% Libreboot Build System Audit 3 % Leah Rowe % 20 October 2023

NOTE: Libreboot standardises on flashprog now, as of 27 January 2024, which is a fork of flashrom.

Introduction

This article pertains to the current Libreboot (lbmk) revision at this time of writing, which is c7e764a3f088e2dbcacb507995476ce3082451ef from 20 October 2023. A release is also being compiled today, 20 October 2023, based upon that revision, and will be announced soon.

A lot of work has gone into Libreboot since Libreboot Build System Audit 2, the main focus of which has been yet another audit; audit2 and the audit before that was mild by comparison.

It was previously planned that audit2 would come just before a release, but I decided that I would perform another audit immediately, so there have been two audits (this audit, dubbed audit 3, and the previous audit 2) between now and the Libreboot 20230625 release.

Massive code size reduction

The focus has been improved error handling, general bug fixing and improving the efficiency of lbmk (in terms of speed). Reduced complexity. The focus has therefore been on the build system, lbmk, which you can read about in the lbmk maintenance manual.

This audit, today, has resulted in a substantial code size decrease in the Libreboot build system, now totalling 1744 source lines when counting shell scripts; after audit2, the sloccount was 2644 sloc and in Libreboot 20230625 it was 3388.

That's a 34 percent reduction versus audit2, and 48.5 percent versus 20230625. That is without reducing any functionality, in any way. Many new features have been implemented.

Summarised changes since audit2

NOTE: In this summarised list, only those changes that pertain to the audit have been listed, because I'm writing a release announcement simultaneously. Therefore, all changes (including audit-related) will be in the release announcement, but only audit changes will be listed below. Not all changes are listed, in the summarised list below, but a full list is written later on in this article.

To re-iterate: only audit-related changes will be listed, and even then, not all changes are listed below; a full list of actual commits is printed, further down.

Overall changes (summary):

  • Better integrity checking when downloading vendor files
  • Safety check: don't allow running as root when not needed, on most commands.
  • Multi-threading now used more universally, when compiling source code, and when creating tar archives from the Libreboot build system.
  • Safer GRUB configuration file handling; less likely to brick during configuration changes that are subject to re-flashing.
  • Much stricter, more verbose error handling in general, but some overly verbose or redundant error handling was deferred to using x_ instead (more on this later).
  • Vastly reduced number of modules in GRUB, keeping only what is required. Many redundant modules have been removed, resulting in lower payload size and higher boot speed when using the GRUB payload.
  • Much safer handling of git name/email credentials, at build time.
  • Greatly improved speed during build, on certain parts of the build process.
  • Improved /tmp handling; tmpfiles are now robustly cleaned, on exit from lbmk.
  • All main project revisions have been updated to recent code; coreboot, SeaBIOS, U-Boot and GRUB. This, in addition to several other repositories.
  • GitHub is no longer used on main Git repository links, instead only as backup
  • Backup repositories now defined, for all main repos under config/git/
  • GRUB LUKS2 support now available, with argon2 key derivation; previously, only PBKDF2 worked so most LUKS2 setups were unbootable in Libreboot. This is fixed.
  • 12 shell scripts, not 20, in lbmk. This, in addition to sloccount reduction. NO FUCTIONALITY HAS BEEN LOST!
  • Most logic has been greatly unified, into single scripts that perform the same style of task, rather than the same style of task being handled by multiple scripts. This is done without creating spaghetti.
  • Many bugs fixed, and sloccount reduced. Too many to summarise, so see below.
  • Dependencies configs (package lists for distros) have been updated, and new distros are supported e.g. popos and linuxmint.
  • Generally improved help text, in lbmk commands that provide help text.
  • The main Makefile has been removed, because it was redundant.

Here's a more full list of changes, expanding on the above; some entries above are also repeated below but in more detail:

