Don't extract to bin/release/
Modify the tarball instead. Previously, the tarball would
not be modified, but a lot of users thought the tarball was
being modified and ignored bin/release/, where the injected
images were actually being saved to.
Don't copy the tarball either. Just modify it in-place.
Don't allow single-rom injection either; only allow the
tarball-based method.
The command syntax has changed, but:
./mk inject tarball.tar.xz
This is the same. What has changed is nuke, and MAC address
modification. Observe:
./mk inject tarball.tar.xz nuke
./mk inject tarball.tar.xz setmac
./mk inject tarball.tar.xz setmac ??:??:??:??:??:??
./mk inject tarball.tar.xz setmac 00:1f:16:??:22:aa
These are just a few examples. The MAC address syntax is
the same as used for nvmutil, which means you can set it
randomly. Also:
./mk inject tarball.tar.xz setmac
You can use the *setmac* command *repeatedly*, even if
you've already injected a given archive. It'll just
update the archive, but skip injecting other files
that were already injected.
If you use setmac without a MAC address, it will randomise
the MAC address. This is therefore very similar to the
command structure used in nvmutil.
The code for injection is generally more robust, with
stronger error checks. This design change was done, so
that the user doesn't accidentally brick their machine.
The non-injected images have a prefix in the file name
saying "DO_NOT_FLASH", and those non-injected images are
padded by 1 byte. That way, the user knows not to flash it
and if they try, flashprog will throw an error.
The prefix and padding is removed on injection. Old images
without the padding/prefix can still be injected, via
tarballs; this new code is backwards-compatible with tarballs
from older Libreboot releases.
A common thing I see sometimes is a user will say they have
a black screen or something, and I say: did you insert vendor
files? And they say yes. And they did. But they extracted and
flashed from the tarball, which wasn't injected, because
they didn't release about bin/release/
No amount of RTFM is justified. The previous design flaw
is a bug. We must always observe user safety first, no matter
what, so that has now been done.

I believed that the compressed nature of refcode was the only
non-reproducible thing, but turns out you also need to run
rmodtool on the refcode to make the binary relocatable in
cbfs. This is based on my reading of the coreboot Makefile.
With this change, I can now provide release binaries for
the HP EliteBook 820 G2.

./mk dependencies debian --reinstall
Add --reinstall and it'll do:
apt-get install --reinstall
This can be useful when updating from a stable release
to a testing release. The variable, "reinstall" can be
configured for other distros, but it's currently only
configured for Debian-based distros.
Also, it can be anything. For example, you could add -y;
however, a 4th argument will not be accepted. For example,
you cannot do:
./mk dependencies debian --reinstall -y
If you do this, it'll only see --reinstall; similarly, if
you did this command:
./mk dependencies debian -y --reinstall
then -y would be passed, but not --reinstall. This is an
intentional design decision, in case you accidentally pasted
or subshelled something that outputted something undesirable,
to prevent possible abuse.

When doing ./mk release, the build system would create
symlinks inside xbmkpath/ relative to the current work tree,
which will differ from what's in PATH.
Since XBMK_CACHE is already set globally, from the main work
tree and the release-build work tree, that means we can know
reliably that PATH is always correct if we put xbmkpath/
inside XBMK_CACHE.

When I tested Debian Trixie, and Debian Sid, I saw that
GCC in PATH pointed to gcc-14, but gnat in path pointed
to GNAT-13, even if you manually install gnat-14.
GNAT 14 was marked experimental, but GCC 14 was marked
for use, in the apt repositories.
So this patch doesn't address the mismatch when doing e.g.
apt-get install gcc gnat
I will address the actual package dependency in a follow-up
patch, on the Debian dependencies config.

Previously serprog_rp2040, but we now also support

Therefore, serprog_pico is a nice generic name. The

rp2040 and rp2530 platforms can't share a cmake build directory. we
could just delete the build directory after every compilation, but that
would be really wasteful (every tool would need to be recomiled every
time. instead create new build directories as new plaforms are found
and symlink them to the point where the build directory used to be.
to find out which platform we're compiling for, we crudely parse the
board headers file.
there surely would be better ways to do this, but this hack works
with all the boards in pico-sdk 2.1.0.

