lbmk otherwise uses nproc to set the number of build threads,
in these places:
* generic make commands in script/update/trees
* crossgcc make command in script/update/trees
the -T0 option is also used in script/update/release, when running
tar.
with this change, you can do:
export LBMK_THREADS=x
where x is the number of threads. when you then run
lbmk, your chosen number of threads will override
the default. this may be useful on a host that does
not have a lot of memory.

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.

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.

this part of the code *must* return. the for loop
afterwards must not be permitted to execute.
it's unlikely that this would ever occur, unless
perhaps the user is using a very buggy sh.

it wasn't being copied right
the roms under elf/ were being copied, but not the ones
under bin/ - i need to audit it further
for now, i run modify_coreboot_roms from build/roms
instead of update/trees
so, the ones under elf/ no longer have bootblocks copied.
it's only done in bin/

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 some cases, use of x_ or xx_ can be error-prone,
due to the way $@ is handled; commands requiring
quotes, or with funny file names as arguments such
as spaces in the file name, or other special
characters, can make the x/xx functions break.
in those cases, where x/xx must not be used, the
commands use || err instead
in other cases, use of x/xx is superfluous, and has
been removed in some commands.

as opposed to the current 3-level structure.
recent build system simplifications have enabled
this change, thus:
./build fw coreboot -> ./build roms
./build fw grub -> ./build grub
./build fw serprog -> ./build serprog
./update project release -> ./update release
./update project trees -> ./update trees
./update vendor download -> ./vendor download
./update vendor inject -> ./vendor inject
alper criticised that the commands were too long,
so i made them shorter!

Just one script.
Just one!
Well, two, but the 2nd one already existed:
logic in update/project/trees and
update/project/repo was merged into
include/git.sh and update/project/build
was renamed to update/project/trees; an -f
option was added, which calls the functions
under git.sh
so git clones are now handled by the main build
script (for handling makefiles and defconfigs)
but the logic there is a stub, where git.sh
does all the actual heavy lifting
this cuts the file count down by two, and reduces
sloccount a reasonable amount because much of
the logic already exists in the build script, when
it comes to handling targets. git.sh was adjusted
to integrate with this, rather than act standalone

errors are not defined for mktemp, and the /tmp file
system should be assumed reliable.
if /tmp is *unreliable*, then this is not something that
lbmk either can or should fix; the user clearly has
bigger problems.
manpages for mktemp do not define errors. it is assumed
to be completely reliable.

Instead of having detailed error messages, run most
commands through a function that calls err() under
fault conditions.
Where detail is still required, err() is still called
manually. Where it isn't, the error message is simply
whatever command was executed to cause the error.
This results in a massive sloccount reduction for lbmk;
specifically, 178 sloc reduction, or a 8.1% reduction.
The total sloccount is now 2022, for shell scripts.

update/blobs/download and update/project/repo both use
the same logic, for setting variables with awk and a
specially formatted configuration file.
unify this logic under include/option.sh, and use that.
