lib: sbi: Improve fatal error handling
BUG and BUG_ON are not informative and are rather lazy interfaces, only
telling the user that something went wrong in a given function, but not
what, requiring the user to find the sources corresponding to their
firmware (which may not be available) and figure out how that BUG(_ON)
was hit. Even SBI_ASSERT in its current form, which does include the
condition that triggered it in the output, isn't necessarily very
informative. In some cases, the error may be fixable by the user, but
they need to know the problem in order to have any hope of fixing it.
It's also a nuisance for developers, whose development trees may have
changed significantly since the release in question being used, and so
line numbers can make it harder for them to understand which error case
a user has hit.
This patch introduces a new sbi_panic function which is printf-like,
allowing detailed error messages to be printed to the console. BUG and
BUG_ON are removed, since the former is just a worse form of sbi_panic
and the latter is a worse version of SBI_ASSERT. Finally, SBI_ASSERT is
augmented to take a set of arguments to pass to sbi_panic on failure,
used like so (sbi_boot_print_hart's current error case, which currently
manually calls sbi_printf and sbi_hart_hang):
SBI_ASSERT(xlen >= 1, ("Error %d getting MISA XLEN\n", xlen));
The existing users of BUG are replaced with calls to sbi_panic along
with informative error messages. BUG_ON and SBI_ASSERT were unused (and,
in the case of SBI_ASSERT, remain unused).
Many existing users of sbi_hart_hang should be converted to use either
sbi_panic or SBI_ASSERT after this commit.
