28 Release status
29 ==============
30
31 Information about status will be reported during builds; if a board is
32 marked as stable, the build proceeds without further input. If the board is
33 marked anything other, a warning appears asking if you wish to proceed; to
34 disable these warnings, do this before building (not recommended):
35
36 export LBMK_STATUS=n
37
38 In Libreboot, we specify: `stable`, `unstable`, `broken` or `untested`.
39 The "unstable" marking means that the board boots mostly/entirely reliably
40 annd should be safe to use, but may have a few issues, but nothing which would,
41 for example, cause safety issues e.g. thermal, data reliability etc.
42
43 The `broken` setting means that a given board will likely brick if flashed.
44 The `untested` setting means untested.
45
46 Release status is always set with regards to the current lbmk revision, on
47 the theory that the current revision is being used to generate a full release.

39 is passed, where THREADS is the number of threads. This is also set when running

34 The error above, in the linked bug report, occurs on `grub_free()`
35 or `grub_realloc()` and could be caused by anything in GRUB; the user tested
36 on memtest86plus and got no errors, and SeaBIOS works; BIOS GRUB (from a distro)
37 also works, where GRUB doesn't need as many drivers; we suspect this may be
38 a use-after-free in a GRUB driver, or otherwise something writing to heap memory
39 wrongly. The bug is not yet known, only the symptom (the fatal error message).
34 *This warning applies to Libreboot 20240504 and other recent releases.*
35
36 **We have since fully mitigated this bug**; SeaBIOS is now the primary payload on
37 all boards, with GRUB still available in the boot select menu, and we have
38 identified that it was caused by the xHCI driver which has since been removed
39 for the affected machines(machines which don't have xHCI anyway, but they
40 touch code that does run on the given machines). The xHCI support works fine
41 on some newer machines and will be re-added there by making GRUB multi-tree,
42 so that different boards can use different versions of GRUB. This will be done,
43 and present in the next Libreboot release after 20240504, in addition to fixing
44 the actual bug itself. **For now, there are no problems!**
