Patch merged into coreboot/master: 79e36d9 Improve how our printk calls do_div by using constants.
the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 79e36d90608a929c33b655c6fb6376f33f332e6f Author: Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich@gmail.com> Date: Wed Jan 30 14:29:34 2013 -0800 Improve how our printk calls do_div by using constants. The do_div code has a nice optimization in it when it is called with constants. The current highly generalized use of it defeats those optimizations and causes trouble on ARM, resulting in a complex and buggy code path. Since we only need to print in bases 8, 10, and 16, do a minor restructuring of the code so that we call do_div with constants. If you need base 2, print in base 16 and do it in your head. :-) This fixes an ongoing problem with ARM, will not harm X86, and will help PPC should we ever want to support it again. Plus, I don't have to ever try to understand the div64 assembly and where it's going wrong :-) Change-Id: I6a480011916eb0834e05c5bb10909d83330fe797 Signed-off-by: Ronald G.
