for example:
./build roms list stable
this lists all images that are marked "stable"
now:
./build roms list _stable
this lists all images that are *not* marked stable
this will help me keep track during development

This is useful on desktops, where you want GRUB to
automatically start, but you still want access to the
GRUB menu, in the case where you rely on SeaBIOS to
execute the VGA ROM inside your graphics card.

just to ensure that nothing goes wrong. we don't rely on
the status variable for releases, because there is another
variable, release, that target.cfg files declare, e.g.
release="n"
release="y"
you can just omit the variable, because it defaults to y, so
you only need declare it when it needs to be "n"

export LBMK_STATUS=n
if not set, the status checks and confirmation dialogs
persist. if set to y they persist.
if you set it to n, all checks are disabled, so e.g.:
./build roms all
this would once again build all targets, regardless
of status. this is if you want the old behaviour.

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.

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"

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.

in some cases, the build system was needlessly, and sometimes
erroneously, creating crossgcc symlinks, which then caused an
issue, namely:
in lbmk release builds, dell e6400 is build before fam15h boards,
and it sets xtree, but fam15h_rdimm doesn't, and later this would
cause fam15h_rdimm boards to use xtree="default" (because they don't
set xtree), causing the newer toolchain to be used on coreboot 4.11.
this patch fixes the issue. quite a simple problem, actually.

the boarddir variable is only set *after* detect_board
is run, and is in fact checked after that. this check,
removed by this patch, is too early and causes lbmk
to exit with error states. this patch fixes the error.
the error was that lbmk was then searching for a file
that is at an empty path.

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.

the "kmapdir" variable was removed in an earlier audit,
but was overlooked for -k because that option was untested.
rather than initialise the variable, re-use grubcfgsdir.

with neutered ME, fan control fails. while there are
ways to mitigate it, many users will not, and will
likely see their system overheat, which is very
dangerous.
this bug (failed fan control on neutered ME) only
affects arrandale machines such as lenovo x201.
the newer machines are not affected by this.
other arrandale machines will probably not be added
to libreboot because of this, or they will be subject
to further testing.

This is of Broadwell platform, one generation above Haswell.
Of note: this uses HP Sure Start. Although the flash is 16MB,
our CBFS section (and IFD configuration) assumes 12MB flash,
so the final 4MB will be left unflashed on installation,
after blanking the private flash. The coreboot documents have
more information about this.
Some minor design changes in lbmk were made, to accomodate
this port:
Support for extracting refcode binaries added (pulled from
Google recovery images). The refcode file is an ELF that
initialises the MRC and the PCH. It is also responsible for
enabling or disabling the Intel GbE device, where Google
does not enable it, but lbmk modifies it per the instructions
on the coreboot documentation, so as to enable Intel GbE.
Google's recovery image stores the refcode as a stage file,
but coreboot changed the format (for CBFS files) after 4.13
so coreboot 4.13's cbfstool is used to extract refcode. This
realisation made me also change the script logic to use a
cbfstool and ifdtool version matching the coreboot tree, for
all parts of lbmk, whereas lbmk previously used only the
default tree for cbfstool/ifdtool, on insertion and deletion
of vendor files - it was 81dc20e744 that broke extraction of
refcode on google's recovery images, where google used an older
version of cbfstool to insert the files in their coreboot ROMs.
A further backported patch has been added, copying coreboot
revision f22f408956 which is a build fix from Nico Huber.
Iru Cai submitted an ACPI bugfix after the revision lbmk
currently uses, for coreboot/default, and this fix is
needed for rebooting to work on Linux 6.1 or higher. This
patch has been backported to lbmk, while it still uses the
same October 2023 revision of coreboot.
Broadwell MRC is inserted at the same offset as Haswell,
so I didn't need to tweak that.
