We provide the EDK2 firmware binaries in pc-bios/. When we update the roms/edk2/ submodule, we need to rebuild the firmware binaries. To avoid the burden on a single developer, this series add a GitLab job to generate reproducible EDK2 firmware binaries.
The job is only on specific conditions: - roms/edk2/ is updated - the branch or tag start with 'edk2' - 'edk2' appears in last commit description Using ccache this job takes 32minutes on a GitLab free runner. The proposed procedure to update the EDK2 submodule is: - add a commit to update roms/edk2/ submodule - push to gitlab - download generated artifacts (only available if job succeed) - unzip the firmware binaries from the artifacts archive - test the binaries - add a commit with the binaries, referencing the ci job url. Example of job that built the edk2-stable201905 firmwares: https://gitlab.com/philmd/qemu/-/jobs/395017298 The first patch is already reviewed, but is a prerequisite to use the Ubuntu docker image to build, so I included it.
