b0rked.

Some (randconfig?) causes this set of errors:

I guess that's when CONFIG_HZ is not an even divisor of 1000.
I suppose this needs to be worked on a bit more.

I remember this patch from Joe come up with a pending patch in
net-next.git#master [1] (I mention this as I have not seen hit it in
latest Linux-Next whereas this latest mmotm includes it [2]).

$ grep "config HZ_" kernel/Kconfig.hz
        config HZ_100
        config HZ_250
        config HZ_300
        config HZ_1000

As I see Randy has in his kernel-config:

# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_300=y
# CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set
CONFIG_HZ=300

So there is a problem for the value "300" (only)?

That is the patch by Joe in question: "jiffies conversions: Use
compile time constants when possible" (see also [1]).
