      bug: introduce BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() macro · baf05aa9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      Sometimes we want to check some expressions correctness at compile time.
      "(void)(e);" or "if (e);" can be dangerous if the expression has
      side-effects, and gcc sometimes generates a lot of code, even if the
      expression has no effect.
      
      This patch introduces macro BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() for such checks, it
      forces a compilation error if expression is invalid without any extra
      code.
      
      [Cast to "long" required because sizeof does not work for bit-fields.]

      bug: consolidate BUILD_BUG_ON with other bug code · 35edd910
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      The support for BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the
      addition of linux/bug.h -- with this chunk off separate,
      you can run into situations where a person gets a compile
      fail even when they've included linux/bug.h, like this:
      
          CC      lib/string.o
        lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
        lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
        make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
        $
        $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
        #include <linux/bug.h>
        $
      
      Since the above violates the principle of least surprise, move
      the BUG chunks from kernel.h to bug.h so it is all together.

      generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack() · 608e2619
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
      WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit.  Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
      gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
      pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
      warning.  This will give more debug informations like register contents,
      etc...  In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
      emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
      is of no interest in case of a warning.  E.g.  on s390 the following lines
      are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
      called from report_bug():

       [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0
       [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c
       [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8
       [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c

      [PATCH] Generic BUG implementation · 7664c5a1
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as
      they wish.  The code is derived from arch/powerpc.
      
      The advantages of having common BUG handling are:
       - consistent BUG reporting across architectures
       - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data
       - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently
      
      This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction
      itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64.
      
      A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction,
      which has file/line information associated with it.  This extra information is
      stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file.
      
      When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might
      possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction).
      It then calls report_bug().  This searches __bug_table for a matching
      instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line
      information.  If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the
      trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE.
      
      Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the
      illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns
      CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG.
      
      lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table
      entries.  The architecture must call
      module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding
      module_finalize/cleanup functions.
      
      Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount.
      At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each
      but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at
      all.
      
      Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so
      architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in
      the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point.
      gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the
      same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG
      itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in
      generating the __bug_table entry.
