Commit ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost")
deprecated &lt;asm/export.h&gt;, which is now a wrapper of &lt;linux/export.h&gt;.

Replace #include &lt;asm/export.h&gt; with #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;.

After all the &lt;asm/export.h&gt; lines are converted, &lt;asm/export.h&gt; and
&lt;asm-generic/export.h&gt; will be removed.

The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte.

This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire
words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do.

On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings.

strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values:

Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c):

  len 256 : time = 1.195055
  len 016 : time = 0.083745
  len 008 : time = 0.046828
  len 004 : time = 0.028390

After the patch:

  len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==&gt; 78% improvment
  len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==&gt; 51% improvment
  len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==&gt; 29% improvment
  len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==&gt; 2% degradation

On a 832x:

Before the patch:

  len 256 : time = 0.236125
  len 016 : time = 0.018136
  len 008 : time = 0.011000
  len 004 : time = 0.007229

After the patch:

  len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==&gt; 60% improvment
  len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==&gt; 26% improvment
  len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==&gt; 4% improvment
  len 004 : time = 0.008784
