In 5.12 cycle we enabled GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT config option for ARM64 and MIPS. It increased performance and shrunk .text size; and so far I didn't receive any negative feedback on the change. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20210225135700.1381396-1-yury.norov@gmail.com/ Now I think it's a good time to switch all architectures to use find_{first,last}_bit() unconditionally, and so remove corresponding config option. The patch does't introduce functioal changes for arc, arm, arm64, mips, m68k, s390 and x86, for other architectures I expect improvement both in performance and .text size.

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.
