[PATCH] perf tools: fix type mismatch - long vs __statfs_word

From: Alexey Brodkin
Date: Wed Aug 13 2014 - 13:04:03 EST


>From "include/uapi/asm-generic/statfs.h" it is seen that "statfs.f_type" is of
type "__statfs_word" which in its turn is "__u32" (unsigned int) for 32-bit
systems.

So in case of compilation with "-Werror" following breakage happens:
--->---
fs.c: In function âfs__valid_mountâ:
fs.c:76:24: error: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Werror=sign-compare]
else if (st_fs.f_type != magic)
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
--->---

Note that now when fs.c is in "lib/api/fs" and in "tools/lib/api/Makefile"
CFLAGS has hard-coded "-Werror" this is inevitable even if one builds "perf"
with "WERROR=0".
