    tools: Take @bit as an "unsigned long" in {clear,set}_bit() helpers · 7f2b47f2

    Take @bit as an unsigned long instead of a signed int in clear_bit() and
    set_bit() so that they match the double-underscore versions, __clear_bit()
    and __set_bit().  This will allow converting users that really don't want
    atomic operations to the double-underscores without introducing a
    functional change, which will in turn allow making {clear,set}_bit()
    atomic (as advertised).
    
    Practically speaking, this _should_ have no functional impact.  KVM's
    selftests usage is either hardcoded (Hyper-V tests) or is artificially
    limited (arch_timer test and dirty_log test).  In KVM, dirty_log test is
    the only mildly interesting case as it's use indirectly restricted to
    unsigned 32-bit values, but in theory it could generate a negative value
    when cast to a signed int.  But in that case, taking an "unsigned long"
    is actually a bug fix.
    
    Perf's usage is more difficult to audit, but any code that is affected
    by the switch is likely already broken.  perf_header__{set,clear}_feat()
    and perf_file_header__read() effectively use only hardcoded enums with
    small, positive values, atom_new() passes an unsigned long, but its value
    is capped at 128 via NR_ATOM_PER_PAGE, etc...
    
    The only real potential for breakage is in the perf flows that take a
    "cpu", but it's unlikely perf is subtly relying on a negative index into
    bitmaps, e.g. "cpu" can be "-1", but only as "not valid" placeholder.
    
    Note, tools/testing/nvdimm/ makes heavy use of set_bit(), but that code
    builds into a kernel module of sorts, i.e. pulls in all of the kernel's
    header and so is getting the kernel's atomic set_bit().  The NVDIMM test
    usage of atomics is likely unnecessary, e.g. ndtest_dimm_register() sets
    bits in a local variable, but that's neither here nor there as far as
    this change is concerned.
