Dab Carpenter reported that:
The patch
bce29ac9ce0b: "trace: Add osnoise tracer" from Jun 22,
2021, leads to the following static checker warning:
kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:1103 run_osnoise()
warn: unsigned 'noise' is never less than zero.
In this part of the code:
1100 /*
1101 * This shouldn't happen.
1102 */
1103 if (noise < 0) {
^^^^^^^^^
1104 osnoise_taint("negative noise!");
1105 goto out;
1106 }
1107
And the static checker is right because 'noise' is u64.
Make noise s64 and keep the check. It is important to check if
the time read is behaving correctly - so we can trust the results.
I also re-arranged some variable declarations.
