This needs the parenthesis around the parameters as well.

Or just make it into a static inline function. The GET_DELTA_TS is used in
printing to of the event for user space where it makes sense to have it as
a macro (it will be expanded in the "print fmt" of the format file for the
event). But the setting doesn't have that limitation.

static inline void
func_repeats_set_delta_ts(struct func_repeats_entry *entry,
			  unsigned long long delta)
{
	entry->bottom_delta_ts = delta & U32_MAX;
	entry->top_delta_ts = (delta >> 32);
}

And then you can have the compiler type check everything for you. Macros
are nasty when it comes to build errors.
