Fixes clang compilation warnings by changing elf_hash's parameter type
to char * and casting to unsigned char * inside elf_hash:
parse_vdso.c:206:22: warning: passing 'const char *' to parameter of
type 'const unsigned char *' converts between pointers to integer types
where one is of the unique plain 'char' type and the other is not
[-Wpointer-sign]
ver_hash = elf_hash(version);
^~~~~~~
parse_vdso.c:59:52: note: passing argument to parameter 'name' here
static unsigned long elf_hash(const unsigned char *name)
^
parse_vdso.c:207:46: warning: passing 'const char *' to parameter of
type 'const unsigned char *' converts between pointers to integer types
where one is of the unique plain 'char' type and the other is not
[-Wpointer-sign]
ELF(Word) chain = vdso_info.bucket[elf_hash(name) % vdso_info.nbucket];
^~~~
parse_vdso.c:59:52: note: passing argument to parameter 'name' here
static unsigned long elf_hash(const unsigned char *name)
