<content type='text'>
The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the
atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h
so we have a place to add a truly generic atomic.h
that can be used on all non-SMP systems.

Impact: reduce kernel image size

Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.

Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.

Probably should be done for other architectures too.

Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.

On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.

With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:

    6116998 1138540  883788 8139326  7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch
    6137043 1138540  883788 8159371  7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining

~20k / 0.3% difference.

<title>x86, generic: optimize find_next_(zero_)bit for small constant-size bitmaps</title>

<id>urn:sha1:64970b68d2b3ed32b964b0b30b1b98518fde388e</id>
<content type='text'>
This moves an optimization for searching constant-sized small
bitmaps form x86_64-specific to generic code.

On an i386 defconfig (the x86#testing one), the size of vmlinux hardly
changes with this applied. I have observed only four places where this
optimization avoids a call into find_next_bit:

In the functions return_unused_surplus_pages, alloc_fresh_huge_page,
and adjust_pool_surplus, this patch avoids a call for a 1-bit bitmap.
In __next_cpu a call is avoided for a 32-bit bitmap. That's it.

On x86_64, 52 locations are optimized with a minimal increase in
code size:

Current #testing defconfig:
	146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5392637  846592  724424 6963653  6a41c5 vmlinux

After removing the x86_64 specific optimization for find_next_*bit:
	94 x bsf, 79 x find_next_*bit
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5392358  846592  724424 6963374  6a40ae vmlinux

After this patch (making the optimization generic):
	146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5392396  846592  724424 6963412  6a40d4 vmlinux

define first set of BIT* macros

- move BITOP_MASK and BITOP_WORD from asm-generic/bitops/atomic.h to
  include/linux/bitops.h and rename it to BIT_MASK and BIT_WORD
- move BITS_TO_LONGS and BITS_PER_BYTE to bitops.h too and allow easily
  define another BITS_TO_something (e.g. in event.c) by BITS_TO_TYPE macro
Remaining (and common) BIT macro will be defined after all occurences and
conflicts will be sorted out in the patches.
