ConfigFS USB attrs are customizable based on the `deviceinfo_usb_*` variables,
however some downstream kernels (e.g: msm-3.18) doesn't use configfs, instead
uses the traditional Android USB Gadget.
Based on `deviceinfo_usb_{idVendor/idProduct}` variables, we can change the USB
vendor and product.
So that on these devices, we can make it appear on USB bus as the correct USB
vendor/product ID, not "Google Inc. Nexus 4 (fastboot)"

At the moment, a full file system check is forced even if the
file system is marked clean (i.e. it was properly unmounted the
last time it was used). On large file systems with slow I/O
(e.g. SD cards), this can take a significant amount of time.
Removing the -f option of e2fsck allows skipping the full
file system check if it is marked clean, speeding up the boot time.
Some devices' downstream kernels may have different RNDIS/functionfs
drivers (ex. QCRNDIS) that require different values for some
configfs gadget attributes. Make it possible to customize with
deviceinfo file from device- package.
The idea is that each device- package can optionally specify a
bunch of `deviceinfo_usb_*` variables to customize the way it is
visible on USB bus. The ability to override
`deviceinfo_usb_rndis_function` is essential to make downstream
sdm660 based device to appear on USB bus.
While at it, make `idVendor`, `idProduct` and `serialnumber` also
customizable. So that we can make, for example, PineTab appear on
USB bus as PineTab, not as "Google Inc. Nexus 4 (fastboot)".
Mainline U-Boot looks for the device tree blob in the "second" area
of the Android boot image (see https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1025211/).
Add an option "deviceinfo_bootimg_dtb_second" to place the device DTB there.
Currently, the USB networking setup using configfs does not configure
a "serialnumber" for the USB gadget. This means that an empty
serial number will be sent during USB enumeration.
This is usually not a problem, but it seems to cause issues under
special circumstances (on asus-me176c on one of my PCs).
The USB Gadget configfs documentation also suggests setting
the "serialnumber":
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_configfs.txt
It can be any string, so we can just set it as "postmarketOS" like
the manufacturer.
The initramfs needs ext4 (to mount the rootfs) and usb_f_rndis
(to enable USB networking on devices that use USB configfs).
If these are built as modules, they need to be included in initramfs.

We'll switch from whatever version of shellcheck is packaged in Debian
stretch to the newer version in Alpine edge in the next commit. Adjust
postmarketos-mkinitfs first, so it doesn't report any errors.
Seems like VIA/Wondermedia 8850 devices do not boot with the default
address. Add new deviceinfo_legacy_uboot_load_address variable to
allow setting a custom one.
The DRM module itself can not do anything without a DRM driver.
It just takes up precious space (about ~5 MB for aarch64)
on the boot partition.
Devices that do include the appropriate DRM driver via
deviceinfo_modules_initfs will automatically pull in
"drm" and "drm_kms_helper" as dependencies, if needed.
So there is no need to depend on it explicitly.
Use deviceinfo_framebuffer_landscape during splash screen generation.
Also add the postmarketos-splash arguments variable to the computation
of the hash for the cache.
Adjust device-pine-pinetab to use the new variable, and therefore rotate
its splash screen.

Currently we rely on the fact, that the kernel asks user space to load
the firmware for it, so we can use the /lib/firmware/postmarketos
directory for firmware.
As the kernel has support for loading the firmware itself since
v3.7, and the parameter for adding an additional path to the search
paths was added with v3.10, we can use that to not rely on
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER being set.
We don't need to append the dtb to the kernel image in all cases, with
e.g. the u-boot bootloader we can load the dtb seperately from the
kernel image. Introduce a new variable deviceinfo_append_dtb, if set to
"true", append the dtb, otherwise just copy the dtb file to the boot
partition.
Fixes#260

- main: postmarketos-mkinitfs: Add /run
Create the /run directory in the initramfs so that cryptsetup doesn't
crash on not being able to create /run/cryptsetup for lockfiles
- device: pine-dontbeevil: Remove workaround for touchscreen
- main: linux-postmarketos-allwinner: Implemented supplies for touchscreen
This uses a slightly newer commit from the kernel repo that implements
requesting a regulator in the touchscreen driver
- device: pine-dontbeevil: Remove ethernet from initramfs
This actually makes debugging more complicated since networkmanager wont
touch the ethernet adapter afterwards and the initramfs can be debugged
over uart
- temp/u-boot: sync APKBUILD with upstream and update to 2019.04
- main: linux-postmarketos-allwinner: Use 20190521 git version
The postmarketos initramfs is larger than android initramfs. This causes
problems on some devices like htc-ace that have a very small boot
partition (4MB in htc-ace). I've been able to make the boot image small
enough to fit by compressing initramfs using lzma.
