ARM: 7017/1: Use generic BUG() handler
ARM uses its own BUG() handler which makes its output slightly different from other archtectures. One of the problems is that the ARM implementation doesn't report the function with the BUG() in it, but always reports the PC being in __bug(). The generic implementation doesn't have this problem. Currently we get something like: kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35! Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ... PC is at __bug+0x20/0x2c With this patch it displays: kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35! Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ... PC is at write_breakme+0xd0/0x1b4 This implementation uses an undefined instruction to implement BUG, and sets up a bug table containing the relevant information. Many versions of gcc do not support %c properly for ARM (inserting a # when they shouldn't) so we work around this using distasteful macro magic. v1: Initial version to replace existing ARM BUG() implementation with something more similar to other architectures. v2: Add Thumb support, remove backtrace whitespace output changes. Change to use macros instead of requiring the asm %d flag to work (thanks to Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org>) v3: Remove old BUG() implementation in favor of this one. Remove the Backtrace: message (will submit this separately). Rebase to linux-2.6.git master. v4: Allow BUGS in modules (these were not reported correctly in v3) (thanks to Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> for suggesting that.) Remove __bug() as this is no longer needed. v5: Add %progbits as the section flags.
