    MIPS: Make BUG() __noreturn. · 8ec2e243
    David Daney authored
    Often we do things like put BUG() in the default clause of a case
    statement.  Since it was not declared __noreturn, this could sometimes
    lead to bogus compiler warnings that variables were used
    uninitialized.
    
    There is a small problem in that we have to put a magic while(1); loop to
    fool GCC into really thinking it is noreturn.  This makes the new
    BUG() function 3 instructions long instead of just 1, but I think it
    is worth it as it is now unnecessary to do extra work to silence the
    'used uninitialized' warnings.
    
    I also re-wrote BUG_ON so that if it is given a constant condition, it
    just does BUG() instead of loading a constant value in to a register
    and testing it.
