[PATCH] powerpc: add little endian flag to syscall_get_arch()

From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Tue Dec 02 2014 - 16:28:22 EST


Since both ppc and ppc64 have LE variants which are now reported by uname, add
that flag (__AUDIT_ARCH_LE) to syscall_get_arch() and add AUDIT_ARCH_PPC*LE
variants.

Without this, perf trace and auditctl fail.

Mainline kernel reports ppc64le (per a058801) but there is no matching
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE.
