The members of bpf_prog_info, which are line_info, jited_line_info,
jited_ksyms and jited_func_lens, store u64 address pointed to the
corresponding memory regions. Memory addresses are conceptually
unsigned, (unsigned long) casting makes more sense, so let's make
a change for conceptual uniformity.

Took in patch 1-3, lgtm, thanks! My question around the cleanups in patch 4-6 ...
there are various other such cases e.g. in libbpf, perhaps makes sense to clean all
of them up at once and not just the 4 locations in here.

if (void *)(long) pattern is wrong, then I guess the best replacement
should be (void *)(uintptr_t) ?


I also think that (void *)(uintptr_t) would be the best replacement. I applied the changes to kernel/bpf and samples/bpf, and it worked fine. But in selftests/bpf, the following similar error occur at compile time:

progs/test_cls_redirect.c:504:11: error: cast to 'uint8_t *' (aka 'unsigned char *') from smaller integer type 'uintptr_t' (aka 'unsigned int') [-Werror,-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
	.head = (uint8_t *)(uintptr_t)skb->data,

I take clang to compile with the front and back end separation, like samples/bpf, and it works. It seems that the all-in-one clang has problems handling the uintptr_t.


Thanks,
Daniel
