Control Flow Integrity(CFI) is a security mechanism that disallows
changes to the original control flow graph of a compiled binary,
making it significantly harder to perform such attacks.
init_state_node() assign same function callback to different
function pointer declarations.
static int init_state_node(struct cpuidle_state *idle_state,
const struct of_device_id *matches,
struct device_node *state_node) { ...
idle_state->enter = match_id->data; ...
idle_state->enter_s2idle = match_id->data; }
Function declarations:
struct cpuidle_state { ...
int (*enter) (struct cpuidle_device *dev,
struct cpuidle_driver *drv,
int index);
void (*enter_s2idle) (struct cpuidle_device *dev,
struct cpuidle_driver *drv,
int index); };
In this case, either enter() or enter_s2idle() would cause CFI check
failed since they use same callee.
Align function prototype of enter() since it needs return value for
some use cases. The return value of enter_s2idle() is no
need currently.

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.
