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. More specifically, u-boot uses -mregparm. When the u-boot and libgcc 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 borrows (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. To prevent symbols which are provided by libgcc but not currently wrapped (or even known about) from being silently linked against by code generated by libgcc, a new copy of libgcc is created where all the symbols are prefixed with __normal_. Without being purposefully wrapped, these symbols will cause linker errors instead of silently introducing very subtle, confusing bugs. Another approach would be to whitelist symbols from libgcc and strip out all the others. The problem with this approach is that it requires the white listed symbols to be specified three times, once for objcopy, once so the linker inserts the wrapped, and once to generate the wrapper itself, while this implementation needs it to be listed only twice. There isn't much tangible difference in what each approach produces, so this one was preferred.
