With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG), indirect call targets are validated against the expected function pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time, which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A proposed warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which reveals: drivers/scsi/elx/libefc/efc_node.c:811:22: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, u32, void *)' (aka 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, unsigned int, void *)') from 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, enum efc_sm_event, void *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict] ctx->current_state = state; ^ ~~~~~ drivers/scsi/elx/libefc/efc_node.c:878:21: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, u32, void *)' (aka 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, unsigned int, void *)') from 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, enum efc_sm_event, void *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict] node->nodedb_state = state; ^ ~~~~~ drivers/scsi/elx/libefc/efc_node.c:905:6: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, enum efc_sm_event, void *)' from 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, u32, void *)' (aka 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, unsigned int, void *)') [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict] pf = node->nodedb_state; ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/scsi/elx/libefc/efc_device.c:455:22: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, u32, void *)' (aka 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, unsigned int, void *)') from 'void (struct efc_sm_ctx *, enum efc_sm_event, void *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict] node->nodedb_state = __efc_d_init; ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/scsi/elx/libefc/efc_sm.c:41:22: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, u32, void *)' (aka 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, unsigned int, void *)') from 'void (*)(struct efc_sm_ctx *, enum efc_sm_event, void *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict] ctx->current_state = state; ^ ~~~~~ The type of the second parameter in the prototypes of ->current_state() and ->nodedb_state() ('u32') does not match the implementations, which have a second parameter type of 'enum efc_sm_event'.
