From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: sboyd@codeaurora.org (Stephen Boyd) Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:07:44 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Print BUG instead of undefined instruction on BUG_ON() Message-ID: <1326733664-4095-1-git-send-email-sboyd@codeaurora.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org The ARM kernel uses undefined instructions to implement BUG/BUG_ON(). This leads to problems where people don't read one line above the Oops message and see the "kernel BUG at ..." message and so they wrongly assume the kernel has hit an undefined instruction. Instead of printing: Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP print Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP This should prevent people from thinking the BUG_ON was an undefined instruction when it was actually intentional.
