From 106f41f5a302cb1f36c7543fae6a05de12e96fa4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2019 15:44:22 -0500 Subject: tracing: Have the histogram compare functions convert to u64 first The compare functions of the histogram code would be specific for the size of the value being compared (byte, short, int, long long). It would reference the value from the array via the type of the compare, but the value was stored in a 64 bit number. This is fine for little endian machines, but for big endian machines, it would end up comparing zeros or all ones (depending on the sign) for anything but 64 bit numbers. To fix this, first derference the value as a u64 then convert it to the type being compared.
