Divide By Zero

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net/sched: sch_hfsc: fix divide-by-zero in rtsc_min()<br />
<br />
m2sm() converts a u32 slope to a u64 scaled value. For large inputs<br />
(e.g. m1=4000000000), the result can reach 2^32. rtsc_min() stores<br />
the difference of two such u64 values in a u32 variable `dsm` and<br />
uses it as a divisor. When the difference is exactly 2^32 the<br />
truncation yields zero, causing a divide-by-zero oops in the<br />
concave-curve intersection path:<br />
<br />
Oops: divide error: 0000<br />
RIP: 0010:rtsc_min (net/sched/sch_hfsc.c:601)<br />
Call Trace:<br />
init_ed (net/sched/sch_hfsc.c:629)<br />
hfsc_enqueue (net/sched/sch_hfsc.c:1569)<br />
[...]<br />
<br />
Widen `dsm` to u64 and replace do_div() with div64_u64() so the full<br />
difference is preserved.
