[PATCH v4 04/16] perf kvm: Use subtraction for comparison metrics
From: Leo Yan
Date: Mon Mar 13 2023 - 07:41:35 EST
Currently the metrics comparison uses greater operator (>), it returns
the boolean value (0 or 1).
This patch changes to use subtraction as comparison result, which can
be used by histograms sorting. Since the subtraction result is u64
type, we change the function return type from int to int64_t to avoid
overflow.
