tools lib subcmd: Make it an error to pass a signed value to OPTION_UINTEGER
Options marked OPTION_UINTEGER or OPTION_U64 clearly indicates that an unsigned value is expected, so just error out when a negative value is passed, instead of returning something undesired to the tool. E.g.: # perf bench futex hash -t -4 # Running 'futex/hash' benchmark: Error: switch `t' expects an unsigned numerical value Usage: perf bench futex hash <options> -t, --threads <n> Specify amount of threads # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-2mdn8s2raatyhz7tamrsz22r@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
