Since commit 1b8abbb12128 ("bpf...d_path(): constify path argument"), the first parameter of the bpf_d_path() has been changed to a const constant. We need to modify the header file and bpf_doc.py.
The two error messages are as follows:
linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf$ make

Thanks. I reworded the commit message and applied it to the bpf tree.
