Just tried this with 4.19-rc2 on x86(32bit). lpj return as zero which is not expected
After disassembling the code,
0xc1239a9e <+199>: imul $0x3e8,0xc12296e4,%edx
0xc1239aa8 <+209>: xor %ecx,%ecx
0xc1239aaa <+211>: test %edx,%edx
0xc1239aac <+213>: mov %eax,%ebx
0xc1239aae <+215>: je 0xc1239abd <tsc_init+230>
0xc1239ab0 <+217>: mov $0x64,%ecx
0xc1239ab5 <+222>: mov %edx,%eax
0xc1239ab7 <+224>: xor %edx,%edx
0xc1239ab9 <+226>: div %ecx
0xc1239abb <+228>: mov %eax,%ecx
0xc1239abd <+230>: mov %ebx,%eax
0xc1239abf <+232>: mov $0x64,%ebx
0xc1239ac4 <+237>: div %ebx
0xc1239ac6 <+239>: mov %ecx,%edx
imul will load the result into %edx, %edx supposed to be high 32 bit which is not zero,
It should be zero in this case. both lpj and tsc_khz should be u64 to work properly.
