bitmap.h, perf/core: Fix the mask in perf_output_sample_regs()
When decoding the perf_regs mask in perf_output_sample_regs(), we loop through the mask using find_first_bit and find_next_bit functions. While the exisiting code works fine in most of the case, the logic is broken for big-endian 32-bit kernels. When reading a u64 mask using (u32 *)(&val)[0], find_*_bit() assumes that it gets the lower 32 bits of u64, but instead it gets the upper 32 bits - which is wrong. The fix is to swap the words of the u64 to handle this case. This is _not_ a regular endianness swap. Suggested-by:Yury Norov <ynorov@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by:
