[PATCH] ktime: Fix ktime_divns to do signed division

From: John Stultz
Date: Fri May 01 2015 - 18:41:41 EST


It was noted that the 32bit implementation of ktime_divns
was doing unsgined division adn didn't properly handle
negative values.

This patch fixes the problem by checking and preserving
the sign bit, and then reapplying it if appropriate
after the division.

Unfortunately there is some duplication since we have
the optimized version for constant 32bit divider. I
was considering reworkign the __ktime_divns helper
to simplify the sign-handling logic, but then it
would likely just be a s64/s64 divide, and probably
should be more generic.

Thoughts?

Nicolas also notes that the ktime_divns() function
breaks if someone passes in a negative divisor as
well. This patch doesn't yet address that issue.
