[parisc-linux] ELF ABI Documents

[Jeff Bailey]

I'm on a bit of a quest for accurate documentation.

This started when I was starting to hack klibc and had to go digging for
a bunch of information in a pile of different documents.  What I'd like
to do is write the LSB document for parisc so that there's a single
accurate place to refer to for calling conventions / syscall
information, etc.

It's most common in the LSB specs to refer to the ELF psabi document
where possible.  http://refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/elf-pa.pdf seems
to be a copy of the psabi document, but when checking with some folks,
it looks like the document isn't a reflection on reality for
parisc-linux.  The question is, should the document be updated to
reflect reality, should we slowly change to match the document, or
should I just not refer to the psabi document much when writing the LSB
document?

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
