Subject: ARM: 8445/1: fix vdsomunge not to depend on glibc specific byteswap.h
From: "H. Nikolaus Schaller" <hns@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8a603f91cc4848ab1a0458bc065aa9f64322e123 upstream.
If the host toolchain is not glibc based then the arm kernel build
fails with
HOSTCC arch/arm/vdso/vdsomunge
arch/arm/vdso/vdsomunge.c:48:22: fatal error: byteswap.h: No such file or directory
Observed: with omap2plus_defconfig and compile on Mac OS X with arm ELF
cross-compiler.
Reason: byteswap.h is a glibc only header.
Solution: replace by private byte-swapping macros (taken from
arch/mips/boot/elf2ecoff.c and kindly improved by Russell King)
Tested to compile on Mac OS X 10.9.5 host.
