[PATCH 6.15 243/592] drm/xe: Fix CFI violation when accessing sysfs files

23 Jun 2025

6.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jeevaka Prabu Badrappan jeevaka.badrappan@intel.com
[ Upstream commit 4ea512714c42c69828b4a2647d206bf404043ad5 ]
When an attribute group is created with sysfs_create_group() or
sysfs_create_files() the ->sysfs_ops() callback is set to
kobj_sysfs_ops, which sets the ->show() callback to kobj_attr_show().
kobj_attr_show() uses container_of() to get the ->show() callback
from the attribute it was passed, meaning the ->show() callback needs
to be the same type as the ->show() callback in 'struct kobj_attribute'.
However, cur_freq_show() has the type of the ->show() callback in
'struct device_attribute', which causes a CFI violation when opening the
'id' sysfs node under gtidle/freq/throttle. This happens to work because
the layout of 'struct kobj_attribute' and 'struct device_attribute' are
the same, so the container_of() cast happens to allow the ->show()
callback to still work.
Changed the type of cur_freq_show() and few more functions to match the
->show() callback in 'struct kobj_attributes' to resolve the CFI
violation.
CFI failure seen while accessing sysfs files under
