Kernel 3.10-rc1 build warning on 32-bit ppc associated with commit3925f46

Hi,

When building 3.10-rc1 on a PowerBook G4, I get the following warning:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
arch/powerpc/perf/core-book3s.c: In function ‘power_pmu_bhrb_read’:
arch/powerpc/perf/core-book3s.c:1479: error: integer constant is too large for ‘long’ type
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/perf/core-book3s.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/perf] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
LD arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/built-in.o
LD arch/powerpc/platforms/built-in.o
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/finger/wireless-testing'
make: *** [debian/stamp/build/kernel] Error 2

The code in question came from commit 3925f46 entitled "powerpc/perf: Enable branch stack sampling framework". The gcc version is 4.4.5 running with a Mint 9 distribution.

I have disabled the "-Werror" switch so that the build can continue. That Kconfig question about disabling WERROR is a bit confusing with its double negative construction.

Thanks,

Larry
