Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/hpet: Use the FSEC_PER_SEC constant for femto-second periods
Date: Mon,  9 Aug 2010 14:20:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1281388810-25806-3-git-send-email-johnstul@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1281388810-25806-2-git-send-email-johnstul@us.ibm.com>

From: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>

The current computation, introduced with f12a15be63, of FSEC_PER_SEC using
the multiplication of (FSEC_PER_NSEC * NSEC_PER_SEC) is performed only
with 32bit integers on small machines, resulting in an overflow and a
*very* short intervals being programmed.  An interrupt storm follows.

Note that we also have to specify FSEC_PER_SEC as being long long to
overcome the same limitations.
