[v6,2/8] tools/nolibc: add support for powerpc64

Commit Message

Zhangjin Wu Aug. 5, 2023, 6:40 p.m. UTC

This follows the 64-bit PowerPC ABI [1], refers to the slides: "A new
ABI for little-endian PowerPC64 Design & Implementation" [2] and the
musl code in arch/powerpc64/crt_arch.h.

First, stdu and clrrdi are used instead of stwu and clrrwi for
powerpc64.

Second, the stack frame size is increased to 32 bytes for powerpc64, 32
bytes is the minimal stack frame size supported described in [2].

Besides, the TOC pointer (GOT pointer) must be saved to r2.

This works on both little endian and big endian 64-bit PowerPC.
