Subject: checkpatch: add warning on BUG/BUG_ON use
X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~3570^2~49
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9d3e3c705eb395528fd8f17208c87581b134da48;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git

checkpatch: add warning on BUG/BUG_ON use

Using BUG/BUG_ON crashes the kernel and is just unfriendly.

Enable code that emits a warning on BUG/BUG_ON use.

Make the code emit the message at WARNING level when scanning a patch and
at CHECK level when scanning files so that script users don't feel an
obligation to fix code that might be above their pay grade.
