[PATCH] lib/bug: make panic_on_warn available for all architectures

From: Heiko Carstens
Date: Fri Jan 22 2016 - 08:12:35 EST


Christian Borntraeger reported that panic_on_warn doesn't have any
effect on s390.

The panic_on_warn feature was introduced with 9e3961a09798 ("kernel:
add panic_on_warn"). However it did care only for the case when
WANT_WARN_ON_SLOWPATH is defined. This is turn is only the case for
architectures which do not have an own __WARN_TAINT defined.

Other architectures which do have __WARN_TAINT defined call
report_bug() for warnings within lib/bug.c which does not call panic()
in case panic_on_warn is set.

Let's simply enable the panic_on_warn feature by adding the same code
like it was added to warn_slowpath_common() in panic.c.

This enables panic_on_warn also for arm64, parisc, powerpc, s390 and
sh.
