[PATCH] tracing/cfi: Fix cmp_entries_* functions signature mismatch

From: Kalesh Singh
Date: Thu Sep 23 2021 - 13:09:22 EST


If CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, attempting to read an event histogram will cause
the kernel to panic due to failed CFI check.

1. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
2. cat >> events/sched/sched_switch/hist
3. kernel panices on attempting to read hist

This happens because the sort() function expects a generic
int (*)(const void *, const void *) pointer for the compare function.
To prevent this CFI failure, change tracing map cmp_entries_* function
signatures to match this.
