Leah Rowe 8e2e9735fe add vga-only 9020 config
on a dgpu setup, igpu was still in use, when tested
by a user. do separate roms that don't enable anything
vga in coreboot, relying instead only on seabios to
execute a vga rom. these roms will only work if you
have a graphics card.

Leah Rowe dfad11f350 NEW BOARD: Dell OptiPlex 9020 MT (and 7020 MT)
Specifically the MT versions. The SFF versions will
be added separately, in a later commit.

See: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/55232
This patch has been added, from patchset 31. It still
has some unresolved issues, on that patchset, but
it should boot. See commit message there.

Of note: I've enabled PCI REBAR, though it's unknown
whether it will work (some comments there about it though,
on that gerrit page).

I've also set CBFS size to 8MB, not the full size of
the BIOS region; this is required on the T440p which
uses the same mrc.bin file, to get S3 working.

TSEG stage cache disabled, as on other Haswell boards.

The setup: SeaBIOS-only as first payload, but with GRUB
enabled as secondary payload. The _grubonly setup has
been enabled here. This way, the config will work on
iGPU and dGPU setups without issue.

Leah Rowe b2d8e1184d import dell optiplex 7020/9020 patch from gerrit
coreboot gerrit patch 55232, patchset 31

the actual board will be enabled in a follow-up patch.
merging the patch on its own first is better practise,
to run ./update trees -u coreboot

this way, there won't be a revision that breaks builds,
due to the idiosyncratic nature of coreboot configuration.

Leah Rowe 0c8fa2011a update pico-serprog to Riku's new revision
Riku introduced three new patches:

* Add support for multiple chip selects. This allows you to
  control multiple chips from the same clip, on systems with
  dual flash setups, at least theoretically.
* Enable pull-up on unused chip selects - pull them high so
  that chips you connect that to are deactivated while flashing
  the target chip. This could be used on thinkpad W541 for
  instance, where miso/mosi have 0ohm between them via the two
  flash ICs. You could pull the other chip select high.
* Documentation for the above, in the pico-serprog readme.

This goes in tandem with a patch from Riku, present in the
recently integrated flashprog project, namely:

commit ddb6d926783d4f9cbee04c7392718ed8f89daa0e
Author: Riku Viitanen <riku.viitanen@protonmail.com>

Leah Rowe af82d67183 config/git: use flashprog instead of flashrom
Nico Huber is the rightful project lead. I do not support
the coup that occured within the flashrom project. Nico
has always been of great service to the Libreboot project,
by virtue of his work on both coreboot and flashrom.

Nico Huber was unfairly removed from the flashrom project
infrastructure, due to unfounded accusations hurled at him
by flashrom's new project lead. The accusations are unfounded
because no evidence was given.

Use Nico Huber's fork, named flashprog. We will work with
flashprog from now on.

Leah Rowe 0a24b2e612 dell/e6*30: use generic PS2K/PS2M EISAID strings
CONFIG_PS2M_EISAID. this is a a string used for the
identifier on the mouse, in ACPI.

CONFIG_PS2K_EISAID this is used for the keyboard.

IASL comes back with this build error:

dsdt.asl   1884:   Name(_HID, EISAID("DLLK0534"))
Error    6045 -                              ^ EISAID string must be of the form "UUUXXXX" (3 uppercase, 4 hex digits) (DLLK0534)

Change DLLK0534 back to PNP0303 and
change DLL0534 back to PNP0F13. These are generic identifiers
for PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Any generic driver will work with
the onboard mouse/keyboard on these machines. They do not need
to be changed. These are the default values anyway. Just leave
them explicitly defined to the default values, for now; if these
options are not set, coreboot will default to these values.

This shouldn't break anything for the users. I've reported this
to Nicholas Chin, author of those patches. Libreboot imported
the new versions of E6430/E6530 board patches in the coreboot
revision update, but the new (technically correct) values broke
IASL, so I've decided to use the old values for now.

Leah Rowe 37817e6bcb GRUB: insert only 1 keymap per board, in cbfs
There is no need to add multiple keymap files, because
GRUB can load keymaps from CBFS. The current build logic
is designed to avoid building multiple GRUB binaries,
which are expensive computationally because each one
would then have to be compressed for each board.

