lib/bitrev: Introduce GENERIC_BITREVERSE

The generic bit reversal implementation is controlled by
!HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE. This makes it difficult for architectures to
provide a hardware-accelerated implementation while being able to
fall back to the generic version if needed.

This patch adds GENERIC_BITREVERSE, so bitreverse API is controlled by
BITREVERSE, GENERIC_BITREVERSE and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE options. The
relationship between them is described as follows:

- BITREVERSE is selected by user code; it's required to generate the API;
- Architectures may select HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE and provide an arch
implementation in arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/bitrev.h.
- if HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE isn't set, BITREVERSE selects GENERIC_BITREVERSE;
- if GENERIC_BITREVERSE is set and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE is not, the kernel
provides generic implementation only, and wires bitrevXX() to it.
- if HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE is set and GENERIC_BITREVERSE is not, the arch
code provides __arch_bitrevXX(), and it is wired to bitrevXX();
- if both GENERIC_BITREVERSE and HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE are selected, the kernel
generates generic___bitrev(), but wires bitrev() to the __arch_bitrev().

The last option allows architectures to use generic___bitrev() as a
fallback option.

Drivers and core code should never select GENERIC_BITREVERSE or
HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE explicitly.

Architectures that require generic bitreverse API as a fallback should
explicitly enable GENERIC_BITREVERSE together with HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE.

- "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()" (Junrui Luo)

- "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)

A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to
quote Christoph:

"The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography
and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations
sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations
sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for
many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into
the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture
code.

Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric
Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After
that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for
smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained
here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call
overhead"

Law and SeongJae Park)

Fix a few potential DAMON bugs

- "mm/vma: convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t in vma code" (Lorenzo
Stoakes)

Convert a lot of the existing use of the legacy vm_flags_t data type
to the new vma_flags_t type which replaces it. Mainly in the vma
code.

- "mm: expand mmap_prepare functionality and usage" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

Expand the mmap_prepare functionality, which is intended to replace
the deprecated f_op->mmap hook which has been the source of bugs and
security issues for some time. Cleanups, documentation, extension of
mmap_prepare into filesystem drivers

- "mm/huge_memory: refactor zap_huge_pmd()" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

Simplify and clean up zap_huge_pmd(). Additional cleanups around
vm_normal_folio_pmd() and the softleaf functionality are performed.

bl

ubsan: turn off kmsan inside of ubsan instrumentation

The structure initialization in the two type mismatch handling functions
causes a call to __msan_memset() to be generated inside of a UACCESS
block, which in turn leads to an objtool warning about possibly leaking
uaccess-enabled state:

lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch+0xda: call to __msan_memset() with UACCESS enabled
lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1+0xf4: call to __msan_memset() with UACCESS enabled

Most likely __msan_memset() is safe to be called here and could be added
to the uaccess_safe_builtin[] list of safe functions, but seeing that the
ubsan file itself already has kasan, ubsan and kcsan disabled itself, it
is probably a good idea to also turn off kmsan here, in particular this
also avoids the risk of recursing between ubsan and kcsan checks in other
functions of this file.

I saw this happen while testing randconfig builds with clang-22, but did
not try older versions, or attempt to see which kernel change introduced
the warning.
