Okay, Let's me try to explain more details.
Control Flow Integrity(CFI) is a security mechanism that disallows
changes to the original control flow graph of a compiled binary, making
it significantly harder to perform such attacks.

There are multiple control flow instructions that could be manipulated
by the attacker and subvert control flow. The target instructions that
use data to determine the actual destination.
- indirect jump
- indirect call
- return

In this case, function prototype between caller and callee are mismatch.
Caller: (type A)funcA
Callee: (type A)funcB
Callee: (type C)funcC

funcA calls funcB -> no problem
funcA calls funcC -> CFI check failed

That's why we try to align function prototype.
Please feel free to feedback if you have any questions.
