[PATCH V4 0/2] uapi: Add support for GENMASK_U128()

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Thu Aug 22 2024 - 00:49:25 EST


This adds support for GENMASK_U128() and some corresponding tests as well.
GENMASK_U128() generated 128 bit masks will be required later on the arm64
platform for enabling FEAT_SYSREG128 and FEAT_D128 features.

Because GENMAKS_U128() depends on __int128 data type being supported in the
compiler, its usage needs to be protected with CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128.

This series is being used for an work in progress on arm64 platform.

Changes in V4:

- Folded in the below patch which guards against assembly code
- Fixed __GENMASK_U128() for the corner case (128 bit left shift)
- Improved genmask_u128_test() and genmask_input_check_test()
