Patch series "Fix encode_comp_t()".
Type conversion in encode_comp_t() may look a bit problematic.
This patch (of 2):
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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
