The counters in struct lockdep_stats are all (signed) ints. For some
counters (e.g. hardirqs_on_events, hardirqs_off_events), it's easy to
trigger an overflow in a short period of time, rendering the information
exposed under /proc/lockdep_stats erroneous, and causing UBSAN to
scream.
Since all counters can never validly be negative, we can make them
unsigned, which is sufficient to placate UBSAN. However, this merely
doubles the time until an overflow silently occurs, rendering the
information under /proc/lockdep_stats erroneous.
To avoid the undefined behaviour and to avoid erroneous results, this
patch upgrades all of the counters to unsigned long, which cannot
overflow in a reasonable time frame.
We don't need to change anything else. The counters are only manipulated
via this_cpu inc/dec operations, which are unaffected by the type.
They're only read read by the code generating the /proc output, which
sums the values into unsigned long long values.
