Subsequent changes will cause the exit_latency_ns and target_residency_ns fields in struct cpuidle_state to be used in computations in which data type conversions to u64 may turn a negative number close to zero into a verly large positive number leading to incorrect results. In preparation for that, change the data type of the fields mentioned above to s64, but ensure that they will not be negative themselves. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
