Andrew Donnellan 7096deb7b5 powerpc/pseries: Fix endianness issue when parsing PLPKS secvar flags
When a user updates a variable through the PLPKS secvar interface, we take
the first 8 bytes of the data written to the update attribute to pass
through to the H_PKS_SIGNED_UPDATE hcall as flags. These bytes are always
written in big-endian format.

Currently, the flags bytes are memcpy()ed into a u64, which is then loaded
into a register to pass as part of the hcall. This means that on LE
systems, the bytes are in the wrong order.

Use be64_to_cpup() instead, to ensure the flags bytes are byteswapped if
necessary.

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.
