commit c081e28f39a0440c5f850fe8548dbf89c780e9fe Author: Furquan Shaikh furquan@google.com Date: Thu Oct 30 11:53:38 2014 -0700
x86: Update the check for Forbidden global variables
Add a section .illegal_globals to romstage and check that the section does not contain any variables while creating romstage.
[pg: Handle individual AGESA special cases in the linker script instead of whitelisting everything remotely AGESA related in the Makefile.]
