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.
