+Subject: [PATCH] x86/hyperv_clock: be explicit about mul instruction data size
+
+With gcc 4.7.2, the build fails with:
+
+x86/hyperv_clock.c: Assembler messages:
+x86/hyperv_clock.c:21: Error: no instruction mnemonic suffix given and no register operands; can't size instruction
+
+In order to avoid this, make the mul instruction data size explicit by
+adding the appropriate suffix. It operates on 64-bit data, so use
+"mulq".
