[ Upstream commit 7d748f60a4b82b50bf25fad1bd42d33f049f76aa ]

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.

-&gt;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.

[ Upstream commit 32253f00ac8a8073bf6db4bfe9d6511cc93c4aef ]

The offset is currently always zero so the backend can't distinguish
between accesses to different ioremapped areas.

Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.6-rc1.

  Lots of cleanups in here this cycle, and some driver updates. Short
  summary is:

   - Jiri's continued work to make the tty code and apis be a bit more
     sane with regards to modern kernel coding style and types

   - cpm_uart driver updates

   - n_gsm updates and fixes

   - meson driver updates

   - sc16is7xx driver updates

   - 8250 driver updates for different hardware types

   - qcom-geni driver fixes

   - tegra serial driver change

   - stm32 driver updates

   - synclink_gt driver cleanups

   - tty structure size reduction

  All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported
  issues. The last bit of cleanups from Jiri and the tty structure size
  reduction came in last week, a bit late but as they were just style
  changes and size reductions, I figured they should get into this merge
  cycle so that others can work on top of them with no merge conflicts"

Use `memcpy` since `console_buf` is not expected to be NUL-terminated
and it more accurately describes what is happening with the buffers
`console_buf` and `string` as per Kees' analysis [1].

Also mark char buffer as `__nonstring` as per Kees' suggestion [2].

This change now makes it more clear what this code does and that
`console_buf` is not expected to be NUL-terminated.

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is
_not_ the case for `strncpy`!

In this case, we are able to drop the now superfluous `... - 1`
instances because `strscpy` will automatically truncate the last byte by
setting it to a NUL byte if the source size exceeds the destination size
or if the source string is not NUL-terminated.

I've also opted to remove the seemingly useless char* casts. I'm not
sure why they're present at all since (after expanding the `ifr_name`
macro) `ifr.ifr_ifrn.ifrn_name` is a char* already.

All in all, `strscpy` is a more robust and less ambiguous interface
while also letting us remove some `... -1`'s which cleans things up a
bit.
