[RFC 1/4] rseq/param_test: Convert test_data_entry::count to intptr_t

From: Boqun Feng <hidden>
Date: 2016-07-27 15:05:23
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kernel selftest framework, restartable sequences support, the rest · Maintainers: Shuah Khan, Shuah Khan, Mathieu Desnoyers, Peter Zijlstra, "Paul E. McKenney", Boqun Feng, Linus Torvalds

The current semantics of do_resq() is to do a intptr_t type store in
successful cases, however, in test_percpu_{inc,spinlock}, we use
test_data_entry::count as the location to store, whose type is int.

intptr_t and int have different size on LP64 systems, and despite the
inconsistency of types, having test_data_entry::count as int needs more
care on endian handling.

To make things simpler and more consistent, convert
test_data_entry::count to type intptr_t, which also makes the coming
tests for ppc64le and ppc64 share the same code.
