Re: [PATCH] let WARN_ON() output the condition

["Jaswinder Singh" <jaswinderrajput@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am playing with linux kernel but kernel dumps on WARN_ON , when I
commented WARN_ON in my code my kernel starts working but I get two
sideeffects :-

1. During Boot kernel Hangs sometimes in :-
Updating /etc/motd...done.
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
<<hangs>>

2. Always Hangs in :-
cat /proc/interrupts
after showing interrupts
<<hangs>>

Are these side-effects of commenting WARN_ON.

Sometimes I also gets :-

<1>Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004
<1>pgd = c5810000

*pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000, *ppte=00000000
