Revision 29ba06b9ed51d49dea6c79c3c16b961d661262bd authored by David Howells on 13 March 2013, 21:59:46 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 13 March 2013, 22:21:48 UTC
In the UAPI header files, __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN must be compared against __BYTE_ORDER in preprocessor conditionals where these are exposed to userspace (that is they're not inside __KERNEL__ conditionals). However, in the main kernel the norm is to check for "defined(__XXX_ENDIAN)" rather than comparing against __BYTE_ORDER and this has incorrectly leaked into the userspace headers. The definition of ACCT_BYTEORDER in linux/acct.h is wrong in this way. Note that userspace will likely interpret this incorrectly as the big-endian variant on little-endian machines - depending on header inclusion order. [!!!] NOTE [!!!] This patch may adversely change the userspace API. It might be better to fix the value of ACCT_BYTEORDER.
