Leah Rowe 8cb66ef10e Add Sony PlayStation support to Canoeboot
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.

Leah Rowe d08b175a0d rom.sh: re-add seabios-only roms and grub keymaps
this time, only handle multiple keymaps on seagrub
images. for images where seabios is first but does
not immediately load grub, whether grub is still
available in flash, just do one image (US Qwerty)

this still results in fewer images per target than
Libreboot 20240612, but should prevent most users
from being annoyed. i got a few people asking
repeatedly, and i hadn't documented yet how to add
keymap.gkb or how to remove bootorder, to get a
different keymap or disable seagrub respectively.

i anticipate that i'll get such questions a lot, even
if i do document it, so i'm reversing that decision.

it doesn't result in much extra code. the new design
in lbmk makes this sort of thing much simpler.

Leah Rowe a258eb231a trees: remove project-specific hacks
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.

Leah Rowe 4dbce8aef0 trees: support -d (dry run) for custom build logic
-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.

Leah Rowe e01995d491 rom.sh: new file, to replace script/roms
stub it from the trees script. the way it works now,
there is less code in the build system.

./build roms

this is no longer a thing

./build roms serprog

this is also no longer a thing. instead, do:

./update trees -b coreboot targetnamehere

./update trees -b pico-serprog

./update trees -b stm32-vserprog

the old commands still works, which causes the new
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.

Leah Rowe 1b75d738bf GRUB: only load xhci from grub.cfg
don't put it in the install modules.

this works around a hanging issue on haswell thinkpads.

when any usb device is inserted, GRUB will sometimes
hang if started from the SeaBIOS payload, *while* the
USB device is plugged in.

plugging in the USB device after GRUB starts worked.
it will have to be investigated more at a later date,
but this simply configuration change works.

the xhci module is already loaded explicitly, in grub.cfg

Leah Rowe bfeab80a8d trees: just do makeargs on coreboot, not cbmakearg
stick the makeargs in mkhelper

i previously did cbmakeargs because the old revisions
had to define makeargs per-target otherwise. mkhelper
was done specifically to solve that problem.

Leah Rowe 581d4a66ac grub: only enable nvme if needed on a board
remove nvme support from the "default" grub tree

now there are three trees:

* default: no xhci or nvme patches
* nvme: contains nvme support
* xhci: contains xhci and nvme support

this is in case a bug like lbmk issue #216 ever occurs
again, as referenced before during lbmk audit 5

there is no indication that the nvme patch causes any
issues, but after previous experience i want to be sure

Leah Rowe 070aee6728 re-add ability to use cbfs grub.cfg as default
i removed this before, when making grub multi-tree,
because the design i used in an earlier version of
the patch actually added the grub.elf generation
to grub source itself, but then i decided to hack
around the grub build system from lbmk/cbmk instead

re-add this functionality, so that users can easily
insert their own custom grub.cfg into cbfs without
needing to re-build their image.

Leah Rowe 7d99786a1a handle build.list from config/data/, not config/
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

Leah Rowe eb4ac3c334 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.
