Subject: [PATCH] Put the BUG __FILE__ and __LINE__ info out of line
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 23:00:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <451B64E3.9020900@goop.org> (raw)

When CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is enabled, the embedded file and line
information makes a disassembler very unhappy, because it tries to
parse them as instructions (it probably makes the CPU's instruction
decoder a little unhappy too).

This patch moves them out of line, and calls the ud2 from the code -
the call makes sure the original %eip is available on the top of the
stack.  The result is a happy disassembler, with no loss of debugging
information.
