Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The alignment trap handler in arch/arm/mm/alignment.c performs halfword and word accesses by translating them into byte accessing and then combining the pieces. However, it assumes little-endian byte ordering in doing so, which causes unaligned accesses on big-endian platforms to erroneously load or store byteswapped data. This patch was pulled from an old 2.4 -ds tree, and appears to fix the issue. It was submitted for 2.4 at the time (ARM patch ID 1205/1206), but rejected since big-endian ARM platforms are not supported in 2.4. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek Signed-off-by: Russell King
