This seems like a bug in the macro or the compiler, because val is not
a constant ?

__builtin_constant_p(val) should return false ???

+#define percpu_add_op(size, qual, var, val)                            \
+do {                                                                   \
+       const int pao_ID__ = (__builtin_constant_p(val) &&              \
+                             ((val) == 1 || (val) == -1)) ?            \
+                               (int)(val) : 0;                         \
+       if (0) {                                                        \

+               pao_tmp__ = (val);                                      \
