Alan Somers 8907f744ff Improve performance and functionality of the bitstring(3) api
Two new functions are provided, bit_ffs_at() and bit_ffc_at(), which allow
for efficient searching of set or cleared bits starting from any bit offset
within the bit string.

Performance is improved by operating on longs instead of bytes and using
ffsl() for searches within a long. ffsl() is a compiler builtin in both
clang and gcc for most architectures, converting what was a brute force
while loop search into a couple of instructions.

All of the bitstring(3) API continues to be contained in the header file.
Some of the functions are large enough that perhaps they should be uninlined
and moved to a library, but that is beyond the scope of this commit.

sys/sys/bitstring.h:
        Convert the majority of the existing bit string implementation from
        macros to inline functions.

        Properly protect the implementation from inadvertant macro expansion
        when included in a user's program by prefixing all private
        macros/functions and local variables with '_'.

        Add bit_ffs_at() and bit_ffc_at(). Implement bit_ffs() and
        bit_ffc() in terms of their "at" counterparts.

        Provide a kernel implementation of bit_alloc(), making the full API
        usable in the kernel.

        Improve code documenation.

share/man/man3/bitstring.3:
        Add pre-exisiting API bit_ffc() to the synopsis.

        Document new APIs.

        Document the initialization state of the bit strings
        allocated/declared by bit_alloc() and bit_decl().

        Correct documentation for bitstr_size(). The original code comments
        indicate the size is in bytes, not "elements of bitstr_t". The new
        implementation follows this lead. Only hastd assumed "elements"
        rather than bytes and it has been corrected.

etc/mtree/BSD.tests.dist:
tests/sys/Makefile:
tests/sys/sys/Makefile:
tests/sys/sys/bitstring.c:
        Add tests for all existing and new functionality.

include/bitstring.h
	Include all headers needed by sys/bitstring.h

lib/libbluetooth/bluetooth.h:
usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol/le.c:
        Include bitstring.h instead of sys/bitstring.h.

sbin/hastd/activemap.c:
        Correct usage of bitstr_size().

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c
        Use new bit_alloc.

sys/kern/subr_unit.c:
        Remove hard-coded assumption that sizeof(bitstr_t) is 1.  Get rid of
        unrb.busy, which caches the number of bits set in unrb.map.  When
        INVARIANTS are disabled, nothing needs to know that information.
        callapse_unr can be adapted to use bit_ffs and bit_ffc instead.
        Eliminating unrb.busy saves memory, simplifies the code, and
        provides a slight speedup when INVARIANTS are disabled.

sys/net/flowtable.c:
        Use the new kernel implementation of bit-alloc, instead of hacking
        the old libc-dependent macro.

sys/sys/param.h
        Update __FreeBSD_version to indicate availability of new API

README

Note: If you modify these files, please keep hier(7) updated!

These files are used to create empty file hierarchies for building the
system into.  Some notes about working with them are placed here to try
and keep them in good working order.

    a)  The files use 4 space indentation, and other than in the header
        comments, should not contain any tabs.  An indentation of 4 is
        preferable to the standard indentation of 8 because the indentation
        of levels in these files can become quite deep causing the line to
        overflow 80 characters.

        This also matches with the files generated when using the
        mtree -c option, which was implemented that way for the same reason.

    b)  Only directories should be listed here.

    c)  The listing should be kept in filename sorted order.

    d)  Sanity checking changes to these files can be done by following
        this procedure (the sed -e is ugly, but fixing mtree -c to
        not emit the trailing white space would be even uglier):

            mkdir /tmp/MTREE
            mtree -deU -f BSD.X.dist -p /tmp/MTREE
            mtree -cdin -k uname,gname,mode -p /tmp/MTREE | \
		sed -e 's/ *$//' >BSD.X.new
            diff -u BSD.X.dist BSD.X.new
            rm -r /tmp/MTREE

        Note that you will get some differences about /set lines,
        and uname= gname= on certain directory areas, mainly man page
        sections.  This is caused by mtree not having a look ahead
        mechanism for making better selections for these as it
        traverses the hierarchy.

        The BSD.X.new file should NOT be committed, as it will be missing
        the correct header, and important keywords like ``nochange''.
        Simply use the diff for a sanity check to make sure things are in
        the correct order and correctly indented.

    e)  Further sanity checking of the system builds with DESTDIR=/someplace
        are more complicated, but can often catch missing entries in these
        files.  I tend to run this more complete sanity check shortly after
        the target date for a new release is announced.

        If you want details on it bug me about it via email to
        rgrimes@FreeBSD.org.
