Subject: [PATCH 06/14] vdso/gettimeofday: Return bool from clock_gettime() helpers
Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2025 10:58:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250701-vdso-auxclock-v1-6-df7d9f87b9b8@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250701-vdso-auxclock-v1-0-df7d9f87b9b8@linutronix.de>
The internal helpers are effectively using boolean results,
while pretending to use error numbers.
Switch the return type to bool for more clarity.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>
