Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] bitmap: introduce find_random_bit() and use in clocksource

From: Yury Norov [NVIDIA] <yury.norov@...il.com>

nodemasks implement node_random(), which may also be useful for other
subsystems. Generalize the function, and propagate to cpumask API.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250604212125.25656-1-yury.norov@gmail.com/
v2: 
 - fix typos and patch #3 name format (John);
 - add comment for find_random_bit() (Andew);
 - explain single-bit optimization (Andrew);
 - don't include random.h in linux/nodemasks.h (me);

Yury Norov [NVIDIA] (3):
  bitmap: generalize node_random()
  cpumask: introduce cpumask_random()
  clocksource: Improve randomness in clocksource_verify_choose_cpus()
