perf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definition
The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus, the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at higher optimization levels. This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems. Commiter note: Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the previous patch. Cc: David S.
