Merge tag 'trace-v5.10-rc6-bootconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull bootconfig fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Have bootconfig size and checksum be little endian

  In case the bootconfig is created on one kind of endian machine, and
  then read on the other kind of endian kernel, the size and checksum
  will be incorrect. Instead, have both the size and checksum always be
  little endian and have the tool and the kernel convert it from little
  endian to or from the host endian"
