The baytrail FSP was added in Coreboot by the commit
954f3882f1ea8512de9a5a6a38569c36bffae405 ("Add the Bay Trail FSP
include & srx directories") by Martin Roth, proably not on behalf on
Intel.
The commit also contains an email address from Martin Roth with the
se-eng.com domain (from Sage Electronic Engineering) and doesn't
contain any email address related to Intel. This increase the
probability that Intel wasn't involved in adding the Bay Trail FSP to
Coreboot.
Because of the (strong) doubts, the fact that the Bay Trail FSP was
also removed upstream and that GNU Boot doesn't support computers with
Intel Bay Trail, it's easier to just remove the nonfree software.

This was introduced in ARM trusted firmware in the commit
c76631c52b0b1550ff182c177555485700274314 ("rockchip: include hdcp.bin
and declare hdcp key decryption handler").
The hdcp.bin file contains code as it is included inside one of the
arm-trusted-firmware drivers with the following code:
__asm__(
".pushsection .text.hdcp_handler, \"ax\", %progbits\n"
".global hdcp_handler\n"
".balign 4\n"
"hdcp_handler:\n"
".incbin \"" __XSTRING(HDCPFW) "\"\n"
".type hdcp_handler, %function\n"
".size hdcp_handler, .- hdcp_handler\n"
".popsection\n"
);
The same file that contains the above code has the following copyright header:
* Copyright (c) 2017-2018, ARM Limited and Contributors. All rights reserved.

* SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause
This conflicts with the message of the commit mentioned above:
For some reason, HDCP key decrytion can't open source in ATF, so we
build it as hdcp.bin. Besides declare the handler for decrypting.
and we also have missing corresponding source code.
Because of the lack of source code, and the fact that GNU Boot doesn't
support computers with RK3399 yet, it's easier to remove the hdcp.bin
firmware than to pursue other ways to fix the issue.

The program’s name should be a constant string; don’t compute it

The build system was designed to produce images with different GPU
drivers for a single computer and/or to show the image name in the
final image names, to enable users to know which GPU driver was used.
However since all boards have practically speaking the same GPU driver
('libgfxinit') this adds too much complexity for almost no benefits.

The seabios_grubfirst images provides the same functionality than the
GRUB images, but instead of having GRUB being loaded directly by
Coreboot, Coreboot loads SeaBIOS which then loads GRUB.
These images probably exist to enable end users to try it to workaround
potential compatibility issues between the OS and GRUB with the GRUB
image as we have a BIOS implementation being loaded.
While this looks useful, it also makes things more complicated:
- It increase the number of images to choose from, and it's
complicated to explain the difference between grub and
seabios_grubfirst to end users.
For instance for the "x200_8mb", users need to choose between 2 GPU
modes (corebootfb, or txtmode) and 12 keyboard layouts. So having to
choose between 2 payloads instead of 3 with one difference that is
hard to understand makes things easier.
- It makes testing more complicated as we have one more payload to
test and we also need to make sure to always differenciate both
images in bug reports, documentation, etc.
And if issues arise from this change in the future, we could work with
upstream to fix them and/or replace the grub images with
'seabios_grubfirst' while keeping the 'grub' name to avoid
complicating things by having two main payloads with identical
features.

An option would be to make sure that the host has qemu_img by adding
its corresponding packages in resources/dependencies/ and to check for
it in configure.ac, but since we already build the qemu with Guix,
it's easier to just reuse that, and this also gives us less
maintenance in the long run.
This was broken by the commit 9cc02ddde1
("packages: roms: Start adding automatic tests.").

The "4.7 Mcopy" section inside the mtools info manual explains that
mcopy's '-m' argument "Preserve the file modification time.".
So in the commit 9cc02ddde1 ("packages:
roms: Start adding automatic tests."), I vaguely recall having used it
to workaround some reproducibility issues.
Guix 1.4.0 uses mtools 4.0.42. So after retrieving the source with
'guix time-machine --commit=v1.4.0 -- build --system=i686-linux
--source mtools' we have that in the writeit function in mcopy.c (with
arg->preserveTime being set by -m):
/* preserve mod time? */
if (arg->preserveTime)
now = date;
else
getTimeNow(&now);
And date is set by the following in mtools 4.0.42:
if (Source->Class->get_data(Source, &date, &filesize,
&type, 0) < 0 ){
fprintf(stderr, "Can't stat source file\n");
return -1;
}
Since Guix is supposed to make images reproducible somehow, and that
mtools isn't patched by Guix to do that, and that it takes the time
from the source file, I used '-m'.
Since I was confident enough that gnuboot-trisquel-preseed.img was
reproducible, in the commit 9cc02ddde1
("packages: roms: Start adding automatic tests."), I also added the
checksum and checked it at build time to make sure the image is really
reproducible.
But when building this image again few days ago the checksum was
different. So I used the Guix diffoscope package to investigate the
issue.
Note that at the time of writing, you either need to use Guix's
diffoscope or to disable guestfs support in diffoscope for it to work,
otherwise diffoscope 277-1 (the version in the Parabola at the time of
writing) produce a python error probably because the partition table
size is 0, and it contains a FAT12 filesystem according to fdisk, but
then the FAT12 filesystem contained within also contains that
partition table. See the upstream bugreport at
https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/-/issues/390
for more details.
Here the preseed.img.old file corresponds to the checksum in the
commit 9cc02ddde1 ("packages: roms:
Start adding automatic tests."), and preseed.img.new to the one I got
by building again few days ago:
$ sha512sum preseed.img.old preseed.img.new

