mainlining shenanigans
4ce97317f4
Implementing memcpy and memset in terms of __builtin_memcpy and
__builtin_memset is problematic.
GCC at -O2 will replace calls to the builtins with calls to memcpy and
memset (but will generate an inline implementation at -Os). Clang will
replace the builtins with these calls regardless of optimization level.
$ llvm-objdump -dr arch/x86/purgatory/string.o | tail
0000000000000339 memcpy:
339: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movabsq $0, %rax
000000000000033b: R_X86_64_64 memcpy
343: ff e0 jmpq *%rax
0000000000000345 memset:
345: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movabsq $0, %rax
0000000000000347: R_X86_64_64 memset
34f: ff e0
Such code results in infinite recursion at runtime. This is observed
when doing kexec.
Instead, reuse an implementation from arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.c.
This requires to implement a stub function for warn(). Also, Clang may
lower memcmp's that compare against 0 to bcmp's, so add a small definition,
too. See also: commit

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.
