Subject: [PATCH v7 12/14] x86/alternative: Remove the return value of text_poke_*()
Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2018 17:34:06 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181205013408.47725-13-namit@vmware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181205013408.47725-1-namit@vmware.com>
The return value of text_poke_early() and text_poke_bp() is useless.
Remove it.
