6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 7b29828c5af6841bdeb9fafa32fdfeff7ab9c407 ]
Signedness of char is signed on x86_64, but unsigned on arm64.
Fix the warning building cmsg_sender.c on signed platforms or
forced with -fsigned-char:
msg_sender.c:455:12:
error: implicit conversion from 'int' to 'char'
changes value from 128 to -128
[-Werror,-Wconstant-conversion]
buf[0] = ICMPV6_ECHO_REQUEST;
constant ICMPV6_ECHO_REQUEST is 128.
