2024-05-11remove haswell mrc blob (libre raminit stable now)Leah Rowe
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 Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-05-11remove all status checks. only handle release.Leah Rowe
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.

2024-05-04nb/haswell: lock policy regs when disabling IOMMULeah Rowe
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. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

2024-05-04mark 9020 sff/mt stable for releaseLeah Rowe
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.

2024-05-03remove x220edp/x230edp (keep regular x220/x230)Leah Rowe
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.

2024-04-26build/roms: report status when building imagesLeah Rowe
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" Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-04-26i945: switch boards to 20230625 coreboot revisionLeah Rowe
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.

2024-04-26GRUB: bump to today's latest revisionLeah Rowe
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.

2024-04-25hp820g2: allow building, but don't do release ROMsLeah Rowe
at present, the inject scripts compress refcode in a way that is not reproducible, so there's no way to verify that the firmware is correct, via checksum verification, when injecting vendor code on release images the lack of reproducibility in recompression will have to be addressed, but the issue is that lbmk does not provide its own sources for compression utilities, instead opting to use the system's own compression utility so the solution might be for lbmk not to use the host's utility, and compile its own, or insert the refcode uncompressed. for now, simply disable the hp 820 g2 target in libreboot releases this uses the same logic recently implemented for excluding mrc-based haswell images in libreboot releases Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-04-24haswell: only provide NRI-based ROMs in releasesLeah Rowe
release="n" is set in target.cfg on haswell build targets that use mrc.bin script/update/release exports LBMK_RELEASE="y" script/build/roms skips building a given target if release="n" in target.cfg *and* LBMK_RELEASE="y" you could also do the export yourself before running ./build roms, for example: export LBMK_RELEASE="y" ./build roms all This would skip these ROM images. The native haswell raminit is now stable enough in my testing, that I wish to delete the MRC-based targets. This is in line with Libreboot's Binary Blob Reduction Policy, which states: if a blob can be avoided, it should be avoided. The problem is that users often run the inject script in *lbmk* from Git, instead of from the src release archive. I forsee some users running this on modern lbmk with older release images. If the mrc-based target isn't there, the user may use an NRI-based target name, and think it works; they will insert without MRC. I foresaw this ages ago, which is why Caleb and I ensured that the script checks hashes, and hashes are included in releases. Therefore: for the time being, keep the MRC-based configs in lbmk but do not include images for them in releases. This can be done indefinitely, but I'll probably remove those configs entirely at some point. On the following boards, Libreboot now will *only* provide NRI-based ROM images for the following machines: * Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF * Dell OptiPlex 9020 MT * Lenovo ThinkPad T440p * Lenovo ThinkPad W541/W540 I now recommend exclusive use of NRI-based images, on Haswell hardware. It's stable enough in my testing, and now supports S3. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2024-04-219020 sff/mt: fix bad gpio read on hwm patchLeah Rowe
