2024-04-26build/roms: let "list" specify status typesLeah Rowe
for example: ./build roms list this will list every now, still. same behaviour. now see: ./build roms list stable this will list all stable roms ./build roms list untested this lists untested roms. but wait! ./build roms list untested broken unstable ./build roms list broken unstable yes. it works this way. now you can use lbmk to easily see what rom status are, during maintenance.

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>
2024-04-25build/roms: add missing deletion of tmp fileLeah Rowe
the temporary rom per build was not being deleted after finishing the current target. this adds up in /tmp during large builds, when building for many targets. fix this! 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>
2024-03-27safer, simpler error handling in lbmkLeah Rowe
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.

2024-01-18GRUB: insert only 1 keymap per board, in cbfsLeah Rowe
There is no need to add multiple keymap files, because GRUB can load keymaps from CBFS. The current build logic is designed to avoid building multiple GRUB binaries, which are expensive computationally because each one would then have to be compressed for each board. This patch provides the best of both worlds: less space used in flash like in the old lbmk design (1 keymap per board), but retaining the current build speeds and therefore not re-introducing the slowness of lbmk's previous GRUB build logic. The grub.cfg file has been modified, accordingly. It now only loads a keymap.gkb file from CBFS, by default. It does this, only if that file exists; if not, GRUB already defaults to US Qwerty layout anyway. ALSO: compress all keymap gkb files with xz -6 GRUB automatically decompresses files when accessed. This results in about 2KB of flash space saved in CBFS. Here is real-world data, showing the increased flash space: < fallback/payload 0x3eb80 simple elf 548821 none < keymap.cfg 0xc4bc0 raw 16 none < (empty) 0xc4c00 null 11633316 none --- > fallback/payload 0x3eb80 simple elf 546787 none > keymap.gkb 0xc43c0 raw 344 none > (empty) 0xc4540 null 11635044 none This was taken by diffing the cbfstool "print" output, both before and after. The *after* result is with this change. 11633316. In this example, 1728 bytes have been saved. Therefore, with compression taken into account, this patch saves about 1.7KB of space in CBFS. This change means that lbmk can now scale to support hundreds of keymaps, without increasing the amount of flash space used, in each given image. Since the keymap files are compressed in lbmk.git, in advance, we spend no additional time on compression at build time. The resulting change in build speed in negligible. Adding your own keymap.gkb file was already possible, for changing the keymap in libreboot images, if you didn't want to change the memdisk (and thus re-compile grub.elf). Now, this is the default behaviour, and the only way to do it. It's much more efficient. The original keymap files can be restored, by running unxz. Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

2024-01-17build/roms: regression fix: uninitialised variableLeah Rowe

arch no longer needs to be set, on multi-tree projects, and it has been renamed to xarch the new behaviour is: if xarch is set, treat it as a list of crossgcc targets and go through the list. set the first one as the target, for what lbmk builds, but build all of the defined crossgccc targets crossgcc_ada is now xlang, and defines which languages to build, rather than whether to build gcc-gnat Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>

2023-12-23set version/projectname properlyLeah Rowe
lbmk used to set version/versiondate directly in err.sh, but now it's handled there by a function, which is called by the main script. script/update/release hadn't yet been adapted. the only change necessary is to call check_project() script/update/trees also makes use of it script/build/roms is using "projectname" Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2023-12-23don't delete microcode updates in rom imagesLeah Rowe
at present, lbmk can remove microcode updates on images for a given target, if the target specifies microcode_required="n" in target.cfg lbmk then provides images with microcode, and images without, in a given release. although the user can also remove them manually, this just makes it a bit more convenient, for those users who do wish to run without the updates. this functionality is provided only on those platforms where no-microcode is tested. well, this behaviour implements a compromise on libreboot policy, which is to always include microcode updates by default. see: Binary Blob Reduction Policy the *canoeboot* project now exists, developed in parallel with libreboot, and it ships without microcode updates, on the same targets where lbmk also handled this. running without microcode updates is foolish, and should not be encouraged. clean up lbmk by not providing this kludge. the libreboot documentation will be updated, telling such users to try canoeboot instead, or to remove the update from a given libreboot rom - this is still possible, and mitigations such as PECI disablement on GM45 are still in place (and will be kept), so that this continues to work well.

2023-12-21build/roms: remove modify_coreboot_rom()Leah Rowe
don't handle "romtype" at all, in board target.cfg files add /dev/null as pike2008 rom on amd boards. this serves the same purpose, adding them as empty vga roms, to add an empty rom in cbfs. pike2008 cards cause seabios to hang, when their oproms are executed, so we insert a fake rom on i945 thinkpads, use the coreboot config option: CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK when set, this enables the same bootblock copy, for use with bucts. these two cases, namely pike2008 roms and i945 bootblock copies, no longer need to be handled in code Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2023-12-16remove DEBUG handling in lbmk (not needed)Leah Rowe

2023-11-08lbmk: don't use status for unconditional returnsLeah Rowe
in cases where lbmk must always return from a function, there are some cases where it relies on non-zero exit status, which in practise is always the case, but may change in the future if the relevant part is modified e.g. do_something && return 0 the proper form is: do_something return 0 also do this for unconditional exits Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
2023-11-01build/roms: re-add SeaGRUB build supportLeah Rowe
it didn't work in the past, but it does work nowadays; specifically, it only worked with libgfxinit in the past, but not on VGA ROMs. now it does work on VGA ROMs, tested on e6400 and t1650 so it was enabled there. in this setup, a special image is provided where SeaBIOS is the main payload, but it only loads GRUB; nothing else, every. this is called SeaGRUB. this setup is useful in cases where the user only has a GPU that lacks libgfxinit support.

2023-10-24build/roms: copy base rom again for u-bootLeah Rowe
when building only for u-boot, the current script works just fine. however, when building for other payloads in additional to u-boot, the final u-boot stage fails because other payloads are already inserted via cbfs. when we build u-boot, we do that last because we want u-boot setups to only be u-boot, nothing else. this patch enables qemu x86 to build properly with u-boot.

2023-10-2220231021hotfix: replace x_ with err in some places20231021fixLeah Rowe
keymaps weren't being set in keymay.cfg of cbfs, due to use of x_ in the rom script, and x_ doesn't handle quotes or spaces in arguments well. i'm going to remove use of x_ and xx_ (it's in my todo), for next release. for now, hot patch the release. i've gone through and replaced use of x_ with || err, in some places. not just the keymap.cfg command, but others too. in case there are more issues we missed. this commit is being tagged "20231021fix" and i'm using this tag to re-build the 20231021 release. i'll just replace the tarballs in rsync and add errata to the news page announcing the release. all i did was break peoples umlauts, i didn't brick their machines fortunately! very minor bug. anyway, x_/xx_ is a great idea, but sh isn't really designed for that style of programming. i'll go back to using just || err in the next release.
