commit 36569780b0d64de283f9d6c2195fd1a43e221ee8 upstream. The commite6fe3f422b("sched: Make multiple runqueue task counters 32-bit") changed nr_uninterruptible to an unsigned int. But the nr_uninterruptible values for each of the CPU runqueues can grow to large numbers, sometimes exceeding INT_MAX. This is valid, if, over time, a large number of tasks are migrated off of one CPU after going into an uninterruptible state. Only the sum of all nr_interruptible values across all CPUs yields the correct result, as explained in a comment in kernel/sched/loadavg.c. Change the type of nr_uninterruptible back to unsigned long to prevent overflows, and thus the miscalculation of load average.

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.
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.
