Using ".arm .inst" for the arm signature introduces build issues for programs compiled in Thumb mode because the assembler stays in the arm mode for the rest of the inline assembly. Revert to using a ".word" to express the signature as data instead. The choice of signature is a valid trap instruction on arm32 little endian, where both code and data are little endian. ARMv6+ big endian (BE8) generates mixed endianness code vs data: little-endian code and big-endian data. The data value of the signature needs to have its byte order reversed to generate the trap instruction. Prior to ARMv6, -mbig-endian generates big-endian code and data (which match), so the endianness of the data representation of the signature should not be reversed. However, the choice between BE32 and BE8 is done by the linker, so we cannot know whether code and data endianness will be mixed before the linker is invoked. So rather than try to play tricks with the linker, the rseq signature is simply data (not a trap instruction) prior to ARMv6 on big endian. This is why the signature is expressed as data (.word) rather than as instruction (.inst) in assembler. Because a ".word" is used to emit the signature, it will be interpreted as a literal pool by a disassembler, not as an actual instruction. Considering that the signature is not meant to be executed except in scenarios where the program execution is completely bogus, this should not be an issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
