![]() A number of regressions were caused by the recent CVE fixes, many of which have since been fixed upstream. This includes several ext4 file system bugs, which caused some systems not to boot properly, when dealing with very large initramfs files. No additional patching has been made. This will be tested, and then used to provide a revision update for Libreboot 20241206. After this, there are several additional OOT patches that will be merged, for the next *testing release* of Libreboot. Update to this revision, for all GRUB trees: a4da71dafeea519b034beb159dfe80c486c2107c This brings in the following changes from upstream: * a4da71daf util/grub-install: Include raid5rec module for RAID 4 as well * 223fcf808 loader/ia64/efi/linux: Reset grub_errno on failure to allocate * 6504a8d4b lib/datetime: Specify license in emu module * 8fef533cf configure: Add -mno-relax on riscv* * 1fe094855 docs: Document the long options of tpm2_key_protect_init * 6252eb97c INSTALL: Document the packages needed for TPM2 key protector tests * 9d4b382aa docs: Update NV index mode of TPM2 key protector * 2043b6899 tests/tpm2_key_protector_test: Add more NV index mode tests * 9f66a4719 tests/tpm2_key_protector_test: Reset "ret" on fail * b7d89e667 tests/tpm2_key_protector_test: Simplify the NV index mode test * 5934bf51c util/grub-protect: Support NV index mode * cd9cb944d tpm2_key_protector: Support NV index handles * fa69deac5 tpm2_key_protector: Unseal key from a buffer * 75c480885 tss2: Add TPM 2.0 NV index commands * 041164d00 tss2: Fix the missing authCommand * 46c9f3a8d tpm2_key_protector: Add tpm2_dump_pcr command * 617dab9e4 tpm2_key_protector: Dump PCRs on policy fail * 204a6ddfb loader/i386/linux: Update linux_kernel_params to match upstream * 6b64f297e loader/xnu: Fix memory leak * f94d257e8 fs/btrfs: Fix memory leaks * 81146fb62 loader/i386/linux: Fix resource leak * 1d0059447 lib/reloacator: Fix memory leaks * f3f1fcecd disk/ldm: Fix memory leaks * aae2ea619 fs/ntfs: Fix NULL pointer dereference and possible infinite loop * 3b25e494d net/drivers/ieee1275/ofnet: Add missing grub_malloc() * fee6081ec kern/ieee1275/init: Increase MIN_RMA size for CAS negotiation on PowerPC machines * b66c6f918 fs/zfs: Fix a number of memory leaks in ZFS code * 1d59f39b5 tests/util/grub-shell: Remove the work directory on successful run and debug is not on * e0116f3bd tests/grub_cmd_cryptomount: Remove temporary directories if successful and debug is not on * e6e2b73db tests/grub_cmd_cryptomount: Default TMPDIR to /tmp * 32b02bb92 tests/grub_cmd_cryptomount: Cleanup the cryptsetup script unless debug is enabled * c188ca5d5 tests: Cleanup generated files on expected failure in grub_cmd_cryptomount * 50320c093 tests/util/grub-shell-luks-tester: Add missing line to create RET variable in cleanup * bb6d3199b tests/util/grub-shell-luks-tester: Find cryptodisk by UUID * 3fd163e45 tests/util/grub-shell: Default qemuopts to envvar $GRUB_QEMU_OPTS * ff7f55307 disk/lvm: Add informational messages in error cases of ignored features * a16b4304a disk/lvm: Add support for cachevol LV * 9a37d6114 disk/lvm: Add support for integrity LV * 6c14b87d6 lvm: Match all LVM segments before validation * d34b9120e disk/lvm: Remove unused cache_pool * 90848a1f7 disk/lvm: Make cache_lv more generic as ignored_feature_lv * 488ac8bda commands/ls: Add directory header for dir args * 096bf59e4 commands/ls: Print full paths for file args * 90288fc48 commands/ls: Output path for single file arguments given with path * 6337d84af commands/ls: Show modification time for file paths * cbfb031b1 commands/ls: Merge print_files_long() and print_files() into print_file() * 112d2069c commands/ls: Return proper GRUB_ERR_* for functions returning type grub_err_t * da9740cd5 commands/acpi: Use options enum to index command options * 1acf11fe4 docs: Capture additional commands restricted by lockdown * 6a168afd3 docs: Document restricted filesystems in lockdown * be0ae9583 loader/i386/bsd: Fix type passed for the kernel * ee27f07a6 kern/partition: Unbreak support for nested partitions * cb639acea lib/tss2/tss2_structs.h: Fix clang build -

Canoeboot
Find canoeboot documentation at https://canoeboot.org/
The canoeboot
project provides
libre boot
firmware that initializes the hardware (e.g. memory controller, CPU,
peripherals) on specific Intel/AMD x86 and ARM targets, which
then starts a bootloader for your operating system. Linux/BSD are
well-supported. It replaces proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware. Help is available
via #canoeboot IRC
on Libera IRC.
Canoeboot is maintained in parallel with Libreboot, by the same developer. Strictly speaking, it is a fork of Libreboot, but with a twist:
Canoeboot is provided for the purists who absolutely wish to have no proprietary software of any kind. Regardless of any other firmware that exists outside of it, the boot flash on your system will be entirely free software if you install Canoeboot on it. That includes a complete lack of CPU microcode updates.
This policy is described here: https://canoeboot.org/news/policy.html
Project goals
- Obviously, support as much hardware as possible (within the limitations imposed by our policy) and using what coreboot happens to have in its source tree - Canoeboot also heavily patches coreboot, sometimes adding new mainboards out-of-tree).
- Make coreboot easy to use. Coreboot is notoriously difficult to install, due to an overall lack of user-focused documentation and support. Most people will simply give up before attempting to install coreboot. Canoeboot's automated build system and user-friendly installation instructions solves this problem.
Canoeboot attempts to bridge this divide by providing a build system automating much of the coreboot image creation and customization. Secondly, the project produces documentation aimed at non-technical users. Thirdly, the project attempts to provide excellent user support via IRC.
Canoeboot already comes with a payload (GRUB), flashprog and other needed parts. Everything is fully integrated, in a way where most of the complicated steps that are otherwise required, are instead done for the user in advance.
You can download ROM images for your canoeboot system and install them without having to build anything from source. If, however, you are interested in building your own image, the build system makes it relatively easy to do so.
Not a coreboot fork!
Canoeboot is not a fork of coreboot. Every so often, the project re-bases on the latest version of coreboot, by virtue of maintaining sync with Libreboot releases (minus unCanoe parts), with the number of custom patches in use minimized. Tested, stable (static) releases are then provided in Canoeboot, based on specific coreboot revisions.
