It's not clear what's so horrible about emitting a function call to handle
a run-time sized bitmap.  Moreover, gcc also emits a function call for a
compile-time-constant-but-huge nbits, so the comment isn't even accurate.

<title>linux/bitmap.h: remove redundant uses of small_const_nbits()</title>

In the _zero, _fill and _copy functions, the small_const_nbits branch is
redundant.  If nbits is small and const, gcc knows full well that
BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) is 1, so len is also a compile-time constant
(sizeof(long)), and calling memset or memcpy with a length argument of
sizeof(long) makes gcc generate the expected code anyway:

#include &lt;string.h&gt;
void a(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0, 8); }
void b(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0xff, 8); }
void c(unsigned long *x, const unsigned long *y) { memcpy(x, y, 8); }

<title>linux/bitmap.h: handle constant zero-size bitmaps correctly</title>

<id>7275b097851a5e2e0dd4da039c7e96b59ac5314e</id>
<content type='text'>
The static inlines in bitmap.h do not handle a compile-time constant
nbits==0 correctly (they dereference the passed src or dst pointers,
despite only 0 words being valid to access).  I had the 0-day buildbot
chew on a patch [1] that would cause build failures for such cases without
complaining, suggesting that we don't have any such users currently, at
least for the 70 .config/arch combinations that was built.  Should any
turn up, make sure they use the out-of-line versions, which do handle
nbits==0 correctly.

This is of course not the most efficient, but it's much less churn than
teaching all the static inlines an "if (zero_const_nbits())", and since we
don't have any current instances, this doesn't affect existing code at
all.

A lot of code become ugly because of open coding allocations for bitmaps.

Introduce three helpers to allow users be more clear of intention
and keep their code neat.

Note, due to multiple circular dependencies we may not provide
the helpers as inliners. For now we keep them exported and, perhaps,
at some point in the future we will sort out header inclusion and
inheritance.

Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to
bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are
constants aligned to a byte.

This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned
long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory.  This was caught by the
Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a
big-endian machine.

We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an
unsigned long, so do that on big-endian.  The same problem applies to
the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.

<title>lib: optimize cpumask_next_and()</title>

<id>0ade34c37012ea5c516d9aa4d19a56e9f40a55ed</id>
<content type='text'>
We've measured that we spend ~0.6% of sys cpu time in cpumask_next_and().
It's essentially a joined iteration in search for a non-zero bit, which is
currently implemented as a lookup join (find a nonzero bit on the lhs,
lookup the rhs to see if it's set there).

Implement a direct join (find a nonzero bit on the incrementally built
join).  Also add generic bitmap benchmarks in the new `test_find_bit`
module for new function (see `find_next_and_bit` in [2] and [3] below).

For cpumask_next_and, direct benchmarking shows that it's 1.17x to 14x
faster with a geometric mean of 2.1 on 32 CPUs [1].  No impact on memory
usage.  Note that on Arm, the new pure-C implementation still outperforms
the old one that uses a mix of C and asm (`find_next_bit`) [3].

[1] Approximate benchmark code:

```
  unsigned long src1p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern1};
  unsigned long src2p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern2};
  for (/*a bunch of repetitions*/) {
    for (int n = -1; n &lt;= nr_cpu_ids; ++n) {
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src1p)); // prevent any optimization
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src2p));
      unsigned long result = cpumask_next_and(n, src1p, src2p);
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(result));
    }
  }
```

Results:
pattern1    pattern2     time_before/time_after

We've measured that we spend ~0.6% of sys cpu time in cpumask_next_and().
It's essentially a joined iteration in search for a non-zero bit, which is
currently implemented as a lookup join (find a nonzero bit on the lhs,
lookup the rhs to see if it's set there).

Implement a direct join (find a nonzero bit on the incrementally built
join).  Also add generic bitmap benchmarks in the new `test_find_bit`
module for new function (see `find_next_and_bit` in [2] and [3] below).

For cpumask_next_and, direct benchmarking shows that it's 1.17x to 14x
faster with a geometric mean of 2.1 on 32 CPUs [1].  No impact on memory
usage.  Note that on Arm, the new pure-C implementation still outperforms
the old one that uses a mix of C and asm (`find_next_bit`) [3].

