[PATCH] all: remove GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT

From: Yury Norov
Date: Mon May 10 2021 - 19:34:32 EST


In the 5.12 cycle we enabled the GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT config option
for ARM64 and MIPS. It increased performance and shrunk .text size; and
so far I didn't receive any negative feedback on the change.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20210225135700.1381396-1-yury.norov@xxxxxxxxx/

I think it's time to make all architectures use find_{first,last}_bit()
unconditionally and remove the corresponding config option.

This patch doesn't introduce functional changes for arc, arm64, mips,
s390 and x86 because they already enable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT. There
will be no changes for arm because it implements find_{first,last}_bit
in arch code. For other architectures I expect improvement both in
performance and .text size.

It would be great if people with an access to real hardware would share
the output of bloat-o-meter and lib/find_bit_benchmark.
