When building selftests/timens with clang, the compiler warn about the function abs() see below: exec.c:33:8: error: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type 'long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of value [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value] if (abs(tst.tv_sec - now.tv_sec) > 5) ^ exec.c:33:8: note: use function 'labs' instead if (abs(tst.tv_sec - now.tv_sec) > 5) ^~~ labs Rework to store the time difference in a 'long long' and pass that to llabs(), since the variable can be an 'int', 'long' or 'long long' depending on the architecture and C library.