This patch provides the best of both worlds: less space
used in flash like in the old lbmk design (1 keymap per
board), but retaining the current build speeds and therefore
not re-introducing the slowness of lbmk's previous GRUB
build logic.

The grub.cfg file has been modified, accordingly. It now
only loads a keymap.gkb file from CBFS, by default. It does
this, only if that file exists; if not, GRUB already defaults
to US Qwerty layout anyway.

ALSO: compress all keymap gkb files with xz -6

GRUB automatically decompresses files when accessed.
This results in about 2KB of flash space saved in CBFS.

Here is real-world data, showing the increased flash space:

< fallback/payload               0x3eb80    simple elf     548821 none
< keymap.cfg                     0xc4bc0    raw                16 none
< (empty)                        0xc4c00    null         11633316 none
---
> fallback/payload               0x3eb80    simple elf     546787 none
> keymap.gkb                     0xc43c0    raw               344 none
> (empty)                        0xc4540    null         11635044 none

This was taken by diffing the cbfstool "print" output,
both before and after. The *after* result is with this change.
11633316. In this example, 1728 bytes have been saved. Therefore,
with compression taken into account, this patch saves about 1.7KB
of space in CBFS.

This change means that lbmk can now scale to support hundreds
of keymaps, without increasing the amount of flash space used,
in each given image. Since the keymap files are compressed in
lbmk.git, in advance, we spend no additional time on compression
at build time. The resulting change in build speed in negligible.

Adding your own keymap.gkb file was already possible, for changing
the keymap in libreboot images, if you didn't want to change the
memdisk (and thus re-compile grub.elf). Now, this is the default
behaviour, and the only way to do it. It's much more efficient.

The original keymap files can be restored, by running unxz.

Leah Rowe 401c0882aa NEW MAINBOARD: HP EliteBook 820 G2
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

Leah Rowe c6a0e4952e update/trees: generic cmake handling
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

make use autoconf and bootstrap scripts

e.g.

./bootstrap --foo
./configure --bar

the "bootstrap" script is often used on GNU programs,
because they like to over-engineer absolutely everything

Leah Rowe eff9130b7a update/trees: further simplify crossgcc handling
arch no longer needs to be set, on multi-tree projects,
and it has been renamed to xarch

the new behaviour is: if xarch is set, treat it as a
list of crossgcc targets and go through the list. set
the first one as the target, for what lbmk builds, but
build all of the defined crossgccc targets

crossgcc_ada is now xlang, and defines which languages
to build, rather than whether to build gcc-gnat

Leah Rowe 6752780f46 coreboot: update hp elitebook configs
i had to run make-oldconfig on all of them, because
of the port that riku added the other day. lbmk doesn't
use defconfigs, it uses full configs, so we have to
make sure they're kept in sync

this patch is the result of running the following command
in a fresh clone of lbmk:

./update trees -u coreboot

i should probably switch to defconfigs.

Leah Rowe 25f9d9480f git/pico-serprog: update revision again
riku committed a new patch, that fixes build errors
when PICO_DEFAULT_LED_PIN is not defined, on a given
board. in such cases, riku's new patch just disables
handling of the status LED, but LEDs continue to work
on boards where it is defined.

Leah Rowe e0fee7a437 git/pico-serprog: update revision
the new revision sets drive level to 12mA instead
of the default 4mA. 16-20mA is the maximum tolerated
level for data lines, on most flash ICs, so 12mA is
relatively safe.

riku did this a while ago, tested on pico pi.

Leah Rowe d5f8f6572e dell/e6400nvidia_4mb: new configuration (nvidia)
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
executing the vga option rom.

Leah Rowe f44b99c808 don't delete microcode updates in rom images
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.

Leah Rowe 92986f0c42 build/roms: remove modify_coreboot_rom()
don't handle "romtype" at all, in board target.cfg files

add /dev/null as pike2008 rom on amd boards. this serves
the same purpose, adding them as empty vga roms, to add
an empty rom in cbfs. pike2008 cards cause seabios to hang,
when their oproms are executed, so we insert a fake rom

on i945 thinkpads, use the coreboot config option:
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK

when set, this enables the same bootblock copy, for use
with bucts. these two cases, namely pike2008 roms and
i945 bootblock copies, no longer need to be handled in code
