When booting on e6500 with an ELF v2 ABI kernel, the secondary threads do
not start correctly:
[ 0.051118] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
[ 5.072700] Processor 1 is stuck.
This occurs because the startup code is written to use function
descriptors when loading the entry point for the secondary threads. When
building with ELF v2 ABI there are no function descriptors, and the code
loads junk values for the entry point address.
Fix it by using ppc_function_entry() in C, and DOTSYM() in asm, both of
which work correctly for ELF v2 ABI as well as ELF v1 ABI kernels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
