This, however, may lead to a kernel panic when no kdb stuff is attached, since the kgdb_breakpoint() call issues INT3. It's nothing but a surprise for normal end-users. For avoiding the pitfall, make the kgdb_breakpoint() call only when CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL_DC is set. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1177973 Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Nicholas Kazlauskas <nicholas.kazlauskas@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@xxxxxxx> diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/os_types.h b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/os_types.h index 330acaaed79a..32758b245754 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/os_types.h +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/os_types.h @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ * general debug capabilities * */ -#if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_KGDB) || defined(CONFIG_KGDB) +#if defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL_DC) && (defined(CONFIG_HAVE_KGDB) || defined(CONFIG_KGDB)) #define ASSERT_CRITICAL(expr) do { \ if (WARN_ON(!(expr))) { \ kgdb_breakpoint(); \
