selftests/bpf: Change variable types for -Wsign-compare
This is a follow up patch for commit 495d2d8("selftests/bpf: Attempt
to build BPF programs with -Wsign-compare") from Alexei Starovoitov[1]
to be able to enable -Wsign-compare C compilation flag for clang since
-Wall doesn't add it and BPF programs are built with clang.This has the
benefit to catch problematic comparisons in future tests as quoted from
the commit message:"
int i = -1;
unsigned int j = 1;
if (i < j) // this is false.
long i = -1;
unsigned int j = 1;
if (i < j) // this is true.
C standard for reference:
- If either operand is unsigned long the other shall be converted to
unsigned long.
- Otherwise, if one operand is a long int and the other unsigned int,
then if a long int can represent all the values of an unsigned int,
the unsigned int shall be converted to a long int;
otherwise both operands shall be converted to unsigned long int.
- Otherwise, if either operand is long, the other shall be
converted to long.
- Otherwise, if either operand is unsigned, the other shall be
converted to unsigned.
Unfortunately clang's -Wsign-compare is very noisy.
It complains about (s32)a == (u32)b which is safe and doen't
have surprising behavior."
This specific patch supresses the following warnings when
-Wsign-compare is enabled:
1 warning generated.
progs/bpf_iter_bpf_percpu_array_map.c:35:16: warning: comparison of
integers of different signs: 'int' and 'const volatile __u32'
(aka 'const volatile unsigned int') [-Wsign-compare]
35 | for (i = 0; i < num_cpus; i++) {
| ~ ^ ~~~~~~~~
1 warning generated.
progs/bpf_qdisc_fifo.c:93:2: warning: comparison of integers of
different signs: 'int' and '__u32'
(aka 'unsigned int') [-Wsign-compare]
93 | bpf_for(i, 0, sch->q.qlen) {
| ^ ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
Should be noted that many more similar changes are still needed in order
to be able to enable the -Wsign-compare flag since -Werror is enabled and
would cause compilation of bpf selftests to fail.
