Commit54f9aa1092("tools/perf/powerpc/util: Add support to handle compatible mode PVR for perf json events") introduced to select proper JSON events in case of compat mode using auxiliary vector. But this caused a compilation error in ppc64 Big Endian. arch/powerpc/util/header.c: In function 'is_compat_mode': arch/powerpc/util/header.c:20:21: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast] 20 | if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform)) | ^ arch/powerpc/util/header.c:20:39: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast] 20 | if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform)) | Commit saved the getauxval(AT_BASE_PLATFORM) and getauxval(AT_PLATFORM) return values in u64 which causes the compilation error. Patch fixes this issue by changing u64 to "unsigned long".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
