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 cpumasks. This can result in bugs as explained in [1] - for_each_cpu() will run one iteration of the loop even when passed an empty cpumask.
This series introduces some basic tests, and updates the optimisations for uniprocessor builds.
The x86 patch was written after the kernel test robot [2] ran into a failed build. I have tried to list the files potentially affected by the changes to cpumask.h, in an attempt to find any other cases that fail on !SMP. I've gone through some of the files manually, and ran a few cross builds, but nothing else popped up. I (build) checked about half of the potientally affected files, but I do not have the resources to do them all. I hope we can fix other issues if/when they pop up later.
