Rich Felker 0cd2be2314 work around broken kernel struct ipc_perm on some big endian archs
the mode member of struct ipc_perm is specified by POSIX to have type
mode_t, which is uniformly defined as unsigned int. however, Linux
defines it with type __kernel_mode_t, and defines __kernel_mode_t as
unsigned short on some archs. since there is a subsequent padding
field, treating it as a 32-bit unsigned int works on little endian
archs, but the order is backwards on big endian archs with the
erroneous definition.

since multiple archs are affected, remedy the situation with fixup
code in the affected functions (shmctl, semctl, and msgctl) rather
than repeating the same shims in syscall_arch.h for every affected
arch.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
