Control flow integrity is now checking that type signatures match on indirect function calls. That breaks closures, which embed a work_struct in a closure in such a way that a closure_fn may also be used as a workqueue fn by the underlying closure code. So we have to change closure fns to take a work_struct as their argument - but that results in a loss of clarity, as closure fns have different semantics from normal workqueue functions (they run owning a ref on the closure, which must be released with continue_at() or closure_return()). Thus, this patc introduces CLOSURE_CALLBACK() and closure_type() macros as suggested by Kees, to smooth things over a bit.

README
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.
