+Building LLVM libc for UEFI
+===========================
+
+This document will present recipes to build the LLVM C library for UEFI.
+UEFI builds use the same :ref:`cross build<full_cross_build>` support as
+the other targets. However, the UEFI target has the restriction that it *must*
+be built with an up-to-date ``clang`` compiler. This is because UEFI support
+in ``clang`` is still an experimental feature.
+
+Currently, it is only possible to build LLVM libc for UEFI for ``x86_64``
+CPUs. This is due to the target not being enabled for ``aarch64`` and
+``riscv64``.
+
+Once you have finished building, refer to :ref:`libc_uefi_usage` to get started
+with the newly built C library.
+
+Standard runtimes build
+-----------------------
+
+The simplest way to build for UEFI is to use the existing LLVM runtimes
+support. This will automatically handle bootstrapping an up-to-date ``clang``
+compiler and use it to build the C library. The following CMake invocation
+will instruct it to build the ``libc`` runtime targeting ``x86_64`` CPUs.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   $> cd llvm-project  # The llvm-project checkout
+   $> mkdir build
+   $> cd build
+   $> cmake ../llvm -G Ninja                                                 \
+      -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;lld"                                     \
+      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug|Release>  \ # Select build type
+      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<PATH>       \ # Where the libraries will live
+      -DLLVM_DEFAULT_TARGET_TRIPLE=x86_64-unknown-uefi-llvm                  \
+      -DLLVM_RUNTIME_TARGETS=x86_64-unknown-uefi-llvm                        \
+      -DRUNTIMES_x86_64-unknown-uefi-llvm_LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES=libc          \
+      -DRUNTIMES_x86_64-unknown-uefi-llvm_LLVM_LIBC_FULL_BUILD=true          \
+   $> ninja install
+
+We need ``clang`` to build the UEFI C library and ``lld`` to link UEFI PE
+executables, so we enable them in ``LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS``. We then set
+``RUNTIMES_<triple>_LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES`` to enable ``libc`` for the UEFI
+targets.

+Testing infrastructure
+======================
+
+The LLVM C library supports different kinds of :ref:`tests <build_and_test>`
+depending on the build configuration. The UEFI target is considered a full build
+and therefore provides all of its own utilities to build and run the generated
+tests. Currently UEFI supports two kinds of tests.
+
+#. **Hermetic tests** - These are unit tests built with a test suite similar to
+   Google's ``gtest`` infrastructure. These use the same infrastructure as unit
+   tests except that the entire environment is self-hosted.
+
+#. **Integration tests** - These are lightweight tests that simply call a
+   ``main`` function and checks if it returns non-zero.
+
+The UEFI target uses the same testing infrastructure as the other supported
+``libc`` targets. We do this by treating UEFI as a standard hosted environment
+capable of launching a ``main`` function. This only requires us to run the
+tests in a UEFI environment.
