[PATCH 0/2] x86: turn off wrongly enabled CONFIG_GENERIC_HWEIGHT

[PATCH 0/2] x86: turn off wrongly enabled CONFIG_GENERIC_HWEIGHT

[Masahiro Yamada]

x86 should not enable CONFIG_GENERIC_HWEIGHT
because lib/hweight.c is not used by x86.

The only user is drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mac80211.c

Of course, this driver is wrong since drivers should use the
generic API, hweight8().

After fixing it, x86 does not need to compile lib/hweight.c at all.

The real implementation is located in arch/x86/lib/hweight.S

[PATCH 1/2] wireless: mt76: call hweight8() instead of __sw_hweight8()

[Masahiro Yamada]

__sw_hweight8() is just internal implementation.

Drivers should use the common API, hweight8().

This patch should go to x86 tree along with 2/2.

Otherwise, all{yes,mod}config of x86 would be broken.

This patch is trivial enough.
I want ACK from the net/wireless maintainer
so that this can go in via x86 tree.

Sounds good to me, feel free to push via the x86 tree.

Actually, can you wait a bit? Felix just reminded me that we have a
similar patch pending from Ben Hutchings:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10808203/

And it seems there are two instances of __sw_hweight8, at least in my
wireless-drivers-next tree:

drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mac80211.c:  int i, nstream = __sw_hweight8(dev->antenna_mask);
drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mac80211.c:  int n_chains = __sw_hweight8(dev->antenna_mask);

So we need to think what to do.

I think the best would be that Felix applies Ben's patch to the wireless
tree and I'll push it to Linus during the next merge window (via
net-next). Simpler and less conflicts that way.

So Masahiro, could you hold your x86 patch for a while until the mt76
patch will be in Linus' tree? That should not take more than two weeks,
I think.

No hurry - I won't take it into the x86 now and queue it for 5.1 because
it is not something urgent or fixing a bug or so. It is a cleanup and as
such it can surely wait for 5.2, I'd say. Unless there are other aspects
which I'm not thinking of right now...

Thx.

Sure.
I will resend 2/2 later.
