x86_64: Remove bzero optimization
Both symbols are marked as legacy in POSIX.1-2001 and removed on POSIX.1-2008, although the prototypes are defined for _GNU_SOURCE or _DEFAULT_SOURCE. GCC also replaces bcopy with a memmove and bzero with memset on default configuration (to actually get a bzero libc call the code requires to omit string.h inclusion and built with -fno-builtin), so it is highly unlikely programs are actually calling libc bzero symbol. On a recent Linux distro (Ubuntu 22.04), there is no bzero calls by the installed binaries. $ cat count_bstring.sh #!/bin/bash files=`IFS=':';for i in $PATH; do test -d "$i" && find "$i" -maxdepth 1 -executable -type f; done` total=0 for file in $files; do symbols=`objdump -R $file 2>&1` if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then ncalls=`echo $symbols | grep -w $1 | wc -l` ((total=total+ncalls)) if [ $ncalls -gt 0 ]; then echo "$file: $ncalls" fi fi done echo "TOTAL=$total" $ ./count_bstring.sh bzero TOTAL=0 Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
