This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled time: Fix overflow when HZ is smaller than 60 to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 252ae09718c3fb59dc39dcf4594eb7dcccec0101 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2014 16:41:36 -0500 Subject: time: Fix overflow when HZ is smaller than 60 commit 80d767d770fd9c697e434fd080c2db7b5c60c6dd upstream. When compiling for the IA-64 ski emulator, HZ is set to 32 because the emulation is slow and we don't want to waste too many cycles processing timers. Alpha also has an option to set HZ to 32. This causes integer underflow in kernel/time/jiffies.c: kernel/time/jiffies.c:66:2: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow] .mult = NSEC_PER_JIFFY << JIFFIES_SHIFT, /* details above */ ^ This patch reduces the JIFFIES_SHIFT value to avoid the overflow.
