[PATCH v5 0/2] riscv: Optimize bitops with Zbb extension

[Xiao Wang]

Bitops optimization with specialized instructions is common practice in
popular ISAs, this patch set uses RISC-V Zbb extension to optimize four
bitops: __ffs, __fls, ffs and fls.

The first patch rearranges the content in hwcap.h and cpufeature.h, it helps
to avoid a cyclic header including issue for patch 2.

The second patch leverages the alternative mechanism to dynamically apply
this optimization.

Thanks,
Xiao

v5:
- Fix all the checkpatch complaints from "scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict". (Charlie)
  There're three kinds of complaints on patch 2/2 code style:
  * CHECK: Lines should not end with a '('
  * CHECK: spaces preferred around that '-' (ctx:VxV)
  * CHECK: Macro argument reuse 'x' - possible side-effects?
  The third warning on fls(x) macro is fixed alongside with code style improvement.
- Drop the mistakenly added content in v4. (Charlie)
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231030063904.2116277-1-xiao.w.wang@xxxxxxxxx/

v4:
- Simplify the asm code in ffs() and fls() by moving general logic into C
  implementation. (Charlie)
- Add a comment to decorating the large #ifdef block. (Charlie)
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230926094655.3102758-1-xiao.w.wang@xxxxxxxxx/

v3:
- Fix riscv32 build issue reported by kernel test robot. V3 changes "hwcap.h" to
  "cpufeature.h" for files where cpu feature detection APIs are used. (Yujie)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230920074653.2509631-1-xiao.w.wang@xxxxxxxxx/

v2:
- Remove the "EFI_" prefix from macro name "EFI_NO_ALTERNATIVE" to make it
  generic. (Ard)
- patch-1 is added, it's based on "RISC-V: Enable cbo.zero in usermode". (Andrew)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230806024715.3061589-1-xiao.w.wang@xxxxxxxxx/