The Libreboot 20241206 release provided FSP pre-assembled
and inserted into the ROM images; the only file inserted
by vendor.sh was the Intel ME.
Direct distribution of an unmodified FSP image is permitted
by Intel, provided that the license notice is given among
other requirements. Due to how coreboot works, it must split
up the FSP into subcomponents, and adjust certain pointers
within the -M component (for raminit).
Such build-time modifications are perfectly fine in a coreboot
context, where it is expected that you are building from source.
The end result is simply what you use.
In a distribution such as Libreboot, where we provide pre-built
images, this becomes problematic. It's a technicality of the
license, and it seems that Intel themselves probably intended
for Libreboot to use the FSP this way anyway, since it is they
who seem to be the author of SplitFspBin.py, which is the
utility that coreboot uses for splitting up the FSP image.
Due to the technicality of the licensing, the FSP shall now
be scrubbed from releases, and re-inserted.
Coreboot was inserting the -S component with LZ4 compression,
which is bad news for ./mk inject beacuse the act of compression
is currently not reproducible. Therefore, coreboot has been
modified not to compress this section, and the inject command
doesn't compress it either. This means that the S file is using
about 180KB in flash, instead of about 140KB. This is totally OK.
The _fsp targets are retained, but set to release=n, because these
targets *still* don't scrub fsp.bin; if released, they would
include fsp files, so they've been set to release=n. These can
be used on older Libreboot release archives, for compatibility.
The new ROM images released for the affected machines are:
t480_vfsp_16mb
t480s_vfsp_16mb
dell3050micro_vfsp_16mb
Note the use of _vfsp instead of _fsp. These images are released,
unlike _fsp, and they lack fspm/fsps in the image. FSP S/M must
be inserted using ./mk inject.
This has been tested and confirmed to boot just fine.
The 20241206 images will be re-compiled and re-uploaded with this
and other recent changes, to make Libreboot 20241206 rev8.

use ./mk instead, because in a future change to lbmk,
only ./mk will be used and the other commands will
be removed.

When vendor files were not needed on a given board,
the script would directly exit. This is bad, because
the inject functions are called directly from the main
script, which means the parent instance of lbmk.
This means that the lock file and temporary files were
not being removed on exit. On a subsequent run, this
would cause the error stating that a lock file is present,
which would cause further error, making the user believe
something is broken in lbmk.
Modify the behaviour accordingly; exits are now returns,
and these are handled in the calling functions, in such
a way that a proper exit occurs, whereby temporary files
and the lock file are deleted.
For context, please read the main "build" script where
it calls vendor_inject and vendor_download. At the end
of that script, it calls tmp_cleanup, which removes the
TMPDIR that was created, and the lock file. In lbmk,
the TMPDIR is not /tmp, but rather a subdirectory
under /tmp, so that further calls to mktemp create
everything under one single temporary directory, which
lbmk automatically removes on exit.
Therefore, this patch also avoids leaving temporary files
laying around on the disk.

The exit was dependent upon install_packages returning
zero status, which it always would in practise, due to
its design, but this exit must always be observed, so
the code has been modified to honour this design.
A direct exit violates lbmk's design in most instances,
where a temporary directory and lock file has already
been created; at this stage, no such act was performed,
so a direct exit is perfectly acceptable.

we needed these for extracting intel vga roms from
lenovoo updates, for t480, very briefly. about an hour
after i pushed that patch, mate kukri fixed libgfxinit
and then i removed the vgarom integration because it
wasn't needed anymore.
however, i forgot to remove geteltorito/mtools from
dependencies. some distros like fedora were problematic
about it.

in this setup, seabios is never the default payload, grub is,
but only if grub is enabled.
set this in target.cfg:
payload_grubsea="y"
if payload_grub isn't enabled, this is auto-set to n
ditto if initmode=normal
NOTE: if flashing libgfx setups, you should make sure
that you're not booting with a graphics card, only intel
graphics. this setting will intentionally not be documented,
because it's not recommended, but is being implemented for
testing purposes (and i implemented it for some guy who i
think is cool). i'll probably also use this myself, since
i already do grub-only setups on all my own machines.
seagrub is the default on x86 because of past instabilities
with grub. to mitigate in case of future issues, since seabios
is always stable, we reduce the chance of bricks.

