Greetings,
Today's next kernel fails to build with gcc 4.8.5 on powerpc machine.
./include/linux/jiffies.h: In function ‘jiffies_delta_to_clock_t’:
./include/linux/kernel.h:855:2: error: first argument to ‘__builtin_choose_expr’ not a constant
__builtin_choose_expr(__builtin_constant_p(x) && \
^
./include/linux/kernel.h:867:19: note: in expansion of macro ‘__max’
#define max(x, y) __max(typeof(x), typeof(y), x, y)
Machine Type: Power8 Baremetal
gcc: 4.8.5
Builds fine when below patch is reverted
c7c133f3 kernel.h: skip single-eval logic on literals in min()/max()

Thanks for the report. Just for the future, please include the
next-XXXXXXXX tag when making reports about linux-next.

Those patches have been removed from today's linux-next (next-20180314).
