people were raising a stink about futility test data
in GNU Boot recently, which is proprietary data that
they forgot to delete.
i was already deleting this data since october 2023,
when canoeboot pretty much first started, and they
recently started following suit in their project.
however, i was deleting specific files, found as a
result of intense auditing done in october 2023. to
be more cautious, this patch now simply deletes the
entire directory, so that no test data remains. this
ensures that any future additions upstream will not
be included inadvertently in releases.
not to gloat, but this was never an issue in canoeboot.
again to be clear, this is a preventative fix; titled
"irony prevention", because such a bug in a future
release would indeed be highly ironic.
irony is not allowed.

I also added a "cleanargs" argument, similar to the makeargs
argument, to work around a build error.
This builds the PCSX-Redux PS1 BIOS. They reverse engineered
the Sony PS1 BIOS and wrote a free one under MIT license.
Run this:
./mk -b pcsx-redux
The file will appear: bin/playstation/openbios.bin
Yes. PlayStation support. It's even RYF-friendly:
* Replace BIOS chip with PCSX-Redux's open BIOS
* Install PsNee modchip (libre modchip firmware)
* Install PicoStation (libre optical disc drive emulator)
* Libre SDKs are available e.g. PSn00bSDK
I added this to Libreboot, because I'm working on a fork of
DuckStation. DuckStation recently went proprietary, so I'm making
a fork (soon to be launched) that is based on the libre version,
and I was told of PCSX-Redux's Open BIOS, so I decided to add it
to the *boot projects.

We don't need the entire emulator, but we will be using
a specific part: src/mips/openbios
third_party/uC-sdk submodule is included, because it
contains the necessary header files when building open bios.
I will be adding Sony Playstation support to Canoeboot,
alongside a new emulator project to be announced soon.
Yes, RYF playstation is possible. A real playstation can
run this BIOS. Then disable the copy protection from the
CD controller by installing a modchip (PsNee runs free
modchip firmware), and picostation is also libre if you want
something to boot software from SD card instead of CD-R.

musl libc is very conservative in what it implements,
preferring a very "pure" libc implementation. this means
that it lacks many of the niceties found in others like
the GNU C Library; the latter implements many BSD libc
extensions, for example.
ACCESSPERMS is a #define in BSD libc that does:
S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO
Essentially, it provides a bitwise OR providing chmod 0777,
which can be used as shorthand in calls to functions such
as mkdir() available in all libc implementations.
In the case of uefitool, this define is indeed used on mkdir.
Conditionally re-define ACCESSPERMS, if undefined, so that musl
libc can be used when building uefitool.

Commit 46e01c0e1dad ("u-boot: Avoid building U-Boot-only binman images")
added a patch that prevents an error while building U-Boot, due to some
U-Boot images needing a copy of BL31 that we are not passing in.
Removing build instructions for these images isn't really necessary,
when we can instead tell the build tool that it shouldn't exit with an
error. It checks a BINMAN_ALLOW_MISSING environment variable for this,
but just unconditionally replace the check with the argument.

Set default U-Boot revision to v2024.07 and rebase patches on top of
that. One patch that fixes drawing box characters (UTF-8 to CP437) had
an alternative merged, another hack we have to fix regulator issues is
no longer neccessary as the issue is fixed, and my QEMU patches were
merged upstream, so drop these patches. One patch we have to disable
binman images can be replaced by a simpler alternative so drop it too.
Upstream kconfig status is still unstable, so updating configs with
`make oldconfig` would miss important upstream changes, since they rely
on carrying defaults via upstream defconfigs. Update the configs as
such, like before:
- Turn old configs into defconfigs (./update trees -s u-boot)
- Save the diff from old upstream defconfig (diffconfig $theirs $ours)
- Update U-Boot revision, rebase patches, and clean old trees
- Prepare new U-Boot tree (./update trees -f u-boot)
- Review the diffconfigs to see if any options were renamed upstream
- Copy over the new upstream defconfigs and apply earlier diff
- Turn new defconfigs into configs (./update trees -l u-boot)

move the coreboot-specific includes into mkhelper.cfg
for that project.
on some projects, we need variables from mkhelper.cfg
to be global, so I was including serprog and coreboot
mkhelper.cfg files in this script.
instead, set a new variable "mkhelpercfg" pointing to
the config file. if it doesn't exist, create and then
point to a temporary (empty) mkhelper.cfg file.
the rom.sh include has been moved to coreboot mkhelper.cfg
The only remaining project-specific logic, in this trees
script, is now the coreboot crossgcc handling, but this
needs to be there as it's also used to build U-Boot.
The way this now works, certain includes are done twice.
For example, include/rom.sh will be included once globally,
outside of main(), and then again in configure_project().
This means that certain functions will be defined twice.
I'm uncertain if shell has anything equivalent to an ifdef
guard as in C, but we actually want this here anyway, and
it shouldn't cause any problems. It's a bit of a hack, but
otherwise results in much cleaner code.

-d does the same as -b, except for actually building
anything! in effect, it does the same as -f (fetch)
except that the resulting variable assignments will
not be recursive (as with -f).
if -d is passed, configuration is still loaded, defconfig
files are still cycled through, and more importantly:
helper functions are still processed.
the grub, serprog and coreboot helper functions have
been modified to return early (zero status) if -d is
passed.
example usage:
./update trees -d coreboot x230_12mb
this would download the files, NOT build coreboot, and
NOT build the payloads.
there is one additional benefit to doing it this way:
the utils command has been removed, e.g.
./update trees -b coreboot utils default
the equivalent is now:
./update trees -d coreboot default
the overall effect of this change is that the trees script
no longer contains any project-specific logic, except for
the crossgcc build logic.
it does include some config/data mkhelper files at the top,
for serprog and coreboot, so that those variables defined in
those files can be global, but another solution to mitigate
that will also be implemented in a future commit.
the purpose of this and other revisions (in the final push
to complete lbmk audit 6 / cbmk audit 2) is to generalise as
much logic as possible, removing various ugly hacks.

