[PATCH] time: Fix casting issue in timekeeping_forward_now

From: Andreas Schwab
Date: Sun Aug 19 2012 - 16:09:11 EST


arch_gettimeoffset returns a u32 value which when shifted by tk->shift can
overflow. Cast it to u64 first.

Found this by inspection, I don't know if any existing users of
ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET are affected. In other words, this is untested,
but looks pretty obvious.

Can tk->shift be bigger than 30? If so then the shifts in
update_wall_time need to be adjusted as well.

Andreas.
