Subject[PATCH 1/2] acct: Fix accuracy loss for input value of encode_comp_t()
Date
See calculation of ac_{u,s}time in fill_ac():
> ac->ac_utime = encode_comp_t(nsec_to_AHZ(pacct->ac_utime));
> ac->ac_stime = encode_comp_t(nsec_to_AHZ(pacct->ac_stime));

Return value of nsec_to_AHZ() is always type of 'u64', but it is
handled as type of 'unsigned long' in encode_comp_t, and accuracy
loss would happen on 32-bit platform when 'unsigned long' value
is 32-bit-width.

So 'u64' value of encode_comp_t() may look better.
