Subject: [PATCH 14/27] panic: Mark abort() __noreturn
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 21:51:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce84b125053b74045fd59906c082bc2123e73aca.1787890035.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787890035.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
abort() is a C compiler builtin interface, so compilers already know it
doesn't return, but mark it as such explicitly for documentation
purposes.
