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.

In order for the EC to maintain the state of whether or not to set the
flash descriptor override across a power cycle, the AC adapter must be
connected, as the system leaves the voltage rail that the EC uses
powered under this condition. Without this, the utility may fail,
continually asking the user to power off and on.
On Linux, CONFIG_X86_IOPL_IOPERM must be set for the kernel, or else the
iopl call will error with "Function not implemented". Make a note of
this in case a user runs into this issue.

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)

the directory is checked for deletion, but it's already
checked before download, to see whether it already exists.
lbmk already exits with zero status if the directory exists,
so the check is pointless (in this function)
also, general code style/formatting cleanup

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.

Most notable in the above log, that are beneficial to Libreboot
users, are:
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 -
several other of the changes here are beneficial for BSD aswell, all
or most of them by Vladimir Serbinenko

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.

this is now used in grub, for the FS_PAYLOAD_MODULES
option in the make command
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
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
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

at present, the bootstrap and configure script is only
directly executed for grub, because grub is the only
project that uses them in lbmk
however, when i start adding linuxboot support, i will
have to start building a lot of projects, some of which
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

the script can now also handle autoconf build systems,
whereas this could previously only be done for grub.
with this change, the overall sloccount is also lower

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

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.

riku committed a new patch, that fixes build errors

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.
