This macro is needed for the format output used for ftrace and perf, to know if a binary field is a signed type or not. The is_signed_type() macro is used against all fields that are recorded by events to automate the operation. The problem sparse has is with the current way is_signed_type() works: ((type)-1 < 0) If "type" is a poiner, than sparse does not like it being compared to an integer (zero). The simple fix is to just give zero the same type. The runtime result stays the same.
