make GRUB multi-tree and re-add xhci patches The xHCI patches were removed because they caused issues on Sandybridge-based Dell Latitude laptops. See: https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/216 The issue was not reported elsewhere, but we still don't need xHCI support in Canoeboot's GRUB because none of the available coreboot targets have xHCI support. However, we may want it in the future and it helps to keep Canoeboot in sync with Libreboot (this patch is adapted from lbmk). Each given coreboot target can say which GRUB tree to use by setting this in target.cfg: grubtree="xhci" In the above example, the "xhci" tree would be used. Some generic GRUB config has been moved to config/data/grub/ and config/grub/ now looks like config/coreboot/ - also, the grub.cfg file (named "payload" in each tree) is copied to the GRUB source tree as ".config", then added to GRUB's memdisk in the same way, as grub.cfg. Several other design changes had to be made because of this: * grub.cfg in memdisk no longer automatically jumps to one in CBFS, but now shows a menuentry for it if available * Certain commands in script/trees are disabled for GRUB, such as *config make commands. * gnulib is now defined in config/submodule/grub/, instead of config/git/grub - and this mitigates an existing bug where downloading gnulib first would make grub no longer possible to download in lbmk. There is another reason for merging this design change from lbmk, and that reasoning also applies to lbmk. Specifically: This change will enable per-board GRUB optimisation in the future. For example, we hardcode what partitions and LVMs GRUB scans because * is slow on ICH7-based machines, due to GRUB's design. On other machines, * is reasonably fast, for automatically enumerating the list of devices for boot. Use of * (and other wildcards) could enable our GRUB payload to automatically boot more distros, with minimal fuss. This can be done at a later date, in subsequent revisions.

git.sh: support downloading *files* as submodules when we download coreboot, we currently don't have a way to download crossgcc tarballs, so we rely on coreboot to do it, which means running the coreboot build system to do it; which means we don't get them in release archives, unless we add very hacky logic (which did exist and was removed). the problem with coreboot's build system is that it does not define backup links for each given tarball, instead relying on gnu.org exclusively, which seems OK at first because the gnu.org links actually return an HTTP 302 response leading to a random mirror, HOWEVER: the gnu.org 302 redirect often fails, and the download fails, causing an error. a mitigation for this has been to patch the coreboot build system to download directly from a single mirror that is reliable (in our case mirrorservice.org). while this mitigation mostly works, it's not redundant; the kent mirror is occasionally down too, and again we still have the problem of not being able to cleanly provide crossgcc tarballs inside release archives. do it in config/submodules, like so: module.list shall say the relative path of a given file, once downloaded, relative to the given source tree. module.cfg shall be re-used, in the same way as for git submodules, but: subfile="url" subfile_bkup="backup url" do this, instead of: subrepo="url" subrepo_bkup="backup url" example entries in module.list: util/crossgcc/tarballs/binutils-2.41.tar.xz util/crossgcc/tarballs/gcc-13.2.0.tar.xz util/crossgcc/tarballs/gmp-6.3.0.tar.xz util/crossgcc/tarballs/mpc-1.3.1.tar.gz util/crossgcc/tarballs/mpfr-4.2.1.tar.xz util/crossgcc/tarballs/nasm-2.16.01.tar.bz2 util/crossgcc/tarballs/R06_28_23.tar.gz the "subrev" variable (in module.cfg) has been renamed to "subhash", so that this makes sense, and that name is common to both subfile/subrepo. the download logic from the vendor scripts has been re-used for this purpose, and it verifies files using sha512sum. therefore: when specifying subrepo(git submodule), subhash will still be a sha1 checksum, but: when specifying subfile(file, e.g. tarball), subhash will be a sha512 checksum the logic for both (subrepo and subfile) is unified, and has this rule: subrepo* and subfile* must never *both* be declared. the actual configuration of coreboot crossgcc tarballs will be done in a follow-up commit. this commit simply modifies the code to accomodate this. over time, this feature could be used for many other files within source trees, and could perhaps be expanded to allow extracting source tarballs in leiu of git repositories, but the latter is not yet required and thus not implemented.
