From 9a93848fe787a53aec404e4e00d8f7f9bbdaebb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2017 14:43:51 +0100 Subject: x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0 By using "UD0" for WARN()s we remove the function call and its possible __FILE__ and __LINE__ immediate arguments from the instruction stream. Total image size will not change much, what we win in the instruction stream we'll lose because of the __bug_table entries. Still, saves on I$ footprint and the total image size does go down a bit. text data filename 10702123 4530992 defconfig-build/vmlinux.orig 10682460 4530992 defconfig-build/vmlinux.patched (UML didn't seem to use GENERIC_BUG at all, so remove it) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Arjan van de Ven Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Richard Weinberger Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c b/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c index 09d4ac0d2661..924f45ea4382 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c @@ -289,9 +289,6 @@ void die(const char *str, struct pt_regs *regs, long err) unsigned long flags = oops_begin(); int sig = SIGSEGV; - if (!user_mode(regs)) - report_bug(regs->ip, regs); - if (__die(str, regs, err)) sig = 0; oops_end(flags, regs, sig); -- cgit v1.2.3
