Subject: [patch 1/3] clockevents: Use u32 for mult and shift factors
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:05:25 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091111134229.725664788@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20091111134018.393422332@linutronix.de
[-- Attachment #1: clockevents-use-u32-for-mult-and-shift-factors.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1985 bytes --]
The mult and shift factors of clock events differ in their data type
from those of clock sources for no reason. u32 is sufficient for
both. shift is always <= 32 and mult is limited to 2^32-1 to avoid
64bit multiplication overflows in the conversion.
Preparatory patch for a generic mult/shift factor calculation
function.
