Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: mm: Fix CFI failure due to kpti_ng_pgd_alloc function signature

Seen during KPTI initialization:

  CFI failure at create_kpti_ng_temp_pgd+0x124/0xce8 (target: kpti_ng_pgd_alloc+0x0/0x14; expected type: 0xd61b88b6)

The call site is alloc_init_pud() at arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c:

  pud_phys = pgtable_alloc(TABLE_PUD);

alloc_init_pud() has the prototype:

  static void alloc_init_pud(p4d_t *p4dp, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end,
                             phys_addr_t phys, pgprot_t prot,
                             phys_addr_t (*pgtable_alloc)(enum pgtable_type),
                             int flags)

where the pgtable_alloc() prototype is declared.

The target (kpti_ng_pgd_alloc) is used in arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c:

  create_kpti_ng_temp_pgd(kpti_ng_temp_pgd, __pa(alloc), KPTI_NG_TEMP_VA,
                          PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_KERNEL, kpti_ng_pgd_alloc, 0);

which is an alias for __create_pgd_mapping_locked() with prototype:

  extern __alias(__create_pgd_mapping_locked)
  void create_kpti_ng_temp_pgd(pgd_t *pgdir, phys_addr_t phys,
                               unsigned long virt,
                               phys_addr_t size, pgprot_t prot,
                               phys_addr_t (*pgtable_alloc)(enum pgtable_type),
                               int flags);

__create_pgd_mapping_locked() passes the function pointer down:

  __create_pgd_mapping_locked() -> alloc_init_p4d() -> alloc_init_pud()

But the target function (kpti_ng_pgd_alloc) has the wrong signature:

  static phys_addr_t __init kpti_ng_pgd_alloc(int shift);

The "int" should be "enum pgtable_type".

To make "enum pgtable_type" available to cpufeature.c, move
enum pgtable_type definition from arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c to
arch/arm64/include/asm/mmu.h.

Adjust kpti_ng_pgd_alloc to use "enum pgtable_type" instead of "int".
The function behavior remains identical (parameter is unused).

Fixes: c64f46ee1377 ("arm64: mm: use enum to identify pgtable level instead of *_SHIFT")
