[PATCH] prctl: implement PR_GET_ENDIAN for all architectures

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
