Raul E Rangel 80d5c19590 libpayload/x86/exception: Add ability to handle user defined interrupts
I need to setup the APIC timer to fire interrupts. I would like to reuse
the existing interrupt table. So I extended it to support user defined
interrupts. I just added all 255 vectors so there wouldn't need to be
any additional build time configuration.

I'm going to deprecate exception_install_hook and remove it in a follow
up. It will be replaced with set_interrupt_handler. This way the
exception lookup does not have to manage a list of callbacks, or have to
worry about the order they are processed.

BUG=b:109749762
TEST=Wrote an interrupt handler and fired an APIC timer interrupt and
verified that vector 32 was returned.

libpayload README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

libpayload is a minimal library to support standalone payloads
that can be booted with firmware like coreboot. It handles the setup
code, and provides common C library symbols such as malloc() and printf().

Note: This is _not_ a standard library for use with an operating system,
rather it's only useful for coreboot payload development!
See https://www.coreboot.org for details on coreboot.


Installation
------------

 $ git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot.git

 $ cd coreboot/payloads/libpayload

 $ make menuconfig

 $ make

 $ sudo make install (optional, will install into /opt per default)

As libpayload is for 32bit x86 systems only, you might have to install the
32bit libgcc version, otherwise your payloads will fail to compile.
On Debian systems you'd do 'apt-get install gcc-multilib' for example.


Usage
-----

Here's an example of a very simple payload (hello.c) and how to build it:

 #include <libpayload.h>

 int main(void)
 {
     printf("Hello, world!\n");
     return 0;
 }

Building the payload using the 'lpgcc' compiler wrapper:

 $ lpgcc -o hello.elf hello.c

Please see the sample/ directory for details.
