[PATCH 1/2] selftests: timens: use 'llabs()' over 'abs()'

[Anders Roxell]

When building selftests/timens with clang, the compiler warn about the
function abs() see below:

timerfd.c:64:7: error: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type 'long long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of value [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value]
                if (abs(elapsed - 3600) > 60) {
                    ^
timerfd.c:64:7: note: use function 'llabs' instead
                if (abs(elapsed - 3600) > 60) {
                    ^~~
                    llabs

The note indicates what to do, Rework to use the function 'llabs()'.

Careful.

Isn't the tv_sec member of `struct timespec` a `time_t` which is 32b
on 32b hosts and 64b on 64b hosts? If I'm recalling that correctly,
then this patch results in a harmless (though unnecessary) sign
extension for 32b targets. That should be fine, but someone like Arnd
should triple check if my concern is valid or not.

So I'm in favor of this patch (dispatching to abs or labs based on 64b
host) would hurt readability.

It could actually be 'int', 'long' or 'long long' depending on the architecture
and C library. Maybe we need a temporary variable of type 'long long'
to hold the difference, and pass that to llabs()?

[PATCHv2] selftests: timens: exec: use 'labs()' over 'abs()'

[Anders Roxell]

When building selftests/timens with clang, the compiler warn about the
function abs() see below:

exec.c:33:8: error: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type 'long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of value [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value]
                        if (abs(tst.tv_sec - now.tv_sec) > 5)
                            ^
exec.c:33:8: note: use function 'labs' instead
                        if (abs(tst.tv_sec - now.tv_sec) > 5)
                            ^~~
                            labs

Rework to store the time difference in a 'long long' and pass that to
llabs(), since the variable can be an 'int', 'long' or 'long long'
depending on the architecture and C library.
