is only used for uefiextract, which is part
of src/uefitool

at present, the bootstrap and configure script is only
directly executed for grub, because grub is the only
project that uses them in lbmk
however, when i start adding linuxboot support, i will
have to start building a lot of projects, some of which
make use autoconf and bootstrap scripts
e.g.
./bootstrap --foo
./configure --bar
the "bootstrap" script is often used on GNU programs,
because they like to over-engineer absolutely everything

arch no longer needs to be set, on multi-tree projects,
and it has been renamed to xarch
the new behaviour is: if xarch is set, treat it as a
list of crossgcc targets and go through the list. set
the first one as the target, for what lbmk builds, but
build all of the defined crossgccc targets
crossgcc_ada is now xlang, and defines which languages
to build, rather than whether to build gcc-gnat

i had to run make-oldconfig on all of them, because
of the port that riku added the other day. lbmk doesn't
use defconfigs, it uses full configs, so we have to
make sure they're kept in sync

in a fresh clone of lbmk:
./update trees -u coreboot
i should probably switch to defconfigs.

the new revision sets drive level to 12mA instead
of the default 4mA. 16-20mA is the maximum tolerated
level for data lines, on most flash ICs, so 12mA is
relatively safe.

the e6400_4mb target has libgfxinit and (if seabios) vgarom
initialisation, but has issues on the nvidia model, even when
using nomodeset. with this target, e6400nvidia_4mb, only
the vgarom initialisation is used, libgfxinit is disabled.
on nvidia models, this one should work a little bit better.
specifically: nouveau crashes on this machine, with libreboot
installed, but you can use nomodeset. however, when libgfxinit
is also enabled, nomodeset no longer works properly.
so this target disables all video initialisation in coreboot.
only seabios will initialise anything video-related, by
executing the vga option rom.

at present, lbmk can remove microcode updates on images for
a given target, if the target specifies
microcode_required="n" in target.cfg
lbmk then provides images with microcode, and images without,
in a given release. although the user can also remove them
manually, this just makes it a bit more convenient, for those
users who do wish to run without the updates. this functionality
is provided only on those platforms where no-microcode is tested.
well, this behaviour implements a compromise on libreboot policy,
which is to always include microcode updates by default. see:
Binary Blob Reduction Policy
the *canoeboot* project now exists, developed in parallel with
libreboot, and it ships without microcode updates, on the same
targets where lbmk also handled this.
running without microcode updates is foolish, and should not
be encouraged. clean up lbmk by not providing this kludge.
the libreboot documentation will be updated, telling such users
to try canoeboot instead, or to remove the update from a given
libreboot rom - this is still possible, and mitigations such as
PECI disablement on GM45 are still in place (and will be kept),
so that this continues to work well.

don't handle "romtype" at all, in board target.cfg files
add /dev/null as pike2008 rom on amd boards. this serves
the same purpose, adding them as empty vga roms, to add
an empty rom in cbfs. pike2008 cards cause seabios to hang,
when their oproms are executed, so we insert a fake rom
on i945 thinkpads, use the coreboot config option:
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK
when set, this enables the same bootblock copy, for use
with bucts. these two cases, namely pike2008 roms and
i945 bootblock copies, no longer need to be handled in code

only call crossgcc for coreboot and u-boot, but use
hostcc for everything else. simplify the checking of
which architecture to compile for. "arch" in target.cfg
files has been modified, to allow further simplification.
without this patch, the logic currently only *barely* avoids
using crossgcc on things like utils, and only works in practise
because, in practise, lbmk only works on x86_64 anyway.
the new logic, as per this patch, is simpler and more robust.

Change the component 1 density to 16 MiB so that the address space
