Subject: [PATCH 5/7] libbpf: Return const btf_param from btf_params inline function

From: Jiri Olsa <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2019 09:31:42 +0200

I'm getting following errors when compiling with -Wcast-qual:

  bpf/btf.h: In function ‘btf_param* btf_params(const btf_type*)’:
  bpf/btf.h:291:35: warning: cast from type ‘const btf_type*’ to type
  ‘btf_param*’ casts away qualifiers [-Wcast-qual]
    291 |  return (struct btf_param *)(t + 1);
        |                                   ^

The argument is const so the cast to following struct btf_param
pointer should be const as well. Casting the const away in btf.c
call where it's correctly used without const in deduplication
code.
