Hi Stephen,

Sorry for the confusion, but in fact I was talking about the patch to
make ARM use the generic bug handling via an undef instruction instead
of calling ______bug() or writing to memory address 0. Please see
here:

http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=6808/1

Yes I've seen your patch (and even posted comments on it which have not
been responded to).

Hi Stephen,

Not yet! Don't worry I will get to it. I like the suggestion and am
pleased that you pointed me to it, thank you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that patch with CONFIG_BUG=n would lead to
the same error that Omar is seeing because the code only modifies the
bug infrastructure when CONFIG_BUG=y.

Well if CONFIG_BUG=n then there is no bug infrastructure, The whole
file is skipped and it falls back to the asm-generic/bug.h which has
even more #ifdefs in it. But I think we end up here:

#define BUG() do {} while(0)

After all the patch removes the *(int*)0 = 0 code by virtue of
CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG=y, right? If I have this wrong then I will have to
break out the C preprocessor...

Regards,
Simon
