[PATCH 1/1] perf tests hwmon_pmu: Use PRIu64 + (u64) cast for a __u64 field to work more widely
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

While testing perf with an updated Debian experimental cross compiler
(gcc version 14.2.0 (Debian 14.2.0-13)) this started failing:
In file included from tests/hwmon_pmu.c:12:
tests/hwmon_pmu.c: In function 'do_test':

| long long int
| %ld
LD /tmp/build/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/perf-util-in.o
The usual make that %lld a PRIu64 (since arg7 is
evsel->core.attr.config, which is a __u64) but then on Fedora 44 (gcc
version 16.1.1 20260515 (Red Hat 16.1.1-2)) it ends up with:
In file included from tests/hwmon_pmu.c:13:
tests/hwmon_pmu.c: In function ‘do_test’:
tests/hwmon_pmu.c:200:34: error: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 7 has type ‘__u64’ {aka ‘long long unsigned int’} [-Werror=format=]
200 | pr_debug("FAILED %s:%d Unexpected config for '%s', %" PRIu64 " != %ld\n",
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

| ^~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
So the way to satisfy both compilers is to also add a (u64) cast to
arg7.
