Remove options that haven't deviated from defaults in the Coreboot
Kconfig, despite being saved by `make savedefconfig`. Also, add
`CONFIG_BOARD_LENOVO_THINKPAD_T440P`, which was missing from the `make
savedefconfig` output, causing Heads builds to fail. And finally, bump
`CONFIG_CBFS_SIZE` to `0x800000` (8 MiB to bytes to hexadecimal).
This value for the CBFS size is arbitrary. Originally, I had totaled the
size of all binary blobs, subtracted that from the T440p's ROM size (12
MiB), and used the remaining space as the CBFS size (~11.68 MiB).
However, this caused very long RAM initialization times (courtesy of
`cbmem -t`). And, an anecdote in
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-os-reviews/c/lUqRrGUoEBY/m/ka7L1f2BS8gJ
suggested that this value needs to be a power of 2.
So, I picked a size I expected our Linux payload to fit into that was a
power of 2 that I also expected would leave enough space in the ROM for
the IFD, ME, GbE, and Coreboot.
Now, it takes less than a second for RAM initialization after
flashing/first boot (anecdotally, it seems the MRC needs to be
"trained?").
NixOS doesn't have a traditional FHS where echo is available at
`/bin/echo`. Instead, we must rely on the PATH for any
distribution-managed utilities. Reverses
https://github.com/osresearch/heads/issues/106.
Before, the configure script sourced these from the system FHS
(/usr/include/libusb-1.0). The build failed on my NixOS build machine,
which doesn't store dependencies in a traditional FHS. And this is the
correct approach for reproducible builds.
Since it's not supposed to be shell safe, just display safe
inside double quotes, we can allow some more characters.
Also fix the escape character not being escaped.
busybox sha256sum will create a checksum file for uncommon file names
(e.g. /boot/foo"$\n"bar), but fail to verify that exact file.
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=14226
Thus disallow all files in /boot/ with strange file names at the time of
signing for now. Verifying in the presence of new files with such file
names in /boot/ is no issue for the kexec_tree verification due to the
previously implemented escaping mechanism.
Attempt to fix the following issues:
1. unescaped file names may let an attacker display arbitrary
whiptail prompts --> escape, original code by @JonathonHall-Purism
2. whiptail itself allows escape characters such as \n
--> use an escape character not used by whiptail, i.e. #
3. performance issues caused by diff'ing too early -->
only generate a diff to display to the user, if an actual issue is
found
- ROOT_DISK_IMG is now dynamic (ROOT_DISK_IMG=/path/to/existing/provisioned/disk.img can be reused across run statements)
- Addition of missing boards to cover all use cases
- All TPM1 boards rely on common config/coreboot-qemu-tpm1.config
- boards/qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp/qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1-hotp.md has been generalized
- all other boards are softlinked to the above for usage
This patch changes the bash location in the makefile from /bin/bash to
/usr/bin/env bash. The latter is a more reproducible location as it is
common to more *nix systems which don't contain the former, such as
NixOS.
