This change was necessary to enforce the implied contract that bpf_object_skeleton->data should not be mutated. The data will be cast to `void *` during assignment to handle the case where a user is compiling with older libbpf headers to avoid a compiler warning of `const void *` data being cast to `void *` Signed-off-by: Matt Smith <alastorze@xxxxxx> --- tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h index f177d897c5f7..2f6f0e15d1e7 100644 --- a/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h @@ -854,7 +854,7 @@ struct bpf_object_skeleton { size_t sz; /* size of this struct, for forward/backward compatibility */ const char *name; - void *data; + const void *data; size_t data_sz; struct bpf_object **obj; -- 2.30.2
