This reverts commit 60758d6668.
Now that libsubcmd makes sure that OPT_UINTEGER options will not
return negative values, we can revert this patch while addressing
the problem it solved:
# perf bench futex hash -t -4
# Running 'futex/hash' benchmark:
Error: switch `t' expects an unsigned numerical value
Usage: perf bench futex hash <options>
-t, --threads <n> Specify amount of threads
# perf bench futex hash -t-4
# Running 'futex/hash' benchmark:
Error: switch `t' expects an unsigned numerical value
Usage: perf bench futex hash <options>
-t, --threads <n> Specify amount of threads
#
IMO it is more reasonable to flat out refuse to process a negative
number than to silently turn it into an absolute value.
This also helps in silencing clang's complaint about asking for an
absolute value of an unsigned integer:
bench/futex-hash.c:133:10: error: taking the absolute value of unsigned type 'unsigned int' has no effect [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value]
nsecs = futexbench_sanitize_numeric(nsecs);
^
bench/futex.h:104:42: note: expanded from macro 'futexbench_sanitize_numeric'
#define futexbench_sanitize_numeric(__n) abs((__n))
^
bench/futex-hash.c:133:10: note: remove the call to 'abs' since unsigned values cannot be negative

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
