Fix pcprofiledump cross-endian condition (bug 22086).
debug/pcprofiledump.c contains code that tries to handle other-endian data. This uses a condition "(word & 0xfffffff0) == bswap_32 (0xdeb00000)". This condition is always false (the LHS always has the low four bits zero, the RHS doesn't); a correct comparison would use 0x0fffffff. This results in -Werror=tautological-compare build failures with the tile version of bits/byteswap.h and mainline GCC. https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-testresults/2017-q3/msg00400.html pcprofiledump.c: In function 'main': pcprofiledump.c:118:39: error: bitwise comparison always evaluates to false [-Werror=tautological-compare] int must_swap = (word & 0xfffffff0) == bswap_32 (0xdeb00000); ^~ This patch fixes the condition. Tested for x86_64, and with build-many-glibcs.py that it fixes the build for tilegx-linux-gnu. (Note that I have not tested the actual pcprofiledump functionality, native or cross endian, which lacks any testsuite coverage.) [BZ #22086] * debug/pcprofiledump.c (main): Use byte-swapped mask when comparing word with byte-swapped constant.
