<abstract>
<para>The Executable and Linking Format (ELF) defines a linking interface for executables
and shared objects in two parts: the first part is the generic System V ABI, the second part
is a processor-specific supplement.</para>
<para>This document, the OpenPOWER ABI for Linux Supplement for the Power Architecture 64-bit ELF
V2 ABI, is the OpenPOWER-compliant processor-specific supplement for use with ELF V2 on 64-bit
IBM Power Architecture® systems. This is not a complete System V ABI supplement because it
does not define any library interfaces.</para>
<para>This document establishes both big-endian and little-endian application binary
interfaces. OpenPOWER-compliant processors in the 64-bit Power Architecture can execute
in either big-endian or little-endian mode. Executables and executable-generated
data (in general) that subscribes to either byte ordering is not portable to a system running in the
other mode.</para>
<para>This document is a Standards Track, Work Group work product owned by the
System Software Workgroup and handled in compliance with the requirements outlined in the
<citetitle>OpenPOWER Foundation Work Group (WG) Process</citetitle> document. It was
created using the <citetitle>Master Template Guide</citetitle> version 1.0. Comments,
