2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi(a)jp.fujitsu.com>

commit 761b1d26df542fd5eb348837351e4d2f3bc7bffe upstream.

Originally task_s/utime() were designed to return clock_t but
later changed to return cputime_t by following commit:

commit efe567fc8281661524ffa75477a7c4ca9b466c63
Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger(a)de.ibm.com>
Date: Thu Aug 23 15:18:02 2007 +0200

It only changed the type of return value, but not the
implementation. As the result the granularity of task_s/utime()
is still that of clock_t, not that of cputime_t.

So using task_s/utime() in __exit_signal() makes values
accumulated to the signal struct to be rounded and coarse
grained.

This patch removes casts to clock_t in task_u/stime(), to keep
granularity of cputime_t over the calculation.

v2:
Use div_u64() to avoid error "undefined reference to `__udivdi3`"
on some 32bit systems.
