Tested on OptiPlex 3050 (via injecting grub2.elf into WIP coreboot
port).
|
|
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.

for single-tree project (e.g. flashprog):
config/submodule/PROJECT/MODNAME/patches
for multi-tree project (e.g. coreboot):
config/submodule/PROJECT/TREE/MODNAME/patches
MODNAME is e.g.:
3rdparty/vboot directory in coreboot: would become vboot
(the submodule codepath is filtered to up to the final slash)
another example:
submodire src dir 3rdparty/foo/bar
MODNAME would be "bar"
Add whatever patches you like to a given submodule.
An example patch is included in this commit.

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

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.

I'm on a schedule here and don't have time to do the
release changelog before actually compiling the release.
I'm pushing the release changelog / news announcement
*while the release is building*. Therefore, the actual
release archive will contain Libreboot documentation, but
from the lbwww revision just before the release announcement.
(a changelog file is still generated from Git, and included
in releases)

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.

NRI is libre raminit
MRC is binary blob raminit
the libre raminit is stable enough now that it's default
the MRC-based targets will be removed in a future release
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.

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.

angel pons said how to fix it. more info in the patch.
works perfectly. i still see that scancode in dmesg and i guess
i have to assign it to some function that sets software rfkill
hw rfkill is no longer set. it's unblocked, and i can use wifi.
just in time for the libreboot release.

some latitudes still used the old style for variables
in target.cfg, specifically arch="x86_64" - lbmk used to
then check that on a big if/else and translate it to the
correct target name for crossgcc, e.g. i386-elf, arm-eabi
now it just puts the arch directly, in a new variable:
xarch
change arch="x86_64" to xarch="i386-elf" in these files.
also remove a few obsolete variables. should build now.

github is unreliable. i host these files myself.
coreboot uses intel.com again now in the latest revisions, and
intel broke it before. i'm going to start backing up the acpica
releases onto my rsync server from now on, and keep patching

raminit has never been fully reliable on this board, and so
this board has never been stable. so, now that lbmk specifies
such status per board, mark these boards as such.

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"

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.

GRUB has not pushed many patches to master since the recent 2.12
release, but there are a number of interesting fixes.
libreboot is doing a release soon. bump to latest grub revision.
Some of the new patches in GRUB are interesting:
XFS fixes:
"fs/xfs: Handle non-continuous data blocks in directory extents"
68dd65cfdaad08b1f8ec01b84949b0bf88bc0d8c
Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2254370
Apparently, XFS could not boot in some reports, though this was
likely with BIOS or UEFI GRUB; no such reports were made to libreboot
"gfxmenu/view: Resolve false grub_errno disrupting boot process"
39c927df66c7ca62d97905d1385054ac9ce67209
"util/grub-fstest: Add a new command zfs-bootfs"
28c4405208cfb6e2cea737f6cbaf17e631bac6cd
The gnulib revision does not need to be updated at this time.
