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.
