This is 3rd trial. I hope this patch series will be added to -mm tree. And I would like to see what it breaks. Changes since previous version: - s/__inline__/inline/ - s/__const__/const/ - cleanup test_le_bit() - hweight() speedup - out of line hweight*() - out of line find_*_bit() - out of line generic_find_next_zero_le_bit() - fix arch bitops.h for ia64 and alpha - add hweight*() related cleanups Boot testes on: - i386 - ppc Cross compiled on: - x86_64 - ia64 - alpha - sparc - sparc64 Large number of boilerplate bit operations which are written in C-language are scattered around include/asm-*/bitops.h. This patch series gathers them into include/asm-generic/bitops/*.h . It will be the benefit to: - kill duplicated code and comment (about 4000 lines) - use better C-language equivalents - help porting new architecture --
