whitelist what modules are downloaded, by adding
module.list files in the corresponding directories
under config/submodule/, per each coreboot tree.
this is making use of functionality added in the
previous commit.

in each submodule configuration directory, a module.cfg
file can now be provided. in it, the user can specify
two repository links (main and backup) and a revision, like
so:
subrepo="repo link goes here"
subrepo_bkup="backup repo link goes here"
subrev="git revision id goes here"
additionally:
in the *main* project directory for the submodules,
a module.list file can be provided. example entries:
3rdparty/vboot
3rdparty/libgfxinit
if the module.list file is provided, only those submodules
will be downloaded. this can be combined with the module.cfg
files, if you wish, but it's optional. you can mix and match.
example locations:
multi-tree project:
config/submodule/coreboot/default/module.list
config/submodule/coreboot/default/vboot/module.cfg
single-tree project:
config/submodule/flashprog/module.list
config/submodule/flashprog/foo/module.cfg
*no* configuration files have been provided, in this commit,
which means that the current behaviour is maintained.
follow-up commits will absolutely configure the submodules.
this is being done to reduce the number of modules downloaded,
because we don't use most of the coreboot submodules that are
downloaded, thus wasting bandwidth and the releases are also
much bigger than necessary.

following on from the previous commit, if you run
something like "./build roms list" when running for
the first time from a codeberg tarball, the output
of the git commands will be included in the output
hide this output

a user was getting error "version unset" when using the
tarball generated from codeberg. it's recommended to use
the git repository properly, or a release archive.
mitigate this so that the build succeeds anyway.

again, the directory in question is simply used
in a for loop using asterisk (git_am_patches) and
the for loop simply won't iterate if either the
directory doesn't exist or it contains no items.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
in the function that immediately follows, it
starts two for loops that check every item in
that directory, using the asterisk wildcard.
if the directory does not exist, then the for
loop will simply break on first pass.

we want ./update release to work in release archives.
under the current logic, CHANGELOG would be cloned into
release/, thus breaking ./update trees -f

firstly, memtest86+ is currently not cross compiled and
relies on 64-bit headers (x86_64 only). a 32-bit distro
is unlikely to be able to build 64-bit binaries.
secondly: vboot throws a build error due to -Werror when
building on 32-bit hosts. we rely on vboot code to build
cbfstool, so turn off -Werror on vboot
that's all. 32-bit hosts are not recommended; it is assumed
that you are building on an x86_64 host. work will go into
the build system at a later date to make it more portable,
by cross compiling everything, but this should fix 32-bit
for now.
there are some x60/t60 users who still want to build roms,
so let's allow them that possibility.

"./update project trees" is a leftover from the
old build system design, prior to audits.
this particular call is for when xtree is defined,
which means that a given tree must rely on the given
coreboot tree defined by xtree. the "xtree" tree is
downloaded, so that its crossgcc builds can be re-used
to save time when building targets across many trees.
this is because trees often use identical crossgcc builds.

The E6400 uses a 100 MHz reference clock on DPLL_REF_SSCLK, whereas
libgfxinit assumed that the reference was always 96 MHz. The frequency
difference caused by a 100 MHz reference with PLL config values
calculated assuming a 96 MHz reference were not significant enough to
cause noticable issues with the more common 1280 x 800 panels, but are
enough to matter for the 1440 x 900 panels which use a higher pixel
clock. This only affected the pre-OS graphics environment provided by
libgfxinit, as Linux drivers would determine the reference clock
frequency based on data in the VBT.
Fix this by making the reference clock frequency in libgfxinit
configurable for GM45 based on a new coreboot Kconfig, which is set to
100 MHz for the E6400.

for single-tree project (e.g. flashprog):
config/submodule/PROJECT/MODNAME/patches
for multi-tree project (e.g. coreboot):
config/submodule/PROJECT/TREE/MODNAME/patches
MODNAME is e.g.:
3rdparty/vboot directory in coreboot: would become vboot
(the submodule codepath is filtered to up to the final slash)
another example:
submodire src dir 3rdparty/foo/bar
MODNAME would be "bar"
Add whatever patches you like to a given submodule.
An example patch is included in this commit.

the function is very small and only called once,
from fetch_project_trees()
merge it into fetch_project_trees()
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
one of the calling functions relies on the return value
to be always 0, so these error conditions in mkrom_tarball
have been altered to cause an *exit* (non-zero) instead.
in practise, the commands in question were printf commands
run after tho directory they output to had been created,
so write access would probably not be an issue.
nonetheless, technically correct is the best kind of correct.

The build system already deletes .git in all source
directories for each given release, but does so at
the very end; it still does, but now it is deleted
one by one per project, to save space during very
large builds (release sizes vary wildly, depending
on how many trees exist for coreboot basically).
If you're building entirely in tmpfs (as I do), this
could be a problem if you have lots of .git/ directories.
This change reduces disk usage, or in the above example,
memory usage when running the build system from tmpfs.
This complements another recent change, where ROM images
are compressed per target during release builds, rather
than all at the very end of the process. It is part of a
series of optimisations, to reduce the memory and disk
usage of the build system, and to reduce I/O wastage
in general.
This change will not be the last of such changes!
