[PATCH v4 2/2] powerpc/64: Option to use ELF V2 ABI for big-endian kernels
Provide an option to build big-endian kernels using the ELFv2 ABI. This works on GCC only so far, although it is rumored to work with clang that's not been tested yet. A new module version check ensures the module ELF ABI level matches the kernel build. This can give big-endian kernels some useful advantages of the ELFv2 ABI (e.g., less stack usage, -mprofile-kernel, better compatibility with eBPF tools). BE+ELFv2 is not officially supported by the GNU toolchain, but it works fine in testing and has been used by some userspace for some time (e.g., Void Linux).
