MIPS provides multiple definitions for the following functions: fw_init_cmdline __delay __udelay __ndelay memmove __rmemcpy memcpy __copy_user The generic ones are defined in lib-y objects, which are overridden by the Octeon ones when CONFIG_CAVIUM_OCTEON_SOC is enabled. The use of EXPORT_SYMBOL in static libraries potentially causes a problem for the llvm linker [1]. So, I want to forcibly link lib-y objects to vmlinux when CONFIG_MODULES=y. As a groundwork, we must fix multiple definitions that have previously been hidden by lib-y. If you look at lib/string.c, arch can define __HAVE_ARCH_* to opt out the generic implementation. Similarly, this commit adds CONFIG_HAVE_PLAT_* to allow a platform to opt out the MIPS generic code.

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.
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.
