in shell scripts, a function named the same as a program included in
the $PATH will override that program. for example, you could make a
function called ls() and this would override the standand "ls".
in lbmk, a part of it was first trying to run the "fail" command,
deferring to "err", because some scripts call fail() which does
some minor cleanup before calling err.
in most cases, fail() is not defined, and it's possible that the user
could have a program called "fail" in their $PATH, the behaviour of
which we could not determine, and it could have disastrous effects.
lbmk error handling has been re-engineered in such a way that the
err function is defined in a variable, which defaults to err_ which
calls err_, so defined under include/err.sh.
in functions that require cleanup prior to error handling, a fail()
function is still defined, and err is overridden, thus:
err="fail"
this change has made xx_() obsolete, so now only x_ is used. the x_
function is a wrapper that can be used to run a command and exit with
non-zero status (from lbmk) if the command fails. the xx_ command
did the same thing, but called fail() which would have called err();
now everything is $err
example:
rm -f "$filename" || err "could not delete file"
this would now be:
rm -f "$filename" || $err "could not delete file"
overriding of err= must be done *after* including err.sh. for
example:
err="fail"
. "include/err.sh"
^ this is wrong. instead, one must do:
. "include/err.sh"
err="fail"
this is because err is set as a global variable under err.sh
the new error handling is much cleaner, and safer. it also reduces
the chance of mistakes such as: calling err when you meant to
call fail. this is because the standard way is now to call $err,
so you set err="fail" at the top of the script and all is well.

a tree can specify:
tree_depend="treename"
this will make the other tree be downloaded. this is
used for coreboot trees, to ensure that dependency
trees are downloaded, because trees can now re-use
crossgcc from other trees.

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.

u-boot doesn't use submodules, so there's no point in
checking for it. now we can do with just one call to
the git submodule command, for simplicity
also, general code cleanup in this file (minor code
formatting improvements)

lbmk already exits with zero status if the directory exists,

the patchfail variable was only needed in the old design,
where git am was being handled inside a subshell, and
also when we did it directly in the target directory
without using a temporary directory. with the current
design, we can just call err() and ditch the tmp repo

there isn't really a problem right now, but a desired
and implemented behavioural change was that patches are
to be applied *before* updating submodules. well, the
previous commit reversed this change, under certain
conditions, such that submodules were applied first.
this patch fixes it, so that patches are done first.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
right now, if we want to patch a project such that certain
submodules are no tdownloaded, or diffreent submodules are
downloaded, or current ones are downloaded from other
locations, we cannot do this, because we apply submodule
updates *before* applying patches.
therefore, we should change it so that they are applied
*after* installing patches.

lbmk used to set version/versiondate directly in

the shellball (for extracting the coreboot rom, to get
at mrc.bin) contains lines that are not posix-friendly.
specifically, the "local" command is used, and this is
not defined for posix sh.
the shellball is essentially just a bunch of shell
functions that compress/decompress the zip file,
containing the firmware update. you can modify the
files and re-run the shellball to recompress, though
lbmk just uses the decompress function.
as pointed out by Nicholas Chin, it is possible to just
run "unzip" directly on the update, to get at bios.bin.
we don't really need all the extra checks performed by
the shellball, so let's just bypass it altogether.

update/trees wasn't correctly returning non-zero status,
even though it was printing an error message, when git-am
failed. this is due to the way subshells work, and it was
overlooked in previous auditing.
additionally: don't directly copy trees to the destination,
instead patch/reset first, then copy only under normal
condition, just as with single-tree projects.
when running build/roms, the script would continue after
a bad git-am, without exit. this patch fixes it in the
most paranoid way possible. i'm now fairly confident that
lbmk will fail gracefully and efficiently, under error
conditions. this should prevent bad image builds.

don't run it directly at the bottom of err.sh,
because otherwise the version and versiondate
files will be generated when running "./build
dependencies distroname" which would then create
these files, but as root because the user runs
that specific command as root.
the rest of lbmk, for any other command, prevents
use of the root account, so running check_project
during "./build dependencies distroname" will cause
the build system to fail (because as non-root user,
the user will run lbmk and it will try to update
those files, and fail because it can't, due to lack
of permissions)
this patch fixes the issue, by only generating those
files if the user is *not* root

keymaps weren't being set in keymay.cfg of cbfs, due
to use of x_ in the rom script, and x_ doesn't handle
quotes or spaces in arguments well.
i'm going to remove use of x_ and xx_ (it's in my todo),
for next release.
for now, hot patch the release. i've gone through and
replaced use of x_ with || err, in some places.
not just the keymap.cfg command, but others too. in case
there are more issues we missed.
this commit is being tagged "20231021fix" and i'm using
this tag to re-build the 20231021 release. i'll just
replace the tarballs in rsync and add errata to the news
page announcing the release. all i did was break peoples
umlauts, i didn't brick their machines fortunately!
very minor bug. anyway, x_/xx_ is a great idea, but sh
isn't really designed for that style of programming. i'll
go back to using just || err in the next release.

in release archives, .git is excluded but the version
and versiondate files are included. from these, the
git history is re-created with the exact date (but not
taking into account timezone, at present).
in this way, lbmk will have git history in a release
archive. some build systems, like coreboot, prefer that
there be git history available, so this is a nice
workaround on those build systems.
