Thought more about it, can we directly make clocksource_cyc2ns() cover
the overflow case? Something like:
diff --git a/include/linux/clocksource.h b/include/linux/clocksource.h
index aa7032c..1ecc872 100644
--- a/include/linux/clocksource.h
+++ b/include/linux/clocksource.h
@@ -274,7 +274,16 @@ static inline u32 clocksource_hz2mult(u32 hz, u32
shift_constant)
*/
static inline s64 clocksource_cyc2ns(cycle_t cycles, u32 mult, u32 shift)
{
- return ((u64) cycles * mult) >> shift;
+ u64 max = ULLONG_MAX / mult;
+ s64 nsec = 0;
+
+ /* The (mult * cycles) may overflow 64 bits, so add a max check */
+ if (cycles > max) {
+ nsec = ((max * mult) >> shift) * (cycles / max);
+ cycles %= max;
+ }
+ nsec += ((u64) cycles * mult) >> shift;
+ return nsec;
}
Thanks,
Feng
