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.
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.
