These functions are usually provided by gcc lib, which is not supposed to be included on embedded platforms. This patch adds a no thrills C implementation. Other than MIPS platforms are happy using the gcc library provided implementation, but in case of Chrome OS MIPS toolchain the libraries are compiled with the small GOT, such that the entire data segment does not fit. With this implementation mips, arm and x86 targets build fine. BRANCH=none BUG=chrome-os-partner:31438 TEST=checked the logic by incorporating this code into a C file and running a loop continuously comparing random inputs' division and left and right shift results. The test ran for extended periods of time without failure.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 http://coreboot.org for details on coreboot. Installation ------------ $ git clone http://review.coreboot.org/p/coreboot.git $ cd coreboot/payloads/libpayload $ make menuconfig $ make $ sudo make install (optional, will install into /opt per default) As libpayload is for 32bit x86 systems only, you might have to install the 32bit libgcc version, otherwise your payloads will fail to compile. On Debian systems you'd do 'apt-get install gcc-multilib' for example. 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 http://www.coreboot.org/Libpayload. For additional information, patches, and discussions, please join the coreboot mailing list at http://coreboot.org/Mailinglist, where most libpayload developers are subscribed.
