[PATCH] iommu/amd: Fix type of type parameter to amd_iommufd_hw_info()
Posted by Nathan Chancellor 2 weeks, 2 days ago
When building with -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict, a
warning designed to catch kernel control flow integrity (kCFI) issues at
build time, there is an instance around amd_iommufd_hw_info():

  drivers/iommu/amd/iommu.c:3141:13: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'void *(*)(struct device *, u32 *, enum iommu_hw_info_type *)' (aka 'void *(*)(struct device *, unsigned int *, enum iommu_hw_info_type *)') with an expression of type 'void *(struct device *, u32 *, u32 *)' (aka 'void *(struct device *, unsigned int *, unsigned int *)') [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
   3141 |         .hw_info = amd_iommufd_hw_info,
        |                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While 'u32 *' and 'enum iommu_hw_info_type *' are ABI compatible, hence
no regular warning from -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types, the
mismatch will trigger a kCFI violation when amd_iommufd_hw_info() is
called indirectly.

Update the type parameter of amd_iommufd_hw_info() to be
'enum iommu_hw_info_type *' to match the prototype in
'struct iommu_ops', clearing up the warning and kCFI violation.

Fixes: 7d8b06ecc45b ("iommu/amd: Add support for hw_info for iommu capability query")
