This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/events/amd/iommu: Fix sysfs type mismatch to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-events-amd-iommu-fix-sysfs-type-mismatch.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c693ab0dcff1c0130412fea7d28bece107a5858b Author: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 14 17:11:11 2021 -0700 x86/events/amd/iommu: Fix sysfs type mismatch [ Upstream commit de5bc7b425d4c27ae5faa00ea7eb6b9780b9a355 ] dev_attr_show() calls _iommu_event_show() via an indirect call but _iommu_event_show()'s type does not currently match the type of the show() member in 'struct device_attribute', resulting in a Control Flow Integrity violation. $ cat /sys/devices/amd_iommu_1/events/mem_dte_hit csource=0x0a $ dmesg | grep "CFI failure" [ 3526.735140] CFI failure (target: _iommu_event_show...): Change _iommu_event_show() and 'struct amd_iommu_event_desc' to 'struct device_attribute' so that there is no more CFI violation.
