4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Matija Glavinic Pecotic <matija.glavinic-pecotic.ext@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 34f41c0316ed52b0b44542491d89278efdaa70e4 upstream.
For e.g. HZ=100, timer being 430 jiffies in the future, and 32 bit
unsigned int, there is an overflow on unsigned int right-hand side
of the expression which results with wrong values being returned.
Type cast the multiplier to 64bit to avoid that issue.
Fixes: 46c8f0b077a8 ("timers: Fix get_next_timer_interrupt() computation")
