So, in my testing (which is gcc-6 for everything thanks to Debian/9):
06: Remove assert()
arm: + clearfog peach-pi snow smdk5250 smdk5420 turris_omnia spring omap3_evm peach-pit
-(am335x_hs_evm) arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: region `.sram' overflowed by 760 bytes
+(clearfog,turris_omnia) arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: SPL image too big
+(am335x_hs_evm) arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: region `.sram' overflowed by 1080 bytes
+(snow,smdk5250,peach-pi,smdk5420,spring,peach-pit) arch/arm/mach-exynos/built-in.o: In function `clock_calc_best_scalar':
+(snow,smdk5250,peach-pi,smdk5420,spring,peach-pit) build/../arch/arm/mach-exynos/clock.c:1408: undefined reference to `panic'
+(omap3_evm) arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: region `.sram' overflowed by 28 bytes
And then a lot of platforms grow in size. Taking a harder peek, BUG_ON
is always set. However, assert() is only set when DEBUG is set. Now, I
can certainly see an argument along the lines of that being fairly
unexpected, and I don't know that I would disagree.
After a very quick look over what git grep -l says, perhaps we want to
introduce a new (default off) option to preserve the current behavior of
assert() in BUG_ON, as it looks like almost only kernel imported code is
using BUG_ON.
