Hi Thomas,
Sorry for going quiet for so long; a lot of change going on here.
Thanks for the patch; much tidier!
I'm
not in a position to work on this board now, the project taking a
different direction altogether; however, I have found time for a sneaky
test of the patch using the internal toolchain, and it seems fine.
The objdump showing that udivsi3 no longer has CLZ instructions.
arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi-objdump -d u-boot | grep "20126c1c:" -A 10
20126c1c: e2512001 subs r2, r1, #1
20126c20: 012fff1e bxeq lr
20126c24: 3a000036 bcc 20126d04 <__udivsi3+0xe8>
20126c28: e1500001 cmp r0, r1
20126c2c: 9a000022 bls 20126cbc <__udivsi3+0xa0>
20126c30: e1110002 tst r1, r2
20126c34: 0a000023 beq 20126cc8 <__udivsi3+0xac>
20126c38: e311020e tst r1, #-536870912 ; 0xe0000000
20126c3c: 01a01181 lsleq r1, r1, #3
20126c40: 03a03008 moveq r3, #8
20126c44: 13a03001 movne r3, #1
Selecting Sourcery CodeBench 2013.05 external toolchain had the buildroot make attempt end with:
LD vmlinux
SYSMAP System.map
SYSMAP .tmp_System.map
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/Image
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.o
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:936: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `clz r5,r4'
And using it for u-boot gave me:
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objdump -d u-boot | grep "20126bc0:" -A 10
20126bc0: e2512001 subs r2, r1, #1
20126bc4: 012fff1e bxeq lr
20126bc8: 3a000074 bcc 20126da0 <__udivsi3+0x1e0>
20126bcc: e1500001 cmp r0, r1
20126bd0: 9a00006b bls 20126d84 <__udivsi3+0x1c4>
20126bd4: e1110002 tst r1, r2
20126bd8: 0a00006c beq 20126d90 <__udivsi3+0x1d0>
20126bdc: e16f3f10 clz r3, r0
20126be0: e16f2f11 clz r2, r1
I hope this tells you what you wanted to know, in spite of not being able to run on the hardware.
Adam

Adam,
Did you had the opportunity to test the proposed patch?
