See, coreboot bug report:
https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/590
We hadn't noticed this for quite a while, since we always
just booted with iomem=relaxed when needing to run cbmem,
since in practise it was always combined with other tasks
that require access to lower memory.
GRUB currently matches coreboot's own mmap for cbmem, but
for example SeaBIOS marks cbmem as E820 reserved. Therefore,
this change replicates the SeaBIOS behaviour.
Without this patch, Linux needs to boot with iomem=relaxed
for cbmem access, for example when running ./cbmem -1
With this patch, cbmem is now accessible regardless. This
patch also prevents Linux from overwriting parts of CBMEM.
Thanks go to Paul Menzel, who wrote this GRUB patch.
Thanks also go to Nicholas Chin, who provided testing, all
the way from Coreboot 25.03 back to Coreboot 4.20. It seems
that this is just something the payloads have to handle.
This means that both SeaBIOS and GRUB no longer have this
bug, in Libreboot; now what remains is to replicate the
test with our U-Boot payload.

Some parts of lbmk set +u +e, to be reset later on
under normal conditions upon exit. We must ensure
such level of integrity in err() as well.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
Rely once again on err_, but still explicitly add an exit
just below, in case I made a mistake one day.
err() is essentially a trap that triggers in case I mess
up an error function, so that it doesn't reliably exit.
So, the idea is that everything calls err(), and err() is
almost never modified, or modified very carefully.
If error exits were ever broken, the result could be quite
unpredictable, so lbmk has very strict error handling, and
great care is taken to ensure that it does reliably exit.

make the command style more consistent, for example
relying on x_ inside a subshell to print the command
and arguments if a command failed.
this is a good style, and i'll probably use it in other
places on lbmk.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
Don't directly call a variable. Call a function that
checks the variable instead.
The new err function also checks whether an exit was
actually done, and exits 1 if not.
If an exit was done by the given function, but the exit
was zero, this is also corrected to perform an exit 1.
This fixes a longstanding design flaw of lbmk.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
Always certainly redundant, since if -u -e isn't
set, it'll continue to exit anyway.
However, we want to be pedantic about this, since
the safety of lbmk relies entirely on this function
NOT misbehaving.

it could be that some were left over before, for some
reason. that isn't currently the case, but this will
avoid the possibility in future.
therefore, this is a preemptive bug fix.

the initial checks are unnecessary, since i always know
what arguments are being provided.
the -f check in the for loop is now an -x instead, more
efficient and complete.

we know that _dest is always what's set in the coreboot config,
without the ../../../ in it, so just copy both files in a single
function, and call the function twice.
if both files are done on the first call, the second call will
be skipped. if only the first file was done on the first call,
running the download script again will skip the first one, and
grab the second one.
this also avoids having to run the decat function twice, in most
cases, so it's a tiny optimisation.
this optimisation only works if both fsp files (s and m) are to
be extracted into the same directory, which is the case anyway,
and this will always be the case.

Don't copy it until it has been padded properly.
Otherwise, erroneous padding would result in an error,
and who knows what would be left in vendorfiles/ ?

If we're in a release work directory, TMPDIR is already
set, so the local ./tmp won't be created, which would
lead to an error.
Fix it by creating xbmklocal before checking TMPDIR.

this silences confusing error messages that the user
sees on the screen, that are actually benign, and it
will thus reduce the number of people who ask questions
on #libreboot irc

it's not a lot of code, and takes less than a second.
the previous change uses x instead of ?, but this would
cause an error if the nvmutil was already built, because
the makefile might cause a build to be skipped.
therefore, force a re-build to mitigate the error.

A user reported that '?' causes an error on zsh. See:
https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/261
For example:
./mk inject libreboot-XXXXXX.tar.xz setmac ??:??:??:??:??:??
The user got:
zsh: no matches found: ??:??:??:??:??:??
The mitigation here is to double-quote, e.g.:
./mk inject libreboot-XXXXXX.tar.xz setmac "??:??:??:??:??:??"
However, a lot of people won't do that. Therefore, I will
retain the current behaviour but support x/X for randomness.
Now lbmk uses x by default, instead. I will now update the
documentation, accordingly.

not to be confused with /tmp
we use ./tmp inside the lbmk work directory, for large files,
because /tmp might not be very big, or might be a tmpfs

In the mk script, we need fx_ to not return errors on the
find command, since it's searching a bunch of directories
where some of them may not exist.
All other instances where fx_ is used, must return an error
if the directory being searched doesn't exist.
For this, fe_() is introduced, which does the same as fx_
but with this much stricter check.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
We have a lot of places in lbmk where the output of find is
used, and then some function is executed on the result.
This is messy, and bloats several of these functions.
Now this is unified, into a new function: fx_
What fx_ does is execute a given function, for each result
found, with the arguments for a find command appended.
For example:
find -name ".git"
If you wanted to do: foo "$arg"
Where "arg" is a search result from find, and you wanted
to execute "foo" on each one, you would do:
fx_ foo -name ".git"
The find utility does have an -exec feature, but I've found
that it only works for executables, not functions.
fx_ does not return errors, so "foo" in this example
would have to do its own error handling.

This is similar to the 9020SFF, but this board has ECC support.
However, the native raminit isn't used here, even though it is
otherwise compatible, because the native init doesn't do ECC yet.
The broadwell mrc.bin has ECC support, which is also used on the
HP EliteBook 820 G2. The MRC for broadwell can be used on haswell
boards such as the T1700.
Add both the SFF and MT variants. Since these are identical to the
9020 variants, except for slightly different PCH enabling ECC, we
can just re-use the 9020 port without issue.
We *could* add a variant to coreboot, for T1700, but there is not
really any pressing need. It is simply the 9020sff/mt with mrc.bin

Do it just after creating the src archive. This way,
everything is downloaded all at once.
Otherwise, a momentary lapse of internet uptime will
cause a release build to fail later on, and one of
lbmk's flaws is that this would then mean you must
re-build from scratch.
If we assume that the internet is working within a
short period of time, then this change would mitigate
that possibility. If something did happen during tar
archive creation, that's a much shorter amount of time
that is "wasted".

these functions make more sense in lib.sh
i made mk link lib.sh first, so that the
functions on init.sh can still use them.

I fixed the AHCI bug, with a patch that I wrote. It works by
restoring the old SeaBIOS AHCI initialisation behaviour, whereby
the AHCI controller is enabled from its current state; the patch
that broke AHCI in coreboot (tested on ThinkPad T420), changed
AHCI initialisation behaviour so that the controller's state is
first reset, prior to enablement.
However, my patch also retains the new AHCI initialisation
behaviour, when a CSM is in use. The AHCI reset patch was done,
by the author, specifically for SeaBIOS in CSM mode, so it makes
sense to only change the behaviour conditionally according to that.
This reverts commit 8245f0b321.

Added missing txtmode config for T420
Rolled back the recent SeaBIOS revision update, which
therefore removes these SeaBIOS patches:
* 9029a010 kconfig: fix the check-lxdialog.sh to work with gcc 14+
* 8863cbbd ahci: add controller reset
* df9dd418 update pci_pad_mem64 handling
* a4fc1845 add romfile_loadbool()
* a2725e28 drop acpi tables and hex includes
* 35aa9a72 drop obsolete acpi table code
* 1b598a1d usb-hid: Support multiple USB HID devices by storing them in a linked list
Technically, I need only revert instead to revision df9dd418, but
that and the other revisions above contain changes that may possibly
cause other breakage.
We know the old revision worked, so roll back these 7 SeaBIOS commits.
Now I will re-compile the 25.04 release and re-upload it as rev1.
