x86, boot: #undef memcpy etc in string.c
PATCH 1/2 x86, boot: #undef memcpy etc in string.c
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.

PATCH 2/2 x86, boot: Use regparm=0 for memcpy and memset when using clang
Use the standard regparm=0 calling convention for memcpy and memset when building with clang.
This is a work around for a long standing clang bug (see https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3997) where clang always uses the standard regparm=0 calling convention for any implcit calls to memcpy and memset that it generates (eg for structure assignments and initialization) even if an alternate calling convention such as regparm=3 has been specified.

I don't think we want to add such ugly workarounds for clang bugs in a piecemail wise manner. If this was the _only_ workaround required to have a working kernel built with clang then maybe, but there's no way to tell from this submission.
Thanks,
Ingo

Apologies for the lack of context. This change, and the #undef of mem* in x86/boot/string.c
are actually the only patches that are absolutely needed to get an x86_64 kernel to
build and boot successfully with clang provided that you also arrange for clang
be invoked with the -no-integrated-as option. In practice it is also necessary to disable
a few more clang warnings to make the build tolerable.
I will send out a more complete set of patches later today which deal with those other
issues.
As far as the specific issue of this particular clang bug is concerned I did also consider
adding a configuration option to simply not build the real mode boot code at all but
that looked like it would require much more extensive surgery.
