Subject: [PATCH next 10/14] bits: Fix assmebler expansions of GENMASK_Uxx() and BIT_Uxx()
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 14:57:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260121145731.3623-11-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260121145731.3623-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

The assembler only supports one type of signed integers, so expressions
using BITS_PER_LONG (etc) cannot be guaranteed to be correct.

Use ((2 << (h)) - (1 << (l))) for all assembler GENMASK() expansions and
add definitions of BIT_Uxx() as (1 << (nr)).

Note that 64bit results are (probably) only correct for 64bit builds
and 128bits results will never be valid.
