Subject: [PATCH 00/11] ARM: Use invalid opcode also for warnings
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:21:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010-arm_warning-v1-0-ddf4be42ae0d@breakpoint.cc> (raw)
ARM is already using an invalid opcode for BUG(). WARN_ON() an its
variants are not optimised this way. The series here massages the BUG()
implementation until __WARN_FLAGS() can make use of it. Here is
comparison build of the defconfig with and without the series:
| text data bss filename
| 19678700 10728606 407364 vmlinux
| 19434880 10814198 407748 vmlinux-patched
text -238KiB, data +84KiB, bss +384
| 19680276 10699150 408132 vmlinux-!DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
| 19443392 10735644 408516 vmlinux-patched-!DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
text -231KiB, data +36KiB, +384
In general the text savings are greater than the increment in data.
