When compiling test_maps selftest with GCC-8, it warns that an array might
be indexed with a negative value, which could cause a negative out of bound
access, depending on parameters of the function. This is the GCC-8 warning:
gcc -Wall -O2 -I../../../include/uapi -I../../../lib -I../../../lib/bpf
-I../../../../include/generated -DHAVE_GENHDR -I../../../include test_maps.c
/home/breno/Devel/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/libbpf.a -lcap -lelf -lrt
-lpthread -o /home/breno/Devel/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_maps
In file included from test_maps.c:16:
test_maps.c: In function ‘run_all_tests’:
test_maps.c:1079:10: warning: array subscript -1 is below array bounds
of ‘pid_t[<Ube20> + 1]’ [-Warray-bounds]
assert(waitpid(pid[i], &status, 0) == pid[i]);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test_maps.c:1059:6: warning: array subscript -1 is below array bounds
of ‘pid_t[<Ube20> + 1]’ [-Warray-bounds]
pid[i] = fork();
~~~^~~
This patch simply guarantees that the tasks variable is unsigned, thus, it
could never be a negative number, hence avoiding an out of bound access
warning.
