3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andreas Larsson <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 74cad25c076a2f5253312c2fe82d1a4daecc1323 ] This makes memset follow the standard (instead of returning 0 on success). This is needed when certain versions of gcc optimizes around memset calls and assume that the address argument is preserved in %o0.
