bitops: Change function return types from long to int

2024-05-03T15:04:50Z

Change the return types of bitops functions (ffs, fls, and fns) from long to int. The expected return values are in the range [0, 64], for which int is sufficient. Additionally, int aligns well with the return types of the corresponding __builtin_* functions, potentially reducing overall type conversions. Many of the existing bitops functions already return an int and don't need to be changed. The bitops functions in arch/ should be considered separately. Adjust some return variables to match the function return types. With GCC 13 and defconfig, these changes reduced the size of a test kernel image by 5,432 bytes on arm64 and by 248 bytes on riscv; there were no changes in size on x86_64, powerpc, or m68k.

tools/headers: Synchronize kernel ABI headers

2017-11-04T08:27:46Z

After the SPDX license tags were added a number of tooling headers got out of sync with their kernel variants, generating lots of build warnings. Sync them: - tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h, tools/arch/x86/include/asm/required-features.h, tools/include/linux/hash.h: Remove the SPDX tag where the kernel version does not have it. - tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/__fls.h, tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/arch_hweight.h, tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h, tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls.h, tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls64.h, tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/ioctls.h, tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h, tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/vhost.h, tools/include/uapi/sound/asound.h: Add the SPDX tag of the respective kernel header. - tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/stat.h, Change the tag to the kernel header version: -/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */ +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */ Also sync other header details: - include/uapi/sound/asound.h: Fix pointless end of line whitespace noise the header grew in this cycle. - tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Sync the code and add tools/include/asm/export.h with dummy wrappers to support building the kernel side code in a tooling header environment. - tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman.h, tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h: Sync other details that don't impact tooling's use of the ABIs.

tools: Copy hashtable.h into tools directory

2016-03-09T09:48:09Z

Copy hashtable.h from include/linux/tools.h. It's needed by objtool in the next patch in the series. Add some includes that it needs, and remove references to kernel-specific features like RCU and __read_mostly. Also change some if its dependency headers' includes to use quotes instead of brackets so gcc can find them.
