Subject: kernel/time.c: change jiffies_to_clock_t() input parameter's type to unsigned long
From: hank <pyu@xxxxxxxxxx>
The parameter's origin type is long. On an i386 architecture, it can
easily be larger than 0x80000000, causing this function to convert it to a
sign-extended u64 type. Change the type to unsigned long so we get the
correct result.
