Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: Fix integer overflow when left shifting an integer more than 32 bits

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The 64 bit value read from MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_FIXED_CTR_CTRL is being
bit-wise masked with the value (0x03 << i*4). However, the shifted value
is evaluated using 32 bit arithmetic, so will overflow when i > 8.
Fix this by making 0x03 a ULL so that the shift is performed using
64 bit arithmetic.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unintentional integer overflow")
Fixes: a5ebe0ba3dff ("perf/x86: Check all MSRs before passing hw check")
