Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
88d6f130e5
It was reported that the max_t, ilog2, and roundup_pow_of_two macros have
exponential effects on the number of states in the sparse checker.
This patch breaks them up by calculating the "nbuckets" first so that the
"bucket_log" only needs to take ilog2().
In addition, Linus mentioned:
Patch looks good, but I'd like to point out that it's not just sparse.
You can see it with a simple
make net/core/bpf_sk_storage.i
grep 'smap->bucket_log = ' net/core/bpf_sk_storage.i | wc
and see the end result:
1 365071 2686974
That's one line (the assignment line) that is 2,686,974 characters in
length.
Now, sparse does happen to react particularly badly to that (I didn't
look to why, but I suspect it's just that evaluating all the types
that don't actually ever end up getting used ends up being much more
expensive than it should be), but I bet it's not good for gcc either.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
