[PATCH 6/7] x86/jump lables: Show where and what was wrong on errors

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Mar 08 2012 - 17:23:19 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

When modifying text sections for jump labels, a paranoid check is
performed. If the check fails, the system "bugs". But why it failed
is not shown.

The BUG_ON()s in the jump label update code is replaced with bug_at(ip).
This is a function that will show what pointer failed, and what was
at the location of the failure that made jump label panic.
