64-bit Caveats
==============
* The thread pointer is `r13` in contrast to `r2` used in the 32-bit ABI.
* The thread pointer is ``r13`` in contrast to ``r2`` used in the 32-bit ABI.
* The TOC pointer is `r2`. It must be initialized as part of the C run-time
* The TOC pointer is ``r2``. It must be initialized as part of the C run-time
setup. A valid stack pointer is not enough to call C functions. They may
use the TOC to get addresses and constants.
* The TOC must be within the first 2GiB of the address space. This simplifies
the interrupt prologue, since the `r2` can be set to `.TOC.` via the usual
`lis` followed by `ori` combination. The `lis` is subject to sign-extension.
