Re: [PATCH 0/2] *** Fix reformat_objdump.awk ***

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

Hi Samuel and Nathan,

Thanks for working on this issue. I didn't noticed that the llvm has
this difference. Anyway both patches look good to me.

Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

for this series.

And if you resend it, please add "x86@kernel.org" to Cc.

Thank you!
