for {n,u,m}stosbt
Integer overflows and wrong constants limited the accuracy of these
functions and created situatiosn where sbttoXs(Xstosbt(Y)) != Y. This
was especailly true in the ns case where we had millions of values
that were wrong.
Instead, used fixed constants because there's no way to say ceil(X)
for integer math. Document what these crazy constants are.
Also, use a shift one fewer left to avoid integer overflow causing
incorrect results, and adjust the equasion accordingly. Document this.
Allow times >= 1s to be well defined for these conversion functions
(at least the Xstosbt). There's too many users in the tree that they
work for >= 1s.
This fixes a failure on boot to program firmware on the mlx4
NIC. There was a msleep(1000) in the code. Prior to my recent rounding
changes, msleep(1000) worked, but msleep(1001) did not because the old
code rounded to just below 2^64 and the new code rounds to just above
it (overflowing, causing the msleep(1000) to really sleep 1ms).
A test program to test all cases will be committed shortly. The test
exaustively tries every value (thanks to bde for the test).

README
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
