Nathan Chancellor dd4f730b55 ACPI: platform-profile: Fix CFI violation when accessing sysfs files
When an attribute group is created with sysfs_create_group(), the
->sysfs_ops() callback is set to kobj_sysfs_ops, which sets the ->show()
and ->store() callbacks to kobj_attr_show() and kobj_attr_store()
respectively. These functions use container_of() to get the respective
callback from the passed attribute, meaning that these callbacks need to
be of the same type as the callbacks in 'struct kobj_attribute'.

However, ->show() and ->store() in the platform_profile driver are
defined for struct device_attribute with the help of DEVICE_ATTR_RO()
and DEVICE_ATTR_RW(), which results in a CFI violation when accessing
platform_profile or platform_profile_choices under /sys/firmware/acpi
because the types do not match:

  CFI failure at kobj_attr_show+0x19/0x30 (target: platform_profile_choices_show+0x0/0x140; expected type: 0x7a69590c)

There is no functional issue from the type mismatch because the layout
of 'struct kobj_attribute' and 'struct device_attribute' are the same,
so the container_of() cast does not break anything aside from CFI.

Change the type of platform_profile_choices_show() and
platform_profile_{show,store}() to match the callbacks in
'struct kobj_attribute' and update the attribute variables to
match, which resolves the CFI violation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
