Subject: x86/boot: Declare error() as noreturn
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=60854a12d281e2fa25662fa32ac8022bbff17432;p=linux.git

x86/boot: Declare error() as noreturn

The compressed boot function error() is used to halt execution, but it
wasn't marked with "noreturn". This fixes that in preparation for
supporting kernel FORTIFY_SOURCE, which uses the noreturn annotation
on panic, and calls error(). GCC would warn about a noreturn function
calling a non-noreturn function:

  arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c: In function ‘fortify_panic’:
  arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c:416:1: warning: ‘noreturn’ function does return
   }
