While is_power_of_2() is an inline function and likely gets optimized
for compile time constant arguments, it still doesn't produce an integer
constant expression that could be used in, say, static data
initialization or case labels.
Make is_power_of_2() an integer constant expression when possible,
otherwise using the inline function to avoid multiple evaluation of the
parameter.

The alternative would be to define both a function and a macro version
of is_power_of_2(), and let the callers decide what to use.

It does what it says on the tin and allows for
static const is_pot = is_power_of_two(32);
or in the actual case of interest,
BUILD_BUG_ON(is_power_of_two(x) ? test1(x) : test2(x)).
The only question remains can build_bug.h include ilog2.h and use this
macro instead of having its own copy? Or that may be overkill for a
single commonplace macro.

hm, what code wants to do these things?

Spose so. But I fear that some gcc versions will get it right and
others will mess it up. While this patch is under test I think it
would be best to also have at least one or two callsites which actually
use the compile-time evaluation feature. Possible?

I have some drm/i915 patches that have a local compile-time version of
IS_POWER_OF_2(). It'll take a while before they hit Linus' master. This
can wait.
BR,
Jani.

Oh wow, a copy of is_power_of_2() introduced 10 years ago, apparently
unused since its introduction.
