[build] Allow GITVERSION to be specified as an environment variable

2026-01-25T11:27:14+00:00

When using GitHub Actions with a job container that does not have the git tools installed, the actions/checkout step will download a snapshot instead of performing a git clone, and will therefore not create a .git directory. Allow the GITVERSION variable to be specified externally, so that the test suite logs can still display the commit of the build being tested. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[build] Do not use "git describe" to construct version number

2026-01-21T22:44:13+00:00

Using "git describe" to automatically construct the version number has caused more problems than it has solved. In particular, it causes errors when building from a shallow clone of the repository, which is a common scenario in modern automated build environments. Define the base version number (currently 1.21.1+) as a set of hardcoded constants within the Makefile, to be updated whenever a release is made. It is extremely useful to have the git commit ID present in the startup banner. End users tend to provide screenshots of failures, and having the commit ID printed at startup makes it trivial to identify which version of the code is in use. Identify the git version (if building from a git tree) by directly reading from .git/HEAD and associated files. This allows the git commit ID to potentially be included even if the build environment does not have the git tools installed. Use the default shallow clone in the GitHub Actions workflow, since we no longer require access to the full commit history. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[build] Mark existing files as explicitly forbidden for Secure Boot

2026-01-13T15:18:16+00:00

The third-party 802.11 stack and NFS protocol code are known to include multiple potential vulnerabilities and are explicitly forbidden from being included in Secure Boot signed builds. This is currently handled at the per-directory level by defining a list of source directories (SRCDIRS_INSEC) that are to be excluded from Secure Boot builds. Annotate all files in these directories with FILE_SECBOOT() to convey this information to the new per-file Secure Boot permissibility check, and remove the old separation between SRCDIRS and SRCDIRS_INSEC.

[uart] Allow for the existence of non-16550 UARTs

2025-06-20T11:52:04+00:00

Remove the assumption that all platforms use a fixed number of 16550 UARTs identifiable by a simple numeric index. Create an abstraction allowing for dynamic instantiation and registration of any number of arbitrary UART models. The common case of the serial console on x86 uses a single fixed UART specified at compile time. Avoid unnecessarily dragging in the dynamic instantiation code in this use case by allowing COMCONSOLE to refer to a single static UART object representing the relevant port. When selecting a UART by command-line argument (as used in the "gdbstub serial " command), allow the UART to be specified as either a numeric index (to retain backwards compatiblity) or a case-insensitive port name such as "COM2".

[riscv] Add a .pf32 build target for padded parallel flash images

2025-05-13T17:25:24+00:00

QEMU's -pflash option requires an image that has been padded to the exact expected size (32MB for all of the supported RISC-V virtual machines). Add a .pf32 build target which is simply the equivalent .sbi target padded to 32MB in size, to simplify testing. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[build] Allow for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of util/zbin

2025-05-06T11:11:02+00:00

Parsing ELF data is simpler if we don't have to build a single binary to handle both 32-bit and 64-bit ELF formats. Allow for separate 32-bit and 64-bit binaries built from util/zbin.c (as is already done for util/elf2efi.c). Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[build] Allow for per-architecture cross-compilation prefixes

2024-10-29T14:11:08+00:00

We currently require the variable CROSS (or CROSS_COMPILE) to be set to specify the global cross-compilation prefix. This becomes cumbersome when developing across multiple CPU architectures, requiring frequent editing of build command lines and preventing incompatible architectures from being built with a single command. Allow a default cross-compilation prefix for each architecture to be specified via the CROSS_COMPILE_ variables. These may then be provided as environment variables, e.g. using export CROSS_COMPILE_arm32=arm-linux-gnu- export CROSS_COMPILE_arm64=aarch64-linux-gnu- export CROSS_COMPILE_loong64=loongarch64-linux-gnu- export CROSS_COMPILE_riscv32=riscv64-linux-gnu- export CROSS_COMPILE_riscv64=riscv64-linux-gnu- This change requires some portions of the Makefile to be rearranged, to allow for the fact that $(CROSS_COMPILE) may not have been set until the build directory has been parsed to determine the CPU architecture.

[build] Avoid invoking genkeymap.py via Perl

The build process currently invokes the Python genkeymap.py script via the Perl executable. Strangely, this appears to work. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown
