lseek: Correct order of offset arguments
There was a runtime error in systems without large file support. Call fseek(fd, 4096, SEEK_SET) has been failing with EINVAL, though it was succeeding for offset = 4092. This has been happening because llseek system call accepts 64-bit value as an offset argument and lseek function has been ordering 32-bits words that form this offset value, according to the endianness. However this ordering to match endianness is not required, because llseek doesn't accept one 64-bit offset argument, it accepts two 32-bit offset argument, then stitches them into one following its endianness. As a result on little endian system, order of words has been swapped two time: in libc and in kernel. Thus call to fseek with offset 4096 (0x1000) was doing a system call to llseek with offset 0x1000_0000_0000. I'm not entirely sure why then offset = 4092 hasn't been failing then. This patch removes malicious swap of words when calling llseek. Signed-off-by: Anton Kolesov <Anton.Kolesov@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Bernhard Reutner-Fischer <rep.dot.nop@gmail.com>
