[ Upstream commit921d161f15] In copy_highpage() the `kto` and `kfrom` local variables are pointers to struct page, but these are used to hold arbitrary pointers to kernel memory . Each call to page_address() returns a void pointer to memory associated with the relevant page, and copy_page() expects void pointers to this memory. This inconsistency was introduced in commit2563776b41("arm64: mte: Tags-aware copy_{user_,}highpage() implementations") and while this doesn't appear to be harmful in practice it is clearly wrong. Correct this by making `kto` and `kfrom` void pointers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
