MRC caches in a certain way, that Heads was able to work
around in their build system, for this board.
I've adapted the relevant config differences, from their project
as of heads revision 96440b928acb06de5b925ea12014c9c280b23165
The downside is that CBFS now has to be 8MB in size. The upside
is that the machine also boots much faster
See:
f0792117efhttps://github.com/osresearch/heads/pull/1282#issuecomment-1400634600
I have not adapted their IFD changes, versus Libreboot, because theirs
simply has a different version string, and uses different read/write
permission bits for regions as defined in the IFD.
This affects:
t440p_12mb_mrc
w541_12mb_mrc
S3 suspend/resume still broken on these targets which use the libre
MRC init (replacement code by Angel Pons, recently merged in lbmk):
t440p_12mb
w541_12mb
With clever use of FMAP, the rest of the BIOS region might still be
used. However, for our purposes, 8MB CBFS will do just fine.
Heads's changes configure MRC so that caching is handled properly,
for when the machine returns from sleep. Setting CBFS to be any
higher will result in slower boot times, and broken S3 resume, due
to MRC cache misalignment (this is based on my understanding, reading
through the Heads project looking at their research on this).
At some point in the future, Angel's libre MRC code will probably
be finished, and merged, with more fine tuning possible to allow
bigger CBFS sizes.
libre mrc on haswell is quite buggy for now, but works in
a limited fashion
this patch re-adds the old configs, but as _mrc for example
t440p_12mb_mrc instead of t440p_12mb
and t440p_12mb (without _mrc) still uses the libre mrc code
i found that with libre mrc, usb was broken in grub
however, it worked nicely in seabios
for our purposes, doing seabios-only roms in text mode
is best for now
i'm going to re-add mrc.bin, but for t440p_12mb_mrc
and w541_12mb_mrc, as new config names. the regular
t440p_12mb and w541_12mb will continue to use libre
mrc, but the _mrc ones will use mrc.bin and retain the
grub payload in board.cfg

this uses the following patch set from gerrit, as yet
unmerged (in coreboot master) on this date:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/64198/5
logic for downloading mrc blobs has been deleted from
lbmk, as this is now completely obsolete (for haswell
boards)
if other platforms are added later that need mrc.bin,
then logic will be re-added again for that
this fixes the build error:
Error: name not set
Usage: ./download gitmodule [name]
when running:
./download all
running "all" runs all scripts under downloads,
one of which was the gitmodule script itself, therefore
being run without argument
some checks check for specific utils, which are
then used to indicate the existence of other utils,
which means that building them singularly, as is
currently done, may result in errors later if another
tool doesn't exist compiled yet
this is an obscure bug, fixed by this patch. more of a
workaround really. a dirty hack. when checking for any
of the coreboot utilities required, build all coreboot
utilities that are possibly required
the utilities are small enough that this does not add
much extra time to build, and in most cases, all of them
will be needed anyway
U-Boot can be configured via environment variables which can be saved to
various storage devices. This usually defaults to MMC or SPI depending
on where it boots from, but assumes the device's layout is controlled by
U-Boot.
We should store the environment in SPI flash, but we also need to
configure coreboot FMAPs to reserve the area U-Boot would use as its
environment storage. For now, disable environment storage by setting
ENV_IS_NOWHERE=y to avoid overwriting random regions of SPI or MMC if
someone tries to save the variables.

Set default U-Boot revision to v2023.01 and rebase patches on top of
that. Upstream kconfig status is a bit unstable, so updating configs
with `make oldconfig` would miss important upstream changes.
For each board, run `make savedefconfig` and `diffconfig -m` at the old
version to get a diff from upstream defconfigs. Fix those affected by
upstream changes, like SYS_TEXT_BASE being renamed to TEXT_BASE. Then
append those to the new version's defconfigs and run `make olddefconfig`
to get updated configs.

The USB 2.0 ports on Exynos boards need the relevant driver enabled by
USB_EHCI_EXYNOS. This is enabled by default depending on USB_EHCI_HCD.
It's already enabled on snow and spring, but apparently not on peach
boards, as discovered from other people's attempts to enable it [1][2].
Enable it also on the peach_pi and peach_pit.

The display driver on the veyron boards needs reset drivers, more
specifically RESET_ROCKCHIP. This is enabled by default depending on
DM_RESET, which an upstream commit enables for veyron_jerry claiming it
fixes the display [1]. Enable it also in our configs, but for other
veyrons as well.

By making lbmk fully POSIX-compliant, it will be easier to port lbmk to
other systems implementing POSIX such as Alpine Linux and FreeBSD.

The configs were enabling SeaBIOS payload, but this is to be
handled by lbmk, not coreboot.
Further, they were enabling VGA ROM execution in coreboot, but
this should be handled by SeaBIOS.
This board should not have a GRUB payload enabled either; this
will be checked and fixed if necessary in the next commit.
Add U-Boot to the source release script's modules list so that it is
included in source release tarballs. Don't include the unused upstream
source and .git directories.

Copy the resources/scripts/build/clean/crossgcc script and adapt it to
run "make distclean" on U-Boot build trees. Some build artifacts persist
after the run, so also run "git clean -fdx" if we can.

U-Boot build dependencies are listed on their online documentation [1],
but the listed Debian packages also include test-only dependencies.
While installing dependencies, install the packages necessary to build
U-Boot, except for the test-only ones I could identify.

Add a build for QEMU AArch64 virtual machine using U-Boot as payload.
Coreboot config is based on the following defconfig:
CONFIG_CBFS_SIZE=0x00c00000
CONFIG_BOARD_EMULATION_QEMU_AARCH64=y
CONFIG_CONSOLE_CBMEM_BUFFER_SIZE=0x20000
CONFIG_COREBOOT_ROMSIZE_KB_12288=y
CONFIG_UART_PCI_ADDR=0x0
The resulting ROM can be booted with a command line like:
qemu-system-aarch64 \
-machine virt,secure=on,virtualization=on \
-cpu cortex-a53 -m 1G \
-vga none -display none -serial stdio \
-bios bin/qemu_arm64_12mb/uboot_*.rom
However, this is little more than a proof of concept because U-Boot
upstream is missing coreboot integration on non-x86 boards, which could
have been useful for e.g. a framebuffer.

Add a U-Boot payload build for the QEMU AArch64 virtual machine. The
config is same as upstream "qemu-arm64" defconfig, but SYS_TEXT_BASE is
set to 0x50000000 so that it doesn't conflict with coreboot. QEMU
auto-generates and passes a device-tree file to U-Boot at runtime,
there's no compile-time canonical version, so there's no need to set
REMAKE_ELF or OF_EMBED.
It's not immediately obvious if QEMU-specific drivers are available to
support display output, but most coreboot integration is unavailable
(depends on x86) and entire video subsystem is disabled in the U-Boot
upstream defconfig.

U-Boot runtime configuration is done with a device-tree file, which is
built alongside the executable in the upstream build system, and must be
available to U-Boot at runtime.
This device-tree is normally not linked into the default "u-boot" ELF
file. So far we have been handling it by re-creating a "u-boot.elf" from
the raw binary parts by setting REMAKE_ELF, and using that as the
coreboot payload. Unfortunately, that fails to build for x86 boards,
more specificly the "coreboot" boards upstream.
It's also possible (but discouraged) to set OF_EMBED to embed the
device-tree file into the U-Boot itself, in which case we could use the
"u-boot" file as the payload on the "coreboot" boards. Add support for
using the "u-boot" file as the payload if "u-boot.elf" doesn't exist.
