Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1f27a050fc tools arch: Update arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S copy used in 'perf bench mem memcpy'
To cope with the changes in:

  12c89130a5 ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Add write-protection-fault handling")
  60622d6822 ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Return bytes remaining")
  bd131544aa ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Add labels for __memcpy_mcsafe() write fault handling")
  da7bc9c57e ("x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Remove loop unrolling")

This needed introducing a file with a copy of the mcsafe_handle_tail()
function, that is used in the new memcpy_64.S file, as well as a dummy
mcsafe_test.h header.

Testing it:

  $ nm ~/bin/perf | grep mcsafe
  0000000000484130 T mcsafe_handle_tail
  0000000000484300 T __memcpy_mcsafe
  $
  $ perf bench mem memcpy
  # Running 'mem/memcpy' benchmark:
  # function 'default' (Default memcpy() provided by glibc)
  # Copying 1MB bytes ...

      44.389205 GB/sec
  # function 'x86-64-unrolled' (unrolled memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S)
  # Copying 1MB bytes ...

      22.710756 GB/sec
  # function 'x86-64-movsq' (movsq-based memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S)
  # Copying 1MB bytes ...

      42.459239 GB/sec
  # function 'x86-64-movsb' (movsb-based memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S)
  # Copying 1MB bytes ...

      42.459239 GB/sec
  $

This silences this perf tools build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S'

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
