Subject: [PATCH 3.16 092/129] tools lib traceevent: Fix buffer overflow in
 arg_eval

3.16.70-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tony Jones <tonyj@...e.de>

commit 7c5b019e3a638a5a290b0ec020f6ca83d2ec2aaa upstream.

Fix buffer overflow observed when running perf test.

The overflow is when trying to evaluate "1ULL << (64 - 1)" which is
resulting in -9223372036854775808 which overflows the 20 character
buffer.

If is possible this bug has been reported before but I still don't see
any fix checked in:
