2018-12-10	arm64: string: use asm EXPORT_SYMBOL()	Mark Rutland	1	-0/+1
	For a while now it's been possible to use EXPORT_SYMBOL() in assembly files, which allows us to place exports immediately after assembly functions, as we do for C functions. As a step towards removing arm64ksyms.c, let's move the string routine exports to the assembly files the functions are defined in. Routines which should only be exported for !KASAN builds are exported using the EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOKASAN() helper. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

2018-10-26	arm64: lib: use C string functions with KASAN enabled	Andrey Ryabinin	1	-1/+1
	ARM64 has asm implementation of memchr(), memcmp(), str[r]chr(), str[n]cmp(), str[n]len(). KASAN don't see memory accesses in asm code, thus it can potentially miss many bugs. Ifdef out __HAVE_ARCH_* defines of these functions when KASAN is enabled, so the generic implementations from lib/string.c will be used. We can't just remove the asm functions because efistub uses them. And we can't have two non-weak functions either, so declare the asm functions as weak.

2018-03-05	arm64/efi: Make strrchr() available to the EFI namespace	Rob Herring	1	-1/+1
	libfdt gained a new dependency on strrchr, so make it available to the EFI namespace before we update libfdt. Thanks to Ard for providing this fix.
