Nathan Chancellor d8512cc8ac um: net: Fix return type of uml_net_start_xmit() 
[ Upstream commit 7d748f60a4 ]

With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which reveals:

  arch/um/drivers/net_kern.c:353:21: warning: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'netdev_tx_t (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' (aka 'enum netdev_tx (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)') with an expression of type 'int (struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' [-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
    353 |         .ndo_start_xmit         = uml_net_start_xmit,
        |                                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  1 warning generated.

->ndo_start_xmit() in 'struct net_device_ops' expects a return type of
'netdev_tx_t', not 'int'. Adjust the return type of uml_net_start_xmit()
to match the prototype's to resolve the warning. While UML does not
currently implement support for kCFI, it could in the future, which
means this warning becomes a fatal CFI failure at run time.

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.
