+/* The ELFv2 ABI uses three bits in the symbol st_other field of a
+ function definition to specify the number of instructions between a
+ function's global entry point and local entry point.
+ The global entry point is used when it is necessary to set up the
+ toc pointer (r2) for the function. Callers must enter the global
+ entry point with r12 set to the global entry point address. On
+ return from the function, r2 may have a different value to that
+ which it had on entry.
+ The local entry point is used when r2 is known to already be valid
+ for the function. There is no requirement on r12 when using the
+ local entry point, and on return r2 will contain the same value as
+ at entry.
+ A value of zero in these bits means that the function has a single
+ entry point with no requirement on r12 or r2, and that on return r2
+ will contain the same value as at entry.
+ Values of one and seven are reserved. */
