We can fix it with the following:

-               u8 (*prog_tags)[BPF_TAG_SIZE] = (void *)(info->prog_tags);
-               __u32 *prog_lens = (__u32 *)(info->jited_func_lens);
-               __u64 *prog_addrs = (__u64 *)(info->jited_ksyms);
-               void *func_infos = (void *)(info->func_info);
+               u8 (*prog_tags)[BPF_TAG_SIZE] = (void *)(intptr_t)(info->prog_tags);
+               __u32 *prog_lens = (__u32 *)(intptr_t)(info->jited_func_lens);
+               __u64 *prog_addrs = (__u64 *)(intptr_t)(info->jited_ksyms);
+               void *func_infos = (void *)(intptr_t)(info->func_info);