  • Single-tree projects are no longer needlessly re-downloaded when they already have been downloaded.
  • Scrubbing of vendor files now handled by the inject script, rather than the release script. This enables more robust handling of configs pertaining to vendor files, that tell lbmk where the files are and how to insert them; it therefore follows that this same script should be used to delete them.
  • Use --mtime and option options in GNU Tar (if it is actually GNU Tar), when creating Tar archives. This results in partially reproducible source archives, and consistent hashes were seen in testing, but not between distros.
  • Always re-inialitise .git within lbmk, for the build system itself, if Git history was removed as in releases. This work around some build systems like coreboot that use Git extensively, and are error-prone without it.
  • More robust makefile handling in source trees; if one doesn't exist, error out but also check other makefile name combinations, and only error out if the command was to actually build.
  • ROMs build script: support the "all" argument, even when getopt options are used e.g. -k
  • Disabled the pager in grub.cfg, because it causes trouble in some non-interactive setups where the user sees an errant message on the screen and has to press enter. This fixes boot interruptions in some cases, allowing normal use of the machine. The pager was initially enabled many years ago, to make use of cat a bit easier in the GRUB shell, but the user can just enable the pager themselves if they really want to.
  • U-Boot can now be compiled standalone, without using the ROMs build script, because crossgcc handling is provided for U-Boot now in addition to coreboot.
  • Unified handling of git/vendor config files, containing URLs, revisions, checksums and so on. This is handled by a single function under include/option.sh
  • All helper scripts are now under include/, and main scripts in script/, called by the main build script
  • Intel ME extraction is now provided in one function, instead of two, when downloading vendor files per mainboard, before running it through me_cleaner
  • Unified checking of the destination file, when downloading vendor updates. This results in more reliable checking of whether a vendor file has already been downloaded or not, where it is only handled if missing.
  • Generally purge unused variables in shell scripts
  • Simplified initialisation of variables in shell scripts, using the setvars function defined under include/err.sh
  • Vendor scripts: archive extraction is now unified, the same method used for each archive. This enables more robust checking of hashes and so on.
  • Support patch subdirectories, when applying patches. This is done recursively, making it possible to split up patch files into smaller sets inside sub directories, per each source tree (or target of each source tree, where a project is multi-tree within lbmk)
  • SPDX license headers now used, almost universally, in all parts of lbmk.
  • Files such as those under config/git or config/vendor are now concatenated, traversing recursively through the target directory; files first, then directories in order, and for each directory, follow the same pattern until all files are concatenated. This same logic is also used for patches. This now enables use of subdirectories, in some config/patch directories.
  • General code cleanup on util/nvmutil
  • Git histories are more thoroughly deleted, in third party source trees during release time.
  • Symlinks in release archives are no longer hard copies; the symlinks are re-created by the release script, because it clones the current lbmk work directory via Git (local git clone), rather than just using cp to copy links.
  • More deeply integrated the Intel MRC download script (from coreboot) into Libreboot's vendor scripts, removing its download logic and re-using that from Libreboot's scripts instead; now, the MRC script only contains extraction logic, and it is an include file, rather than a standalone script.
  • Properly output to stderr, on printf commands in scripts where it is either a warning prior to calling err, or just something that belongs on the error output (instead of standard output).
  • Don't use the -B option in make commands.
  • Where no-microcode ROM images are provided, ensure that the ROM hashes still match when running the vendor inject script. This is only useful on the Dell Latitude E6400, which is otherwise FSDG-compatible but (in Libreboot) comes with or without microcode updates, and with or without the Nvidia VGA ROM (handled by vendor inject/download scripts) for dGPU variants. Verification previously failed, under certain conditions, when inserting that VGA ROM.
  • SECURITY: Use sha512sum (not sha1sum) when verifying certain downloads. This reduces the chance for collisions, during checksum verification.
  • Set GRUB timout to 5s by default, but allow override and set to 10s or 15s on some mainboards.
  • Vendor scripts: don't use /tmp for ROM images when inserting vendor files. In case /tmp is a tmpfs and not much RAM is available, it is paramount that the user's file system is used instead, where there is likely greater capacity; it is done under tmp/ in lbmk (not to be confused with /tmp).
  • Support both curl and wget, where files are downloaded outside of Git; defer to Wget when Curl fails, and try each program three times before failing. This results in more resilient downloading, on wobbly internet connections.
  • Don't clone Git repositories into /tmp, because it might be a tmpfs with little memory available; clone into tmp/gitclone instead, within lbmk, and mv it to avoid unnecessary additional writes (mv is much more efficient than cp, for this purpose).
