librems vs mainline have:
- mei module not compiled in
- Streamline modules/linux Makefile helpers so that one asks on console for new Kconfig options to be y/n, another one to do olddefconfig (accept new defaults)
- Exercice proves again that oldconfig exposes new things added into kernel by default as opposed to defconfig format.
- Add TCP Syn cookies to all linux configs (all boards add CDC tethering AFAIK. Add this protection by default)
- Remove unneeded network card drivers from librems common and unify
- Remove unneeded microsoft surface drivers from librems common and unify
- Remove WMI embedded Binary MOF driver CONFIG_WMI_BMOF
- Unify removed Kconfig options from x230 ported to 6.1.8 to librems common
- Verify qemu (AMD) changes working (note, there is clock source watchdog that would need to be investigated seperately for QEMU TCG mode, that is, not KVM)
- Review crypto backend requirements/unify once more
- Removed bunch of unused stuff under QEMU Q35 (AMD)
Q/A:
- CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_NONE vs CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL? CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_NONE now.
- CONFIG_LDISC_AUTOLOAD=y?
- CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL=y?
- CONFIG_X86_THERMAL_VECTOR=y?
- ACPI-WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) mapper device (PNP0C14) enabled by ACPI_VIDEO and depended by DRM drivers.
- ACPI_VIDEO seems needed.
- CONFIG_INPUT_VIVALDIFMAP=y anabled by CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD (AT/PS2 Keyboard)

- Add additional requirements to linux config
- Add additional CONFIG_MOBILE_TETHERING=y to all maximized board configs
- Fix issue under network-recovery-init to NTP sync against NTP server pool
- Extend network-recovery-init to first try NTP sync against DNS server returned by DHCP answer
- Remove network-recovery-init earlytty and tty0 redirection (console should be setuped properly by init in all cases)
- If CONFIG_MOBILE_TETHERING=y added to board config and network-recovery-init called, wait to user input on instructions and warning 30 secs before proceeding (non-blocking)
- Machines having STATIC_IP under board config won't benefit of autoatic NTP sync
Since network-recovery-init can only be called from recovery shell now, and recovery shell can be guarded by GPG auth, this is PoC code to be used to complement TOTP being out of sync
TODO(Future PR):
- Refactor into functions and reuse into TOTP/HOTP being out of sync automatically.

Laptops can include optional USB keyboard support (default off unless
the board also sets the default to 'y'). The setting is in the
configuration GUI.
CONFIG_USER_USB_KEYBOARD is now the user-controlled setting on those
boards. 'CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD' is no longer used to avoid any conflict
with prior releases that expect this to be a compile-time setting only
(conflicts risk total lock out requiring hardware flash, so some
caution is justified IMO).
Boards previously exporting CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD now export
CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD_REQUIRED. Those boards don't have built-in
keyboards, USB keyboard is always enabled. (librem_mini,
librem_mini_v2, librem_11, librem_l1um, librem_l1um_v2, talos-2,
kgpe-d16_workstation-usb_keyboard, x230-hotp-maximized_usb-kb).
Librem laptops now export CONFIG_SUPPORT_USB_KEYBOARD to enable
optional support. The default is still 'off'.

both linux/coreboot:
- save_in_defconfig_format_in_place : takes whatever coreboot config file for a make BOARD=xyz statement and saves it in defconfig
- save_in_oldefconfig_format_in_place : takes whatever coreboot config file for a make BOARD=xyz statement and saves it in oldefconfig
linux:
- linux.prompt_for_new_config_options_for_kernel_version_bump:
- The most useful helper as of now when doing kernel version bump.
- Requires to save current kernel config in oldconfig (make BOARD=xyz linux.save_in_oldefconfig_format_in_place) first, then bump kernel version in board config and then use that helper to review new options and save in tree.
This is particularly beneficial for servers with Aspeed BMC video,
because it introduces framebuffer console acceleration. The
framebuffer console is much more responsive.
Patches were ported from 5.10.5:
0001-fake-acpi.patch: This may not be needed any more, but it applies
cleanly and I don't think it would harm anything.
0002-nmi-squelch.patch: The comment mentions qemu but I see this
message on physical machines occasionally, so I think this is needed.
0003-fake-trampoline.patch: This patch does not apply cleanly. It
could be ported, but I don't think it's needed, I dropped it. Dates
back to a very old commit where Linux was being embedded into a vendor
UEFI firmware: a4d7654b1e.
0010-winterfell-ahci.patch: Minor change of %x to %lx in context.

