ftrace: let ftrace_enable_sysctl take a kernel pointer buffer

Commit 3292739 ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler") changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer. Adjust the signature of ftrace_enable_sysctl to match ctl_table.proc_handler which fixes the following sparse warning: kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces) kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43: expected void * kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43: got void [noderef] __user *buffer Fixes: 3292739 ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler") Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Cc: Al Viro <[email protected]> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
