Subject: ARC: mm: PAE40: Fix crash at munmap
From: Yuriy Kolerov <yuriy.kolerov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6a8b2ca702b279bea0e8f0363056439352e2081c upstream.
commit 1c3c90930392 broke PAE40. Macro pfn_pte(pfn, prot) creates paddr
from pfn, but the page shift was getting truncated to 32 bits since we lost
the proper cast to 64 bits (for PAE400
Instead of reverting that commit, use a better helper which is 32/64 bits
safe just like ARM implementation.
Fixes: 1c3c90930392 ("ARC: mm: fix build breakage with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS")
