Use udf as the guard instruction for the restartable sequence abort handler. Previously, the chosen signature was not a valid instruction, based on the assumption that it could always sit in a literal pool. However, there are compilation environments in which literal pools are not available, for instance execute-only code. Therefore, we need to choose a signature value that is also a valid instruction. Handle compiling with -mbig-endian on ARMv6+, which generates binaries with mixed code vs data endianness (little endian code, big endian data). Else mismatch between code endianness for the generated signatures and data endianness for the RSEQ_SIG parameter passed to the rseq registration will trigger application segmentation faults when the kernel try to abort rseq critical sections. Prior to ARMv6, -mbig-endian generates big-endian code and data, so endianness should not be reversed in that case.

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.
