Thank you for your work.

Yeah, we have to let do_div() no touch (especially for 32-bit machine,
which the highest bit is checked). The related code in
"include/asm-generic/div64.h":

23 #if BITS_PER_LONG == 64
24
25 # define do_div(n,base) ({ \
26 uint32_t __base = (base); \
27 uint32_t __rem; \
28 __rem = ((uint64_t)(n)) % __base; \
29 (n) = ((uint64_t)(n)) / __base; \
30 __rem; \
31 })
32
33 #elif BITS_PER_LONG == 32
34
35 extern uint32_t __div64_32(uint64_t *dividend, uint32_t divisor);
36
37 /* The unnecessary pointer compare is there
38 * to check for type safety (n must be 64bit)
39 */
40 # define do_div(n,base) ({ \
41 uint32_t __base = (base); \
42 uint32_t __rem; \
43 (void)(((typeof((n)) *)0) == ((uint64_t *)0)); \
44 if (likely(((n) >> 32) == 0)) { \
45 __rem = (uint32_t)(n) % __base; \
46 (n) = (uint32_t)(n) / __base; \
47 } else \
48 __rem = __div64_32(&(n), __base); \
49 __rem; \
50 })


And for division operation, architectures are signed/unsigned
sensitive, e.g. div_u64() and div_s64(), they are different.


Thanks.
