Subject: [PATCH v3 next 03/13] scripts/elf-parse: add elf_map_big_endian() helper
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 11:59:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111115911.1142000-4-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111115911.1142000-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Returns 1 for big-endian, 0 for little-endian.
While the tools are compiled for a specific architecture the target
endianness isn't easily obtainable.
Use 'const Elf_Ehdr *ehdr' for the argument, change the argument of the
very similar elf_map_machine() and elf_map_long_size() to be the same.
All the callers either pass the correct type or 'void *'.
Will be used by kallsyms.
Signed-off-by: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

New patch for v3.
