H A Dkfence.h7581495a Thu May 04 22:51:27 CDT 2023 Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> mm: kfence: fix false positives on big endian

Since commit 1ba3cbf3ec3b ("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.
