Subject[PATCH 3.4 70/92] clocksource: Fix abs() usage w/ 64bit values
Date
From: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

3.4.112-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 67dfae0cd72fec5cd158b6e5fb1647b7dbe0834c upstream.

This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit
nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits.

This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit
systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().
