perf trace: Fix mmap return address truncation to 32-bit
Using 'perf trace' for mmap is truncating return values by stripping the top 32 bits, actually printing only the lower 32 bits. This was because the ret value was of an 'int' type and not a 'long' type. The Problem: 991258501.244 ( 0.004 ms): mmap(len: 40001536, prot: READ|WRITE, flags: PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS, fd: -1) = 0x56691000 991258501.257 ( 0.000 ms): minfault [_int_malloc+0x1038] => //anon@0x7fa056691008 //(d.) The first line shows an mmap, which succeeds and returns 0x56691000. However the next line shows a memory access to that virtual memory area, specifically to 0x7fa056691008. The upper 32 bit is lost due to the problem mentioned above, and thus mmap's return value didn't have the upper 0x7fa0. Tested on 3.17-rc5 from the linus's tree, and the HEAD of tip/master Signed-off-by: Chang Hyun Park <[email protected]> Cc: H.
