wifi: atmel: Avoid clashing function prototypes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When built with Control Flow Integrity, function prototypes between
caller and function declaration must match. These mismatches are visible
at compile time with the new -Wcast-function-type-strict in Clang[1].

Of the 1549 warnings found, 188 come from the atmel driver. For example:

drivers/net/wireless/atmel/atmel.c:2518:2: warning: cast from 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, void *, char *)' to 'iw_handler' (aka 'int (*)(struct net_device *, struct iw_request_info *, union iwreq_data *, char *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
        (iw_handler) atmel_config_commit,       /* SIOCSIWCOMMIT */
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The atmel Wireless Extension handler callbacks (iw_handler) use a union
for the data argument. Actually use the union and perform explicit
member selection in the function body instead of having a function
prototype mismatch. There are no resulting binary differences.

This patch is a cleanup based on Brad Spengler/PaX Team's modifications
to the atmel driver in their last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based
on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original
code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
