Hi Andrew,
After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:

I have applied the following merge fix patch:

Arnd Bergmann spotted another problem with that patch. I decided to rip
out the "fortify" related code. I'll send a patch in a follow-up email.

The way I'd implemented the new helper memcpy_and_pad with
__FORTIFY_INLINE caused compiler warnings for certain kernel
configurations.
This helper is only used in a single place at this time, and thus
doesn't benefit much from fortification. So simplify the code
by dropping fortification support for now.

Hello Stephen and Christoph,
my broken patch 01f33c336e2d is in Linus' tree and causing compiler
warnings there. Could you please take care that this fix is pulled in
on top of it? Or should I take another action myself?
Thanks,
Martin

string.h is a bit of a maintainers no mans land. Given that the
problematic commit came in through the nvme tree I've applied your
patch and will sned it to Jens with the next batch of nvme updates
tonight.
