      cpufreq: Use struct kobj_attribute instead of struct global_attr · 464b4279
      Viresh Kumar authored
      commit 625c85a6 upstream.
      
      The cpufreq_global_kobject is created using kobject_create_and_add()
      helper, which assigns the kobj_type as dynamic_kobj_ktype and show/store
      routines are set to kobj_attr_show() and kobj_attr_store().
      
      These routines pass struct kobj_attribute as an argument to the
      show/store callbacks. But all the cpufreq files created using the
      cpufreq_global_kobject expect the argument to be of type struct
      attribute. Things work fine currently as no one accesses the "attr"
      argument. We may not see issues even if the argument is used, as struct
      kobj_attribute has struct attribute as its first element and so they
      will both get same address.
      
      But this is logically incorrect and we should rather use struct
      kobj_attribute instead of struct global_attr in the cpufreq core and
      drivers and the show/store callbacks should take struct kobj_attribute
      as argument instead.
      
      This bug is caught using CFI CLANG builds in android kernel which
      catches mismatch in function prototypes for such callbacks.
