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
