Subject: ARM: 9134/1: remove duplicate memcpy() definition
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
commit eaf6cc7165c9c5aa3c2f9faa03a98598123d0afb upstream.
Both the decompressor code and the kasan logic try to override
the memcpy() and memmove() definitions, which leading to a clash
in a KASAN-enabled kernel with XZ decompression:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/decompress.c:50:9: error: 'memmove' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]
#define memmove memmove
^
arch/arm/include/asm/string.h:59:9: note: previous definition is here
#define memmove(dst, src, len) __memmove(dst, src, len)
^
arch/arm/boot/compressed/decompress.c:51:9: error: 'memcpy' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]
#define memcpy memcpy
^
arch/arm/include/asm/string.h:58:9: note: previous definition is here
#define memcpy(dst, src, len) __memcpy(dst, src, len)
^
Here we want the set of functions from the decompressor, so undefine
the other macros before the override.
