[PATCH] lkdtm/bugs: In lkdtm_HUNG_TASK() use BUG(), not BUG_ON(1)
From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Fri Jan 26 2024 - 10:29:10 EST
In commit edb6538da3df ("lkdtm/bugs: Adjust lkdtm_HUNG_TASK() to avoid
tail call optimization") we marked lkdtm_HUNG_TASK() as
__noreturn. The compiler gets unhappy if it thinks a __noreturn
function might return, so there's a BUG_ON(1) at the end. Any human
can see that the function won't return and the compiler can figure
that out too. Except when it can't.
The MIPS architecture defines HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON and defines its own
version of BUG_ON(). The MIPS version of BUG_ON() is not a macro but
is instead an inline function. Apparently this prevents the compiler
from realizing that the condition to BUG_ON() is constant and that the
function will never return.
Let's change the BUG_ON(1) to just BUG(), which it should have been to
begin with. The only reason I used BUG_ON(1) to begin with was because
I was used to using WARN_ON(1) when writing test code and WARN() and
BUG() are oddly inconsistent in this manner. :-/
