[b6977f7]61Application Binary Interface
62============================
[d755cbd]63
[b6977f7]64In 32-bit PowerPC configurations the ABI defined by
65`Power Architecture 32-bit Application Binary Interface Supplement 1.0 - Embedded <https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/people/sebh/Power-Arch-32-bit-ABI-supp-1.0-Embedded.pdf>`_
66is used.
[d755cbd]67
[b6977f7]68In 64-bit PowerPC configurations the ABI defined by
69`Power Architecture 64-Bit ELF V2 ABI Specification, Version 1.1 <https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/people/sebh/ABI64BitOpenPOWERv1.1_16July2015_pub.pdf>`_
70is used.
[d755cbd]71
72Special Registers
[b6977f7]73=================
[d755cbd]74
[b6977f7]75The following special-purpose registers are used by RTEMS:
[d755cbd]76
[6297ad3]77*Special-Purpose Register General 0 (SPRG0)*
[b6977f7]78    In SMP configurations, this register contains the address of the per-CPU
[6297ad3]79    control of the processor.
80
81*Special-Purpose Register General 1 (SPRG1)*
82    This register contains the interrupt stack pointer for the outer-most
83    interrupt service routine.
84
85*Special-Purpose Register General 2 (SPRG2)*
86    This register contains the address of interrupt stack area begin.
87
[d755cbd]88Memory Model
89============
90
[b6977f7]91The memory model is flat.
[d755cbd]92
93Interrupt Processing
94====================
95
96Interrupt Levels
97----------------
98
[b6977f7]99There are exactly two interrupt levels on PowerPC with respect to RTEMS.  Level
100zero corresponds to interrupts enabled.  Level one corresponds to interrupts
101disabled.
[d755cbd]102
[b6977f7]103Interrupt Stack
104---------------
[d755cbd]105
[b6977f7]106The interrupt stack size can be configured via the
107``CONFIGURE_INTERRUPT_STACK_SIZE`` application configuration option.
[d755cbd]108
109Default Fatal Error Processing
110==============================
111
[b6977f7]112The default fatal error handler is BSP-specific.
[d755cbd]113
114Symmetric Multiprocessing
115=========================
116
117SMP is supported.  Available platforms are the Freescale QorIQ P series (e.g.
118P1020) and T series (e.g. T2080, T4240).
119
120Thread-Local Storage
121====================
122
123Thread-local storage is supported.
124
[b6977f7]12564-bit Caveats
126==============
[d755cbd]127
[3fdea2d]128* The thread pointer is ``r13`` in contrast to ``r2`` used in the 32-bit ABI.
[d755cbd]129
[3fdea2d]130* The TOC pointer is ``r2``.  It must be initialized as part of the C run-time
[b6977f7]131  setup.  A valid stack pointer is not enough to call C functions.  They may
132  use the TOC to get addresses and constants.
[d755cbd]133
[873ba80]134* The TOC must be within the first 2GiB of the address space.  This simplifies
[3fdea2d]135  the interrupt prologue, since the ``r2`` can be set to ``.TOC.`` via the
136  usual ``lis`` followed by ``ori`` combination.  The ``lis`` is subject to
137  sign-extension.
[d755cbd]138
[3fdea2d]139* The ``PPC_REG_LOAD``, ``PPC_REG_STORE``, ``PPC_REG_STORE_UPDATE``, and
140  ``PPC_REG_CMP`` macros are available for assembly code to provide register
141  size operations selected by the GCC ``-m32`` and ``-m64`` options.
[d755cbd]142
[3fdea2d]143* The ``MSR[CM]`` bit must be set all the time, otherwise the MMU translation
144  my yield unexpected results.  The ``EPCR[ICM]`` or ``EPCR[GICM]`` bits may be
145  used to enable the 64-bit compute mode for exceptions.
