Subject: [PATCH 1/2] s390/smp: Mark pcpu_delegate as __noreturn
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 14:42:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030134247.303400-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

pcpu_delegate() never returns to its caller. If the target CPU is the
current CPU, it calls __pcpu_delegate(), whose delegate function is not
supposed to return. In any case, even if __pcpu_delegate() unexpectedly
returns, pcpu_delegate() sends SIGP_STOP to the current CPU and waits
in an infinite loop. Annotate pcpu_delegate() with the __noreturn
attribute to improve compiler optimizations.
