Power.org Published the Power Architecture 32-bit ELF ABI Supplement

Power.org has published the Power Architecture® 32-bit Application Binary Interface Supplement 1.0 - Linux® & Embedded.

http://www.power.org/resources/downloads/Power-Arch-32-bit-ABI-supp-1.0-Unified.pdf

This is a specification document that I worked on for four years as part of the PowerABI TSC, under Power.org.

It defines the 32-bit Power Architecture processor specific ELF ABI for the GNU/Linux Operating System and Embedded environments.

I served as the document owner, style-sheet maintainer, and TSC Chair (for the last year).  It's very rewarding (relieving) to see this finally published.  It was a pleasure to work with everyone on the TSC.  Their expertise and contributions were invaluable.


There are three versions of the document: the Linux & Embedded (Unified), the Linux, and the Embedded.  These are all generated from the same parent document and are separated for convenience of the readers.
