Subject: [PATCH 5.11 256/601] ACPI: CPPC: Replace cppc_attr with kobj_attribute

From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 2bc6262c6117dd18106d5aa50d53e945b5d99c51 ]

All of the CPPC sysfs show functions are called via indirect call in
kobj_attr_show(), where they should be of type

ssize_t (*show)(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobj_attribute *attr, char *buf);

because that is the type of the ->show() member in
'struct kobj_attribute' but they are actually of type

ssize_t (*show)(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute *attr, char *buf);

because of the ->show() member in 'struct cppc_attr', resulting in a
Control Flow Integrity violation [1].

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/highest_perf
3400

$ dmesg | grep "CFI failure"
[  175.970559] CFI failure (target: show_highest_perf+0x0/0x8):

As far as I can tell, the only difference between 'struct cppc_attr'
and 'struct kobj_attribute' aside from the type of the attr parameter
is the type of the count parameter in the ->store() member (ssize_t vs.
size_t), which does not actually matter because all of these nodes are
read-only.

Eliminate 'struct cppc_attr' in favor of 'struct kobj_attribute' to fix
the violation.
