Gabe Black be8c7a8f32 ARM: Use local versions of libgcc functions instead of linking against libgcc.
The flags used to compile libgcc may make it incompatible with the code it's
linked against, and/or the hardware it's going to run on. Rather than try to
tease the right libgcc from the compiler, lets just leave it out and use our
own implementations of the necessary functions.

Most of these implementations were taken from the Linux kernel, except for
uldivmod.S which was taken from a CL originally written for U-Boot by
Che-Liang Chiou in December of 2010. It was modified to not use the CLZ
instruction on machines that don't have it, anything earlier than ARMv5. The
top block was taken from an earlier version of the same CL which didn't use
CLZ in that spot. The later block was written from scratch.

BUG=None
TEST=Built and booted into the bootblock on nyan. Ran a series of tests which
divided and modded a 64 bit value by various 32 bit values which were powers
of 2. Confirmed that this function was used and that the returned value was
correct. Printed decimal and hex versions of some values and verified that
they equaled each other. Built and booted on pit with serial enabled.
BRANCH=None

coreboot README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
(firmware) found in most computers.  coreboot performs a little bit of
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
payload.

With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic,
coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly
firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom
bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or
UEFI. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary
in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space
required.

coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.


Payloads
--------

After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any
desired "payload" can be started by coreboot.

See http://www.coreboot.org/Payloads for a list of supported payloads.


Supported Hardware
------------------

coreboot supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards.

For details please consult:

 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
 * http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices


Build Requirements
------------------

 * gcc / g++
 * make

Optional:

 * doxygen (for generating/viewing documentation)
 * iasl (for targets with ACPI support)
 * gdb (for better debugging facilities on some targets)
 * ncurses (for 'make menuconfig')
 * flex and bison (for regenerating parsers)


Building coreboot
-----------------

Please consult http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO for details.


Testing coreboot Without Modifying Your Hardware
------------------------------------------------

If you want to test coreboot without any risks before you really decide
to use it on your hardware, you can use the QEMU system emulator to run
coreboot virtually in QEMU.

Please see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU for details.


Website and Mailing List
------------------------

Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development
guidelines and more can be found on the coreboot website:

You can contact us directly on the coreboot mailing list:
