From f66c05d6baf36069c01a02f869bebb75586f2318 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasily Gorbik Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 19:42:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] objtool/x86: Fix elf_add_alternative() endianness Currently x86 kernel cross-compiled on big endian system fails at boot with: kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:258! Corresponding bug condition look like the following: BUG_ON(feature >= (NCAPINTS + NBUGINTS) * 32); Fix that by converting alternative feature/cpuid to target endianness.
