[PATCH v2] selftests/seccomp: fix pointer type mismatch in UPROBE test

From: Nirbhay Sharma
Date: Sun Oct 26 2025 - 05:13:30 EST


Fix compilation error in UPROBE_setup caused by pointer type mismatch
in the ternary expression when compiled with -fcf-protection. The
probed_uprobe function pointer has the __attribute__((nocf_check))
attribute, which causes the conditional operator to fail when combined
with the regular probed_uretprobe function pointer:

seccomp_bpf.c:5175:74: error: pointer type mismatch in conditional
expression [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]

Cast both function pointers to 'const void *' to match the expected
parameter type of get_uprobe_offset(), resolving the type mismatch
while preserving the function selection logic.

This error appears with compilers that enable Control Flow Integrity
(CFI) protection via -fcf-protection, such as Clang 19.1.2 (default
on Fedora).
