[PATCH v10] lib: Add a simple prime number generator

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Thu Dec 22 14:45:14 UTC 2016


Prime numbers are interesting for testing components that use multiplies
and divides, such as testing DRM's struct drm_mm alignment computations.

v2: Move to lib/, add selftest
v3: Fix initial constants (exclude 0/1 from being primes)
v4: More RCU markup to keep 0day/sparse happy
v5: Fix RCU unwind on module exit, add to kselftests
v6: Tidy computation of bitmap size
v7: for_each_prime_number_from()
v8: Compose small-primes using BIT() for easier verification
v9: Move rcu dance entirely into callers.
v10: Improve quote for Betrand's Postulate (aka Chebyshev's theorem)
