Nick Desaulniers e0d262a57f x86/purgatory: Do not use __builtin_memcpy and __builtin_memset
commit 4ce97317f4 upstream.

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 5f074f3e19 ("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")

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.
