Linux 4.3 (b20112edeadf0b8a1416de061caa4beb11539902) improved the accuracy of the clock/ns conversion routines. As a result the shift factor can now be 32. This value is directly exported in the perf_event_open() mmap page, and this potentially breaks the sample code that shifts 1 left by the shift value. Add a cast in the sample code so that a proper 64-bit value results from the shift. This is the same change that was made to the sample code in include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h in Linux 4.4 (b9511cd761faafca7a1acc059e792c1399f9d7c6).