With this change it should be possible to change the compression in
deviceinfo like this: deviceinfo_initfs_compression='lzma'
or even deviceinfo_initfs_compression='lzma -9'. When no option is
specified it defaults to 'gzip -1'.
I've also added dependencies to compression utilities for all possible
initramfs compression algorithms.
Adds a new initfs hook, verbose-initfs, which doesn't do anything on its
own. Modify postmarketos-mkinitfs to check if this hook is installed and
if so run `set -x`.
It's done this way so verbose boot is enabled as early as possible,
before hooks are loaded.
Tested on the qemu-aarch64 device.
- pmboostrap initfs hook_add verbose-initfs
- pmbootstrap qemu --arch aarch64
- confirmed that commands are echoed to the console
ConfigFS expects idVendor and idProduct values to be prefixed with 0x.
Without this change, google-crosshatch shows as a device with 0:0 as the
idVendor/idProduct in lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0000:0000
This confuses VirtualBox: it has trouble detaching this device from
a virtual machine, so one must manually use ifconfig to bring down the
old USB network connection before reattaching.
With this change, the idVendor/idProduct is correct:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 18d1:d001 Google Inc.
This issue also seems to affect other devices with ConfigFS, such as the
Nexus 5:
https://matrix.to/#/!clcCCNrLZYwdfNqkkR:disroot.org/$15487159511194991apGpy:matrix.org
Also noticed that the debug-shell hook wasn't sourcing the deviceinfo
and still showing the splashscreen even with
deviceinfo_no_framebuffer="true", now is fixed and tested.
Additionally, fix a typo in the existing
"NOTE: Skipping framebuffer setup..." message.
Fix Nexus 5 (hammerhead) boot and framebuffer issues at startup by
waiting up to 10 seconds until the rootfs and /dev/fb0 have been
found. Waiting for the framebuffer device can be disabled by setting
deviceinfo_no_framebuffer=true in the deviceinfo.
* Added linux-postmarketos-allwinner kernel
* Added copy of alpines u-boot package with pine-a64lts support
* Changed postmarketos-mkinitfs to add the plain .dtb file to the boot partition
Follow-up to !1373, where `pmbootstrap flasher flash_system` was
replaced with `pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs`. We still had used
terms like "system partition" in a lot of places.
This commit replaces it everywhere, so it's clear that we're talking
about the pmOS rootfs (which may or may not be installed to Android's
system partition).
* Travis and Coveralls badges
* aports: instead of <https://github.com/postmarketOS>, use
<https://postmarketos.org>
* References to full URLs to issues and pull requests replaced with
a hash and the number
* grsec check: simplify error message, remove link to github issue
(nobody is using that anymore anyway)
Alpine ships `mkbootimg` with the `android-tools` package now. This
conflicts with the `mkbootimg` fork from osm0sis (see #441).
Changes:
* Rename `mkbootimg` to `mkbootimg-osm0sis` (aport and binary name)
* `mkbootimg-osm0sis`: provides `mkbootimg` now (so we don't need to
change all the device aports), update version to 2018.05.10
* Adjust our `mkinitfs` script to call `mkbootimg-osm0sis`
* Better aport description
* pkgrel_bump testcase: don't fail on deleted aport
The `msm-fb-refresher` updates the screen for msm based devices. It is
not needed for all devices, so we had some extra code in the initramfs,
that would only add it when the `deviceinfo_msm_refresher` variable was
set. However, we are able now to add files to initramfs hooks, so this
hack can be removed and simplify everything.
Changes:
* Remove `deviceinfo_msm_refresher` from all deviceinfos
* Add sanity check for it
* Move all `deviceinfo` sanity checks to an extra function
* `postmarketos-mkinitfs`: remove code for msm refresher
* `msm-fb-refresher`: add initramfs hook
* As discussed in IRC/matrix, we're removing `linux-postmarketos-lts`
for now. The kernel isn't used right now, and we save lots of
maintenance effort with not updating it every week or so.
* new config option `"kernel"` with possible values:
`"downstream", "mainline", "stable"` (downstream is always
`linux-$devicename`)
* ask for the kernel during `pmbootstrap init` if the device package
has kernel subpackages and install it in `_install.py`
* postmarketos-mkinitfs: display note instead of exit with error when
the `deviceinfo_dtb` file is missing (because we expect it to be
missing for downstream kernels)
* device-sony-amami:
* add kernel subpackages for downstream, mainline
* set `deviceinfo_dtb`
* device-qemu-amd64: add kernel subpackages for stable, lts, mainline
* test cases and test data for new functions
* test case that checks all aports for right usage of the feature:
* don't mix specifying kernels in depends *and* subpackages
* 1 kernel in depends is maximum
* kernel subpackages must have a valid name
* Test if devices packages reference at least one kernel
* Remove `_build_device_depends_note()` which informs the user that
`--ignore-depends` can be used with device packages to avoid building
the kernel. The idea was to make the transition easier after a change
we did months ago, and now the kernel doesn't always get built before
building the device package so it's not relevant anymore.
