Looks like you have CONFIG_CPU_FREQ, which I don't have.

The issue comes from the jiffies64_to_cputime64() defined in 
arch/powerpc/include/asm/cputime.h :

static inline cputime64_t jiffies64_to_cputime64(const u64 jif)
{
         u64 ct;
         u64 sec;

         /* have to be a little careful about overflow */
         ct = jif % HZ;
         sec = jif / HZ;



On 32 bits, 64 bits % and / require __udivdi3() and __umoddi3(), which 
are not implemented in the kernel.

As HZ fits in 32 bits, the solution is to use do_div(). I should not 
change anything on PPC64 and would solve your issue.
I will submit an update of the patch within an hour.
