Description

The lttng create command's --subbuf-size, --tracefile-size and --num-subbuf options have a rounding problem.

If you give any of them an argument in the range 2^63 < size < 2^64, the command will "round it up" to 1. The size argument should be rejected instead (for the right reasons).

I'm giving this bug low priority because it is so unlikely to be triggerred.
