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.

aa7c13226 which improves XFS support (large extents), which is default
now on many setups.
ed74bc376 which introduces more stable timestamp generation when using
grub-mkstandalone. this is what lbmk uses to generate grub.elf, whereas
grub previously only implemented this fix on mkimage which we don't use
f18a899ab which ensures deterministic (reproducible) tar file creation
by sorting contents (file names / directories). this is done by sorting
the entries
f5905f656 which improves grub build system reliability on netbsd and
openbsd systems - useful for us because an ambition of lbmk is to port
the build system to run on bsd systems, and we will still want grub -

lbmk should generalise as much logic as possible. in
some parts of it, logic is hurrently hardcoded, specific
to a given project that lbmk uses, but lbmk is essentially
a source-based package manager, like what you might find
on a small linux distro, so we need to try to
be as generic as possible.
lbmk is the "build system of build systems", so it has to
work generically with as many of them as possible

it is no longer hardcoded just to be handled for uefiextract.
it is now defined as cmakedir in target.cfg, for a single or
multi tree project. if multi tree, it is applied to the specific
tree, and has to be defined per tree
the way it works is: as per cmakelist, a project will define
which directory is to be built, and it will then generate
a makefile in the main source tree (the build tree in cmake
language, where the main CMakeLists.txt file exists)
when the makefile has been generated, the project is then treated
like any other project. the way cmake works, if a makefile has
already been generated by it, in a given directory, running it
again will fail and not affect anything; if it fails but the
makefile doesn't exist, then something is wrong, but if the
makefile does exist, then it's all fine and nothing happens
at present, this is only used for uefiextract, which is part
of src/uefitool

the e6400_4mb target has libgfxinit and (if seabios) vgarom
initialisation, but has issues on the nvidia model, even when
using nomodeset. with this target, e6400nvidia_4mb, only
the vgarom initialisation is used, libgfxinit is disabled.
on nvidia models, this one should work a little bit better.
specifically: nouveau crashes on this machine, with libreboot
installed, but you can use nomodeset. however, when libgfxinit
is also enabled, nomodeset no longer works properly.
so this target disables all video initialisation in coreboot.
only seabios will initialise anything video-related, by

at present, lbmk can remove microcode updates on images for
a given target, if the target specifies
microcode_required="n" in target.cfg
lbmk then provides images with microcode, and images without,
in a given release. although the user can also remove them
manually, this just makes it a bit more convenient, for those
users who do wish to run without the updates. this functionality
is provided only on those platforms where no-microcode is tested.
well, this behaviour implements a compromise on libreboot policy,
which is to always include microcode updates by default. see:
Binary Blob Reduction Policy
the *canoeboot* project now exists, developed in parallel with
libreboot, and it ships without microcode updates, on the same
targets where lbmk also handled this.
running without microcode updates is foolish, and should not
be encouraged. clean up lbmk by not providing this kludge.
the libreboot documentation will be updated, telling such users
to try canoeboot instead, or to remove the update from a given
libreboot rom - this is still possible, and mitigations such as
PECI disablement on GM45 are still in place (and will be kept),
so that this continues to work well.

Fix a few issues with the E6430 configs to make it consistent with
configs for other boards and function as intended.
- Add VBT to CBFS: Although the VBT was enabled at the board level
Kconfig in a previous commit (CONFIG_INTEL_GMA_HAVE_VBT), the config
to actually add the VBT to CBFS was still unset.
- Enable the static option table: The old config would always use the
fallback values hard coded in the coreboot tree, rather than the
settings in the cmos.default file
- Enable DRAM clear on boot: This was not set previously, even though
most other boards set this for security.

to the old behaviour; it keeps the new universal
config, but changes the default
we know the old logic works, so keep that for now.
in fact, the offending patch was only merged to
main in coreboot, one day before i recently
updated coreboot revs in coreboot/default - i used
a 12 october revision, the patch above is 11 october
i then ran "./update trees -u coreboot" which updated
the heap sizes back to the old defaults. this should
fix s3 suspend/resume where it was broken, in the
libreboot 20231021 release - a point release with this
and a few other fixes is planned soon.

the logic for naming coreboot roms is based on whether
cpu_microcode_blob.bin would exist in cbfs, and whether
deletion was therefore successful.
lbmk was naming nomicrocode on fam15h roms on this basis,
but the microcode was being inserted as microcode_amd.bin
and microcode_amd_fam15h.bin
in the recent 20231021 release, the roms were exclusively
labeled _nomicrocode in the rom names, but they do in fact
contain microcode.
i'm fixing it by telling lbmk *not* to delete microcode.
if microcode_required is not set, or it's set to y, then
only roms *with* microcode updates are provided; even if
the rom doesn't actually contain it, lbmk will only label
it _nomicrocode if that setting is set to n.
i'm not bothering to add further complexity to the rom
handling logic, because canoeboot now exists anyway (at
website https://canoeboot.org/) which is my new version
re-implementing the older, inferior version of libreboot
so i'm going to:
1) document this as errata in the release
2) cross reference in the freedom status page
3) if someone still isn't happy, i'll say use canoeboot
job done.

Add a U-Boot build for the qemu_x86_12mb board. The config is a copy of
the upstream "coreboot" defconfig, but with OF_EMBED=y.

Add my upstream U-Boot series enabling video console support by default
for QEMU ARM virtual machines. Similarly, enable the related config
options for our builds using savedefconfig and olddefconfig.
The resulting ROM can be booted with a command line like:
qemu-system-aarch64 \
-machine virt,secure=on,virtualization=on \
-cpu cortex-a72 -m 1G \
-serial stdio -device VGA \
-device qemu-xhci \
-device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse \
-bios bin/qemu_arm64_12mb/*.rom

gru_bob fails to build without python-setuptools. this isn't a huge issue,
because most users probably have it already as many other python programs
depend on it too. that's probably why no one noticed until now,
when i tried to do this on a fresh artix install uncontaminated by python.
i also sorted and deduplicated the packages with 'sort -u'.
github's httpd b0rked the fuck out and i didn't want to wait
for them to fix it (ssl cert error) before i continued a build.
i now host the relevant acpica tarball on libreboot rsync,
mirrored to princeton.

it's not used by anywhere else in lbmk, but the release build
script will automatically download each project named as per
file names in config/git/
this is a stupidly simply way to prove documentation in
libreboot releases, and i've used current revisions corresponding
to the Libreboot 20231021 release, for this 20231021 release
of lbmk.
