Subject: [PATCH] prctl: implement PR_GET_ENDIAN for all architectures
Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2017 12:13:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170128111310.GA13389@ls3530.fritz.box> (raw)

The prctl(PR_GET_ENDIAN) syscall was added to Kernel 2.6.18, but
implemented for PowerPC only.
This trivial patch adds support for this syscall for all other architectures.

Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
