Hi,

I am building Kernel 4.9.4 i386_defconfig and I notice a lot of (unconditional) 
use of the macro HPAGE_PMD_NR:

In mm/huge_mm.h:
...
#define HPAGE_PMD_ORDER (HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT)
#define HPAGE_PMD_NR (1<<HPAGE_PMD_ORDER)

#ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
...
#else /* CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE */
#define HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT ({ BUILD_BUG(); 0; })
#define HPAGE_PMD_MASK ({ BUILD_BUG(); 0; })
#define HPAGE_PMD_SIZE ({ BUILD_BUG(); 0; })
...

Using HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT with CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE  out-configured should 
trip the BUILD_BUG() macro, but somehow doesn't. Or, more likely, I am missing 
something.

However, the BUILD_BUG() macro _does_ trip as expected when trying to compile 
without inlines (-fno-inline), at the locations on the list below. If I replace 
the offending macros in the list below with '0', no other compiler errors 
occur. The Kernel still won't link, but that was expected.

When building with -fno-inline and CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE  configured-in, 
no BUILD_BUG() (or other compiler errors) occur, as expected. So I do think 
this is a valid test case for the BUILD_BUG() macro.

Am I missing something obvious here? Any hint is appreciated!

Thanks,

        Robert.
