Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
d4013bc4d4
From Phil Auld:
drivers/base: Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES
From me:
cpumask: cleanup nr_cpu_ids vs nr_cpumask_bits mess
This series cleans that mess and adds new config FORCE_NR_CPUS that
allows to optimize cpumask subsystem if the number of CPUs is known
at compile-time.
From me:
lib: optimize find_bit() functions
Reworks find_bit() functions based on new FIND_{FIRST,NEXT}_BIT() macros.
From me:
lib/find: add find_nth_bit()
Adds find_nth_bit(), which is ~70 times faster than bitcounting with
for_each() loop:
for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
if (n-- == 0)
return bit;
Also adds bitmap_weight_and() to let people replace this pattern:
tmp = bitmap_alloc(nbits);
bitmap_and(tmp, map1, map2, nbits);
weight = bitmap_weight(tmp, nbits);
bitmap_free(tmp);
with a single bitmap_weight_and() call.
From me:
cpumask: repair cpumask_check()
After switching cpumask to use nr_cpu_ids, cpumask_check() started
generating many false-positive warnings. This series fixes it.
From Valentin Schneider:
bitmap,cpumask: Add for_each_cpu_andnot() and for_each_cpu_andnot()
Extends the API with one more function and applies it in sched/core.

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.
