When trapped on WARN_ON(), report_bug() is expected to return
BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN so the caller could increment NIP by 4 and continue.
The __builtin_constant_p() path of the PPC's WARN_ON() calls (indirectly)
__WARN_FLAGS() which has BUGFLAG_WARNING set, however the other branch
does not which makes report_bug() report a bug rather than a warning.

Fixes: 19d436268dde95389 ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")
Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru>
---

Actually 19d436268dde95389 replaced __WARN_TAINT() with __WARN_FLAGS()
and lost BUGFLAG_TAINT() and this is not in the commit log so it is
unclear:
1) why
2) whether this particular patch should be doing
   BUGFLAG_WARNING|BUGFLAG_TAINT(TAINT_WARN)
 or
   BUGFLAG_WARNING|(flags)

Any ideas? Thanks.

I think the rename is because previously the argument was a taint value,
whereas now it is a flags value (which is a superset of taint).

There is no flags here so the latter won't work AFAICS.

Your patch looks correct to me. I assume it works?


The bug isn't introduced by 19d436268dde ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to
report_bug()") as far as I can see.

If you check out that revision you see that BUGFLAG_TAINT still contains
BUGFLAG_WARNING:

#define BUGFLAG_TAINT(taint)	(BUGFLAG_WARNING | ((taint) << 8))

But that was removed in f26dee15103f ("debug: Avoid setting
BUGFLAG_WARNING twice"). So I think the Fixes: tag should point at that
commit.

cheers

Ah, you're right. Should I repost the patch with the updated "fixes:" clause?

No that's fine I can update it.
