Linus found, while extending integer type extension checks in the sparse static code checker, various fragile patterns of mixed signed/unsigned 64-bit/32-bit integer use in perf_events_p4.c. The relevant hardware register ABI is 64 bit wide on 32-bit kernels as well, so clean it all up a bit, remove unnecessary casts, and make sure we use 64-bit unsigned integers in these places. [ Unfortunately this patch was not tested on real P4 hardware, those are pretty rare already. If this patch causes any problems on P4 hardware then please holler ... ] Reported-by:
