dev_attr_show() calls the __uncore_*_show() functions via an indirect
call but their type does not currently match the type of the show()
member in 'struct device_attribute', resulting in a Control Flow
Integrity violation.
$ cat /sys/devices/amd_l3/format/umask
config:8-15
$ dmesg | grep "CFI failure"
[ 1258.174653] CFI failure (target: __uncore_umask_show...):
Update the type in the DEFINE_UNCORE_FORMAT_ATTR macro to match
'struct device_attribute' so that there is no more 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 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.
