This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf/amd/uncore: 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: perf-amd-uncore-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 5bb7805dd424836e7be44df5ca46b45163f5452d Author: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 14 17:11:12 2021 -0700 perf/amd/uncore: Fix sysfs type mismatch [ Upstream commit 5deac80d4571dffb51f452f0027979d72259a1b9 ] dev_attr_show() calls the __uncore_*_show() functions via an indirect call but their 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_l3/format/umask config:8-15 $ dmesg | grep "CFI failure" [ 1258.174653] CFI failure (target: __uncore_umask_show...): Update the type in the DEFINE_UNCORE_FORMAT_ATTR macro to match 'struct device_attribute' so that there is no more CFI violation.
