[PATCH v3 07/20] x86/kgdb: Avoid redundant comparison of patched code
From: Rick Edgecombe <rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
Date: 2019-02-21 23:52:24
Also in:
linux-mm, linux-security-module, lkml
Subsystem:
the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers:
Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen
From: Nadav Amit <redacted> text_poke() already ensures that the written value is the correct one and fails if that is not the case. There is no need for an additional comparison. Remove it.
