string: Add load_unaligned_zeropad() code path to sized_strscpy()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit d94c12b upstream.

The call to read_word_at_a_time() in sized_strscpy() is problematic
with MTE because it may trigger a tag check fault when reading
across a tag granule (16 bytes) boundary. To make this code
MTE compatible, let's start using load_unaligned_zeropad()
on architectures where it is available (i.e. architectures that
define CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS). Because load_unaligned_zeropad()
takes care of page boundaries as well as tag granule boundaries,
also disable the code preventing crossing page boundaries when using
load_unaligned_zeropad().
