lib/bitrev: Introduce GENERIC_BITREVERSE
The generic bit reversal implementation is controlled by
!HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE. This makes it difficult for architectures to
provide a hardware-accelerated implementation while being able to
fall back to the generic version if needed.
This patch adds GENERIC_BITREVERSE, so bitreverse API is controlled by
BITREVERSE, GENERIC_BITREVERSE and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE options. The
relationship between them is described as follows:
- BITREVERSE is selected by user code; it's required to generate the API;
- Architectures may select HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE and provide an arch
implementation in arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/bitrev.h.
- if HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE isn't set, BITREVERSE selects GENERIC_BITREVERSE;
- if GENERIC_BITREVERSE is set and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE is not, the kernel
provides generic implementation only, and wires bitrevXX() to it.
- if HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE is set and GENERIC_BITREVERSE is not, the arch
code provides __arch_bitrevXX(), and it is wired to bitrevXX();
- if both GENERIC_BITREVERSE and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE are selected, the kernel
generates generic___bitrev(), but wires bitrev() to the __arch_bitrev().
The last option allows architectures to use generic___bitrev() as a
fallback option.
Drivers and core code should never select GENERIC_BITREVERSE or
HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE explicitly.
Architectures that require generic bitreverse API as a fallback should
explicitly enable GENERIC_BITREVERSE together with HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE.
