有点空闲时间，让我们来总结一下内核DEBUG中的各个语句吧。随便找个内核驱动，在init函数里面加入如下代码测试：
u8 a = 1, b = 0;
printk("----------dump stack
");
dump_stack();
printk("----------BUG_ON
");
BUG_ON(a<b);
BUG_ON(a>b);
printk("----------BUG
");
if(a<b)
BUG();
if(a>b)
BUG();
printk("----------panic
");
panic("really terrible
");
烧进开发版后，开机，在串口中看到：

可见，在BUG触发后，没有再继续往下执行了，把测试语句改成：
printk("----------dump stack
");
dump_stack();
printk("----------BUG
");
if(a<b)
BUG();
if(a>b)
BUG();
printk("----------panic
");
panic("really terrible
");
调试日志如下，看来BUG和BUG_ON效果是一样的，具体用哪个，取决于你的喜好了，BUG_ON在编译优化的时候好处理一点，不过估计大部分人在生产版本中都还照样保留这些调试信息，呵呵

dump_stack();
printk("----------panic
