If the script is named u-boot-stable-src-release and that users see an
u-boot-libre tarball they will not make the link between both unless
we rename the script.

Many people using FSDG compliant distributions or wanting to use one
are already familiar with linux-libre. This change renames the
resulting tarball to u-boot-libre to make it easier for people to
understand the goal of this tarball.
In addition we also rename the version from v2021.07 (which is the git
tag corresponding to the release) to 2021.07 as u-boot upstream
tarballs use that.
The revision wasn't bumped as we didn't have any releases of
u-boot-libre yet.

Once the tarball are released, it will enable distributions to use
these tarballs to produce deblobbed u-boot packages.
Note that the produced tarball is not reproducible yet. Because of
that it has to be trusted.
During a release, it's a good idea to sign the uncompressed tarball as
the various compression formats and associated tools make different
tradeoffs.
For instance with xz, xz -9e tends to compress really well with the
the most used xz[1] implementation, and most GNU/Linux users probably
already have it installed, but and the drawbacks is that the format is
very fragile[2].
The lzip format is more suited for long term archiving but its most
packaged implementation[3] is less likely to be already installed by
users than more well known formats like xz, bzip2 or gzip.
Being able to add more compression formats after the release is also
useful, for instance to accommodate different build systems or use
cases (like being able to build u-boot with less dependencies in
distributions like Guix, or building u-boot directly on devices which
don't have enough RAM for xz for instance).

build_error is supposed to be a file since it's created with touch.

it's confusing, broken and most people nowadays don't use optical drives
it's not even possible in most setups anyway

hardcode everything. in practise, the new logic will work just the same in
almost all cases, for most people, but it works around performance issues in
grub. cleanup of grub.cfg will be done in the next commit

GRUB is slow at device enumeration. This patch works around it in the same way
as vitali64's recent patch.
|
|
On many boards, grub takes a very long time to
search for a grub.cfg file on the disk.
The problem is the search_grub function which
takes a long time to complete.
I (vitali64) studied the grub.cfg from 2016 and
the grub.cfg from 2021 and optimized the
grub.cfg. It should be faster now.

Coreboot is enabling PECI on these CPUs which, according to Intel erratum, must
only be done after loading microcode updates, otherwise the CPUID feature set
becomes corrupted. That's my understanding, and I think this is why SpeedStep
is broken. To be specific, it could but but operating systems no longer detect
that the feature is supported. In any case, belgin on IRC found the commit in
coreboot, after a bisect, enabling PECI. This commit in Libreboot adds a patch,
reverting coreboot's PECI patch.

tianocore is a liability for the libreboot project. it's a bloated mess, and
unreliable, broken on many boards, and basically impossible to audit.
i don't trust tianocore, so i'm removing it.

works around a build error with gcc 7.5. the patches being removed
from memtest86+ aren't really necessary for the average user anyway

you must de-solder the default chip and install the new one.