* pmb/chroot/other.py:
* Add autoinstall=True to kernel_flavors_installed(). When the flag
is set, the function makes sure that at least one kernel for the
device is installed.
* Remove kernel_flavor_autodetect() function, wherever it was used,
it has been replaced with kernel_flavors_installed()[0].
* pmb.helpers.frontend.py: remove code to install at least one kernel,
kernel_flavors_installed() takes care of that now.
* Add charging-sdl package
* Include charging-sdl into the initramfs-extra
* [initramfs] Detect charging mode and use triggerhappy to start
charging-sdl when the power key is pressed
When building device packages, the postmarketos-mkinitfs package gets
installed as dependency of postmarketos-base. It must not try to
create an initramfs at this point, when there is not deviceinfo file.
We build the initramfs during the installation, so it's fine.
Added [skip ci] because linux kernels and KDE updates are currently
getting built for the binary repository (so Travis couldn't finish
anyway).
* Fail if mkbootimg/uboot-tools are not installed, but creating a
boot.img file / u-boot legacy image was requested via deviceinfo
(fixes#312)
* Fail if /boot/dt.img is missing, but we have a qcdt device
* Fail if the dtb file specified in deviceinfo does not exist
* Fail if mkbootimg etc. exit with error code
* Don't try to add the ext4 module into the initramfs. We always
compile it into the kernel. Instead, kconfig_check makes sure it
is enabled now. (fixes#1037)
* Add a note that modprobe warnings can be ignored mostly
Add a blobtools option to the deviceinfo file for creating specific
blobs for the Asus TF101 tablet. This will make it easier to flash
afterwards with ADB.
* Changed usb-shell behavior, it wait for some user action before continue booting
* Rename usb-shell to debug-shell and changed port to 23
* Add `20-debug-shell.sh` script to static code analysis
* Enable eth0 interface in initramfs (qemu)
* Add additional script to run a shell in order to be able to kill it from a telnet session
This causes initramfs to skip calling 'kpartx' when pmOS has been
installed on an external disk (e.g. sdcard). Fixes mounting pmOS_boot
by label (#774).
This removes a few globs from the mkinitramfs module copy part. This is an issue
in linux-postmarketos since it will copy gpu drivers for all possible hardware to the
initramfs.
This should be done in the deviceinfo variables for the modules instead and is
already done for the current devices that use module loading. This changes the
initramfs (uncompressed) from 16 MB to 11 MB just because the qemu graphics
drivers aren't included.
'install' does not properly handle symlinks, it copies the entire file
instead of a symlink to it. This PR uses `cp -a` to preserve symlinks.
For example, with `install`, the files libc.musl-armhf.so.1 and
ld-musl-armhf.so.1 are the same size, despite the fact that in rootfs
libc.musl-armhf.so.1 is actually a symlink to ld-musl-armhf.so.1.
According to @drebrez research, the initramfs size shrunk from
1 567 930 to 1 168 591.
* Add msm-fb-refresher package and initfs config
* Bump version for pmos-mkinitfs
* Create msm-fb-refresher openrc service
* kill refresher when initfs is done
When modules are surrounded with quotes, modprobe seems to be treating
them as all one module and none of them are actually loaded.
On the N900, where a watchdog module MUST be loaded on boot, this
results in the device shutting down after 30 seconds. This commit
corrects this in init.sh.in
* Initial Mozilla Flame packages
* Update dtbtool to use LineageOS upstream
* Use mkbootimg --dt flag only when deviceinfo_bootimg_qcdt is defined
* Update mkbootimg to use LineageOS upstream
* Add sparse image flashing on device-mozilla-flame
* Only support SD card install on Mozilla Flame
* Remove useless profile.sh on mozilla flame
* Package DTBs in /usr/lib/linux-mozilla-flame/
* Build and install modules in linux-mozilla-flame
* Partially resolve#338: Configfs network setup was broken
* Ignore shellcheck warning
...because if we do what shellcheck recommends here, we end up with
exactly the code which we're reverting in this PR.
* Automatically compute the minimum size for the partitions
* Automatically resize the pmOS_root partition during the boot process
* Resize root partition only if there is unallocated space at the end of the device.
* Added more echos to make debugging easier while looking at the pmOS_init.log.
* Updated static_code_analysis.sh script to run shellcheck with `-x` option.
