+Subject: [PATCH] give up on gcc ilog2() constant optimizations
+
+gcc-7 has an "optimization" pass that completely screws up, and
+generates the code expansion for the (impossible) case of calling
+ilog2() with a zero constant, even when the code gcc compiles does not
+actually have a zero constant.
+
+And we try to generate a compile-time error for anybody doing ilog2() on
+a constant where that doesn't make sense (be it zero or negative). So
+now gcc7 will fail the build due to our sanity checking, because it
+created that constant-zero case that didn't actually exist in the source
+code.
+
+There's a whole long discussion on the kernel mailing about how to work
+around this gcc bug. The gcc people themselevs have discussed their
+"feature" in
+
+ https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72785
+
+but it's all water under the bridge, because while it looked at one
+point like it would be solved by the time gcc7 was released, that was
+not to be.
+
+So now we have to deal with this compiler braindamage.
+
+And the only simple approach seems to be to just delete the code that
+tries to warn about bad uses of ilog2().
+
+So now "ilog2()" will just return 0 not just for the value 1, but for
+any non-positive value too.
+
+It's not like I can recall anybody having ever actually tried to use
+this function on any invalid value, but maybe the sanity check just
+meant that such code never made it out in public.
