lib/cpumask: deprecate nr_cpumask_bits
Cpumask code is written in assumption that when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled, all cpumasks have boot-time defined size, otherwise the size is always NR_CPUS. The latter is wrong because the number of possible cpus is always calculated on boot, and it may be less than NR_CPUS. On my 4-cpu arm64 VM the nr_cpu_ids is 4, as expected, and nr_cpumask_bits is 256, which corresponds to NR_CPUS. This not only leads to useless traversing of cpumask bits greater than 4, this also makes some cpumask routines fail. For example, cpumask_full(0b1111000..000) would erroneously return false in the example above because tail bits in the mask are all unset. This patch deprecates nr_cpumask_bits and wires it to nr_cpu_ids unconditionally, so that cpumask routines will not waste time traversing unused part of cpu masks. It also fixes cpumask_full() and similar routines. As a side effect, because now a length of cpumasks is defined at run-time even if CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is disabled, compiler can't optimize corresponding functions. It increases kernel size by ~2.5KB if OFFSTACK is off. This is addressed in the following patch. Signed-off-by: Yury Norov <yury.norov@gmail.com>
