Existing code calls connect() with a 'struct sockaddr_in6 *' argument
where a 'struct sockaddr *' argument is declared, yielding compile errors
when building for mips64el/musl-libc:
In file included from cgroup_ancestor.c:3:
cgroup_ancestor.c: In function 'send_datagram':
cgroup_ancestor.c:38:38: error: passing argument 2 of 'connect' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
38 | if (!ASSERT_OK(connect(sock, &addr, sizeof(addr)), "connect")) {
| ^~~~~

| struct sockaddr_in6 *
./test_progs.h:343:29: note: in definition of macro 'ASSERT_OK'
343 | long long ___res = (res); \

386 | int connect (int, const struct sockaddr *, socklen_t);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
This only compiles because of a glibc extension allowing declaration of the
argument as a "transparent union" which includes both types above.
Explicitly cast the argument to allow compiling for both musl and glibc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
