Subject: Kprobes: Make kprobe.symbol_name const
From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@xxxxxxxxxx>
Kprobes doesn't scribble the kprobe.symbol_name field. Its only set by the
module when registering the probe. Modules that exercise good hygiene
using the "const" qualifier will see warnings...
warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type
Make struct kprobe.symbol_name const char *
