Salman Qazi 9993bc635d sched/x86: Fix overflow in cyc2ns_offset
When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset.  However,
when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be
carried over from the previous kernel.  The computation of
cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the
machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec.  The
overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is
enough room to store the final answer.

We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and
remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing
the multiplication separately on the two components.

Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous
fix in __cycles_2_ns().

/* Accelerators for sched_clock()

* basic equation:
* ns = cycles / (freq / ns_per_sec)
* ns = cycles * (ns_per_sec / freq)
* ns = cycles * (10^9 / (cpu_khz * 10^3))
* ns = cycles * (10^6 / cpu_khz)
*
* Then we use scaling math (suggested by george@mvista.com) to get:
* ns = cycles * (10^6 * SC / cpu_khz) / SC
* ns = cycles * cyc2ns_scale / SC
*
* And since SC is a constant power of two, we can convert the div
* into a shift.
*
* We can use khz divisor instead of mhz to keep a better precision, since
* cyc2ns_scale is limited to 10^6 * 2^10, which fits in 32 bits.

* In:
*
* ns = cycles * cyc2ns_scale / SC
*
* Although we may still have enough bits to store the value of ns,
* in some cases, we may not have enough bits to store cycles * cyc2ns_scale,
* leading to an incorrect result.
*
* To avoid this, we can decompose 'cycles' into quotient and remainder
* of division by SC. Then,
*
* ns = (quot * SC + rem) * cyc2ns_scale / SC
