[PATCH 0/6] Don't use BIT() macro in UAPI headers

[Joe Richey]

From: Joe Richey <joerichey@xxxxxxxxxx>

The BIT(n) macro is used in the kernel as an alias for (1 << n).
However, it is not defined in the UAPI headers, which means that any
UAPI header files must be careful not to use it, or else the user
will get a linker error. For example, compiling the following program:

    #include <sys/auxv.h>
    #include <asm/hwcap2.h>

    // Detect if FSGSBASE instructions are enabled
    int main() {
        unsigned long val = getauxval(AT_HWCAP2);
        return !(val & HWCAP2_FSGSBASE);
    }

Results in the following likner error:

    /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cceFpAdR.o: in function `main':
    gs.c:(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `BIT'

This patch series changes all UAPI uses of BIT() to just be open-coded.
However, there really should be a check for this in checkpatch.pl
Currently, the script actually _encourages_ users to use the BIT macro
even if adding things to UAPI.

Running `rg "BIT\(" **/uapi/**` shows no more usage of BIT() in any
UAPI headers. Tested by building a basic kernel. Changes are trivial.
