[PATCH] Generic BUG implementation

This patch adds common handling for kernel BUGs, for use by architectures as
they wish.  The code is derived from arch/powerpc.

The advantages of having common BUG handling are:
 - consistent BUG reporting across architectures
 - shared implementation of out-of-line file/line data
 - implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE consistently

This means that in inline impact of BUG is just the illegal instruction
itself, which is an improvement for i386 and x86-64.

A BUG is represented in the instruction stream as an illegal instruction,
which has file/line information associated with it.  This extra information is
stored in the __bug_table section in the ELF file.

When the kernel gets an illegal instruction, it first confirms it might
possibly be from a BUG (ie, in kernel mode, the right illegal instruction).
It then calls report_bug().  This searches __bug_table for a matching
instruction pointer, and if found, prints the corresponding file/line
information.  If report_bug() determines that it wasn't a BUG which caused the
trap, it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE.

Some architectures (powerpc) implement WARN using the same mechanism; if the
illegal instruction was the result of a WARN, then report_bug(Q) returns
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE; otherwise it returns BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG.

lib/bug.c keeps a list of loaded modules which can be searched for __bug_table
entries.  The architecture must call
module_bug_finalize()/module_bug_cleanup() from its corresponding
module_finalize/cleanup functions.

Unsetting CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE will reduce the kernel size by some amount.
At the very least, filename and line information will not be recorded for each
but, but architectures may decide to store no extra information per BUG at
all.

Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a general way to mark an asm() as noreturn, so
architectures will generally have to include an infinite loop (or similar) in
the BUG code, so that gcc knows execution won't continue beyond that point.
gcc does have a __builtin_trap() operator which may be useful to achieve the
same effect, unfortunately it cannot be used to actually implement the BUG
itself, because there's no way to get the instruction's address for use in
generating the __bug_table entry.

+  Generic support for BUG()
+
+  This respects the following config options:
+
+  CONFIG_BUG - emit BUG traps.  Nothing happens without this.
+  CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG - enable this code.
+  CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE - emit full file+line information for each BUG
+
+  CONFIG_BUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE are potentially user-settable
+  (though they're generally always on).
+
+  CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG is set by each architecture using this code.
+
+  To use this, your architecture must:
+
+  1. Set up the config options:
+     - Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG if CONFIG_BUG
+
+  2. Implement BUG (and optionally BUG_ON, WARN, WARN_ON)
+     - Define HAVE_ARCH_BUG
+     - Implement BUG() to generate a faulting instruction
+     - NOTE: struct bug_entry does not have "file" or "line" entries
+       when CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is not enabled, so you must generate
+       the values accordingly.
+
+  3. Implement the trap
+     - In the illegal instruction trap handler (typically), verify
+       that the fault was in kernel mode, and call report_bug()
+     - report_bug() will return whether it was a false alarm, a warning,
+       or an actual bug.
+     - You must implement the is_valid_bugaddr(bugaddr) callback which
+       returns true if the eip is a real kernel address, and it points
+       to the expected BUG trap instruction.
