The functions are pretty thin wrappers around find_bit engine, and
keeping them in c-file prevents compiler from small_const_nbits()
optimization, which must take place for all systems with MAX_NUMNODES
less than BITS_PER_LONG (default is 16 for me).

Moving them to header file doesn't blow up the kernel size:
add/remove: 1/2 grow/shrink: 9/5 up/down: 968/-88 (880)

The nodemask routines had mixed return values that provided potentially
signed return values that could never happen. This was leading to the
compiler getting confusing about the range of possible return values
(it was thinking things could be negative where they could not be). Fix
all the nodemask routines that should be returning unsigned
(or bool) values. Silences:

 mm/swapfile.c: In function ‘setup_swap_info’:
 mm/swapfile.c:2291:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds of ‘struct plist_node[]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]

<title>nodemask.h: fix compilation error with GCC12</title>

<id>37462a920392cb86541650a6f4121155f11f1199</id>

With gcc version 12.0.1 20220401 (Red Hat 12.0.1-0), building with
defconfig results in the following compilation error:

|   CC      mm/swapfile.o
| mm/swapfile.c: In function `setup_swap_info':
| mm/swapfile.c:2291:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds
|  of `struct plist_node[]' [-Werror=array-bounds]
|  2291 |                                 p-&gt;avail_lists[i].prio = 1;
|       |                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~
| In file included from mm/swapfile.c:16:
| ./include/linux/swap.h:292:27: note: while referencing `avail_lists'
|   292 |         struct plist_node avail_lists[]; /*
|       |                           ^~~~~~~~~~~

This is due to the compiler detecting that the mask in
node_states[__state] could theoretically be zero, which would lead to
first_node() returning -1 through find_first_bit.

I believe that the warning/error is legitimate.  I first tried adding a
test to check that the node mask is not emtpy, since a similar test exists
in the case where MAX_NUMNODES == 1.

However, adding the if statement causes other warnings to appear in
for_each_cpu_node_but, because it introduces a dangling else ambiguity. 
And unfortunately, GCC is not smart enough to detect that the added test
makes the case where (node) == -1 impossible, so it still complains with
the same message.

This is why I settled on replacing that with a harmless, but relatively
useless (node) &gt;= 0 test.  Based on the warning for the dangling else, I
also decided to fix the case where MAX_NUMNODES == 1 by moving the
condition inside the for loop.  It will still only be tested once.  This
ensures that the meaning of an else following for_each_node_mask or
derivatives would not silently have a different meaning depending on the
configuration.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out min()/max()
et al.  helpers.

At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header.
Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid
twisted indirected includes for other existing users.

et al.  helpers.

At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header.
Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid
twisted indirected includes for other existing users.

<title>ACPI: Support Generic Initiator only domains</title>

Generic Initiators are a new ACPI concept that allows for the
description of proximity domains that contain a device which
performs memory access (such as a network card) but neither
host CPU nor Memory.

This patch has the parsing code and provides the infrastructure
for an architecture to associate these new domains with their
nearest memory processing node.

Number of online NUMA nodes can't be negative as well.  This doesn't
save space as the variable is used only in 32-bit context, but do it
anyway for consistency.

Number of NUMA nodes can't be negative.

<title>mm: fix comment for NODEMASK_ALLOC</title>
<updated>2018-08-22T17:52:45+00:00</updated>

<id>5df66d306ec9b1952d3d183fe4e2ced1a7b2bddb</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, NODEMASK_ALLOC allocates a nodemask_t with kmalloc when
NODES_SHIFT is higher than 8, otherwise it declares it within the stack.

The comment says that the reasoning behind this, is that nodemask_t will
be 256 bytes when NODES_SHIFT is higher than 8, but this is not true.  For
example, NODES_SHIFT = 9 will give us a 64 bytes nodemask_t.  Let us fix
up the comment for that.

Another thing is that it might make sense to let values lower than
128bytes be allocated in the stack.  Although this all depends on the
depth of the stack (and this changes from function to function), I think
that 64 bytes is something we can easily afford.  So we could even bump
the limit by 1 (from &gt; 8 to &gt; 9).
