[PATCH] ARM: Use generic BUG() handler

From: Simon Glass <sjg at google.com>
ARM uses its own BUG() handler which makes its output slightly different
from other archtectures.
One of the problems is that the ARM implementation doesn't report the function
with the BUG() in it, but always reports the PC being in __bug(). The generic
implementation doesn't have this problem.
Currently we get something like:
kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
...
PC is at __bug+0x20/0x2c
With this patch it displays:
kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35!
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
PC is at write_breakme+0xd0/0x1b4
This implementation uses an undefined instruction to implement BUG, and sets up
a bug table containing the relevant information. Many version of gcc do not
support %c properly for ARM (inserting a # when they shouldn't) so we work
around this using distasteful macro magic.
Also the backtrace the message now appears even when CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND is
defined.
You can fall back to the previous BUG implementation by making GENERIC_BUG
default to n in arch/arm/Kconfig.
