Re: [PATCH V4] kernel, add bug_on_warn

quoted

I suppose ... but that would mean I would have to explain to an end user the
elaborate process of enabling kdb, inserting a break point, etc.  The whole
purpose of this is to let an end user panic on WARN() easily.

Asking an end user to enable kdb is magnitudes worse than asking them to
recompile a kernel.

Agreed. Asking a customer to setup and run kdb and put breakpoints is much
more pain than simply asking to reboot kernel with a command line option.

If you have a command line option to execute kdb commands you still
would only have a command line option, just a slightly longer one.

kdb="on, bp warn_slowpath_common sr c, go" 

But it would be a generic facility instead of a special purpose hack.