Though not used in coreboot builds, and not injected into the
builds in any way, these files are now created seperately when
handling T480/T480s vendor files:
vendorfiles/t480/tb.bin
vendorfiles/t480s/tb.bin
These are created by extracting Lenovo's ThunderBolt firmware
from update files. The updated firmware fixes a bug; older firmware
enabled debug commands that wrote logs to the TB controller's
own flash IC, and it'd get full up with logs, bricking the controller.
If you've already been screwed by this, you must flash externally,
using a padded firmware from Lenovo's updates.
Lenovo's own updater requires creating a boot CD or booting
Windows. This patch in lbmk auto-downloads just the firmware,
and you can flash it externally.
You could simply do this as a matter of course, when installing
Libreboot. You are recommended to update the Lenovo UEFI/EC firmwares
first, before installing Libreboot; please look at the Libreboot
documentation to know exactly which versions.
Then dump the ThunderBolt firmware first, to be sure, and then you
can flash these files. Flashing these updates will prevent the bug
described here:
https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t480-type-20l5-20l6/20l5/solutions/ht508988
You can download Lenovo's installers for various ThinkPad models
there, including T480s/T480s. It is these downloads that this lbmk
patch uses, to extract those files directly.

the previous commit changed an mv to a cp. what it hacked
was actually a relic of the vgarom download patch that i
did for t480, before mate got native video init working.
this patch is the better fix. i double checked to be sure,
and nothing was using the files at the copied location.
the _extracted directory under cache gets deleted later on,
so it's perfectly acceptable to keep.
the other alternative would have been to simply change
the path in the sch5545 function to appdir, instead of
the cache dir, but who really cares?
this patch removes bloat from lbmk.

I should have copied the extract directory, in cases
where it appears as filename_extracted/ under cache/,
but I was moving it instead.
Both locations (cache/file/*_extracted/
and vendorfiles/appdir/) get deleted, on every run of
the vendor script, per target, so this is OK.
The only sin is additional use of disk space, for
archives that are mostly very small and get immediately
deleted anyway.
This one lbmk bug, minor though it may be, prevented
the Libreboot 20241205 release, which (since it's now
the 6th of December) will become Libreboot 20241206
instead - and that gives me time to contemplate whether
I want to do one more change that I had planned for the 5th!

Libreboot's binary blob reduction policy is crystal clear:
If a blob can be avoided, it must be avoided.
The ThinkPad T480 was using Intel's VGA ROM for graphics
initialisation very briefly, before Mate fixed libgfxinit.
Since libgfxinit is fixed, the Intel VGA ROM is obsolete,
so we should not be handling this at all.
Similarly, the Nvidia ROM handling has been removed, because
Mate is hard-disabling that in the coreboot code anyway, since
the Nvidia dGPU didn't work when tested anyway.
Even if it did, Libreboot's blob policy makes it clear
that Intel graphics with native init from coreboot is to
be the preferred option.

Since U-Boot must be inserted at a specific offset, it's
theoretically possible that other files might overlap, but
cbfstool will work around wherever U-Boot was inserted if
it was inserted first; we don't use specific offsets for
the other files.
This is technically a preventative bug fix, but it fixes
a bug that would probably never occur in practise.

Same concept as SeaGRUB, but for U-Boot. SeaBIOS starts, but
has a bootorder file loading U-Boot first, from flash.
You can interrupt it with the ESC menu, to boot something else

NOTE: Support added for xarch target x86_64-elf,

Since I'm building U-Boot for x86_64 *on* an x86-64
host, and since that is currently the recommended type
of machine to use for lbmk development, and since the
other x86 payloads currently don't cross compile anyway,
this is an acceptable compromise for now. This is because
at present, I'm not making U-Boot the primary payload on x86,
instead preferring to chain it from GRUB and SeaBIOS.
The target.cfg file for x86 u-boot shows xarch/xtree commented.
Uncomment these to compile on crossgcc instead of hostcc.
I mention 64-bit because I initially did this first, but decided

the .git directory never exists anyway, when doing a release,

individual headers say "pcsx-redux team" as copyright anyway,
and the code for generating that COPYING file, with MIT license
