Documentation: Finalize 24.05 release notes
These are the final release notes for the 24.05 release before the tree is marked with a tag, completing the release. We will update the notes with final numbers and anything else after the release is tagged. The 24.05 release will be announced a week later, barring any issues that require an updated release tag.

Upcoming release - coreboot 24.05
|
coreboot 24.05 release
|
||||||
========================================================================
|
========================================================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The 24.05 release is scheduled for Mid May, 2024
|
The coreboot project is pleased to announce the release of coreboot version
|
||||||
|
24.05. This update represents three months of hard work and commitment from our
|
||||||
|
community. With over 20 new members and contributions from more than a hundred
|
||||||
|
fifty other people in coding, reviewing patches, and other areas, this release
|
||||||
|
showcases the strength of our collaborative efforts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With this release, coreboot has expanded its support, adding 25 new platforms or
|
||||||
|
variants and 2 new processors, further demonstrating our dedication to offering
|
||||||
|
flexible and adaptable firmware solutions. From laptops and servers to embedded
|
||||||
|
devices, coreboot 24.05 is designed to enhance a variety of hardware platforms
|
||||||
|
with its strong features.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Update this document with changes that should be in the release notes.
|
We are grateful to all the contributors who have made this release possible.
|
||||||
|
Your expertise and collaborative efforts continue to propel the coreboot project
|
||||||
|
forward. We value the participation of everyone in the community, from long-time
|
||||||
|
developers to those new to the project, and encourage you to explore the new
|
||||||
|
opportunities that coreboot 24.05 offers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Please use Markdown.
|
Our next release will be 24.08, scheduled for mid-August.
|
||||||
* See the past few 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.
|
|
||||||
* Note that all changes before the release are done are marked upcoming.
|
|
||||||
A final version of the notes are done after the release.

### Mark 64-bit support as stable

||||||
* This section should have full descriptions and can or should have

A significant amount of work has gone into fully supporting 64-bit coreboot
|
||||||

|
builds. There are still additional pieces that are happening, but with SMM
|
||||||
|
holding page tables itself, we can consider SMM support stable and safe enough
|
||||||
|
for general use.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### security/tpm: support compiling in multiple TPM drivers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Previously, boards could only be built with code supporting TPM 1.x or TPM 2.x
|
||||||
|
specifications. This has been updated with code allowing both to be built in
|
||||||
|
simultaneously, allowing the system to query the TPM. For systems with
|
||||||
|
soldered-down TPMs or firmware TPM solutions, it’s still possible to specify a
|
||||||
|
single TPM version so that the code for the other version isn’t included.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### arch/arm64: Add EL1/EL2/EL3 support for arm64
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Previously, arch/arm64 required coreboot to run on EL3 due to EL3 register
|
||||||
|
access. This might be an issue when, for example, one boots into TF-A first and
|
||||||
|
drops into EL2 for coreboot afterwards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This patch aims at making arch/arm64 more versatile by removing the current EL3
|
||||||
|
constraint and allowing arm64 coreboot to run on EL1, EL2 and EL3.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The strategy is to add a Kconfig option (ARM64_CURRENT_EL) which allows us to
|
||||||
|
specify coreboot's EL upon entry. Based on that, we access the appropriate ELx
|
||||||
|
registers. So, for example, when running coreboot on EL1, we would not access
|
||||||
|
vbar_el3 or vbar_el2 but instead vbar_el1. This way, we don't generate faults
|
||||||
|
when accessing higher-EL registers.
