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 task(s) variables are unsigned, thus, they could never be a negative number (which they are not in current code anyway), hence avoiding an out of bound access warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
