On 32 bit systems, shifting an unsigned long by 32 positions

long is always 64-bit in BPF, but I suspect this is due to
samples/bpf/Makefile still using this clang + llc combo, where clang
is called with native target and llc for -target bpf. Not sure if we
are ready to ditch that complicated combination. Yonghong, do we still
need that or can we just use -target bpf in samples/bpf?

Current most bpf programs in samples/bpf do not use vmlinux.h and CO-RE.
They direct use kernel header files. That is why clang C -> IR compilation still needs to be native.

We could just use -target bpf for the whole compilation but that needs to change the code to use vmlinux.h and CO-RE. There are already a couple of sample bpf programs did this.



The usual way to avoid this is to shift by 16 two times (see
upper_32_bits() macro in the kernel). Use it across the BPF sample
code as well.
