Subject: MIPS: ZBOOT: add missing <linux/string.h> include
From: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 29593fd5a8149462ed6fad0d522234facdaee6c8 upstream.
Commit dc4d7b37 (MIPS: ZBOOT: gather string functions into string.c)
moved the string related functions into a separate file, which might
cause the following build error, depending on the configuration:
| CC arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o
| In file included from linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/decompress_unxz.c:234:0,
| from linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c:67:
| linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c: In function 'fill_temp':
| linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c:162:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'memcpy' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
| cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
| linux/scripts/Makefile.build:308: recipe for target 'arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o' failed
| make[6]: *** [arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o] Error 1
| linux/arch/mips/Makefile:308: recipe for target 'vmlinuz' failed
It does not fail with the standard configuration, as when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is not enabled <linux/string.h> gets included in
include/linux/dynamic_debug.h. There might be other ways for it to
get indirectly included.
We can't add the include directly in xz_dec_stream.c as some
architectures might want to use a different version for the boot/
directory (see for example arch/x86/boot/string.h).
