There's a new build warning on certain 32-bit kernel builds due to
this commit:

In file included from ./include/linux/printk.h:7,
from ./include/linux/kernel.h:15,
from kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c:13:
kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c: In function ‘kfree_perf_init’:
./include/linux/kern_levels.h:5:18: warning: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘unsigned int’ [-Wformat=]
5 | #define KERN_SOH "\001" /* ASCII Start Of Header */
| ^~~~~~
./include/linux/kern_levels.h:9:20: note: in expansion of macro ‘KERN_SOH’
9 | #define KERN_ALERT KERN_SOH "1" /* action must be taken immediately */
| ^~~~~~~~
./include/linux/printk.h:295:9: note: in expansion of macro ‘KERN_ALERT’
295 | printk(KERN_ALERT pr_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)
| ^~~~~~~~~~
kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c:726:2: note: in expansion of macro ‘pr_alert’
726 | pr_alert("kfree object size=%lu\n", kfree_mult * sizeof(struct kfree_obj));
| ^~~~~~~~
kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c:726:32: note: format string is defined here
726 | pr_alert("kfree object size=%lu\n", kfree_mult * sizeof(struct kfree_obj));
| ~~^
| |
| long unsigned int
| %u


The reason for the warning is that both kfree_mult and sizeof() are
'int' types on 32-bit kernels, while the format string expects a long.

Instead of casting the type to long or tweaking the format string, the
most straightforward solution is to upgrade kfree_mult to a long.
Since this depends on CONFIG_RCU_PERF_TEST

BTW., could we please also rename this code from 'PERF_TEST'/'perf test'
to 'PERFORMANCE_TEST'/'performance test'? At first glance I always
mistakenly believe that it's somehow related to perf, while it isn't. =B-)

Thanks,

Ingo
