      [PATCH] Add a prctl to change the endianness of a process. · 651d765d
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      This new prctl is intended for changing the execution mode of the
      processor, on processors that support both a little-endian mode and a
      big-endian mode.  It is intended for use by programs such as
      instruction set emulators (for example an x86 emulator on PowerPC),
      which may find it convenient to use the processor in an alternate
      endianness mode when executing translated instructions.
      
      Note that this does not imply the existence of a fully-fledged ABI for
      both endiannesses, or of compatibility code for converting system
      calls done in the non-native endianness mode.  The program is expected
      to arrange for all of its system call arguments to be presented in the
      native endianness.
      
      Switching between big and little-endian mode will require some care in
      constructing the instruction sequence for the switch.  Generally the
      instructions up to the instruction that invokes the prctl system call
      will have to be in the old endianness, and subsequent instructions
      will have to be in the new endianness.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
