rtla/timerlat: Make timerlat_top_cpu->*_count unsigned long long
[ Upstream commit 4eba4723c5254ba8251ecb7094a5078d5c300646 ]
Most fields of struct timerlat_top_cpu are unsigned long long, but the
fields {irq,thread,user}_count are int (32-bit signed).
This leads to overflow when tracing on a large number of CPUs for a long
enough time:
$ rtla timerlat top -a20 -c 1-127 -d 12h
...
0 12:00:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us)
CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max
1 #43200096 | 0 0 1 2 | 3 2 6 12
...
127 #43200096 | 0 0 1 2 | 3 2 5 11
ALL #119144 e4 | 0 5 4 | 2 28 16
The average latency should be 0-1 for IRQ and 5-6 for thread, but is
reported as 5 and 28, about 4 to 5 times more, due to the count
overflowing when summed over all CPUs: 43200096 * 127 = 5486412192,
however, 1191444898 (= 5486412192 mod MAX_INT) is reported instead, as
seen on the last line of the output, and the averages are thus ~4.6
times higher than they should be (5486412192 / 1191444898 = ~4.6).
Fix the issue by changing {irq,thread,user}_count fields to unsigned
long long, similarly to other fields in struct timerlat_top_cpu and to
the count variable in timerlat_top_print_sum.
