commit fee9a47058beafa7568e3fc2f3457cefc0f7280d Author: Mathias Krause minipli@googlemail.com Date: Tue Feb 7 19:03:29 2017 +0100
libpayload: x86/main - propagate return value of main()
According to coreboot’s payload API [1], the called payload should be able to return a value via %eax. Support this by changing the prototype of start_main() and pass on the return value of main() to the caller instead of discarding it.
