From a930d69baa958d5f308b3910187c5f3c083fe171 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilias Apalodimas Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2022 20:04:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] efi_loader: replace a u16_strdup with alloc + memcpy Heinrich reports that on RISC-V unaligned access is emulated by OpenSBI which is very slow. Performance wise it's better if we skip the calls to u16_strdup() -- which in turn calls u16_strsize() and just allocate/copy the memory directly. The access to dp.length may still be unaligned, but that's way less than what u16_strsize() would do Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas Use malloc() instead of calloc().
