Deepesh Varatharajan b189b2fb86 rust-target-config: PPC64 targets require explicit ABI selection to avoid build failures with rustc.
Without a specified ABI, rustc panics with the following error:
|   thread 'rustc' panicked at compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/back/metadata.rs:394:21:
|   No ABI specified for this PPC64 ELF target.

This issue was occuring because of the following Rust commit:
9c1180b623

As noted in the upstream changes:
If the flags do not correctly indicate the ABI,
linkers such as ld.lld assume that the ppc64 object files are always ELFv2,
which leads to broken binaries if ELFv1 is used for the object files.

Because of this, it is now required to explicitly specify the ABI for PPC64 targets
using one of the following:
"elfv1" => EF_PPC64_ABI_ELF_V1,
"elfv2" => EF_PPC64_ABI_ELF_V2,

If no ABI is specified, the Rust compiler will panic with the error:
No ABI specified for this PPC64 ELF target

To address this:
- Set 'elfv2' for powerpc64le (little-endian), which mandates ELFv2 ABI.
- Set 'elfv1' for powerpc64 (big-endian), which defaults to ELFv1 ABI.

Poky

Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/

OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.

Contribution Guidelines

Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/ for full details on how to submit changes.

Where to Send Patches

As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:

OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):

BitBake (files in bitbake/):

Documentation (files in documentation/):

meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):

If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
