Subject: [PATCH 8/8] x86/entry, bug: Comment the instrumentation_begin() usage for WARN()
Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2020 12:22:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200604102428.364746275@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20200604102241.466509982@infradead.org
Explain the rationale for annotating WARN(), even though, strictly
speaking printk() and friends are very much not safe in many of the
places we put them.
