The __memzero assembly code is almost identical to memset's except for two orr instructions. The runtime performance of __memset(p, n) and memset(p, 0, n) is accordingly almost identical. However, the memset() macro used to guard against a zero length and to call __memzero at compile time when the fill value is a constant zero interferes with compiler optimizations. Arnd found tha the test against a zero length brings up some new warnings with gcc v8: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82103 And successively rremoving the test against a zero length and the call to __memzero optimization produces the following kernel sizes for defconfig with gcc 6: text data bss dec hex filename 12248142 6278960 413588 18940690 1210312 vmlinux.orig 12244474 6278960 413588 18937022 120f4be vmlinux.no_zero_test 12239160 6278960 413588 18931708 120dffc vmlinux.no_memzero So it is probably not worth keeping __memzero around given that the compiler can do a better job at inlining trivial memset(p,0,n) on its own. And the memset code already handles a zero length just fine.
