[ Upstream commit 41d4ce6df3f4945341ec509a840cc002a413b6cc ]
With the latest LLVM bpf selftests build will fail with the following error message:
progs/profiler.inc.h:710:31: error: default initialization of an object of type 'typeof ((parent_task)->real_cred->uid.val)' (aka 'const unsigned int') leaves the object uninitialized and is incompatible with C++ [-Werror,-Wdefault-const-init-unsafe] 710 | proc_exec_data->parent_uid = BPF_CORE_READ(parent_task, real_cred, uid.val); | ^ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/bpf/bpf_core_read.h:520:35: note: expanded from macro 'BPF_CORE_READ' 520 | ___type((src), a, ##__VA_ARGS__) __r; \ | ^
This happens because BPF_CORE_READ (and other macro) declare the variable __r using the ___type macro which can inherit const modifier from intermediate types.
Fix this by using __typeof_unqual__, when supported. (And when it is not supported, the problem shouldn't appear, as older compilers haven't complained.)
