Linux kernel stable tree
d1d1a2cd46
Patch series "lib/find_bit: fast path for small bitmaps", v6. 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. This patch (of 12): GENMASK(h, l) may be passed with unsigned types. In such case, type-limits warning is generated for example in case of GENMASK(h, 0).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
