From 9c313ccdfc079f71f16c9b3d3a6c6d60996b9367 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thorsten Blum Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2024 00:38:37 +0200 Subject: bitops: Change function return types from long to int Change the return types of bitops functions (ffs, fls, and fns) from long to int. The expected return values are in the range [0, 64], for which int is sufficient. Additionally, int aligns well with the return types of the corresponding __builtin_* functions, potentially reducing overall type conversions. Many of the existing bitops functions already return an int and don't need to be changed. The bitops functions in arch/ should be considered separately. Adjust some return variables to match the function return types. With GCC 13 and defconfig, these changes reduced the size of a test kernel image by 5,432 bytes on arm64 and by 248 bytes on riscv; there were no changes in size on x86_64, powerpc, or m68k.
