rseq/selftests: arm: use udf instruction for RSEQ_SIG
Use udf as the guard instruction for the restartable sequence abort handler. Previously, the chosen signature was not a valid instruction, based on the assumption that it could always sit in a literal pool. However, there are compilation environments in which literal pools are not available, for instance execute-only code. Therefore, we need to choose a signature value that is also a valid instruction. Handle compiling with -mbig-endian on ARMv6+, which generates binaries with mixed code vs data endianness (little endian code, big endian data). Else mismatch between code endianness for the generated signatures and data endianness for the RSEQ_SIG parameter passed to the rseq registration will trigger application segmentation faults when the kernel try to abort rseq critical sections. Prior to ARMv6, -mbig-endian generates big-endian code and data, so endianness should not be reversed in that case.
