It's a config option is EMBEDDED=y:
config BUG bool "BUG() support" if EMBEDDED default y help Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing the size of your kernel image and potentially quietly ignoring numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider disabling this option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors. Just say Y.
