kernel/include/uapi/linux/acct.h, branch linux-3.9.yHosts the 0x221E linux distro kernel.https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/atom?h=linux-3.9.y2013-03-13T22:21:48ZUAPI: fix endianness conditionals in linux/acct.h2013-03-13T22:21:48ZDavid Howellsdhowells@redhat.com2013-03-13T21:59:46Zurn:sha1:29ba06b9ed51d49dea6c79c3c16b961d661262bd
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.
