As reported[1] by Arnd, the arch-specific fadvise64_64 and fallocate
compatibility handlers assume parameters are passed with 32-bit
big-endian ABI. This affects the assignment of odd-even parameter pairs
to the high or low words of a 64-bit syscall parameter.
Fix fadvise64_64 fallocate compat handlers to correctly swap upper/lower
32 bits conditioned on endianness.
A future patch will replace the arch-specific compat fallocate with an
asm-generic implementation. This patch is intended for ease of
back-port.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
