Delete Branch '%!s(<nil>)'
Deleting a branch is permanent. It CANNOT be undone. Continue?
Was it deliberate to omit the following information from the front matter of the original document? (Maybe it got moved later; I haven't found it yet.)
About this Document
This specification defines the OpenPOWER ELF V2 application binary interface (ABI). This ABI is derived from and represents the first major update to the Power ABI since the original release of the IBM® RS/6000® ABI. It was developed to make extensive use of new functions available in OpenPOWER-compliant processors.
It expects an OpenPOWER-compliant processor to implement at least Power ISA V3.0 with all
OpenPOWER Architecture instruction categories as well as OpenPOWER-defined implementation characteristics for some implementation-specific features.
Specifically, to use this ABI and ABI-compliant programs, OpenPOWER-compliant processors must implement the following categories:
• Base
• 64-Bit
• Server (subject to system-level requirements)
• Floating-Point
• Floating-Point.Record
• Load/Store Quadword x2
• Store Conditional Page Mobility (subject to system-level requirements)
• Stream
• Transactional Memory
• Vector
• Vector.Little-Endian
• Vector-Scalar
For more information about these categories, see “Categories” in Book I of Power ISA, version 3.0.
The OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI is intended for use in little- and big-endian environments.
Fixed, thanks!
