This patch leverages the alternative mechanism to dynamically optimize bitops (including __ffs, __fls, ffs, fls) with Zbb instructions. When Zbb ext is not supported by the runtime CPU, legacy implementation is used. If Zbb is supported, then the optimized variants will be selected via alternative patching. The legacy bitops support is taken from the generic C implementation as fallback. If the parameter is a build-time constant, we leverage compiler builtin to calculate the result directly, this approach is inspired by x86 bitops implementation. EFI stub runs before the kernel, so alternative mechanism should not be used there, this patch introduces a macro NO_ALTERNATIVE for this purpose.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
