RISC-V: add infrastructure to allow different str*

A patch from »String optimizations and call support in alternatives« in state Mainline for linux-kernel

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@...> Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2022 17:39:14 +0200

Commit-Message

Depending on supported extensions on specific RISC-V cores, optimized str* functions might make sense. This adds basic infrastructure to allow patching the function calls via alternatives later on. The main idea is to have the core str* functions be inline functions which then call the most optimized variant and this call then be replaced via alternatives. The big advantage is that we don't need additional calls. Though we need to duplicate the generic functions as the main code expects either itself or the architecture to provide the str* functions. The added *_generic functions are done in assembler (taken from disassembling the main-kernel functions for now) to allow us to control the used registers. Signed-off-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@...>
