commit 11684134140bb708b6e6de969a060535630b1b53 upstream. set_memmap_mode() stores the kernel parameter memmap mode as an integer. However, the get_memmap_mode() function utilizes param_get_bool() to fetch the value as a boolean, leading to potential endianness issue. On Big-endian architectures, the memmap_on_memory is consistently displayed as 'N' regardless of its actual status. To address this endianness problem, the solution involves obtaining the mode as an integer. This adjustment ensures the proper display of the memmap_on_memory parameter, presenting it as one of the following options: Force, Y, or N.

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.
