Just tried this with 4.19-rc2 on x86(32bit). lpj return as zero which is not expected
After disassembling the code,
	0xc1239a9e <+199>:   imul   $0x3e8,0xc12296e4,%edx
	0xc1239aa8 <+209>:   xor    %ecx,%ecx
	0xc1239aaa <+211>:   test   %edx,%edx
	0xc1239aac <+213>:   mov    %eax,%ebx
	0xc1239aae <+215>:   je     0xc1239abd <tsc_init+230>
	0xc1239ab0 <+217>:   mov    $0x64,%ecx
	0xc1239ab5 <+222>:   mov    %edx,%eax
	0xc1239ab7 <+224>:   xor    %edx,%edx
	0xc1239ab9 <+226>:   div    %ecx
	0xc1239abb <+228>:   mov    %eax,%ecx
	0xc1239abd <+230>:   mov    %ebx,%eax
	0xc1239abf <+232>:   mov    $0x64,%ebx
	0xc1239ac4 <+237>:   div    %ebx
	0xc1239ac6 <+239>:   mov    %ecx,%edx
imul will load the result into %edx, %edx supposed to be high 32 bit which is not zero,
It should be zero in this case. both lpj and tsc_khz should be u64 to work properly.
