[PATCH V2 16/19] timekeeping: Prepare timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() for overflow safety

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>
Date: 2024-03-25 06:42:25
Also in: linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, timekeeping, clocksource core, ntp, alarmtimer · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, John Stultz, Thomas Gleixner

Open code clocksource_delta() in timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() so that
overflow safety can be added efficiently.
