This is an attempt to harden the typing on virt_to_pfn() and pfn_to_virt(). Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed (const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments without warnings. For symmetry, we do the same with pfn_to_virt(). The problem with this inconsistent typing was pointed out by Russell King: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/YoJDKJXc0MJ2QZTb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ And confirmed by Andrew Morton: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220701160004.2ffff4e5ab59a55499f4c736@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ So the recognition of the problem is widespread. These platforms have been chosen as initial conversion targets: - ARC - ARM - ARM64/Aarch64 - asm-generic (including for example x86) - m68k The idea is that if this goes in, it will block further misuse of the function signatures due to the large compile coverage, and then I can go in and fix the remaining platforms on a one-by-one basis. Some of the patches have been circulated before but were not picked up by subsystem maintainers, so now the arch tree is target for this series. It has passed zeroday builds after a lot of iterations in my personal tree, but there could be some randconfig outliers. The To/Cc list would be too long if I include all the minor patches maintainers, so I have trimmed it down to the mailing lists since these people certainly have received the patches before.