And by using diffoscope we have:

So this time I created a build VM by adding the following service to
my Guix system configuration (I also had to remove hacks I had that
set the kvm group id to the same ID used by Trisquel run 'guix system
reconfigure' and rebooted):
(service virtual-build-machine-service-type
(virtual-build-machine
(cpu "host")
(cpu-count 2)
(auto-start? #f)))
This created a VM whose clock is set to 'a few years ago' according to
the Guix manual[1].
[1]https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Virtualization-Services.html#Virtual-Build-Machines
I then ran built the image as usual:
$ guix time-machine --commit=v1.4.0 -- build -L resources/guix/ \
gnuboot-trisquel-preseed.img
--without-tests=gnuboot-trisquel-preseed.img
I then copied the resulting image, started the build VM with 'herd
start build-vm', deleted the old image from the store (with 'guix gc
-D') and then re-built it (it used the VM to offload the build as
shown in the build logs).
And now both resulting files are now the same despite being built on a
different date.
See also the following blog post for more context into use cases for
this build VM[2]:

The image resulting from the gnuboot-trisquel-preseed.img package is
checked against checksums inside the 'check function of this package.
If for some reasons we want to update the checksums, an easy way to do
it is to build the package but not run the 'check function and do the
checksum on the resulting file. The Guix 1.4.0 manual explains how to
not run 'check with the "--without-tests=package" option in the
"10.1.2 Package Transformation Options" section.
However if we attempt that with the following command, the
without-tests has no impact at all:
$ guix time-machine --commit=v1.4.0 -- build -L resources/guix/ \
gnuboot-trisquel-preseed.img \
--without-tests=gnuboot-trisquel-preseed.img
This changes makes the above command work as expected.

The test data consists mostly in nonfree boot firmware images. The
images contain nonfree binaries like for instance microcode updates
without complete and corresponding source code.
As more and more boot firmware images are added over time it's a good
idea to just remove everything in that directory to make sure that we
don't ship nonfree software from that directory again, while also
lowering the maintenance costs.

The ${release_files} variable is used to test for files missing in the

would not work on them).

We need to somehow isolate the git configuration being used to build
GNU Boot from the rest of the system as otherwise things like
automatic gpg signatures can kick in and block the build because it
waits for a pinentry.
In addition:
- It enables us to simplify the build code as the git configuration is
now the same during all the build.
- Contributors don't need to setup git anymore just to build GNU
Boot. This also makes GNU Boot a bit more reproductible.
Replacing git inside the build scripts / Makefiles enable us to still
run them manually (like ./resources/packages/coreboot/download).

Without that fix, with a very basic Trisquel 11 (aramo) installation
and after running resources/dependencies/trisquel-10, the GNU Boot
autogen.sh is broken due to the lack of libtool:
$ ./autogen.sh 2>&1 > temp
autoreconf: export WARNINGS=

autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
So we simply make sure that libtool is installed as part of the
dependencies.
For Arch, libtool is already in base-devel (checked with Parabola).

In GNU Boot, at the time of writing, we want to advise users to use
the GRUB images as they don't require users to modify their
distribtions.
However before the commit aec2e2f2bcf7693a05e416f9722e15b9d1854516
("Fix bug #65663 (No support for LVM2)."), most computers using LVM2
would not boot with these images.
The bug is now fixed by this commit, however since we ship a custom
grub.cfg and that it is very important to get it right, it's a good
idea to have some sort of automated testing for it.
It uses Trisquel (instead of other FSF certified distributions) for
several reasons:
- Trisquel can be used by less technical users, and so it's important
to make sure it works as less technical users tend to have harder
times finding workaround when things break.
- It's probably the GNU/Linux distribution that most current and
potential GNU Boot users use.
- It is also maintained by a community that welcome contributions, so
if we hit some issues, we can also contribute to get it fixed (we
also verified that multiple times by contributing to it).
Note that we also welcome tests that reuse other distributions as
well.

