Kees Cook e78e274eb2 NFSD: Avoid clashing function prototypes
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].

There were 97 warnings produced by NFS. For example:

fs/nfsd/nfs4xdr.c:2228:17: warning: cast from '__be32 (*)(struct nfsd4_compoundargs *, struct nfsd4_access *)' (aka 'unsigned int (*)(struct nfsd4_compoundargs *, struct nfsd4_access *)') to 'nfsd4_dec' (aka 'unsigned int (*)(struct nfsd4_compoundargs *, void *)') converts to incompatible function type [-Wcast-function-type-strict]
        [OP_ACCESS]             = (nfsd4_dec)nfsd4_decode_access,
                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The enc/dec callbacks were defined as passing "void *" as the second
argument, but were being implicitly cast to a new type. Replace the
argument with union nfsd4_op_u, and perform explicit member selection
in the function body. There are no resulting binary differences.

Changes were made mechanically using the following Coccinelle script,
with minor by-hand fixes for members that didn't already match their
existing argument name:

@find@
identifier func;
type T, opsT;
identifier ops, N;
@@

 opsT ops[] = {
	[N] = (T) func,
 };

@already_void@
identifier find.func;

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.
