Clang's kernel Control Flow Integrity (kCFI) is a compiler-based
security mitigation that ensures the target of an indirect function call
matches the expected type of the call and trapping if they do not match
exactly. The warning -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict aims
to catch these issues at compile time, which reveals:
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-dummy.c:53:12: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'int (*)(struct coresight_device *, struct perf_event *, enum cs_mode)' with an expression of type 'int (struct coresight_device *, struct perf_event *, u32)' (aka 'int (struct coresight_device *, struct perf_event *, unsigned int)') [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]

Commit 9fa3682869 ("coresight: Use enum type for cs_mode wherever
possible") updated the type of the mode parameter in the prototype but
this driver was not introduced until commit 9d3ba0b6c0 ("Coresight:
Add coresight dummy driver") and 'int' is ABI compatible with 'enum
cs_mode', so there is no warning from regular
-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types.
Adjust the type of the mode parameter in the callback implementations in
the coresight dummy driver to match the prototype, clearing up the
warning and avoiding kCFI failures at runtime.

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 Restructured Text 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.
