so that means (us * 0x000010c7 * HZ * lpj)  is calculated at 32-bits and finally
(unsigned long long) cast it as 64-bits?
if i remember correctly, "64bit cast to 32-bits" is possible get 0
value, since high bits cast out.
But how 34-bits cast to 64-bits will make the value as 0 if original
low 32-bits value is non-zero?
appreciate your reply,
