Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Avoid potential division by zero in function_stat_show()
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2025 18:53:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250131155346.1313580-1-kniv@yandex-team.ru> (raw)

Cases rec->counter == {0, 1} are checked already.

While x * (x - 1) * 1000 = 0 have many solutions greater than 1 for both
modulo 2^32 and 2^64, that is not the case for x * (x - 1) = 0, so split
division into two.

It is not scary in practice because mod 2^64 solutions are huge and
minimal mod 2^32 solution is 30-bit number.
