Geert Uytterhoeven 64a7976b4f time: Make sure jiffies_to_msecs() preserves non-zero time periods
commit abcbcb80cd upstream.

For the common cases where 1000 is a multiple of HZ, or HZ is a multiple of
1000, jiffies_to_msecs() never returns zero when passed a non-zero time
period.

However, if HZ > 1000 and not an integer multiple of 1000 (e.g. 1024 or
1200, as used on alpha and DECstation), jiffies_to_msecs() may return zero
for small non-zero time periods.  This may break code that relies on
receiving back a non-zero value.

jiffies_to_usecs() does not need such a fix: one jiffy can only be less
than one µs if HZ > 1000000, and such large values of HZ are already
rejected at build time, twice:

  - include/linux/jiffies.h does #error if HZ >= 12288,
  - kernel/time/time.c has BUILD_BUG_ON(HZ > USEC_PER_SEC).

Broken since forever.
