[PATCH v2] tracing: Remove bogus 64-bit synth_event_trace() vararg assumption

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Wed Feb 12 2020 - 15:13:06 EST


The vararg code in synth_event_trace() assumed the args were 64 bit
which is not the case on 32-bit systems. Just use long which should
work on every system.

Also remove all the u64 casts from the synth event test module, which
also cause compile warnings on 32-bit compiles.

This fixes the bug reported by the kernel test robot/Rong Chen as
reported here:

20200212113444.GS12867@shao2-debian/">https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200212113444.GS12867@shao2-debian/

With this commit, the lkp-tests tests now pass, as do the synth/kprobe
event test modules and selftests on x86_64.
