Allow static linking object files of either endianness, checking that input files have consistent byte-order, and setting output endianness from input. Linking requires in-memory processing of programs, relocations, sections, etc. in native endianness, and output conversion to target byte-order. This is enabled by built-in ELF translation and recent BTF/BTF.ext endianness functions. Further add local functions for swapping byte-order of sections containing BPF insns.

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 reStructuredText 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.
