Burak Emir 38cc91db2e rust: add find_bit_benchmark_rust module.
Microbenchmark protected by a config FIND_BIT_BENCHMARK_RUST,
following `find_bit_benchmark.c` but testing the Rust Bitmap API.

We add a fill_random() method protected by the config in order to
maintain the abstraction.

The sample output from the benchmark, both C and Rust version:

find_bit_benchmark.c output:

Here are the results from 32 samples, with 95% confidence interval.
The microbenchmark was built with RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED=n and run on a
machine that did not execute other processes.

Random-filled bitmap:
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
| Benchmark | Lang  | Mean (ms) | Std Dev (ms) | 95% CI Lo | 95% CI Hi |
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
| find_bit/ | C     |    825.07 |        53.89 |    806.40 |    843.74 |
| next_bit  | Rust  |    870.91 |        46.29 |    854.88 |    886.95 |
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
| find_zero/| C     |    933.56 |        56.34 |    914.04 |    953.08 |
| next_zero | Rust  |    945.85 |        60.44 |    924.91 |    966.79 |
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+

Rust appears 5.5% slower for next_bit, 1.3% slower for next_zero.

Sparse bitmap:
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
| Benchmark | Lang  | Mean (ms) | Std Dev (ms) | 95% CI Lo | 95% CI Hi |
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
| find_bit/ | C     |     13.17 |         6.21 |     11.01 |     15.32 |
| next_bit  | Rust  |     14.30 |         8.27 |     11.43 |     17.17 |
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+
| find_zero/| C     |   1859.31 |        82.30 |   1830.80 |   1887.83 |
| next_zero | Rust  |   1908.09 |       139.82 |   1859.65 |   1956.54 |
+-----------+-------+-----------+--------------+-----------+-----------+

Rust appears 8.5% slower for next_bit, 2.6% slower for next_zero.

In summary, taking the arithmetic mean of all slow-downs, we can say
the Rust API has a 4.5% slowdown.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
