Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] bug: Make BUG() always stop the machine
Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2014 18:02:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <71630a037c1a76e270e0a5cb8dd7272a73141a08.1394412745.git.josh@joshtriplett.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <17c859aa7dcccec43df0a0c8908911b982764c76.1394412745.git.josh@joshtriplett.org>

When !CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG, define the generic BUG() as an
infinite loop rather than a no-op.  This avoids undefined behavior if
execution ever actually reaches BUG(), and avoids warnings about code
after BUG() (such as on non-void functions calling BUG() and then
not returning).

v3: New patch in this series, incorporating Arnd's suggestion to make BUG()
always stop execution.  This eliminates the new warnings currently appearing in
allnoconfig due to !CONFIG_BUG; unlike v2, this avoids using unreachable(), and
thus avoids the possibility of undefined behvior if execution actually reaches
a call to BUG().
