[PATCH 1/1] bug: mark generic BUG() as unreachable

From: trix

From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx>

This spurious error is reported for powerpc64, CONFIG_BUG=n

fs/afs/dir.c: In function 'afs_dir_set_page_dirty':
fs/afs/dir.c:51:1: error: no return statement in
function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type]
51 | }
| ^

When CONFIG_BUG=y is BUG is expanded from
#define BUG() do {
BUG_ENTRY("twi 31, 0, 0", 0);
unreachable();
} while (0)

to

static int afs_dir_set_page_dirty(struct page *page)
{
do { __asm__ __volatile__( "1: " "twi 31, 0, 0" ...
do { ; asm volatile(""); __builtin_unreachable(); } while (0);
} while (0);
}

When CONFIG_BUG=n, the generic BUG() is used which
expands out to

static int afs_dir_set_page_dirty(struct page *page)
{
do {} while (1);
}

Without the __builtin_unreachable(), gcc reports the
warning

ref: gcc docs https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html
" ... without the __builtin_unreachable, GCC issues a
warning that control reaches the end of a non-void function."

So add an unreachable() to the generic BUG(), the resulting
expansiion will be

static int afs_dir_set_page_dirty(struct page *page)
{
do {
do {} while (1);
do { ; asm volatile(""); __builtin_unreachable(); } while (0);
} while (0);
}
