Some background: when I added the input check to GENMASK there was
originally a check that disabled the input check if gcc versions earlier
than 4.9, since for old compilers, there was a bug [1] where for some
constructs, __builtin_constant_p() did not evaluate to a constant. This
was supposedly fixed in gcc 4.9, but apparently there are newer gcc
versions which suffer from this too.

Yes, (as Yury pointed out), GENMASK is used in for example structure
initializers where BUIlD_BUG() can not be used.

Does the following work for you? For simplicity, I copied__is_constexpr from
include/linux/minmax.h (which isn't available in tools/). A proper patch
would reuse __is_constexpr (possibly refactoring it to a separate
header since bits.h including minmax.h for that only seems smelly) and fix
bits.h in the kernel header as well, to keep the files in sync.

I think any solution which results in using __GENMASK to avoid the input
check will just result in similar reports in the future.
