Test failures on s390x: endianness problems? #210

Open

Description

In addition to the hopefully easy 32-bit issue (#209), I'm wondering whether big endian systems might be entirely busted. That's hard to say for sure since s390x is the only one big endian system available on the https://ci.debian.net/ infrastructure…

I'll just quote one occurrence:

=== RUN   TestConfigureNAT
    nftables_test.go:313: message 2: got -- want
          02 00 00 00 -- 02 00 00 00
        ! 00 08 00 01 -- 08 00 01 00
          6e 61 74 00 -- 6e 61 74 00
        ! 00 08 00 02 -- 08 00 02 00
          00 00 00 00 -- 00 00 00 00
           -- 

In ! lines, see how byte pairs are swapped. There are many more occurrences of this issue.

Here's an apparently different issue, but maybe that's the same reason (with the length being misread due to swapped bytes):

=== RUN   TestGetRules
    nftables_test.go:831: message 0: got -- want
          02 00 00 00 -- 02 00 00 00
        ! 00 0b 00 01 -- 0b 00 01 00
          66 69 6c 74 -- 66 69 6c 74
          65 72 00 00 -- 65 72 00 00
        ! 00 0a 00 02 -- 0a 00 02 00
          69 6e 70 75 -- 69 6e 70 75
          74 00 00 00 -- 74 00 00 00
           -- 
    nftables_test.go:853: invalid attribute; length too short or too large
--- FAIL: TestGetRules (0.00s)

and another one (might also be due to swapped bytes):

=== RUN   TestListChains
    nftables_test.go:1550: error returned from TestDial unexpected header type: got unknown(0), want unknown(2563)
--- FAIL: TestListChains (0.00s)

There's a final issue that looks like bytes are getting stashed in the wrong direction, and not just swapped:

=== RUN   TestOtherTypes
    binaryutil_test.go:136: PutInt32 failure, expected: []byte{0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12}, got: []byte{0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78}
--- FAIL: TestOtherTypes (0.00s)
FAIL