  • Removed unused target.cfg handling in vendor scripts, because they use the concatenated config format instead (they always have).
  • move me7_updater_parser.py to util/ (not under script/)
  • The directory containing vendor files no longer exists in lbmk, because it is instead created when needed; the ifd/gbe files were moved to config/ifd so the vendorfile directory became redundant.
  • Coreboot builds: automatically run make-oldconfig, to mitigate use of raw coreboot config where a revision was updated but the config was untouched. This may still result in a confirmation dialog, and it's still recommended that the configs be updated per revision (or switch them to defconfigs).
  • Vastly simplified directory structure; resources/scripts/ is now script/, and resources/ was renamed to config/; ifd and gbe files were also moved to config/ifd/. Commands are now 1-argument instead of 2, for example the ./build boot roms command is now ./build roms.
  • memtest86plus: only build it on 64-bit hosts, for now (32-bit building is broken on a lot of distros nowadays, and lbmk doesn't properly handle cross compilation except on coreboot or U-Boot)
  • (courtesy of Riku Viitanen) don't use cat on loops that handle lines of text. Instead, use the read command that is built into sh, reading each line. This is more efficient, and provides more robust handling on lines with spaces in them.
  • Don't support removal of microcode (during release time) on untested targets. Set microcode_required="y" on most boards, but leave it set to "n" on platfroms such as GM45 (ThinkPad X200/T400, Dell E6400, etc); anything FSDG compatible, in other words.
  • Improved Dell Latitude E6400 support; the same image now provides iGPU and dGPU support, since it's SeaBIOS-only anyway, so a VGA ROM is inserted into the same ROM that also enables libgfxinit, enabling the Intel or Nvidia GPU to be used (if the VGA ROM is missing, only the Intel GPU will work).
  • ALL projects now have submodules downloaded at build time, not just multi tree projects such as coreboot.
  • Improved cbutils handling; it's now even less likely to needlessly re-build if it was already built.
  • The release build script no longer archives what was already built, but instead builds from scratch, creating an archive from source downloads first before building the ROM archives. This saves time because it enables a single build test per release, whereas at was previously necessary to test the Git repository and then the release archive. Testing both is still desired, but this behaviour also means that whatever is built at release time is guaranteed to be the same as what the user would build (from archives).
  • Improved handling of target.cfg files in multi-tree projects coreboot, SeaBIOS and U-Boot. Unified to all such projects, under one script, and with improved error handling.
  • Only remove microcode (where that behaviour is enabled per board) in release ROMs, but not during build time. This results in reduced disk usage during development, but release archives still contain the no-microcode option if you want to use that; manual removal is also still possible, during development.
  • GRUB payload: all ROM images now contain the same ELF, with all keymaps inserted. This speeds up the build process, and enables easier configuration when changing the keyboard layout because less re-flashing is needed.
  • Simplified IFD handling on ICH9M platforms (e.g. X200/T400 thinkpads); the ich9gen utility wasn't needed anymore so ich9utils has been removed, and now the IFD/GbE files are included pre-assembled (generated by ich9gen). Ich9gen can still be used, or you can re-generate with coreboot's bincfg; the ifdtool util can be used to edit IFD and nvmutil (part of Libreboot) can change MAC addresses. The ich9utils code was always redundant for the last few years, especially since 2022 when nvmutil was first written.
  • Running as root is now forbidden, for most commands; lbmk will exit with non-zero status if you try. The ./build dependencies x commands still work as root (they're the only commands available as root).
  • Enabled memtest86plus on more boards, where it wasn't previously enabled.
  • Only enable SeaBIOS as first payload on desktops, but still enable GRUB as second payload where GRUB is known to work (on each given host). The text mode and coreboot framebuffer modes are provided in each case, where feasible.
  • The list command has been mostly unified, making it easier to tell (from lbmk) what commands are available, without having to manually poke around under script/.
  • The -T0 flag is now used, universally, on xz commands. This makes xz run on multiple threads, greatly speeding up the creation of large tar archives.
  • Universally use -j in make commands, for multi-threading, but it relies on nproc to get thread count, so this only works if you have nproc (you probably don't, if you run BSD; BSD porting is still on TODO for Libreboot)
  • File names as arguments now universally have quotes wrapped around them, and similar auditing has been done to all variables used as arguments everywhere in lbmk. There were cases where multiple arguments were wrongly quoted then treated as a single argument, and vice versa. This is now fixed.
  • Re-wrote .gitcheck; now, a global git name/email config is always required. The only behaviour (setting local config, and unsetting) was quite error-prone under fault conditions, where cleanup may not have been provided, or when execution was interrupted, resulting sometimes in accidentally committing to lbmk.git as author named lbmkplaceholder.