./update trees -b coreboot targetnamehere
./update trees -b pico-serprog

commands to run
coreboot roms now appear in elf/, not bin/, as before,
but those images now contain payloads.
NOTE: to contradict the above: ./build roms is no
longer a thing, in that it's now deprecated, but
backward compatibility is present for now. it will
be removed in a future release.
./build roms list also still works! it will do:
./update trees -b coreboot list
also:
./update trees -b grub list
this is now possible too
if a target "list" is provided, for multi-tree sources,
the targets are shown.
there is another difference: seagrub roms are now seagrub_,
instead of seabios_withgrub.
seabios-only roms are no longer provided, where grub is also
enabled; only seagrub is used. the user can easily remove
the bootorder file, if they want seabios to not try grub first.

Never, ever build images where GRUB is the primary payload.
These options have been removed from target.cfg handling:
* seabios_withgrub
* grub_withseabios
The "payload_grub" variable now does the same thing as
the old "seabios_withgrub" variable, if set.
The "grubonly" configuration is retained, and enabled by
default when SeaGRUB is enabled (non-grubonly also available).
Due to lbmk issue #216, it is no longer Libreboot policy to
make GRUB the primary payload on any board. GRUB's sheer size
and complexity, plus the large number of memory corruption issues
similar to it that *have* been fixed over the years, tells me
that GRUB is a liability when it is the primary payload.
SeaBIOS is a much safer payload to run as primary, on x86, due
to its smaller size and much more conservative development; it
is simply far less likely to break.
If GRUB breaks in the future, the user's machine is not
bricked. This is because SeaBIOS is the default payload.
Since I no longer wish to ever provide GRUB as a primary
payload, supporting it in lbmk adds needless bloat that
will later probably break anyway due to lack of testing,
so let's just assume SeaGRUB in all cases where the user
wants to use a GRUB payload.
You can mitigate potential security issues with SeaBIOS
by disabling option ROM execution, which can be done at
runtime by inserting integers into CBFS. The SeaBIOS
documentation says how to do this.
Libreboot's GRUB hardening guide still says how to add
a bootorder file in CBFS, making SeaBIOS only load GRUB
from CBFS, and nothing else. This, combined with the
disablement of option ROM execution (if using Intel
graphics), pretty much provides the same security benefits
as GRUB-as-primary, for example when setting a GRUB password
and GPG checks, with encrypted /boot as in the hardening guide.

replace it with logic that simply uses "." to load

config/git files are now directories, also containing
pkg.cfg files each with the same variables as before,
such as repository link and commit hash
this change results in a noticeable reduction in code
complexity within the build system.
unified reading of config files: new function setcfg()
added to lib.sh
setcfg checks if a config exists. if a 2nd argument is
passed, it is used as a return value for eval, otherwise
a string calling err is passed. setcfg output is passed
through eval, to set strings based on config; eval must
be used, so that the variables are set within the same
scope, otherwise they'd be set within setcfg which could
lead to some whacky results.

the background is only a few kb. the whole rationale
before was to limit the space used in memdisk, but this
decision was made when the background was much bigger;
it has since been optimised greatly, and the grub modules
were heavily reduce, so it should be safe.
grub's memdisk breaks when you add too much data to it.
as part of simplifying the rest of lbmk, this change removes
some more bloat from the rest of lbmk. handling this in the

Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
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.

again: the "depend" variable must never be used for subprojects
that point to a subdirectory of the main project, because there's
no clean way of handling this in case of error conditions.
make it a submodule under config/submodules/. this is for the
documentation, including static site generator documentation,
and image files (photos).
as of this revision, there are now only those "depend" projects
defined in config/git/, where the destination directory of the
subject is not a subdirectory of the main project, so:
in a subsequest revision, i will mitigate an existing bug whereby
failure of the dependency project leaves the main one still
intact, breaking builds; this revision enables that to be done.
from now on, subproject-to-subdirectory-of-main-project will
be avoided in config/git/; config/submodules/ will be used.

same as the previous patch, we must no longer use "define"
variables in config/git/ when the path is a subdirectory of
a given project, because it means that the download can only
happen after the main one, and currently if that fails, the
download of the main repo would remain intact, breaking future
builds in ways that we can't control - to be clear, it could
be controlled, but with added code complexity in the build
system, so:
put it in config/submodules/

don't define it as a "depend" variable in config/git/,
because it means putting the files in a subdirectory of
an existing project was was already then downloaded, and
that means it can't be downloaded first; if the download
of it fails, the old download is left intact.
this bug isn't currently fixed in the build system, at all,
so this and other patches are being made to mitigate it.

certain code checks for build.list, to skip it, for
example in items()
we already use config/data/grub to store grub config data
that applied to all trees
create these directories too:
config/data/coreboot
config/data/u-boot
config/data/seabios
move the respective build.list files in here, and also
to config/data/grub
now multi-tree projects contain, per directory, just the
target.cfg file and the patches directory. this is much
cleaner, because some of the logic can be simplified more

it imports the same environmental variable fix because
i had the same buggy TMPDIR check there. i fixed that
upstream in untitled.
import the new untitled revision.
