Subject: [PATCH] common: panic: add new CONFIG_PANIC_TRAP option
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 23:00:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821210010.1435851-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

When running under libfuzzer for example, it's better to trap, so
libfuzzer generates a crash input file than to just print an error
message and exit gracefully.

The same can apply when running under a hardware debugger, so make
this option available generally.
