Jakub Czapiga 3d91b47b42 libpayload: Add mock architecture
Mock architecture can be used to build libpayload using host compiler.
It can be enabled by setting ARCH_MOCK=y in the dotconfig. It sets
LITTLE_ENDIAN=y, as most machines these days use little-endian CPUs.
Libpayload will use HOSTCC as CC, HOSTLD as LD, etc. instead of tools
provided by xcompile.
Mock architecture configuration can be used by payloads for testing
purposes. Thanks to it, tests can be architecture-independent,
and can be executed without requiring compatible Kconfig options,
e.g. ARCH_ARM64=y for ARM64 machine. However, one has to provide
implementation for most architecture-specific functions present
in arch/* directories.

libpayload README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

libpayload is a minimal library to support standalone payloads
that can be booted with firmware like coreboot. It handles the setup
code, and provides common C library symbols such as malloc() and printf().

Note: This is _not_ a standard library for use with an operating system,
rather it's only useful for coreboot payload development!
See https://www.coreboot.org for details on coreboot.


Installation
------------

 $ git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git

 $ cd coreboot/payloads/libpayload

 $ make menuconfig

 $ make

 $ make install (optional, will install into ./install per default)

On x86 systems, libpayload will always be 32-bit even if your host OS runs
in 64-bit, so you might have to install the 32-bit libgcc version.
On Debian systems you'd do 'apt-get install gcc-multilib' for example.

Run 'make distclean' before switching boards. This command will remove
your current .config file, so you need 'make menuconfig' again or
'make defconfig' in order to set up configuration. Default configuration
is based on 'configs/defconfig'. See the configs/ directory for examples
of configuration.


Usage
-----

Here's an example of a very simple payload (hello.c) and how to build it:

 #include <libpayload.h>

 int main(void)
 {
     printf("Hello, world!\n");
     return 0;
 }

Building the payload using the 'lpgcc' compiler wrapper:

 $ lpgcc -o hello.elf hello.c

Please see the sample/ directory for details.


Website and Mailing List

The main website is https://www.coreboot.org/Libpayload.

coreboot mailing list at https://www.coreboot.org/Mailinglist, where most
libpayload developers are subscribed.
