Words are stored in big endian in the guest memory for armeb. Commit 7f4f0d9ea870 ("linux-user/arm: Implement __kernel_cmpxchg with host atomics") switched to use qatomic_cmpxchg() to swap a word with the memory content, but missed to endianess-swap the oldval and newval values when emulating an armeb CPU.
The bug can be verified with qemu >= v7.2 on any little-endian host, when starting the armeb binary of the upx program, which just hangs without this patch.
