2007-10-17Add a "rounddown_pow_of_two" routine to log2.hRobert P. J. Day
To go along with the existing "roundup_pow_of_two" routine, add one for rounding down since that operation appears to crop up on a regular basis in the source tree.

2007-05-18Fix roundup_pow_of_two(1)Rolf Eike Beer
1 is a power of two, therefore roundup_pow_of_two(1) should return 1. It does in case the argument is a variable but in case it's a constant it behaves wrong and returns 0. Probably nobody ever did it so this was never noticed. Signed-off-by: Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2006-12-08[PATCH] LOG2: Alter roundup_pow_of_two() so that it can use a ilog2() on a ↵David Howells
constant Alter roundup_pow_of_two() so that it can make use of ilog2() on a constant to produce a constant value, retaining the ability for an arch to override it in the non-const case. This permits the function to be used to initialise variables.

2006-12-08[PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernelDavid Howells
This facility provides three entry points: ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32 ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64 These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data: int do_something(long q) { ...; y = ilog2(x) ...; } Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values: unsigned n = ilog2(27); When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error: initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as unsigned. When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.
