For subject, we are not 'Remove the casting ...'. What the code did is
to change the casting.

Also, I don't understand the above commit message. What does this mean
about 'data extension operation of jited_ksyms and jited_linfo into zero 
extension'?

In prog_tests/btf.c, we have a few other places to cast 
jited_linfo[...]/jited_ksyms[...] to 'long' type. Maybe casting
to 'unsigned long' is a better choice. Casting to 'unsigned long long'
of course will work, but is it necessary? Or you are talking about
64bit kernel and 32bit user space?
