[PATCH] cpuidle: idle exit_latency overflow

[Bo Ye]

From: mtk24676 <C.Cheng@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

In detail:
In kernel-6.1, in the __cpuidle_driver_init function in
driver/cpuidle/driver.c, there is a line of code that causes
an overflow. The line is s->exit_latency_ns = s->exit_latency
* NSEC_PER_USEC. The overflow occurs because the product of an
int type and a constant exceeds the range of the int type.

In C language, when you perform a multiplication operation, if
both operands are of int type, the multiplication operation is
performed on the int type, and then the result is converted to
the target type. This means that if the product of int type
multiplication exceeds the range that int type can represent,
an overflow will occur even if you store the result in a
variable of int64_t type.
