When gcc compiles some 64 bit operations on a 32 bit machine, it generates
calls to small functions instead of instructions which do the job directly.
Those functions are defined in libgcc and transparently provide whatever
functionality was necessary. Unfortunately, u-boot can be built with a
non-standard ABI when libgcc isn't. When the two are linked together, very
confusing bugs can crop up, for instance seemingly normal integer division
or modulus getting the wrong answer or even raising a spurious divide by
zero exception.
This change barrows (steals) a technique and some code from coreboot which
solves this problem by creating wrappers which translate the calling
convention when calling the functions in libgcc. Unfortunately that means that
these instructions which had already been turned into functions have even more
overhead, but more importantly it makes them work properly.
To find all of the functions that needed wrapping, u-boot was compiled without
linking in libgcc. All the symbols the linker complained were undefined were
presumed to be the symbols that are needed from libgcc. These were a subset of
the symbols covered by the coreboot code, so it was used unmodified.