[1] Approximate benchmark code:

```
  unsigned long src1p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern1};
  unsigned long src2p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern2};
  for (/*a bunch of repetitions*/) {
    for (int n = -1; n &lt;= nr_cpu_ids; ++n) {
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src1p)); // prevent any optimization
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src2p));
      unsigned long result = cpumask_next_and(n, src1p, src2p);
      asm volatile("" : "+rm"(result));
    }
  }
```

Results:
pattern1    pattern2     time_before/time_after

0x0000ffff  0x00005555   2.24

<content type='text'>
Behaviour of bitmap_fill() differs from bitmap_zero() in a way how bits
behind bitmap are handed.  bitmap_zero() clears entire bitmap by unsigned
long boundary, while bitmap_fill() mimics bitmap_set().

Here we change bitmap_fill() behaviour to be consistent with bitmap_zero()
and add a note to documentation.

The change might reveal some bugs in the code where unused bits are
handled differently and in such cases bitmap_set() has to be used.

with bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 over the kernel. Additionally to it:
* __check_eq_bitmap() now takes single nbits argument.
* __check_eq_u32_array is not used in new test but may be used in
  future. So I don't remove it here, but annotate as __used.

Tested on arm64 and 32-bit BE mips.

<title>bitmap: new bitmap_copy_safe and bitmap_{from,to}_arr32</title>

<id>c724f193619c896621bf5818d71ce77437f49a06</id>
<content type='text'>
This patchset replaces bitmap_{to,from}_u32array with more simple and
standard looking copy-like functions.

bitmap_from_u32array() takes 4 arguments (bitmap_to_u32array is similar):
 - unsigned long *bitmap, which is destination;
 - unsigned int nbits, the length of destination bitmap, in bits;
 - const u32 *buf, the source; and
 - unsigned int nwords, the length of source buffer in ints.

In description to the function it is detailed like:
* copy min(nbits, 32*nwords) bits from @buf to @bitmap, remaining
* bits between nword and nbits in @bitmap (if any) are cleared.

Having two size arguments looks unneeded and potentially dangerous.

It is unneeded because normally user of copy-like function should take
care of the size of destination and make it big enough to fit source
data.

And it is dangerous because function may hide possible error if user
doesn't provide big enough bitmap, and data becomes silently dropped.

That's why all copy-like functions have 1 argument for size of copying
data, and I don't see any reason to make bitmap_from_u32array()
different.

One exception that comes in mind is strncpy() which also provides size
of destination in arguments, but it's strongly argued by the possibility
of taking broken strings in source.  This is not the case of
bitmap_{from,to}_u32array().

There is no many real users of bitmap_{from,to}_u32array(), and they all
very clearly provide size of destination matched with the size of
source, so additional functionality is not used in fact. Like this:
bitmap_from_u32array(to-&gt;link_modes.supported,
		__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS,
		link_usettings.link_modes.supported,
		__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32);
Where:
#define __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32 \
	DIV_ROUND_UP(__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS, 32)

In this patch, bitmap_copy_safe and bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 are introduced.

'Safe' in bitmap_copy_safe() stands for clearing unused bits in bitmap
beyond last bit till the end of last word. It is useful for hardening
API when bitmap is assumed to be exposed to userspace.

bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 functions are replacements for
bitmap_{from,to}_u32array. They don't take unneeded nwords argument, and
so simpler in implementation and understanding.

This patch suggests optimization for 32-bit systems - aliasing
bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to bitmap_copy_safe.

Other possible optimization is aliasing 64-bit LE bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to
more generic function(s). But I didn't end up with the function that would
be helpful by itself, and can be used to alias 64-bit LE
bitmap_{from,to}_arr32, like bitmap_copy_safe() does. So I preferred to
leave things as is.

The following patch switches kernel to new API and introduces test for it.

Discussion is here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/592

		__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS,
		link_usettings.link_modes.supported,
		__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32);
Where:
#define __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32 \
	DIV_ROUND_UP(__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS, 32)

In this patch, bitmap_copy_safe and bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 are introduced.

'Safe' in bitmap_copy_safe() stands for clearing unused bits in bitmap
beyond last bit till the end of last word. It is useful for hardening
API when bitmap is assumed to be exposed to userspace.

bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 functions are replacements for
bitmap_{from,to}_u32array. They don't take unneeded nwords argument, and
so simpler in implementation and understanding.

This patch suggests optimization for 32-bit systems - aliasing
bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to bitmap_copy_safe.

Other possible optimization is aliasing 64-bit LE bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to
more generic function(s). But I didn't end up with the function that would
be helpful by itself, and can be used to alias 64-bit LE
bitmap_{from,to}_arr32, like bitmap_copy_safe() does. So I preferred to
leave things as is.

The following patch switches kernel to new API and introduces test for it.
