From 2b46b5673ca67d23302c2afac045def988a3cade Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Neuling Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:18:40 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Fix possible division by zero in scaled time accounting If we get no user time and no system time allocated since the last account_system_vtime, the system to user time ratio estimate can end up dividing by zero. This was causing a problem noticed by Balbir Singh.
