cris: import memset.c from newlib: fixes compile error with newer (pre4.3) gcc
Adrian Bunk reported the following compile error with a SVN head GCC: ... CC arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.o /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c: In function 'memset': /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:164: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:165: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:166: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:167: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:185: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:189: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:192: error: lvalue required as increment operand ... etc ... This is due to the use of the construct: *((long*)dst)++ = lc; Which is no longer legal since casts don't return an lvalue. The solution is to import the implementation from newlib, which is continually autotested together with GCC mainline, and uses the construct: *(long *) dst = lc; dst += 4; With this change, the generated code actually shrinks 76 bytes since gcc notices that it can use autoincrement for the move instruction in CRIS. text data bss dec hex filename 304 0 0 304 130 memset.old.o text data bss dec hex filename 228 0 0 228 e4 memset.o Since this is an import of a file from newlib, I'm not touching the formatting or correcting any checkpatch errors. Note also that even if the two files for the CRIS v10 and CRIS v32 are identical at the moment, it might be possible to tweak the CRIS v32 version. Thus, I'm not yet folding them into the same file, at least not until we've done some research on it.
