Since commit1ba3cbf3ec("mm: kfence: improve the performance of __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free()"), kfence reports failures in random places at boot on big endian machines. The problem is that the new KFENCE_CANARY_PATTERN_U64 encodes the address of each byte in its value, so it needs to be byte swapped on big endian machines. The compiler is smart enough to do the le64_to_cpu() at compile time, so there is no runtime overhead.

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.
