kernel/ksysfs.c: export kernel cpu byteorderCertain files in procfs are formatted in byteorder-dependent formats.For example the IP addresses in /proc/net/udp.When using emulation like qemu-user, applications are not guaranteed tobe using the same byteorder as the kernel.Therefore the kernel needs to provide a way for applications to discoverthe byteorder used in API-filesystems.Using systemcalls is not enough because these are intercepted andtranslated by the emulation.Also this makes it easier for non-compiled applications likeshellscripts to discover the byteorder.Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221103152407.3348-1-linux@weissschuh.netSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux-6.15/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-cpu_byteorder
