This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: arm64: Don't return from void function to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-arm64-don-t-return-from-void-function.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9e4be7c5b73e579d555dd68fb65bcaf0e631197e Author: Quentin Perret <qperret@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 5 14:23:10 2022 +0000 KVM: arm64: Don't return from void function [ Upstream commit 1c3ace2b8b3995d3213c5e2d2aca01a0577a3b0f ] Although harmless, the return statement in kvm_unexpected_el2_exception is rather confusing as the function itself has a void return type. The C standard is also pretty clear that "A return statement with an expression shall not appear in a function whose return type is void". Given that this return statement does not seem to add any actual value, let's not pointlessly violate the standard. Build-tested with GCC 10 and CLANG 13 for good measure, the disassembled code is identical with or without the return statement.
