The exception handler subroutines are declared as a single char, but
when copied to the required addresses the copy length is 0x80.
When range checks are enabled for memcpy() this results in a build
failure, with error messages such as:
In file included from arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-init.c:15:
In function 'memcpy',
inlined from 'mips_nmi_setup' at arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-init.c:98:2:
include/linux/string.h:376:4: error: call to '__read_overflow2' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object passed as 2nd parameter
376 | __read_overflow2();
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Change the declarations to use type char[].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
