Subject: [PATCH for 5.1 1/3] rseq: cleanup: Reflect removal of event counter in comments
Date: Tue,  5 Mar 2019 14:47:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190305194755.2602-2-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190305194755.2602-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

The "event counter" was removed from rseq before it was merged upstream.
However, a few comments in the source code still refer to it. Adapt the
comments to match reality.
