This development branch builds a NERF firmware for the Dell R630
server. It does not use coreboot; instead it branches directly
from the vendor's PEI core into Linux and the Heads runtime
that is setup to be run as an EFI executable.
Each of the submodule configuration files defined a subset of the
cross compiler tools that it used and many were picking up the
system `ar`, `nm`, `strip, `ld`, etc. They all now use a `Makefile`
macro that defines the path to the proper cross compiler tools.
For ones that need the tools, but not the musl-libc gcc,
there is $(CROSS_TOOLS_NOCC) that is all of them without gcc.
This is for musl-libc itself, as well as xen and the Linux kernel.
Replace libuuid with util-linux libuuid (and libblkid,
although we are not using libblkid right now).
This also requires a much larger coreboot cbfs, which was
fixed as part of issue #154.
This addresses multiple issues:
* Issue #63: initrd is build fresh each time, so tracked files do not matter.
* Issue #144: build time configuration
* Issue #123: allows us to customize the startup experience
* Issue #122: manual start-xen will go away
* Issue #25: tpmtotp PCRs are updated after reading the secret
* Issue #16: insmod now meaures modules
Reduce the size of flashrom by commenting out most flash chips,
boards and programmers.
Wrapper script to make it easier to rewrite the ROM on the x230
using the flashrom layout.
Keep the entire 12 MB ROM for flashing.
The populate-lib program was buggy on some systems and could accidentally
introduce unwanted libraries into the initrd. The Makefile now uses the
modules' $(module_libraries) variable to select which libraries should be
installed into the initrd.
Kernel modules are now stripped and installed using a similar system.
This is a step towards unifying the server and laptop config (issue #139)
and also makes it possible to later remove the USB modules from the
normal boot path.
This merges pull request #99 by @blackwellops and removes
the ./bootstrap script since the musl-cross can be built as
part of the normal dependency tree.
Use --prefix="" to ensure that no destination paths are in libraries.
Use -fdebug-prefix-map to rewrite build path so that it does not
appear in the executables.
Use -gno-record-gcc-switches to ensure that the -fdebug-prefix-map
does not appear in the executables.
Change all of the builds to use $(MAKE) instead of the /usr/bin/make.
Download and build GNU make-4.2 if the wrong version is installed
on the system.
Re-invoke build/make-4.2/make with the target that was passed in once
the correct make has been built.
Pass in the --host argument to all of the various programs
that need to treat the configure scripts as cross compilation
targets.
This removes all dependencies on the host libc (issue #7)
and adds some tools to the initrd (cryptsetup #46).
This adds compilations modules for musl-libc and kernel-headers.
The entire initrd (busybox, cryptsetup, gpgv, kexec, etc) can be built
with the much smaller libc and it appears to work with chroot.
Library paths are not set correctly and files are installed into
heads/install to make them accessible to other modules. This prevents
the initrd from working without manual fixup; need to fix before
merging into master.
Build times have gone up since everything is being rebuilt more
often for some reason.
As part of issue #1, we should build all libraries and programs that we
deploy into the Heads initrd. This modifies the module configurations
for all of them to install into heads/install so that we can build
against them.
Add dmsetup, cryptsetup and veritysetup (issue #46).
Build gpgv 1.4 as a standalone tool (issue #23).
Modify populate-lib to use the install directory by setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (issue #35).
No patches are required to boot 4.9 as a coreboot payload,
unlike the 4.7 kernel that required a head_64.S patch.
The new kernel is about 40 KB larger than the 4.7; the
config might be shrinkable.
Close issue #61.
