Use shell scripting in the recipe instead of GNU make's
conditional syntax. This allows the Makefile to work with
the default implementations of make on the BSDs.

Add FreeBSD to the README as it is now supported. Make a note about
using gmake instead of make as the makefile currently uses GNU
extensions to determine build flags based on the OS.

it should be marked unstable, though these machines
are basically reliable; they have certain missing features
and quirky behaviour so it's important not to over-sell it
mark it as unstable, on all of the dell latitudes

The pio.h header, although present on NetBSD, is not necessary, as it
only declares x86 port IO inx()/outx() functions which are not actually
implemented.

This is useful on desktops, where you want GRUB to
automatically start, but you still want access to the
GRUB menu, in the case where you rely on SeaBIOS to
execute the VGA ROM inside your graphics card.

export LBMK_THREADS=x
where x is an integer. this is already supported for
setting the number of build threads, but if not set
it uses nproc.
openbsd doesn't have nproc. default to 1 thread.
now you MUST set threads. e.g. in linux do:
export LBMK_THREADS=$(nproc)
preliminary work is being done to make lbmk run
on openbsd!

set to release="n" for now until the eDP targets
are fixed.
the regular non-eDP targets are stable, and will be
released.

some latitudes still used the old style for variables
in target.cfg, specifically arch="x86_64" - lbmk used to
then check that on a big if/else and translate it to the
correct target name for crossgcc, e.g. i386-elf, arm-eabi
now it just puts the arch directly, in a new variable:
xarch
change arch="x86_64" to xarch="i386-elf" in these files.
also remove a few obsolete variables. should build now.

github is unreliable. i host these files myself.
coreboot uses intel.com again now in the latest revisions, and
intel broke it before. i'm going to start backing up the acpica
releases onto my rsync server from now on, and keep patching
coreboot to use my files.

just to ensure that nothing goes wrong. we don't rely on
the status variable for releases, because there is another
variable, release, that target.cfg files declare, e.g.
release="n"
release="y"
you can just omit the variable, because it defaults to y, so
you only need declare it when it needs to be "n"

export LBMK_STATUS=n
if not set, the status checks and confirmation dialogs
persist. if set to y they persist.
if you set it to n, all checks are disabled, so e.g.:
./build roms all
this would once again build all targets, regardless
of status. this is if you want the old behaviour.

raminit has never been fully reliable on this board, and so
this board has never been stable. so, now that lbmk specifies
such status per board, mark these boards as such.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
for example:
./build roms list
this will list every now, still. same behaviour. now see:
./build roms list stable
this will list all stable roms
./build roms list untested
this lists untested roms. but wait!
./build roms list untested broken unstable
./build roms list broken unstable
yes. it works this way. now you can use lbmk to easily
see what rom status are, during maintenance.

export LBMK_VERSION_TYPE=x
x can be: stable, unstable
in target.cfg files, specify:
status=x
x can be: stable, unstable, broken, untested
if unset, lbmk defaults to "unknown"
if LBMK_VERSION_TYPE is set, no confirmation is asked
if the given target matches what's set (but what's set
in that environmental variable can only be stable or
unstable)
if LBMK_RELEASE="y", no confirmation is asked, unless
the target is something other than stable/unstable
"unstable" means it works, but has a few non-breaking
bugs, e.g. broken s3 on dell e6400
whereas, if raminit regularly fails or it is so absolutely
unreliable as to be unusable, then the board should be
declared "broken"
untested means: it has not been tested
With this change, it should now be easier to track whether
a given board is tested, in preparation for releases. When
working on trees/boards, status can be set for targets.
Also: in the board directory, you can add a "warn.txt" file
which will display a message. For example, if a board has a
particular quirk to watch out for, write that there. The message
will be printed during the build process, to stdout.
If status is anything *other* than stable, or it is unstable
but LBMK_VERSION_TYPE is not set to "unstable", and not building
a release, a confirmation is passed.
If the board is not specified as stable or unstable, during
a release build, the build is skipped and the ROM is not
provided in that release; this is in *addition* to
release="n" or release="y" that can be set in target.cfg,
which will skip the release build for that target if "n"

On T60 with Libreboot 20231106 and the GRUB payload, a user
reported this error in GRUB when a battery was connected:
"alloc magic is broken at 0x7b1aedf0: 0"
This error disappears when a battery is not connected, or
when using Libreboot 20230625. The issue has persisted
through to LIbreboot 20240225 and after, and I believe the
issue will be somewhere in coreboot, not in GRUB itself.
For now, switch i945 laptops (X60, T60, Macbook2,1) back to
the February 2023 coreboot revision used in Libreboot 20230625.
A bisect can be done before the next Libreboot release, ETA
May 2024, if time permits. Otherwise, this revert should solve
the problem for now, at least so far as Libreboot is concerned.
The following coreboot patches have been backported:
commit 29030d0f3dad2ec6b86000dfe2c8e951ae80bf94
Author: Bill Xie <persmule@hardenedlinux.org>
Date: Sat Oct 7 01:32:51 2023 +0800
drivers/pc80/rtc/option.c: Stop resetting CMOS during s3 resume
Further patches from upstream:
commit 432e92688eca0e85cbaebca3232f65936b305a98
Author: Bill Xie <persmule@hardenedlinux.org>
Date: Fri Nov 3 12:34:01 2023 +0800
drivers/pc80/rtc/option.c: Reset only CMOS range covered by checksum
These patches fixed S3 on GM45 machines, though it will be useful on
the i945 machines aswell.
The reason I'm doing it this way it is because I don't have a battery
for my X60 or T60, and my T60 isn't in a very good state either,
so I can't reproduce the error myself yet.

LC_COLLATE and LBMK_RELEASE are important variables. we want
to make sure that these are seen by everything.
since err.sh is included from all scripts, doing it there will
accomplish just that.
