BIT(), GENMASK(), etc. are useful to define register bits of hardware. However, low-level code is often written in assembly, where they are not available due to the hard-coded 1UL, 0UL. In fact, in-kernel headers such as arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h use _BITUL() instead of BIT() so that the register bit macros are available in assembly. Using macros in include/uapi/linux/const.h have two reasons: [1] For use in uapi headers We should use underscore-prefixed variants for user-space. [2] For use in assembly code Since _BITUL() uses UL(1) instead of 1UL, it can be used as an alternative of BIT(). For [2], it is pretty easy to change BIT() etc. for use in assembly. This allows to replace _BUTUL() in kernel-space headers with BIT().
