BITMAP_{LAST,FIRST}_WORD_MASK() in linux/bitmap.h duplicates the
functionality of GENMASK(). The scope of there macros is wider than just
bitmap. This patch defines 4 new macros: BITS_FIRST(), BITS_LAST(),
BITS_FIRST_MASK() and BITS_LAST_MASK() in linux/bits.h on top of GENMASK()
and replaces BITMAP_{LAST,FIRST}_WORD_MASK() to avoid duplication and
increases scope of the macros.

Answering to your reply. I meant to split the below to a separate patch.

 tools/include/linux/bits.h        |  6 ++++++
 tools/lib/bitmap.c                |  6 +++---
 tools/lib/find_bit.c              |  2 +-
 tools/testing/radix-tree/bitmap.c |  4 ++--

...

+#define BITS_FIRST(nr)		GENMASK((nr), 0)
+#define BITS_LAST(nr)		GENMASK(BITS_PER_LONG - 1, (nr))
+
+#define BITS_FIRST_MASK(nr)	BITS_FIRST((nr) % BITS_PER_LONG)
+#define BITS_LAST_MASK(nr)	BITS_LAST((nr) % BITS_PER_LONG)

Any pointers to the difference in generated code for popular architectures
(x86. x86_64, arm, aarch64, ppc, ppc64)?
