commit b4d98bc3fc upstream.
In `dt3k_ns_to_timer()` the following lines near the end of the function
result in a signed integer overflow:
prescale = 15;
base = timer_base * (1 << prescale);
divider = 65535;
*nanosec = divider * base;
(`divider`, `base` and `prescale` are type `int`, `timer_base` and
`*nanosec` are type `unsigned int`. The value of `timer_base` will be
either 50 or 100.)
The main reason for the overflow is that the calculation for `base` is
completely wrong. It should be:
base = timer_base * (prescale + 1);
which matches an earlier instance of this calculation in the same
function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
