Bitmaps are fairly popular for their space efficiency, but we don't have
generic iterators available. Make percpu's bitmap region iterators
available to everyone.

<title>percpu: Use struct_size() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct pcpu_alloc_info {
	...
        struct pcpu_group_info  groups[];
};

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

So, replace the following form:

sizeof(*ai) + nr_groups * sizeof(ai-&gt;groups[0])

with:

struct_size(ai, groups, nr_groups)

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

pcpu_setup_first_chunk() will panic or BUG_ON if the are some
error and doesn't return any error, hence it can be defined to

In free_percpu() we sometimes call pcpu_schedule_balance_work() to
queue a work item (which does a wakeup) while holding pcpu_lock.
This creates an unnecessary lock dependency between pcpu_lock and
the scheduler's pi_lock.  There are other places where we call
pcpu_schedule_balance_work() without hold pcpu_lock, and this case
doesn't need to be different.

Moving the call outside the lock prevents the following lockdep splat
when running tools/testing/selftests/bpf/{test_maps,test_progs} in
sequence with lockdep enabled:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &amp;(&amp;pool-&gt;lock)-&gt;rlock --&gt; &amp;htab-&gt;buckets[i].lock --&gt; pcpu_lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(pcpu_lock);
                               lock(&amp;htab-&gt;buckets[i].lock);
                               lock(pcpu_lock);
  lock(&amp;(&amp;pool-&gt;lock)-&gt;rlock);

<content type='text'>
Since commit ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
at boot "____ptrval____" is printed instead of actual addresses:

    percpu: Embedded 38 pages/cpu @(____ptrval____) s124376 r0 d31272 u524288

Instead of changing the print to "%px", and leaking kernel addresses,
just remove the print completely, cfr. e.g. commit 071929dbdd865f77
("arm64: Stop printing the virtual memory layout").

<title>percpu: use chunk scan_hint to skip some scanning</title>

Just like blocks, chunks now maintain a scan_hint. This can be used to
skip some scanning by promoting the scan_hint to be the contig_hint.
The chunk's scan_hint is primarily updated on the backside and relies on
full scanning when a block becomes free or the free region spans across
blocks.

<title>percpu: convert chunk hints to be based on pcpu_block_md</title>

As mentioned in the last patch, a chunk's hints are no different than a
block just responsible for more bits. This converts chunk level hints to
use a pcpu_block_md to maintain them. This lets us reuse the same hint
helper functions as a block. The left_free and right_free are unused by
the chunk's pcpu_block_md.
