it didn't work in the past, but it does work nowadays;
specifically, it only worked with libgfxinit in the past,
but not on VGA ROMs.
now it does work on VGA ROMs, tested on e6400 and t1650 so
it was enabled there.
in this setup, a special image is provided where SeaBIOS is
the main payload, but it only loads GRUB; nothing else, every.
this is called SeaGRUB. this setup is useful in cases where
the user only has a GPU that lacks libgfxinit support.

this is to ensure alphanumeric sorting, with
capital letters first; and numbers before letters.
we always relied on this, but until now lbmk would
just assume the host is configured this way.
this fixes a longstanding design flaw in lbmk.

Faulty keyboards make GRUB unusable. Normally it happens
when a user plugs in a faulty USB keyboard, but if it's
the laptop keyboard, then GRUB becomes unusable and the
user cannot boot anything.
So, your laptop keyboard is a ticking timebomb if you use
GRUB; with this patch, that's no longer the case.

My previous fix to revert didn't fix S3 on GM45, one
of the platforms reported fixed by 78263; I'm merging
that instead, at patch set 10.
It is referenced by 78815/1 which was split from it,
so merge that too (restores overrides of higher values,
on certain platforms that we don't use yet).

also, enable seabios_withgrub on e6400, but not grubfirst;
right now, we also support dgpu which would brick on
grubfirst. on my tested nvidia model, loading grub from
seabios worked, so i'm going to re-add seabios_grubfirst
functionality like in older libreboot revisions, enabled
selectively on a given target.
e6430 currently only has igpu support anyway, but i've done
the same thing there, in anticipation of future dgpu support.
e6400 and e6430 ec report scancode set 2 with translation
by default, but only actually output scancode set 1
grub is trying to use scancode set 2 without scancode
translation, so the key inputs get messed up
fix it by forcing scancode set 2 with translation, but
only on coreboot; other build targets on GRUB will
retain the same behaviour as before
courtesy goes to Nicholas Chin who inspired me, and
helped me to fix this. tested on Nicholas's E6400
and E6430, and my E6400; Riku also tested it on
non-Dell, as did I (some thinkpads), and all seems OK.
The new behaviour in coreboot GRUB is essentially no
different to that of SeaBIOS, which does the same.

the patch included in this revision is pulled from:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/54024/2
contrary to hell's assertion of "not for merge", this does
in fact work nicely on a dell e6400; nicholas chin tested
on e6400 and found that those RCOMP values are the same
nicholas was testing some errant modules that seemed to
fail raminit in coreboot. in some cases, dell e6400 would
regularly fail coldboot even though reboot was ok; this was
therefore the cause of suspicioun for it being raminit-related
with this patch from hell (Angel Pons, but knows as hell
on IRC) it should fix boot issue on Dell Latitude E6400

note: me6_update_parser needs to be written, similar
to me7_update_parser, to generate the partition
tables within intel me6 on lenovo bios updates.
the current logic in lbmk goes like this:
mkdir -p vendorfiles/cache/
and save your factory dump as:
vendorfiles/cache/x201_factory.rom
the build system has been modified, in such a way
as to support extracting me.bin (which is the full
one) and then neutering from this.
this is done automatically, if the file is present,
but you must first insert that file there, which means
you'll need a dump of the original boot flash on your

this has been reverted, because it caused s3 resume
issues on most intel laptops in libreboot.
i was going to merge this instead:
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/78623
however, it's under review, and this doesn't change
to the old behaviour; it keeps the new universal
config, but changes the default
we know the old logic works, so keep that for now.
in fact, the offending patch was only merged to
main in coreboot, one day before i recently
updated coreboot revs in coreboot/default - i used
a 12 october revision, the patch above is 11 october
i then ran "./update trees -u coreboot" which updated
the heap sizes back to the old defaults. this should
fix s3 suspend/resume where it was broken, in the
libreboot 20231021 release - a point release with this
and a few other fixes is planned soon.

the logic for naming coreboot roms is based on whether
cpu_microcode_blob.bin would exist in cbfs, and whether
deletion was therefore successful.
lbmk was naming nomicrocode on fam15h roms on this basis,
but the microcode was being inserted as microcode_amd.bin
and microcode_amd_fam15h.bin
in the recent 20231021 release, the roms were exclusively
labeled _nomicrocode in the rom names, but they do in fact
contain microcode.
i'm fixing it by telling lbmk *not* to delete microcode.
if microcode_required is not set, or it's set to y, then
only roms *with* microcode updates are provided; even if
the rom doesn't actually contain it, lbmk will only label
it _nomicrocode if that setting is set to n.
i'm not bothering to add further complexity to the rom
handling logic, because canoeboot now exists anyway (at
website https://canoeboot.org/) which is my new version
re-implementing the older, inferior version of libreboot
so i'm going to:
1) document this as errata in the release
2) cross reference in the freedom status page
3) if someone still isn't happy, i'll say use canoeboot
job done.

when building only for u-boot, the current script
works just fine. however, when building for other
payloads in additional to u-boot, the final u-boot
stage fails because other payloads are already
inserted via cbfs.
when we build u-boot, we do that last because we want
u-boot setups to only be u-boot, nothing else.
this patch enables qemu x86 to build properly with
u-boot.

gru_bob fails to build without python-setuptools. this isn't a huge issue,
because most users probably have it already as many other python programs
depend on it too. that's probably why no one noticed until now,
when i tried to do this on a fresh artix install uncontaminated by python.
i also sorted and deduplicated the packages with 'sort -u'.
github's httpd b0rked the fuck out and i didn't want to wait
for them to fix it (ssl cert error) before i continued a build.
i now host the relevant acpica tarball on libreboot rsync,

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.

clean it up after copying the tarballs
i really hate how this logic is written, it's clunky
but it should work; the only issue is that it's quite
slow, and inefficient on use of disk space.
however, i've not yet figured out how to reproducible
add files to a tarball, once the tarball has been created,
and i rely on sorting (of file names) when creating them.
it's really not a problem because normal people won't
use this script, only i or anyone who wants to test out
the libreboot release infrastructure. this script is
largely intended to *work*
but i'm still annoyed by how crappy it is. i'll fix it
after the Libreboot 20231021 release.

notabug is unreliable, even as a backup.
why, just today, it was offline! all day.
i originally moved libreboot away from notabug,
to codeberg instead, but kept the notabug account
online, and i still push to it when it's online.
however, notabug seems to be in a terminal state
of neglect by its admins, so lbmk should not use it.

everything downloaded, then tarballed, then built,
now crossgcc is downloaded by coreboot.
now extract, copy crossgcc tarballs, re-compress.
TODO: simply add files to the archive, without re-
compressing the whole thing.
this is still more efficient than the old way: build
everything, then clean and compress, making another
build test on the release archive necessary; with this,
there is still only one build test per release.
with this, and the previous revisions dealing with
submodules, the source archives should now be complete.

in release archives, .git is excluded but the version
and versiondate files are included. from these, the
git history is re-created with the exact date (but not
taking into account timezone, at present).
in this way, lbmk will have git history in a release
archive. some build systems, like coreboot, prefer that
there be git history available, so this is a nice
workaround on those build systems.
