I was referring to this:
https://github.com/richardcochran/linuxptp/blob/master/phc.c#L38

/*
* On 32 bit platforms, the PHC driver's maximum adjustment (type
* 'int' in units of ppb) can overflow the timex.freq field (type
* 'long'). So in this case we clamp the maximum to the largest
* possible adjustment that fits into a 32 bit long.
*/
#define BITS_PER_LONG (sizeof(long)*8)
#define MAX_PPB_32 32767999 /* 2^31 - 1 / 65.536 */

Technically it is not "not true".

And what is the reason for the neg_adj thing? Can you give an example
of when does the "normal way" of doing signed arithmetics not work?

Thanks,
