[PATCH 4.9 27/59] x86/boot: #undef memcpy() et al in string.c

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 21 2018 - 14:14:52 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Davidson <md@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 18d5e6c34a8eda438d5ad8b3b15f42dab01bf05d upstream.

undef memcpy() and friends in boot/string.c so that the functions
defined here will have the correct names, otherwise we end up
up trying to redefine __builtin_memcpy() etc.

Surprisingly, GCC allows this (and, helpfully, discards the
__builtin_ prefix from the function name when compiling it),
but clang does not.

Adding these #undef's appears to preserve what I assume was
the original intent of the code.
