[PATCH] cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned

From: Alexey Dobriyan
Date: Thu Mar 09 2017 - 15:53:36 EST


Bit searching functions accept "unsigned long" indices
but "nr_cpumask_bits" is "int" which is signed, so inevitable
sign extensions occur on x86_64. Those MOVSX are #1 MOVSX bloat
by number of uses across whole kernel.

Change "nr_cpumask_bits" to unsigned, this number can't be negative
after all. It allows to do implicit zero-extension on x86_64
without MOVSX.

Change signed comparisons into unsigned comparisons where necessary.

Other uses looks fine because it is either argument passed to a function
or comparison is already unsigned.

Net win on allyesconfig type of kernel: ~2.8 KB (!)

Same arguments apply to "nr_cpu_ids" but I haven't yet found enough
courage to delve into this issue (and proper fix may require new type
"cpu_t" which is whole separate story).
