Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/5] time: Fix abs() usage with 64-bit values.
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 18:05:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442279124-7309-3-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1442279124-7309-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org>
This patch fixes a usage of abs() with a 64-bit value which could
truncate the result to 32-bits, by replacing it with abs64().
In this case, its unlikely any issue could have been caused by
this, since we're calculating a second delta, which wouldn't be
larger then 32-bit.