Most useful to me are:
coreboot.modify_and_save_defconfig_in_place
coreboot.modify_and_save_oldconfig_in_place
linux.modify_and_save_oldconfig_in_place
linux.modify_and_save_defconfig_in_place
Which permit to take current in tree configs and translate them into other format.
This is useful when trying to version bump and build.
Also add helpers to save in versioned version to facilitate change tracking:
linux.generate_and_save-versioned-oldconfig
linux.regenerate_and_save_versioned_defconfig
This patch adds ARCH="$(LINUX_ARCH)" to Linux targets working on config
files. Without it, the architecture defaults to that of host, which for
cross-compilation isn't right.

-coreboot support of TPM v2.0 (shared config for TPM2 support across all 4 previous variations)
-swtpm set to be launched under TPM v2.0 mode under board config
-Documentation file under each board.md softlinks to qemu-coreboot-fbwhiptail-tpm1.md (which has been generalized)
This is skeleton for TPM v2 integration under Heads

TODO:
- libcurl cannot be built as a tpm2-tools dependency as of now not sure why. curl currently needs to be added in board config to be built
- Note: tpm-reset (master and here) needs some review, no handle of no tpm use case. Caller is responsible to not call it otherwise does nothing
- init tries to bind fd and fails currently
- Note: Check if whiptail is different of fbwhiptail in clearing screen. As of now every clear seems to be removed, still whiptail clears previous console output
- When no OS' /boot can be mounted, do not try to TPM reset (will fail)
- seal-hotpkey is not working properly
- setting disk unlock key asks for TPM ownership passphrase (sealing in NV requires ownership, but text is misleading user as if reowning TPM)
- We should cache input, feed tpm behind the scene and wipe passphrase and state clearly that this is TPM disk unlock kye passphrase.
- primary key from TPM2 is invalid most of the time from kexec-select-boot and verifying global hashes but is setuped correctly at disk unlock key setup
- would be nice to take advantage of bash function tracing to understand where we are for debugging purposes, code takes ash in consideration only
- tpmr says it implements nv calls but actually doesn't. Removing those falsely wrapped functions would help.
- Implementing them would be better
- REVIEW TODOS IN CODE
- READD CIRCLECI CONFIG
Current state:
- TPM unseal works without disk unlock key and generates TOTP properly (was missing die condition at unseal to not produce always good TOTP even if invalid)
- TPM disk encryption key fails. Hypothesis is that sealing with USB drivers loaded and measures in inconsistent with sealed with/without.
- TPM disk unsealing happens without USB modules being loaded in non-HOTP setup. This fails.
- Current tests are with fbwhiptail (no clear called so having traces on command line of what happens)
- Testing with HOTP implementation for sealing/unsealing since that forces USB module loads on each boot to remove this from failing possibilities
This makes configs much less dependent on directory layout.

This reduces the amount of noise in the Linux kernel config files
by only storing the differences from the stock configuration.
It adds a new makefile target 'linux.saveconfig' to convert the
build tree's .config file into config/linux-linuxboot.config.
USB smart card readers are most full speed devices, and there is no
"rate-matching hubs" beneath the root hub on older (e.g. GM45) plat-
forms, which has companion OHCI or UHCI controllers and needs cor-
responding drivers to communicate with card readers directly plugged
into the motherboard, otherwise a discrete USB hub should be inserted
between the motherboard and the reader.
This time I make inserting linux modules for OHCI and UHCI controllable
with option CONFIG_LINUX_USB_COMPANION_CONTROLLER.
A linux config for x200 is added as an example.
Tested on my x200s and elitebook revolve 810g1.
Move board configuration into `boards/` instead of `config/`
Fix mistake in building kernel module tree before kernel was done.
