Subject: [PATCH v6 00/12] lib/find_bit: fast path for small bitmaps

Bitmap operations are much simpler and faster in case of small bitmaps
which fit into a single word. In linux/bitmap.c we have a machinery that
allows compiler to replace actual function call with a few instructions
if bitmaps passed into the function are small and their size is known at
compile time.

find_*_bit() API lacks this functionality; but users will benefit from it
a lot. One important example is cpumask subsystem when
NR_CPUS <= BITS_PER_LONG.

v6 is mostly a resend. The only change comparing to v5 is a fix of
small_const_nbits() synchronization patch.

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20210321215457.588554-1-yury.norov@gmail.com/T/
v6: - sync small_const_nbits() properly (patch 6).
    - Rasmus' ack added.

Yury Norov (12):
  tools: disable -Wno-type-limits
  tools: bitmap: sync function declarations with the kernel
  tools: sync BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK() macro with the kernel
  arch: rearrange headers inclusion order in asm/bitops for m68k and sh
  lib: extend the scope of small_const_nbits() macro
  tools: sync small_const_nbits() macro with the kernel
  lib: inline _find_next_bit() wrappers
  tools: sync find_next_bit implementation
  lib: add fast path for find_next_*_bit()
