[PATCH] ARM: Implement ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK

From: Thomas Weißschuh <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-09 10:03:59
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

The generic CC_CAN_LINK detection does not handle different byte orders.
This may lead to userprogs which are not actually runnable on the target
kernel.

Use architecture-specific logic supporting byte orders instead.
