When building selftests/timers with clang, the compiler warn about the
function abs() see below:

posix_timers.c:69:6: warning: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type 'long long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of value [-Wabsolute-value]
        if (abs(diff - DELAY * USECS_PER_SEC) > USECS_PER_SEC / 2) {
            ^
posix_timers.c:69:6: note: use function 'llabs' instead
        if (abs(diff - DELAY * USECS_PER_SEC) > USECS_PER_SEC / 2) {
            ^~~
            llabs

The note indicates what to do, Rework to use the function 'llabs()'.

Thanks for the patch!

I wonder why tools/testing/selftests/timers/adjtick.c redefines llabs
when it already includes stdlib.h, and how that doesn't result in some
kind of compiler diagnostic.

Hmm. The define in /usr/include/stdlib.h is under #ifdef __USE_ISOC99
Maybe be that explains the reason for the definitions in the other two
timers file?

Anders, I would like to understand this before I take this patch. I see
you sent several patches to other tests as well. Would be useful at
least understand why these defines exist.

thanks,
