Subject: powerpc: add little endian flag to syscall_get_arch()
From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 63f13448d81c910a284b096149411a719cbed501 upstream.
Since both ppc and ppc64 have LE variants which are now reported by uname, add
that flag (__AUDIT_ARCH_LE) to syscall_get_arch() and add AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE
variant.
Without this, perf trace and auditctl fail.
Mainline kernel reports ppc64le (per a058801) but there is no matching
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE.
Since 32-bit PPC LE is not supported by audit, don't advertise it in
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC* variants.
