[PATCH v3 0/3] riscv: optimized mem* functions

[Matteo Croce <mcroce@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

Replace the assembly mem{cpy,move,set} with C equivalent.

Try to access RAM with the largest bit width possible, but without
doing unaligned accesses.

Tested on a BeagleV Starlight with a SiFive U74 core, where the
improvement is noticeable.

v2 -> v3:
- alias mem* to __mem* and not viceversa
- use __alias instead of a tail call

v1 -> v2:
- reduce the threshold from 64 to 16 bytes
- fix KASAN build
- optimize memset

Matteo Croce (3):
  riscv: optimized memcpy
  riscv: optimized memmove
  riscv: optimized memset
