Re: [PATCH] remove usage of memmem from scripts/kallsyms.c

Hi,

The only in-kernel user of "memmem" is scripts/kallsyms.c and it only
uses it to find tokens that are 2 bytes in size. It is trivial to
replace it with a simple function that finds 2-byte tokens.

This should help users from systems that don't have the memmem GNU
extension available.

So we could remove the "#define _GNU_SOURCE" at the top
of scripts/kallsyms.c too, presumably? If not (i.e. if there are
more GNUisms left in that file anyway), then I'm not sure if we
really gain by the change.
