powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endianness
We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall exception entry. That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't recognise the syscall at all. Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall exception entry, which is complicated enough without it. As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a regular syscall that implements the same functionality. The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the special syscall clobbers fewer registers. This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
