[PATCH] kexec/ppc64 ELF ABIv2 ABI support

Laurent Dufour ldufour at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon Jan 20 12:45:53 EST 2014


When building in PPC64 little endian mode, the compiler is now using the
new ABI v2. Among other changes, this new ABI removes the function
descriptors and changes the way the TOC address is computed when entering a
C function.

The purgatory assembly part where the dot symbols are removed, and ELF
relocation code are impacted in this patch.
