The assertion codes bloat the kernel all the same. So how about this
instead?
This patch adds a CONFIG_DEBUG_BUG_ON_VERBOSE that makes BUG_ON report the
evaluated expression in human readable form when the assertion fails.
The size of vmlinux with allyesconfig increases about 100k when the config
option is enabled:
text data bss dec filename
19333351 6699691 1845604 27878646 vmlinux-2.6.12-git8
19434139 6699691 1845604 27979434 vmlinux-2.6.12-git8-verbose-bug_on
