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.

"./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.

it will be revisited at a later date. however, the next
time this is done, we will use another method because

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.

export LBMK_THREADS=x
where x is an integer. this is already supported for
setting the number of build threads, but if not set
it uses nproc.
openbsd doesn't have nproc. default to 1 thread.

export LBMK_THREADS=$(nproc)

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"

lbmk sets TMPDIR to /tmp, and then creates a tmpdir, then
exports *that* as the value of TMPDIR. this unified TMPDIR
location then contains all subsequent files and directories,
when any script or program makes use of /tmp, via mktemp. at
least, that's the theory!
in practise, because it was only being properly exported from
the main build scripts, subscripts that are then called were
not exporting it, at least that is my assumption because in
some cases, i found that the coreboot build system was leaving
errant files behind outside of our own TMPDIR, and that build
system did not seem to be setting TMPDIR itself; more debugging
is needed.
anyway: use the exact same logic, but do it from err.sh. since
err.sh is included from every lbmk script, that means it will
always be exported when running every single part of lbmk. this
should reduce the chance that mktemp creates files and directories
outside of our custom TMPDIR location.
this is because in lbmk, we mitigate unhandled tmpdirs/files by
unifying it in the manner described, then deleting the entire
TMPDIR on exit from the main lbmk parent process (the main
script that the user called from, which is always the "build"
file).
in lbmk, effort is made to clean up temporary files properly,
without relying on this catch-all, but we can't rely on that.
the catch-all should also be as robust as possible.

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.

lbmk otherwise uses nproc to set the number of build threads,
in these places:
* generic make commands in script/update/trees
* crossgcc make command in script/update/trees
the -T0 option is also used in script/update/release, when running
tar.
with this change, you can do:
export LBMK_THREADS=x
where x is the number of threads. when you then run
lbmk, your chosen number of threads will override
the default. this may be useful on a host that does
not have a lot of memory.

in shell scripts, a function named the same as a program included in
the $PATH will override that program. for example, you could make a
function called ls() and this would override the standand "ls".
in lbmk, a part of it was first trying to run the "fail" command,
deferring to "err", because some scripts call fail() which does
some minor cleanup before calling err.
in most cases, fail() is not defined, and it's possible that the user
could have a program called "fail" in their $PATH, the behaviour of
which we could not determine, and it could have disastrous effects.
lbmk error handling has been re-engineered in such a way that the
err function is defined in a variable, which defaults to err_ which
calls err_, so defined under include/err.sh.
in functions that require cleanup prior to error handling, a fail()
function is still defined, and err is overridden, thus:
err="fail"
this change has made xx_() obsolete, so now only x_ is used. the x_
function is a wrapper that can be used to run a command and exit with
non-zero status (from lbmk) if the command fails. the xx_ command
did the same thing, but called fail() which would have called err();
now everything is $err
example:
rm -f "$filename" || err "could not delete file"
this would now be:
rm -f "$filename" || $err "could not delete file"
overriding of err= must be done *after* including err.sh. for
example:
err="fail"
. "include/err.sh"
^ this is wrong. instead, one must do:
. "include/err.sh"
err="fail"
this is because err is set as a global variable under err.sh
the new error handling is much cleaner, and safer. it also reduces
the chance of mistakes such as: calling err when you meant to
call fail. this is because the standard way is now to call $err,
so you set err="fail" at the top of the script and all is well.
