From c041b5ad8640dd89ccf1411cd2636ef7c1cfee92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:26:37 -0400 Subject: x86, boot: Create a separate string.h file to provide standard string functions Create a separate arch/x86/boot/string.h file to provide declaration of some of the common string functions. By default memcpy, memset and memcmp functions will default to gcc builtin functions. If code wants to use an optimized version of any of these functions, they need to #undef the respective macro and link against a local file providing definition of undefed function. For example, arch/x86/boot/* code links against copy.S to get memcpy() and memcmp() definitions. arch/86/boot/compressed/* links against compressed/string.c. There are quite a few places in arch/x86/ where these functions are used. Idea is to try to consilidate their declaration and possibly definitions so that it can be reused. I am planning to reuse boot/string.h in arch/x86/purgatory/ and use gcc builtin functions for memcpy, memset and memcmp.
