+In the MSP430 architecture, interrupt handlers have a special calling
+convention. You can use the `"msp430-interrupt"` ABI to make the compiler apply
+the right calling convention to the interrupt handlers you define.

 ------------------------
+
+When emitting PTX code, all vanilla Rust functions (`fn`) get translated to
+"device" functions. These functions are *not* callable from the host via the
+CUDA API so a crate with only device functions is not too useful!
+
+OTOH, "global" functions *can* be called by the host; you can think of them
+as the real public API of your crate. To produce a global function use the
+`"ptx-kernel"` ABI.

 # `compiler_builtins_lib`
 
-This feature is internal to the Rust compiler and is not intended for general use.
+The tracking issue for this feature is: None.
 
 ------------------------
+
+This feature is required to link to the `compiler_builtins` crate which contains
+"compiler intrinsics". Compiler intrinsics are software implementations of basic
+operations like multiplication of `u64`s. These intrinsics are only required on
+platforms where these operations don't directly map to a hardware instruction.
+
+You should never need to explicitly link to the `compiler_builtins` crate when
+building "std" programs as `compiler_builtins` is already in the dependency
+graph of `std`. But you may need it when building `no_std` **binary** crates. If
+you get a *linker* error like:
+
+``` text
+$PWD/src/main.rs:11: undefined reference to `__aeabi_lmul'
+$PWD/src/main.rs:11: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'
+```
+
+That means that you need to link to this crate.
+
+When you link to this crate, make sure it only appears once in your crate
+dependency graph. Also, it doesn't matter where in the dependency graph, you
+place the `compiler_builtins` crate.
+
+<!-- NOTE(ignore) doctests don't support `no_std` binaries -->
