+ * Copyright 2017, Gustavo Romero, IBM Corp.

+ *
+ * Check if thread endianness is flipped inadvertently to BE on trap
+ * caught in TM whilst MSR.FP and MSR.VEC are zero (i.e. just after
+ * load_fp and load_vec overflowed).
+ *
+ * The issue can be checked on LE machines simply by zeroing load_fp
+ * and load_vec and then causing a trap in TM. Since the endianness
+ * changes to BE on return from the signal handler, 'nop' is
+ * thread as an illegal instruction in following sequence:
+ *	tbegin.
+ *	beq 1f
+ *	trap
+ *	tend.
+ * 1:	nop
+ *
+ * However, although the issue is also present on BE machines, it's a
+ * bit trickier to check it on BE machines because MSR.LE bit is set
+ * to zero which determines a BE endianness that is the native
+ * endianness on BE machines, so nothing notably critical happens,
+ * i.e. no illegal instruction is observed immediately after returning
+ * from the signal handler (as it happens on LE machines). Thus to test
+ * it on BE machines LE endianness is forced after a first trap and then
+ * the endianness is verified on subsequent traps to determine if the
+ * endianness "flipped back" to the native endianness (BE).
