PowerPC-64 follows the LP64 data model and then uses int-l64.h (instead of
int-ll64.h like most architectures) for user space code.

Here is the same code with the (suggested) "%lu" token on x86_86:

  samples/landlock/sandboxer.c: In function ‘populate_ruleset_net’:
  samples/landlock/sandboxer.c:170:77: error: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘__u64’ {aka ‘long long unsigned int’} [-Werror=format=]
    170 |                                 "Failed to update the ruleset with port \"%lu\": %s\n",
        |                                                                           ~~^
        |                                                                             |
        |                                                                             long unsigned int
        |                                                                           %llu
    171 |                                 net_port.port, strerror(errno));
        |                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        |                                         |
        |                                         __u64 {aka long long unsigned int}

We would then need to cast __u64 to unsigned long long to avoid this warning,
which may look useless, of even buggy, for people taking a look at this sample.

Anyway, it makes more sense to cast it to __u16 because it is the
expected type for a TCP port. I'm updating the patch with that.
Konstantin, please take this fix for the next series:
