cbmk revision:
cdce8ba70b863ea3fe0ad7a4d7b27d0c5ca30421
as of date 30 May 2024
Canoeboot provides deblobbing, fully, on all sources, so
as to provide a GNU FSDG compliant coreboot distro.
Libreboot used to do this but now uses a more pragmatic
Binary Blob Reduction Policy, allowing better hardware
support in general. See:
https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html
Well! We sometimes still need to delete files in Libreboot,
but for other reasons. For example, the poorly licensed
strlcat.c file that we delete from U-Boot, in both projects.
I currently hardcode such deletions in lbmk. After this
revision, I will start using "nuke.list" files as in cbmk.
Simply patching the sources to exclude such files, in this
context, is not OK because then we are still including them
but as diffs. This is why the nuke() function exists.
Import Canoeboot's nuke technology.

We use a path of /dev/null pointing to a ROM for
Fam15h AMD boards, to add fake PIKE2008 images.
This is to mitigate a hang in SeaBIOS, but now with
recent changes, this causes the command below to
download coreboot, when it should just exit saying
no vendor files needed. Prevent accidentally wasted
bandwidth. The command was:
./vendor download kcma_d8_rdimm_16mb
This now correctly does the following:
$ ./vendor download kcma_d8_rdimm_16mb
Vendor files not needed for: kcma_d8_rdimm_16mb
The joys of programming a build system in sh!

By default, the build system does set -u -e
Some errors are unavoidable and have to be handled, so
we have to set +u +e (turn off error handling in sh),
when downloading vendor files, but only certain parts of
vendor.sh trigger errors (which cause an exit).
Replace the current bazooka approach with a more fine
grained approach, turning error handling back on again
when it is safe to do so.
In the parts of the code where it is disabled, the code
is written very, very carefully, with errors still handled
manually, but more careful auditing is required.
This change has been tested and makes the command much
safer to run. In security (or any bug auditing), it is
the principle of least privilege that holds true.

e.g. coreboot/default contains no config directory, so
the old logic would be trying to do:
.
which is obviously invalid
now for example:
$ ./vendor download default
Vendor files not needed for: default
and it will exit with zero status
the only thing that should ever return non-zero status
is when you define a target that does not exist, config
or no.

i was checking whether it's a directory, whereas i should
have been checking whether it's a file. this is a workaround
put in place in case someone downloaded a tarball from codeberg
which is pre-generated per commit. in this situation, the
version and versiondate files do not exist, but the design
of the build system requires that they do exist.
the existing check is correct except for this bug, so fix
the bug. check that they are files, not directories

in each submodule configuration directory, a module.cfg
file can now be provided. in it, the user can specify
two repository links (main and backup) and a revision, like
so:
subrepo="repo link goes here"
subrepo_bkup="backup repo link goes here"
subrev="git revision id goes here"
additionally:
in the *main* project directory for the submodules,
a module.list file can be provided. example entries:
3rdparty/vboot
3rdparty/libgfxinit
if the module.list file is provided, only those submodules
will be downloaded. this can be combined with the module.cfg
files, if you wish, but it's optional. you can mix and match.
example locations:
multi-tree project:
config/submodule/coreboot/default/module.list
config/submodule/coreboot/default/vboot/module.cfg
single-tree project:
config/submodule/flashprog/module.list
config/submodule/flashprog/foo/module.cfg
*no* configuration files have been provided, in this commit,
which means that the current behaviour is maintained.
follow-up commits will absolutely configure the submodules.
this is being done to reduce the number of modules downloaded,
because we don't use most of the coreboot submodules that are
downloaded, thus wasting bandwidth and the releases are also
much bigger than necessary.

a user was getting error "version unset" when using the
tarball generated from codeberg. it's recommended to use
the git repository properly, or a release archive.
mitigate this so that the build succeeds anyway.

in the function that immediately follows, it
starts two for loops that check every item in
that directory, using the asterisk wildcard.
if the directory does not exist, then the for
loop will simply break on first pass.

"./update project trees" is a leftover from the
old build system design, prior to audits.
this particular call is for when xtree is defined,
which means that a given tree must rely on the given
coreboot tree defined by xtree. the "xtree" tree is
downloaded, so that its crossgcc builds can be re-used
to save time when building targets across many trees.
this is because trees often use identical crossgcc builds.

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.

one of the calling functions relies on the return value
to be always 0, so these error conditions in mkrom_tarball
have been altered to cause an *exit* (non-zero) instead.
in practise, the commands in question were printf commands
run after tho directory they output to had been created,
so write access would probably not be an issue.
nonetheless, technically correct is the best kind of correct.

The build system already deletes .git in all source
directories for each given release, but does so at
the very end; it still does, but now it is deleted
one by one per project, to save space during very
large builds (release sizes vary wildly, depending
on how many trees exist for coreboot basically).
If you're building entirely in tmpfs (as I do), this
could be a problem if you have lots of .git/ directories.
This change reduces disk usage, or in the above example,
memory usage when running the build system from tmpfs.
This complements another recent change, where ROM images
are compressed per target during release builds, rather
than all at the very end of the process. It is part of a
series of optimisations, to reduce the memory and disk
usage of the build system, and to reduce I/O wastage
in general.
This change will not be the last of such changes!

an equivalent change has been made in cbmk.
certain lbmk-specific variable names have been made
generic, with certain functions and other variables
moved around.
i maintain sync between libreboot and canoeboot, where
both projects can have the same behaviours, and most of
the merge conflicts have to do with variable names
containing "LBMK", "lbmk", "cbmk" or "CBMK", or
indeed "canoeboot" and "libreboot"
LBMK/lbmk/CBMK/cbmk variables between canoeboot and
libreboot now contain the string XBMK/xbmk
it should now be *much* easier to merge build system
changes between lbmk and cbmk.

releases aren't reproducible anyway. we were
using options available in gnu tar for this.
it will be revisited at a later date. however, the next
time this is done, we will use another method because
there are in fact portable ways to create tarballs
reproducibly, documented on reproducible-builds.org
to be revisited, at a later date. for now, remove bloat.

export LBMK_RELEASE="y"
if this is done, the tarball is created instead
of a directory, and the rom images are nuked using
./vendor inject with the nuke option, inserting the
correct version files; the rom directory is deleted
now the release script logic simple renames existing
tarballs. the benefit of this change is fewer lines of
code, and now lbmk doesn't use an insane amount of disk
space when building a *lot* of release images (the
uncompressed directories are deleted after each build)

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.
