Yury Norov 4441fca0a2 lib: test module for find_*_bit() functions
find_bit functions are widely used in the kernel, including hot paths.
This module tests performance of those functions in 2 typical scenarios:
randomly filled bitmap with relatively equal distribution of set and
cleared bits, and sparse bitmap which has 1 set bit for 500 cleared
bits.

On ThunderX machine:

	 Start testing find_bit() with random-filled bitmap
	find_next_bit:          240043 cycles,  164062 iterations
	find_next_zero_bit:     312848 cycles,  163619 iterations
	find_last_bit:          193748 cycles,  164062 iterations
	find_first_bit:      177720874 cycles,  164062 iterations

	 Start testing find_bit() with sparse bitmap
	find_next_bit:            3633 cycles,     656 iterations
	find_next_zero_bit:     620399 cycles,  327025 iterations
	find_last_bit:            3038 cycles,     656 iterations
	find_first_bit:         691407 cycles,     656 iterations

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
