Linux/PPC assembly language documentation ?

[Neil Russell]

@l gives the lower 16-bits of the constant.
@h gives the upper 16-bits.
@ha gives the upper 16-bits adjusted so that carry from the lower 16-bits
    gives the correct result.

So, an example of correct use is:

	lis	r3, const at h
	ori	r3, r3, const at l

or

	lis	r3, const at ha
	addi	r3, r3, const at l

or

	lis	r3, addr at ha
	lbz	r4, addr at l(r3)

("lis rx, c" is "addis rx, rx, c").
