Subject: [PATCH v5 10/10] x86/alternative: remove the return value of text_poke_*()
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2018 05:07:30 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181113130730.44844-11-namit@vmware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181113130730.44844-1-namit@vmware.com>
The return value of text_poke_early() and text_poke_bp() is useless.
Remove it.
