In commit 4cecf6d4 ("sched, x86: Avoid unnecessary overflow in sched_clock") and in recent patch "clocksource: avoid unnecessary overflow in cyclecounter_cyc2ns()" https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/4/17, the mult-shift approach is replaced by 2 steps to avoid storing a large, intermediate value that could overflow. arch/tile/kernel/time.c has a similar pattern in cycles2ns, and this copies the same pattern in this function CC: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> CC: Mike Galbraith <bitbucket@online.de> CC: Salman Qazi <sqazi@google.com> Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
