Upcoming release - coreboot 4.10

coreboot 4.10 release notes
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
The 4.10 release is planned for April/May 2019
|
||||
The 4.10 release covers commit a2faaa9a2 to commit ae317695e3
|
||||
There is a pgp signed 4.10 tag in the git repository, and a branch will
|
||||
be created as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Update this document with changes that should be in the release
|
||||
notes.
|
||||
* Please use Markdown.
|
||||
* See the [4.7](coreboot-4.7-relnotes.md) and [4.9](coreboot-4.9-relnotes.md)
|
||||
release notes for the general format.
|
||||
* The chip and board additions and removals will be updated right
|
||||
before the release, so those do not need to be added.
|
||||
In nearly 8 months since 4.9 we had 198 authors commit 2538 changes
|
||||
to master. Of these, 85 authors made their first commit to coreboot:
|
||||
Welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
Significant changes
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
Between the releases the tree grew by about 11000 lines of code plus
|
||||
5000 lines of comments.
|
||||
|
||||
Again, a big Thank You to all contributors who helped shape the coreboot
|
||||
project, community and code with their effort, no matter if through
|
||||
development, review, testing, documentation or by helping people asking
|
||||
questions on our venues like IRC or our mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
What's New
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the changes were to mainboards, and on the chipset side, lots
|
||||
of activity concentrated on x86. However compared to previous releases
|
||||
activity (and therefore interest, probably) increased in vboot and in
|
||||
non-x86 architectures. However it's harder this time to give this release
|
||||
a single topic like the last: This release accumulates some of everything.
|
||||
|
||||
Clean Up
|
||||
--------
|
||||
As usual, there was a lot of cleaning up going on, and there notably,
|
||||
a good chunk of this year's Google Summer of Code project to clean out
|
||||
the issues reported by Coverity Scan is already in.
|
||||
|
||||
The only larger scale change that was registered in the pre-release
|
||||
notes was also about cleaning up the tree:
|
||||
|
||||
### `device_t` is no more
|
||||
coreboot used to have a data type, `device_t` that changed shape depending on
|
||||
|
|
@ -22,3 +43,96 @@ time when romstage wasn't operated in Cache-As-RAM mode, but compiled with
|
|||
our romcc compiler.
|
||||
|
||||
That data type is now gone.
|
||||
|
||||
Release Notes maintenance
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
Speaking of pre-release notes: After 4.10 we'll start a document for
|
||||
4.11 in the git repository. Feel free to add notable achievements there
|
||||
so we remember to give them a shout out in the next release's notes.
|
||||
|
||||
Known Issues
|
||||
------------
|
||||
Sadly, Google Cyan is broken in this release. It doesn't work with the
|
||||
"C environment" bootblock (as compared to the old romcc type bootblock)
|
||||
which is now the default. Sadly it doesn't help to simply revert that
|
||||
change because doing so breaks other boards.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use Google Cyan with the release (or if
|
||||
you're tracking the master branch), please keep an eye on
|
||||
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/34304 where a solution for this
|
||||
issue is sought.
|
||||
|
||||
Deprecations
|
||||
------------
|
||||
As announced in the 4.9 release notes, there are no deprecations after 4.10.
|
||||
While 4.10 is also released late and we target a 4.11 release in October we
|
||||
nonetheless want to announce deprecations this time: These are under
|
||||
discussion since January, people are working on mitigations for about as long
|
||||
and so it should be possible to resolve the outstanding issues by the end of
|
||||
October.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifically, we want to require code to work with the following Kconfig
|
||||
options so we can remove the options and the code they disable:
|
||||
|
||||
* C\_ENVIRONMENT\_BOOTBLOCK
|
||||
* NO\_CAR\_GLOBAL\_MIGRATION
|
||||
|
||||
These only affect x86. If your platform only works without them, please
|
||||
look into fixing that.

||||
|
||||
