kdb: use memmove instead of overlapping memcpy
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 2cf2f0d5b91fd1b06a6ae260462fc7945ea84add upstream.

gcc discovered that the memcpy() arguments in kdbnearsym() overlap, so
we should really use memmove(), which is defined to handle that correctly:

In function 'memcpy',
    inlined from 'kdbnearsym' at /git/arm-soc/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_support.c:132:4:
/git/arm-soc/include/linux/string.h:353:9: error: '__builtin_memcpy' accessing 792 bytes at offsets 0 and 8 overlaps 784 bytes at offset 8 [-Werror=restrict]
  return __builtin_memcpy(p, q, size);
