[PATCH 2/2] x86/mm: Fix sparse warnings in untagged_ptr()

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Tue Nov 15 2022 - 19:44:11 EST


Linear Address Masking patchset triggered a lot of sparse warnings.

The root cause is that casting pointer to '__typeof__(*(ptr)) *' will
strip all sparse tags. The type has to be defined based on the pointer
type, not based on what the pointer points to.

Fix cast in untagged_ptr() and avoid __typeof__() usage in
get/put_user().
