Even in v5.8.2 kernel the cputime has changed from unsigned long to u64 data type. About 200 days, the lowwer 32 bit will be 0x00000000. Because divisor for __div64_32 is unsigned long data type,which is 32 bit for powepc 32, the bug still exists. So it is also a bug in the cputime_adjust which does not check if stime + utime = 0 time = scale_stime((__force u64)stime, (__force u64)rtime, (__force u64)(stime + utime)); The commit 3dc167ba5729 ("sched/cputime: Improve cputime_adjust()") in mainline kernel may has fixed this case. But it is also better to check if divisor is 0 in __div64_32 for other situation.
