Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] drm/drm_buddy fails to initialize on 32-bit architectures

Re-sending with the correct  linux-kernel mailing list email address.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

The proposed patch fixes the issue and allows amdgpu to work again on
armhf with a AMD RX 550 card, however it may not be the best solution
for the issue, as detailed below.

include/log2.h defined macros rounddown_pow_of_two(...) and
roundup_pow_of_two(...) do not handle 64-bit values on 32-bit
architectures (tested on armv9 armhf machine) causing
drm_buddy_init(...) to fail on BUG_ON with an underflow on the order
value, thus impeding amdgpu to load properly (no GUI).

One option is to modify rounddown_pow_of_two(...) to detect if the
variable takes 32 bits or less and call __rounddown_pow_of_two_u32(u32
n) or if the variable takes more space than 32 bits, then call
__rounddown_pow_of_two_u64(u64 n). This would imply renaming
__rounddown_pow_of_two(unsigne
d long n) to
__rounddown_pow_of_two_u32(u32 n) and add a new function
__rounddown_pow_of_two_u64(u64 n). This would be the most transparent
solution, however there a few complications, and they are:
- that the mm subsystem will fail to link on armhf with an undefined
reference on __aeabi_uldivmod
- there a few drivers that directly call __rounddown_pow_of_two(...)
- that other drivers and subsystems generate warnings

So this alternate solution was devised which avoids touching existing
code paths, and just updates drm_buddy which seems to be the only
driver that is failing, however I am not sure if this is the proper
way to go. So I would like to get a second opinion on this, by those
who know.
