The most recent ones I've found were https://github.com/hjl-tools/x86-psABI/wiki/X86-psABI which have now been moved to GitLab and no longer have pre-built PDFs? It's a hard "standard" to track for sure. In a pinch, the uClibc website will do: https://uclibc.org/docs/psABI-x86_64.pdf

Thanks for the link to the POSIX docs, looks very useful. More recent specs for the x64 ABI can be found at https://github.com/hjl-tools/x86-psABI/wiki/X86-psABI

There is a C ABI. The "x86-64 System V ABI" (the ABI for C on everything except Windows on an x86-64, ie a typical PC) was designed by AMD working with early adopters on Linux and other platforms. Here are several extant ABI documents: https://github.com/hjl-tools/x86-psABI/wiki/X86-psABI The ABI for C needs to agree less stuff than a C++ ABI but it's still quite a lot of stuff, if these things don't get agreed then code won't work unless everybody uses the same (version of the) compiler.
