While trying to compile the kernel for ARM (omap2plus_defconfig) the kernel
build fails with:

arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c: In function ‘syscall_trace’:
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c:920:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘audit_syscall_exit’
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c:922:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘audit_syscall_entry’
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c:922:23: error: ‘AUDIT_ARCH_ARMEB’ undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c:922:23: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.o] Error 1

The issue created by commit:
29ef73b7 Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM Platform

We need to include the linux/audit.h header to the arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c
file to be able to compile the kernel.

This was already reported and I think Russell was going to revert the
offending commit, since it needed some rework to handle little-endian
configurations.

I can't see the revert in any of the trees I'm tracking though...

I never pushed that out because I thought someone was going to fix it.
Were any patches produced to fix it?  I can't see anything in the patch
system and I couldn't see anything on the list.

It seems the previous thread about it just died.  Oh well, I guess a
revert is what's required after all.

You probably meant the arch endian bug.  I wrote a patch for it, but
guess i never sent it.  It was just sitting on my audit arm branch.  So
I just sent that one as well.

Thanks Russell!
