[PATCH] x86/boot/compressed: Use builtin mem functions for decompressor

[Arvind Sankar]

Since commits

  c041b5ad8640 ("x86, boot: Create a separate string.h file to provide standard string functions")
  fb4cac573ef6 ("x86, boot: Move memcmp() into string.h and string.c")

the decompressor stub has been using the compiler's builtin memcpy,
memset and memcmp functions, _except_ where it would likely have the
largest impact, in the decompression code itself.

Remove the #undef's of memcpy and memset in misc.c so that the
decompressor code also uses the compiler builtins.

The rationale given in the comment doesn't really apply: just because
some functions use the out-of-line version is no reason to not use the
builtin version in the rest.

Replace the comment with an explanation of why memzero and memmove are
being #define'd.

Drop the suggestion to #undef in boot/string.h as well: the out-of-line
versions are not really optimized versions, they're generic code that's
good enough for the preboot environment. The compiler will likely
generate better code for constant-size memcpy/memset/memcmp if it is
allowed to.
