commit 3c0be5849259b729580c23549330973a2dd513a2 upstream.
We have assembly implementations of strcpy(), strncpy(), strcmp() & strncmp() which:
- Are simple byte-at-a-time loops with no particular optimizations. As a comment in the code describes, they're "rather naive".
- Offer no clear performance advantage over the generic C implementations - in microbenchmarks performed by Alexander Lobakin the asm functions sometimes win & sometimes lose, but generally not by large margins in either direction.
- Don't support 64-bit kernels, where we already make use of the generic C implementations.
- Tend to bloat kernel code size due to inlining.
- Don't support CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
- Won't support nanoMIPS without rework.
For all of these reasons, delete the asm implementations & make use of the generic C implementations for 32-bit kernels just like we already do for 64-bit kernels.
