[RFC PATCH v2 1/7] x86/runtime-const: Introduce runtime_const_mask_32()

From: K Prateek Nayak

Date: Mon Mar 16 2026 - 01:25:11 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Futex hash computation requires a mask operation with read-only after
init data that will be converted to a runtime constant in the subsequent
commit.

Introduce runtime_const_mask_32 to further optimize the mask operation
in the futex hash computation hot path.

[ prateek: Broke off the x86 chunk, commit message. ]
