commit4ce97317f4upstream. 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.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