The creation of what became grub_memdisk.cfg can be tracked back to
the grub.cfg that I published in 2013 in my build-makefiles repository
and that is available in the very first Libreboot release in
build-makefiles/grub/memdisk/boot/grub/grub.cfg.
It was then modified by leah in 2014 who removed most of my work from
it. Details can be seen in the following repository:
[1]https://notabug.org/libreboot/obsolete-repository-preserved-for-historical-purposes
It was then picked up as-is in the osbmk repository and then the lbmk
repository that GNU Boot also has the history of.
Since we now have proper copyright history in all the files in
resources/grub/config we can now safely remove the AUTHORS file.
As for the COPYING file, we already have copyright headers and we
already ship a copy of the GPLv3 in our repository.

libre branch of osbmk.
The libre branch was then used as a basis to the (first) commit
89517ed6b9 ("libreboot!").

The GNU Boot project merged several repositories in its main git
repository, each with their separate histories. So far we have:
- the documentation/website that came from Libreboot
- the documentation/website pictures that also came from Libreboot
- the build system that also came from Libreboot (it's called lbmk there).
- some website autotools build system that was made from scratch by me.
The grub.cfg we use comes from the build system repository (lbmk). I
extracted the copyrights from the git commits of this repository.
However the first commit of lbmk (which we also have in our main GNU
Boot repository) is the following:
commit 89517ed6b9
Author: [Leah Rowe]
Date: [2021]
libreboot!
this is forked from the "libre" branch in osboot, which is itself a libre,
deblobbed fork of osboot, a blobbed up fork of libreboot
libreboot needed to be purged clean. this is the new libreboot development
repository. the old one has been abandoned
So I had to continue and look at the libre branch of osboot and
extract the copyrights from its commits as well.
Then I downloaded osbmk (https://notabug.org/osboot/osbmk) and
continued to look.
And here too we need to go beyond the first commit again, because
osbmk is based on 'Libreboot 20160907':
commit df76c3eb63dd8f4979d78ca262218eedb93512ed
Author: [Leah Rowe]
Date: [2020]
Fork Libreboot 20160907 build system. Large parts have been re-written.
This build system builds ROMs for X230, but they are so far untested.
Use at your own risk!
I still need to write documentation and do testing.
SOON: T60 with ATI GPU
We can find Libreboot 20160907 in
https://notabug.org/libreboot/obsolete-repository-preserved-for-historical-purposes
And then we end up with this commit:
commit cee90ae0fce6d6aee8d78969b60c952c8890abd6
Author: [Leah Rowe]
Date: [2014]
Libreboot release 6 beta 1.
Before that Libreboot only had tarball releases and the very first
tarball release was based on build scripts/Makefiles made by me, and
the git repository having the GRUB configuration can be found in
Libreboot 20131212 in X60/build-makefiles.

Before being merged with the commit
dc6e1f32c1 ("Import website-build to
build the GNU Boot website."), website-build was a separate git
repository.
And so, even after the merge, until the commit
20d122e94a ("website-build: use website
from local git repository."), it still worked in the same way and
still downloaded the website from git.
This prevented merging the website and website-build directories
together as the GNU Boot repository also needed to be a valid Untitled
website repository as well.
Now after this commit, the website is built from the same git tree, so
we can simply adjust the build scripts to be able to move things
around.
In addition of making things more clear for contributors, it also
simplify the migration to haunt as with haunt we typically have the
haunt.cfg (and the autotools build code if needed) code in the top
directory and the markdown files in a subdirectory.

GNU Boot can be installed on some I945 ThinkPads without disassembling
them. To do that it requires both a patched flashrom and bucts.
This build them and also integrate Guix in GNU Boot as a dependency to
build them.
This will enable us to later on ship these utilities and then update
the installation instructions to use them somehow.
It also makes sure that we have proper authorship of the patch used
for flashrom and also unify the two flashrom patches not to require
two different flashrom binaries.

Without this fix, running shellcheck -x on
resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh returns many errors.
For each guix version declaration we have something like that:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 21:
guix_v0_0="6365068393254e1131ab80eb0d68a759e7fd2256"
^-------^ SC2034 (warning): guix_v0_0 appears unused.
Verify use (or export if used externally).
and here the variables are actually used in this code:
guix_version_commit()
{
version="$1"
eval echo "$(echo \$guix_"${version}" | sed 's#\.#_#g')"
}
so we workaround by disabling that test for each version declaration.
Then shellcheck cannot find "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 91:
. "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile
^-------------------------^ SC1091 (info):
Not following: ./etc/profile: openBinaryFile:
does not exist (No such file or directory)
so we disabled that test for this line.
After that we have many issues with quoting like this one:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 104:
eval echo $(echo \$guix_"${version}" | sed 's#\.#_#g')
^-- SC2046 (warning):
Quote this to prevent word splitting.
or this one:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 233:
major="$(echo ${version} | awk -F . '{print $1}')"
^--------^ SC2086 (info):
Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.
these were fixed.
We also improved a test by using grep -q:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 272:
elif [ -n "$(echo ${revision} | grep '\.')" ] ; then
^-- SC2143 (style):
Use grep -q instead of comparing output with [ -n .. ]
And finally in guix_version_commit a sed was avoided by using bash
replacement, and when that was not possible (in guix_next_version),
the shellcheck test for that was disabled.
