Subject: [PATCH 1/1] bitfield.h: Ensure FIELD_PREP_CONST() is constant
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:09:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410090927.60484-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Some versions of gcc report that some expressions involving
__builtin_ffsll(1ull << 63) are not integer constant expressions.
Rework FIELD_PREP_CONST() to avoid the issue.
Signed-off-by: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

Note that when 'val' is a variable 'val << constant' is likely
to execute faster than 'val * (1 << constant)'.
So the normal FIELD_PREP() is best left alone.
