kernel: Add helper macros for loop unrolling
This helps in easily initializing blocks of code (e.g. static calls and keys). UNROLL(N, MACRO, __VA_ARGS__) calls MACRO N times with the first argument as the index of the iteration. This allows string pasting to create unique tokens for variable names, function calls etc. As an example: #include <linux/unroll.h> #define MACRO(N, a, b) \ int add_##N(int a, int b) \ { \ return a + b + N; \ } UNROLL(2, MACRO, x, y) expands to: int add_0(int x, int y) { return x + y + 0; } int add_1(int x, int y) { return x + y + 1; } Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com> Reviewed-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Acked-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Acked-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com> Nacked-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: KP Singh <kpsingh@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
