Merge tag 'ffs-const-v6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull ffs const-attribute cleanups from Kees Cook:
 "While working on various hardening refactoring a while back we
  encountered inconsistencies in the application of __attribute_const__
  on the ffs() family of functions.

  This series fixes this across all archs and adds KUnit tests.

  Notably, this found a theoretical underflow in PCI (also fixed here)
  and uncovered an inefficiency in ARC (fixed in the ARC arch PR). I
  kept the series separate from the general hardening PR since it is a
  stand-alone "topic".

   - PCI: Fix theoretical underflow in use of ffs().

   - Universally apply __attribute_const__ to all architecture's
     ffs()-family of functions.

   - Add KUnit tests for ffs() behavior and const-ness"
