unrecoverable_exception() is never expected to return, most callers
have an infiniteloop in case it returns.

Ensure it really never returns by terminating it with a BUG(), and
declare it __no_return.

It always GCC to really simplify functions calling it. In the exemple below,

s/always/allows ?

Yes


(Otherwise I can't parse it.)

it avoids the stack frame in the likely fast path and avoids code duplication
for the exit.

Indeed, nice code generation improvement.

Infinite loop (seems to be on test of MSR_PR)?

Yes, that's what you get when CONFIG_BUG is not selected.

/include/asm-generic/bug.h:

#ifndef HAVE_ARCH_BUG
#define BUG() do {} while (1)
#endif
