[PATCH] libperf test: Silence printf flag warning

[PATCH] libperf test: Silence printf flag warning

[Ian Rogers]

__u64 maybe an unsigned long, it may also differ from the format
expected by PRIu64. Add a cast to silence the warning:

tools/lib/perf/tests/test-evsel.c:176:33: error: format specifies type 'unsigned long long' but the argument has type 'unsigned long' [-Werror,-Wformat]
                __T_VERBOSE("count = %llu\n", end - start);
                                     ~~~~     ^~~~~~~~~~~
                                     %lu

Which arch/compiler did you hit this? LLVM? Would have been 64-bit
presumably. I'm wondering how I didn't...

I think I'd either change end/start to uint64_t which matches the
count struct and use PRIu64, or change them to unsigned long long.

Thanks! I need to dig into this again, I suspect there was a problem
on PowerPC defining s64/u64 to be long int. Perhaps this is happening
by way of a typedef using int64_t but more likely defining
__SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ is my fix. The guidance in the kernel on
formatters is pretty clear:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/printk-formats.txt
And so I think it is better to fix the type for overall sanity and to drop this.

Thanks,
Ian
