when downloading multi-tree projects, the rev can be reset
to HEAD instead of the actual rev for a given target. this
occurs when the bare repo (e.g. src/coreboot/coreboot) does
not exist and has to be downloaded first.
bare repository downloading does not rely on target.cfg, in
this context, only pkg.cfg, but it uses the same variable
names (e.g. "rev").
instead of using a separate variable name, thus increasing
code complexity (which is the exact opposite of what i want
to do), do the bare repository download first.
this means that the git.sh script is much cleaner now, for
multi-tree projects, in that it *only* copies the bare repo
then runs git_prep; in that context, the bare repo is cloned
directly by calling the relevant function from script/trees,
which is the same behaviour as when cloning single-tree
project sources.

the same function that loads configurations for single-tree
projects has been merged with the function for multi-tree
configs in git.sh, and that functionality has been removed
from git.sh; now it is all unified in the trees script.
as the saying goes: write one program to do one thing well.
the purpose of git.sh is to download source code, but not
to handle configuration files; the latter is meant to be
handled by the trees script, which then calls into git.sh
before running the build logic for that given project.
additionally: the "seen" files are no longer handled, at all.
the logic there was added ages ago, because at the time, i was
considering whether to separate configuration into a new
repository, so that users could more easily make their own
configuration, so it was a guard against misconfiguration.
however, that decision was canceled and we're always very
careful not to introduce a loop; if a loop does occur, the
worst that can possibly happen is you waste some CPU cycles.
Instead, print (on standard output) what config file is being
used, so the operator can see when an infinite loop occurs.
ALSO:
remove _setcfgarg in load_project_config()
it was used to skip when a target.cfg file didn't exist,
specifically on single-tree projects, but this is now
handled using -f instead, on the while loop inside that
function, so _setcfgarg is now a redundant variable.

these variables are initialised empty, then populated
by reading a configuration file.
it may be that in some cases, we want these variables
to be empty. besides that, the "setcfg" command before
it will throw an error if the module file is missing,
and it is assumed that the variables would be set there.

the current check is flawed, because if u-boot doesn't
exist, but a given build would be the file verified by
the first check, the check would still fail even after
then building u-boot.
building it first will make this check pass, under such
a condition.

instead, make it a helper function, defined in target.cfg
this means that we can also do the same with other projects
in the future, and it is expected that we will have to.
these helper functions are used in cases where we want
additional actions to be performed.
actually, the helper could be anything. for example, you
could write:
mkhelper="./build foo bar"
and it would do that (at the point of execution, PWD
is the root directory of the build system)

the script used to support building multiple single-tree
projects, but this behaviour was buggy and unused, so it
was removed.
rename the build_projects variable accordingly.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
it was always by design that an error should occur, if a
target.cfg file does not exist on multi-tree projects,
but we previously did not support target.cfg files on
single-tree projects.
single-tree target.cfg support was later added, and it was
done by making target.cfg optional there, but i accidentally
made it optional on multi-tree projects.
in practise, all multi-tree projects included target.cfg,
but this was not being enforced in code.
this patch should fix the issue.

set it to "auto", because otherwise it'll be unset,
which means that kconfig type is assumed.
the build system is designed in such a way that multi-tree
is assumed, if the target build system uses kconfig files.
target.cfg is optional on single-tree but not multi-tree,
so it's ok to set something here.
basically, kconfig-type projects will never be single-tree.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
don't hardcode the check based on whether the current
project is grub. instead, define "btype" in target.cfg
if unset, we assume kconfig and permit kconfig commands
e.g. make menuconfig, make silentoldconfig, etc
this is to avoid the deadliest of sins:
project-specific hacks

the current logic for handling multiple single-tree projects
is quite error-prone, and uses recursion.
since we don't actually use it this way, remove that feature.
the most correct way to do it is with a for loop.

doing nothing means that if a flag is passed, and then
another flag overriding it, the resulting action will
not be correct; only one flag should be provided anyway,
but some users may feel a bit more adventurous.

otherwise, release=n is ignored and an image is built in

avoid doing unnecessary work per-release by checking the
variables before building coreboot via script/trees
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
we don't need this message here, because the final confirmation
at the end of main() says which targets were built. saying what
individual rom images were built is just needless bloat,
especially with the new simplified lbmk design; we no longer
provide lots of rom images with different keymaps, because we
now expect the user to insert a gkb file themselves with cbfstool.

because we use crossgcc here, blindly running trees -f
means needlessly re-running buildgcc, which then checks
for gcc binaries, even though we already know that the
u-boot binary exists. skip this check if u-boot exists.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
we're building it per coreboot configuration file, rather
than per-target; the latter is more appropriate, and saves
on compilation time.
do it per-target.cfg, not per coreboot configuration.
this works because the trees script compiles all images
per target, for each given coreboot configuration within
that target, e.g. libgfxinit _corebootfb and _txtmode.

sometimes buildgcc just fails for like no reason. we had this
the other day and another fix was made to the trees script, to
mitigate; the user ran it again and buildgcc worked just fine.
run it twice, and then call err only if the second one fails.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
just run the make crossgcc command anyway.
coreboot's own build system checks itself, and much
more reliably, but the check is more thorough and a bit
slower.
in rare cases, lbmk may come into build issues with xgcc,
and if you run the build again, it will always fail every
time because the checks is based on whether the xgcc
directory exists, rather than checking each
individual crossgcc binary.
checking every binary is also possible, but as i said,
the coreboot build system already does that, so let's defer
to coreboot's own handling of it.
remove the directory check. this will slow down the build
process a little bit, but should improve reliability under
fault conditions.

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.
