Subject: perf diff: Constify strchr() return variables
X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc1~16^2~256
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f6f41aef53761517391b6192fe5b4bc30b2d717a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

perf diff: Constify strchr() return variables

Newer glibc versions return const char for strchr() when the 's' arg is
const, change the return variable to const to match that.

Also we don't need to turn that ',' into a '\0', as strtol() will stop
in the first invalid char. No need to touch read only memory.

First noticed with fedora 44.
