[PATCH 1/2] include: kernel.h: deduplicate code implementing min*, max* and clamp* macros

From: Michal Nazarewicz
Date: Thu Sep 11 2014 - 17:45:48 EST


Apart from temporary variable names, min and max macros have only one
difference -- the operator used to compare the arguments. Furthermore,
min and min_t differ only in the type used for the temporary variables.
Same with max and max_t. All of those macros can be trivially folded
into a single generic implementation which takes the operator used and
type of the arguments.

Furthermore, similarly to how clamp uses min(max(â), â) call, clamp_t
can be simplified to do the same but with min_t(max_t(â), â). And
finally, clamp_val is just a special case of clamp_t where type is
typeof(val).
