Subject: [PATCH v12 01/11] perf/x86: Fix variable types for LBR registers
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2020 16:09:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200613080958.132489-2-like.xu@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200613080958.132489-1-like.xu@linux.intel.com>

From: Wei Wang <wei.w.wang@intel.com>

The MSR variable type can be 'unsigned int', which uses less memory than
the longer 'unsigned long'. Fix 'struct x86_pmu' for that. The lbr_nr won't
be a negative number, so make it 'unsigned int' as well.

Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
