ACPI: platform-profile: Fix CFI violation when accessing sysfs files
commit dd4f730 upstream. When an attribute group is created with sysfs_create_group(), the ->sysfs_ops() callback is set to kobj_sysfs_ops, which sets the ->show() and ->store() callbacks to kobj_attr_show() and kobj_attr_store() respectively. These functions use container_of() to get the respective callback from the passed attribute, meaning that these callbacks need to be of the same type as the callbacks in 'struct kobj_attribute'. However, ->show() and ->store() in the platform_profile driver are defined for struct device_attribute with the help of DEVICE_ATTR_RO() and DEVICE_ATTR_RW(), which results in a CFI violation when accessing platform_profile or platform_profile_choices under /sys/firmware/acpi because the types do not match: CFI failure at kobj_attr_show+0x19/0x30 (target: platform_profile_choices_show+0x0/0x140; expected type: 0x7a69590c) There is no functional issue from the type mismatch because the layout of 'struct kobj_attribute' and 'struct device_attribute' are the same, so the container_of() cast does not break anything aside from CFI. Change the type of platform_profile_choices_show() and platform_profile_{show,store}() to match the callbacks in 'struct kobj_attribute' and update the attribute variables to match, which resolves the CFI violation.
