This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/meson: Fix return type of meson_encoder_cvbs_mode_valid() to the 6.1-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: drm-meson-fix-return-type-of-meson_encoder_cvbs_mode.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7c332b7304935998a734ed039efe628bd04c3a87 Author: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 2 08:52:42 2022 -0700 drm/meson: Fix return type of meson_encoder_cvbs_mode_valid() [ Upstream commit 6c4e4d35203301906afb53c6d1e1302d4c793c05 ] 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/gpu/drm/meson/meson_encoder_cvbs.c:211:16: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'enum drm_mode_status (*)(struct drm_bridge *, const struct drm_display_info *, const struct drm_display_mode *)' with an expression of type 'int (struct drm_bridge *, const struct drm_display_info *, const struct drm_display_mode *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict] .mode_valid = meson_encoder_cvbs_mode_valid, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated. ->mode_valid() in 'struct drm_bridge_funcs' expects a return type of 'enum drm_mode_status', not 'int'. Adjust the return type of meson_encoder_cvbs_mode_valid() to match the prototype's to resolve the warning and CFI failure.
