The number of times yet another open coded
`BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) * sizeof(long)` can be spotted is huge.
Some generic helper is long overdue.
Add one, bitmap_size(), but with one detail.
BITS_TO_LONGS() uses DIV_ROUND_UP(). The latter works well when both
divident and divisor are compile-time constants or when the divisor
is not a pow-of-2. When it is however, the compilers sometimes tend
to generate suboptimal code (GCC 13):
48 83 c0 3f add $0x3f,%rax
48 c1 e8 06 shr $0x6,%rax
48 8d 14 c5 00 00 00 00 lea 0x0(,%rax,8),%rdx
%BITS_PER_LONG is always a pow-2 (either 32 or 64), but GCC still does
full division of `nbits + 63` by it and then multiplication by 8.
Instead of BITS_TO_LONGS(), use ALIGN() and then divide by 8. GCC:
8d 50 3f lea 0x3f(%rax),%edx
c1 ea 03 shr $0x3,%edx
81 e2 f8 ff ff 1f and $0x1ffffff8,%edx
Now it shifts `nbits + 63` by 3 positions (IOW performs fast division
by 8) and then masks bits[2:0]. bloat-o-meter:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 20/133 up/down: 156/-773 (-617)
Clang does it better and generates the same code before/after starting
from -O1, except that with the ALIGN() approach it uses %edx and thus
still saves some bytes:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 9/133 up/down: 18/-538 (-520)
Note that we can't expand DIV_ROUND_UP() by adding a check and using
this approach there, as it's used in array declarations where
expressions are not allowed.
Add this helper to tools/ as well.
