Subject: fix jiffy calculations in calibrate_delay_direct to handle overflow
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=70a062286b9dfcbd24d2e11601aecfead5cf709a;p=linux-beck.git

fix jiffy calculations in calibrate_delay_direct to handle overflow

Fixes a hang when booting as dom0 under Xen, when jiffies can be
quite large by the time the kernel init gets this far.
