clang's Control Flow Integrity requires that every indirect call has a
valid target, which is based on the type of the function pointer. The
*_show() functions in this file are written as if they will be called
from dev_attr_show(); however, they will be called from
sysfs_kf_seq_show() because the files were created by
sysfs_create_group() and the sysfs ops are based on kobj_sysfs_ops
because of kobject_add_and_create(). Because the *_show() functions do
not match the type of the show() member in struct kobj_attribute, there
is a CFI violation.

Convert these functions to the type of the show() member in struct
kobj_attribute so that there is no more CFI violation. Because these
functions are all so similar, combine them into a macro.

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.
