I already have: include/linux/compiler.h

/*
 * "Define 'is'", Bill Clinton
 * "Define 'if'", Steven Rostedt
 */
#define if(cond, ...) __trace_if( (cond , ## __VA_ARGS__) )
#define __trace_if(cond) \
	if (__builtin_constant_p((cond)) ? !!(cond) :			\
	({								\
		int ______r;						\
		static struct ftrace_branch_data			\
			__attribute__((__aligned__(4)))			\
			__attribute__((section("_ftrace_branch")))	\
			______f = {					\
				.func = __func__,			\
				.file = __FILE__,			\
				.line = __LINE__,			\
			};						\
		______r = !!(cond);					\
		______f.miss_hit[______r]++;					\
		______r;						\
	}))
