The __MAKE_OP machinery hides the fixed-width bitfield helper definitions from source searches and makes the end result highly obscured and largely uncontrolled. This follows earlier discussions about making these helpers easier to find: [1], [2]. Move the explicit helpers and their shared checks into linux/bitfield-fix-width.h in both the kernel and tools headers, and include it from bitfield.h to preserve existing users. The repeated overflow check is factored into __assert_field(), preserving the original condition and compile-time diagnostics. With GCC 15.2.0 and x86-64 defconfig plus the bitfield KUnit tests, the before/after kernel builds are binary identical. The __MAKE_OP generates the following 40 functions (including the direct ____MAKE_OP(u8,u8,,) invocation): u8_encode_bits() u8_replace_bits() u8p_replace_bits() u8_get_bits() le16_encode_bits() le16_replace_bits() [dead code] le16p_replace_bits() le16_get_bits() be16_encode_bits() be16_replace_bits() [dead code] be16p_replace_bits() [dead code] be16_get_bits() u16_encode_bits() u16_replace_bits() u16p_replace_bits() u16_get_bits() le32_encode_bits() le32_replace_bits() [dead code] le32p_replace_bits() le32_get_bits() be32_encode_bits() be32_replace_bits() [dead code] be32p_replace_bits() be32_get_bits() u32_encode_bits() u32_replace_bits() u32p_replace_bits() u32_get_bits() le64_encode_bits() le64_replace_bits() [dead code] le64p_replace_bits() [dead code] le64_get_bits() be64_encode_bits() be64_replace_bits() [dead code] be64p_replace_bits() [dead code] be64_get_bits() u64_encode_bits() u64_replace_bits() u64p_replace_bits() u64_get_bits() Functions marked with [dead code] have no in-tree callers and are removed by this change.
