[PATCH] rust: bitops: add helpers for _find_* functions

From: Alice Ryhl

Date: Wed Dec 03 2025 - 10:42:13 EST


On 32-bit ARM, _find_next_bit does not exist because ARM provides that
function through a #define instead. This means that Rust, which calls
the underscored version, fails to find it. This triggers errors:

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: _find_next_bit
>>> referenced by bitmap.rs:459 (rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:459)
>>> rust/kernel.o:(kernel::bitmap::tests::kunit_rust_wrapper_bitmap_borrow) in archive vmlinux.a
>>> referenced by bitmap.rs:459 (rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:459)
>>> rust/kernel.o:(kernel::bitmap::tests::kunit_rust_wrapper_bitmap_set_clear_find) in archive vmlinux.a
>>> referenced by bitmap.rs:459 (rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:459)
>>> rust/kernel.o:(kernel::bitmap::tests::kunit_rust_wrapper_bitmap_set_clear_find) in archive vmlinux.a
>>> referenced 10 more times

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: _find_next_zero_bit
>>> referenced by bitmap.rs:479 (rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:479)
>>> rust/kernel.o:(kernel::bitmap::tests::kunit_rust_wrapper_bitmap_copy) in archive vmlinux.a
>>> referenced by bitmap.rs:479 (rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:479)
>>> rust/kernel.o:(kernel::bitmap::tests::kunit_rust_wrapper_bitmap_set_clear_find) in archive vmlinux.a
>>> referenced by bitmap.rs:479 (rust/kernel/bitmap.rs:479)
>>> rust/kernel.o:(kernel::bitmap::tests::kunit_rust_wrapper_owned_bitmap_out_of_bounds) in archive vmlinux.a
>>> referenced 6 more times

To fix this, add Rust helpers in this particular case.
