Kees Cook says: ==================== bnx2x: Remove function casts In order to make the entire kernel usable under Clang's Control Flow Integrity protections, function prototype casts need to be avoided because this will trip CFI checks at runtime (i.e. a mismatch between the caller's expected function prototype and the destination function's prototype). Many of these cases can be found with -Wcast-function-type, which found that bnx2x had a bunch of needless (or at least confusing) function casts. This series removes them all. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
