v5 changes:
- Removed redundant warm-up from test case
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260518131407.1026049-2-milant2002@gmail.com/
v4 changes:
- Fixed build error: call to undeclared function 'STRING_BENCH'
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260515141019.1234037-1-milant2002@gmail.com/
v3 changes:
- Split memcmp benchmark into wrapper (string_bench_memcmp) and worker
function (do_string_bench_memcmp).
- Removed all C99 mixed declarations; moved all variable declarations
to the top of each function.
- Converted len, iterations and loop counters in the benchmark to u64
to avoid implicit casts.
- Cleaned up spacing, indentation and minor style issues.
- Added #if defined(CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB)... in memcmp.S
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260514121359.931999-1-milant2002@gmail.com/
v2 changes:
- Fixed KUnit build failures for Clang and non-benchmark configs.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260512141007.1193033-1-milant2002@gmail.com/
