[PATCH v2 02/14] arm64: bpf: Remove big-endian support from the JIT compiler

From: Will Deacon

Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 12:41:41 EST


Big-endian support on arm64 depends on BROKEN. In preparation for
removing the dead code altogether, remove the big-endian-specific
support from the arm64 BPF JIT backend.
