commit 52f548e41f085550d7740c350c1c8a239532af77 Author: Ulrich Weigand Date: Tue Feb 4 18:41:36 2014 +0100 PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI: stack frame layout changes This implementes another change in ELFv2: the stack frame no longer contains the reserved double words for linker and compiler use (which weren't really used for much of anything anyway). This affects placement of on-stack parameters in inferior calls. gdb/ChangeLog: * ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_dummy_call): Use correct offset to the stack parameter list for the ELFv2 ABI.
