Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: bug: Add bug macro
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 09:01:03 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709000103.2912159-1-tomo@aliasing.net> (raw)
From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>
Add bug!(), the Rust equivalent of C's BUG(). Like warn_on!(), it
emits the BUG/WARN metadata (lib/bug.c) directly via inline assembly
on x86_64/arm64/riscv/s390. This differs from bindings::BUG(), which
reaches the same C BUG() macro indirectly through a C helper
(rust/helpers/bug.c).
bindings::BUG() is already in use today, indirectly, from the kernel
crate itself and from drivers such as binder and nova-core, via
panic!()/.expect()/.unwrap() on invariants that "can't happen". All of
those funnel through panic() in kernel/lib.rs (#[panic_handler]),
which itself calls bindings::BUG().
The motivation for this patch is narrow: replace that bindings::BUG()
call in the panic() function in lib.rs with bug!(), for a somewhat
better trace. It isn't adding a new decision to crash the system; that
decision is already made at each of the existing panic!()/.expect()
call sites.
The bug!() macro is currently for internal use only, so it is marked
`#[doc(hidden)]`.

v2
- Replace bindings::BUG in lib.rs with bug!() to make the motivation clear
- Add #[doc(hidden)] to make clear that bug!() is for internal use only
- Add the bug!() macro, rather than bug_on!(), as the straightforward
choice for replacing bindings::BUG.
