Subject: [patch] ntp: avoid integer overflow in do_adjtimex()
John Stultz traced back ntpd problems to the following issue:
do_adjtimex() [used by ntpd] can overflow if there's a too long delay
between timer interrupts - as it can happen on NO_HZ. Expand the
time_adjust calculation/division from 32 bits to 64 bits.
