From: Rakib Mullick Due to commit dc326fca2b64 (x86, cpu: Clean up and unify the NOP selection infrastructure), we get the following warning: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c: In function ‘ftrace_make_nop’: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:308:6: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c: In function ‘ftrace_make_call’: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:318:6: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type ftrace_nop_replace() now returns const unsigned char *, so change its associated function/variable to its compatible type to keep compiler clam.