  • The new BSD-like coding style is now used on all shell scripts in lbmk. A few scripts still used the old lbmk coding style, as of audit 2.
  • Scripts no longer directly exit with non-zero status, under fault conditions; instead, x_ or err is used to provide such behaviour. This results in all exits from lbmk being consolidated to err, under fault conditions. - zero exits are also consolidated, going only through the main script, which has its own exit function called lbmk_exit that provides TMPDIR cleanup.
  • Copy dl_path, don't move it, when downloading and extracting a vendor file. This reduces the change of it being missing later when lbmk is run again.
  • BSD-style error handling implemented, with an err function (and functions that use it) inside include/err.sh; there is also x_ which can be used to run a command and exit automatically with non-zero status, useful because it provides more verbose output than if you just relied on set -e, and it still works when a script does not use set -e - however, it is not used on all functions, because it works by executing $@ directly, which can break depending on arguments. Therefore, some scripts just default to || err for providing breakage in scripts.
  • Memtest 6.2 now used (instead of 5.x releases). This is essentially a re-write, and it works on the coreboot framebuffer, whereas previous revisions only worked on text mode setups.
  • NO MAKEFILE. The Makefile in lbmk has been removed. It was never meaningfully used because all it did was run lbmk commands, without implementing any logic itself. A Makefile may be added again in the future, but with a view to installing just the build system onto the host system, to then build ROM images under any number of directories. Lbmk's design is strictly no-Makefile, but it uses Makefiles provided by third party source trees when building them.
  • Safer GRUB configuration file handling between GRUB memdisk and coreboot CBFS; it is no longer possible to boot without a GRUB config, because the one in GRUB memdisk is provided as a failsafe, overridden by inserting one in CBFS, but there is no config in CBFS by default anymore.
  • VASTLY more efficient build process; all coreboot ROMs without payload are now cached under elf/, as are payloads, then they are joined separately by the usual ROMs build script, and these cached ROMs contain many changes in them that were previously handled by moverom in the main ROM build script. Under the new design, repetitive steps are avoided; payloads are inserted into a copy of the cached ROMs under TMPDIR, before being copied for keymaps and small files; this eliminates delays caused by slow compression (LZMA is always used, when inserting payloads). After crossgcc and the payloads are compiled, the ROM with coreboot builds in under a minute, whereas it would have previously taken several minutes on most Libreboot-supported hardware.
  • VASTLY reduced GRUB payload size; modules that aren't needed have been removed resulting in much smaller GRUB payloads, that also boot faster.
  • ALL defconfig creation, updating and modification are handled by the same script that also handles compiling, as mentioned in the bullet-point below.
  • ALL main source trees are now compiled, downloaded, configured and cleaned using the same script. The download (Git) logic is a separate file under include/ and its functions are called by the main build script, which provides a stub for this.
  • Scripts are no longer executed directly, ever, except the main script. All scripts are otherwise executed from script/, inheriting the TMPDIR variable set (and exported) by lbmk.
  • Generally improved user feedback in scripts, especially the vendor scripts.
  • Coreboot, U-Boot and SeaBIOS are now downloaded, configured and compiled using the exact same script. Although these codebases differ wildly, their build systems use the same design, and they are compatible from a user-interface perspective.
  • Vastly improved /tmp handling; a universal TMPDIR is set (environmental variable) and exported to all child processes running lbmk scripts. On exit, the main tmp directory is purged, cleaning all tmp directories under it.
  • Improved handling of vendor file hashes; previously, the backup would only be tried if the first one failed to download, but if the first file succeeded and yet had a bad hash, the backup would not be tried. Now the backup is tried when either the first download fails OR it has a bad hash, making downloads of vendor files more resilient to network failure.
  • When extracting ME files from vendors, more types of archives are supported for decompression at build time.
  • Fixed bug where vendor files were always being downloaded from backup URLs at build time.
  • Spoof the user agent string mimicking that of Tor Browser, when downloading vendor files at build time. This circumvents restrictions based on user agent string, when lbmk interacts with certain HTTP servers.
  • General simplification of coding style on all shell scripts.
  • Abort (with non-zero exit) if KBC1126 EC firmware fails to download at build time.
  • Fixed some variable initialisations in the coreboot ROM image build script
  • Don't enable u-boot on QEMU x86 images (due to buggy builds, untested)
  • Haswell (libre MRC) coreboot tree: fixed acpica downloads, which no longer work on the upstream URL. Old acpica binaries now hosted on Libreboot rsync.
  • Fixed coreboot-version file inserted into coreboot trees, when compiled on Libreboot release archives.
