  [PATCH] prctl: implement PR_GET_ENDIAN for all architectures Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> - 2017-01-28 12:30 +0100

#1568869 — [PATCH] prctl: implement PR_GET_ENDIAN for all architectures

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.
