lib: make a test module with set/clear bit
Test some bit clears/sets to make sure assembly doesn't change, and that
the set_bit and clear_bit functions work and don't cause sparse warnings.
Instruct Kbuild to build this file with extra warning level -Wextra, to
catch new issues, and also doesn't hurt to build with C=1.
This was used to test changes to arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h.
In particular, sparse (C=1) was very concerned when the last bit before a
natural boundary, like 7, or 31, was being tested, as this causes sign
extension (0xffffff7f) for instance when clearing bit 7.
Recommended usage:
make defconfig
scripts/config -m CONFIG_TEST_BITOPS
make modules_prepare
make C=1 W=1 lib/test_bitops.ko
objdump -S -d lib/test_bitops.ko
insmod lib/test_bitops.ko
rmmod lib/test_bitops.ko
<check dmesg>, there should be no compiler/sparse warnings and no
error messages in log.
