[PATCH 3.12 48/78] audit: change decimal constant to macro for invalid uid

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Fri Jan 09 2015 - 05:33:07 EST


From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 42f74461a5b60cf6b42887e6d2ff5b7be4abf1ca upstream.

SFR reported this 2013-05-15:

> After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (i386 defconfig)
> produced this warning:
>
> kernel/auditfilter.c: In function 'audit_data_to_entry':
> kernel/auditfilter.c:426:3: warning: this decimal constant is unsigned only
> in ISO C90 [enabled by default]
>
> Introduced by commit 780a7654cee8 ("audit: Make testing for a valid
> loginuid explicit") from Linus' tree.

Replace this decimal constant in the code with a macro to make it more readable
(add to the unsigned cast to quiet the warning).
