  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:

The ->signal_u32_read(), ->count_u32_read(), and ->count_u32_write()
callbacks in 'struct counter_comp' expect the final parameter to have a
type of 'u32' or 'u32 *' but the ops functions that are being assigned
to those callbacks have an enumerated type as the final parameter. While
these are compatible from an ABI perspective, they will fail the
aforementioned CFI checks.

Adjust the type of the final parameter in the ->signal_read(),
->function_read(), and ->function_write() callbacks in 'struct
counter_ops' and their implementations to match the prototypes in
'struct counter_comp' to clear up these warnings and CFI failures.

I don't understand these changes. Where do 'struct counter_comp'
and 'struct counter_ops' get confused? I can only find matching
ops/assignments/calls, so I must be missing something. This looks like
a loss of CFI granularity instead of having wrappers added if there is
an enum/u32 conversion needed somewhere.

Right, I am not the biggest fan of this change myself and it is entirely
possible that I am misreading the warnings from the commit message but I
do not see how

        comp_node.comp.signal_u32_read = counter->ops->signal_read;

and

        comp_node.comp.count_u32_read = counter->ops->function_read;

in counter_add_watch(),

        comp.signal_u32_read = counter->ops->signal_read;

in counter_signal_attrs_create(), and

        comp.count_u32_read = counter->ops->function_read;
        comp.count_u32_write = counter->ops->function_write;

in counter_count_attrs_create() are currently safe under kCFI, since the
final parameter type of the prototypes in 'struct counter_ops' does not
match the final parameter type of the prototypes in 'struct
counter_comp'. I would expect the indirect calls in counter_get_data()
and counter_comp_u32_show() to fail currently.

I briefly looked at making the 'struct counter_comp' callbacks match the
'struct counter_ops' ones but the COUNTER_COMP macros in
include/linux/counter.h made it seem like these callbacks might be used
by implementations that might use different enumerated types as the
final parameter. I can look a little closer to see if we can make
everything match.

I am not sure how wrappers would work here, I can take a look into how
feasible that is.

Cheers,
Nathan

The intention of the code here is to treat the last parameter as an
makeshift generic; the u32 will always be some corresponding enum type
provided by the driver. The expectation is for drivers to define
components via respective COUNTER_COMP_* macros, such that the
assignments of the *_u32_read/*_u32_write callbacks are abstracted away
and the driver can treat the respective last parameter as of the desired
enum type.

For example, COUNTER_COMP_DIRECTION is expected to be used with enum
counter_count_direction, COUNTER_COMP_POLARITY is expected to be used
with enum counter_signal_polarity, etc.

What would be nice is if there is a way to ensure the enum type of the
last parameter of the callback provided to these COUNTER_COMP_* macros
matches the particular respective COUNTER_COMP_* macro's expectation;
e.g. we should get some sort of error if COUNTER_COMP_DIRECTION is used
for a enum counter_signal_level, etc.

Ah! Thank you -- those were the places I couldn't find.

How about this? (I only did signal_read -- similar changes are needed
for function_read and function_write:

The reason for the u32 type is that all the Counter enum components can
make use of the same *_u32_read/*_u32_write calls; in other words, we
don't have to handle each Counter enum read/write as unique.

If you want to get rid of that design, then you'll need to create
respective code paths for each Counter enum. See the comments inline
below.

This code path is for all Counter enum types currently; changing
signal_u32_read to signal_read here will work for
COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_LEVEL but break all the other Counter Signal enum
types. Instead, you should duplicate this code with proper adjustments
for each of the Counter enums in their own respective case blocks.

Same issue as comment above: Counter Signal enums besides
COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_LEVEL are possible.

I'm not familiar with kCFI, but a better solution if possible would be
to hint to the compiler the intention of the code here -- that we're
intentionally type punning the last parameter in order to avoid
duplicate code for each Counter enum because they are all handled the
same way.
