From 0c28130b5c9e8f0b153436d3dae39482e5a70af1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Thu, 5 May 2005 16:15:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: make string func definition work as intended In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments: /* Use C out of line version for memcmp */ #define memcmp __builtin_memcmp int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count); This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp, it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in lib/string.c. What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp". Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular case is not a documented feature as far as I can see. Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch. I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated) exports in x86-64 and UML/x86_64 subarchs (the second ones are introduced by another patch I just posted for -mm).
