Yury Norov 98c5ec77c7 ARM64: enable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT
ARM64 doesn't implement find_first_{zero}_bit in arch code and doesn't
enable it in a config. It leads to using find_next_bit() which is less
efficient:

Enabling find_{first,next}_bit() would also benefit for_each_{set,clear}_bit().
On A-53 find_first_bit() is almost twice faster than find_next_bit(), according
to lib/find_bit_benchmark (thanks to Alexey for testing):

GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=n:
[7126084.948181] find_first_bit:               47389224 ns,  16357 iterations
[7126085.032315] find_first_bit:               19048193 ns,    655 iterations

GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y:
[   84.158068] find_first_bit:               27193319 ns,  16406 iterations
[   84.233005] find_first_bit:               11082437 ns,    656 iterations

GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=n bloats the kernel despite that it disables generation
of find_{first,next}_bit():

        yury:linux$ scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux vmlinux.ffb
        add/remove: 4/1 grow/shrink: 19/251 up/down: 564/-1692 (-1128)
        ...

Overall, GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=n is harmful both in terms of performance and
code size, and it's better to have GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT enabled.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
