Subject[PATCH v3 0/4] cpumask: Fix invalid uniprocessor assumptions
Date
On uniprocessor builds, it is currently assumed that any cpumask will
contain the single CPU: cpu0. This assumption is used to provide
optimised implementations.

The current assumption also appears to be wrong, by ignoring the fact
that users can provide empty cpumask-s. This can result in bugs as
explained in [1].

This series introduces some basic tests, and updates the optimisations
for uniprocessor builds.
