There are currently two bugs. The one Oleg is fixing is a crash bug in the x86-64 mul_u64_u64_div_u64() function caused by potential overflow. The mul_u64_u64_div_u64() function is used not only in cputime.c ,but also widely used within drivers.
The other one is a thread group statistics time overflow bug. If the overflow of mul_u64_u64_div_u64() can be fixed, it at least doesn't crash the system anymore. However, regarding the accuracy of the timing statistics, this bug might be more harder to fix.
