Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] x86: Always define BUG() and HAVE_ARCH_BUG, even with !CONFIG_BUG
Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2014 18:03:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0c48ec31fe236361884f49d559f895b3883846c2.1394412745.git.josh@joshtriplett.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <17c859aa7dcccec43df0a0c8908911b982764c76.1394412745.git.josh@joshtriplett.org>

This ensures that BUG() always has a definition that causes a trap (via
an undefined instruction), and that the compiler still recognizes the
code following BUG() as unreachable, avoiding warnings that would
otherwise appear (such as on non-void functions that don't return a
value after BUG()).

In addition to saving a few bytes over the generic infinite-loop
implementation, this implementation traps rather than looping, which
potentially allows for better error-recovery behavior (such as by
rebooting).
